City of Yakima is pretty much a family-oriented town. You'll see big families small families but definitely families with lots of kids. The covid pandemic has changed the way a lot of us with families go out to eat including where we take our families when it's family night out.

Before the pandemic hit in 2020, the busiest place in town where you would always see a lot of families going out to dinner at any night of the week was Red Robin, located on West Nob Hill Boulevard. As life is painstakingly getting back to normal, I've noticed Red Robin is starting to get crowded again.

This place is so popular because all the servers would come by your table and sing Happy Birthday to you. I will forever love their Bleu cheeseburger and Jojo fries!

My daughter loves to play on the portable computer games they have at each table. For a small fee, kids can play games while the food is cooking in the kitchen. I love their chicken and baked potato meal and Willow loves getting Mac n cheese, broccoli, and yogurt + strawberries from the kid's meal.

Yakima is surprisingly home to some of the BEST Mexican food on this side of the border. I love ordering chicken mole with no lechuga (lettuce) and devouring their chips and salsa.

Families love eating here because of the zen-like atmosphere and phenomenal sushi. My family loves ordering their Avocado rolls and California rolls. It is a special treat to eat in the pit (I call it the pit but it's not an actual pit).
