I had the gluten-free waffle it was perfect soft and a little bit crunchy and they did not skimp on the raspberries on top. Berries spread was not fully of sugar and the berries tasted so fresh!
Veggies on the omelette my hubby ate were a little crunchy & very fresh tasting.
Biscuits & gravy was definitely homemade and tasted like a lot of love went into the recipe.
Service was incredible, all the staff were very nice and accommodating they left my decaf coffee topped off. The most efficient run restaurant we’ve seen in a long time.
BTW we are from out of town and this was our first time in this Cafe.
If I could rate this place 🤢🤢🤢, I would.
Ordered the sole fish and chips, and a beer. The dinner salad and beer only came after about 12 minutes despite the restaurant being nearly empty. I assume the waiter forgot. When my food came just a few minutes later, the waiter attempted to blame it on the cook despite my not saying anything about it... right.
Salad tasted like it was sourced from the same lettuce supplier as McDonald's. The sole fish and chips was easily in the top three worst fish and chips I've had, and I've had a lot. The fish was sad and frozen, the breading on the sole lacked flavor and whatever flavor it had was bizarre: appeared to have mustard seeds on it(???). I assume from the menu's description it was gluten free, but could never ask the absentee waiter what kind of breading it was (or why it tasted so awful). It's hard to screw up fries, but Powerhouse accomplished just that.
When the slop, I mean meal, came, I asked for cocktail sauce, and the waiter assured me it was on its way. Little did I know that would be the last I would see of my waiter.
The cocktail sauce never came, the waiter never came to check up on me once after dropping the slop off, didn't refill my water after getting my food, and I had to go up to the front counter to pay as she apparently got completely distracted by one of the other tables at this nearly empty restaurant. (Two waiters on staff, at most five parties were seated in the whole restaurant.)
Paid at the front counter where I had to debate with the hostess who tried to charge me over $80 for this nearly inedible meal. While all this happened, a woman who I assume was the manager or owner just chit chatted with the hostesses, who were just standing there idly the entire time I was there, while the waiter completely failed at her job. (My table faced the front counter / hostess stand.)
Powerhouse Grill, never again, not even once. Yakima is a small, geographically isolated town with a captive audience and this restaurant certainly takes advantage of that.
To summarize: Felt like I was one of the patrons in an episode of Restaurant Impossible. Ugh.
Had a group of 13 on a Sunday evening and the service was good, fast, there was no wait for our reservation, got here at 6 PM and paid and got out at 7:30 PM. 90% of this group had never been to this establishment because of how expensive it is but here is an overview of our experience and individual notes for entrees and sides below -
Presentation of Food 5/5
Atmosphere 5/5
Overall Service 4/5
Overall Food for Group 4/5
Service: the waitress was nice and did a great job. Only reason why not 5/5 is she messed up the salad order for a gluten intolerant customer (croutons on it) but fixed it upon asking and we just had to keep asking for water.
1. Lobster 4/5
& Baked Potato 3/5
Lobster was too salty and wasn’t very enjoyable because of it. Wished there was more cheese and bacon on baked potato, it was mainly packed with sour cream.
2. Mushroom Burger 3/5
Underwhelmed. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t worth $20 There was not much flavor but it was cooked well (In-N-Out is better) very filling.
3. New York Steak 5/5
& Mac N Cheese 3/3
It was perfect, it was great. Cooked medium rare it was juicy and moist. Mac N Cheese wasn’t anything special, there are other places with better tasting Mac N Cheese.
4. Three Cheese Pasta with Grilled Chicken 5/5
It was good.
5. Chorizo Burger 5/5
Great! The jalapeño is spicy though
6. Steak Salad 5/5/
Steak was really tough but salad was good.
“ Steak chewier than uncooked boba”
7. Lamb 5/5
It was REALLY good (shared by two people)
9. Bacon Cheeseburger 5/5
This person loves this burger even better than Cowiche Canyon (the mushroom burger person didn’t agree with this statement)
10. Birthday Brownie with Ice Cream 5/5
I've received service both inside and at the drive through and have had such good service it doesn't feel like your typical fast food joint.
Today by my mistake I went home with an extra medium fry because I failed to see them in the large neatly packed bag.
Though they were sure they accurately packed it the staff were so accommodating before I relayed that I found the missing fry after all.
Side note for you gluten friendly GF folks, the chili is amazing and they cook their fries in a separate fryer from the breaded items at this location.
I hope that these folks get the kindness they put out, both day and night shift inside or drive thru. They deserve it. They must have a great manager bc staff are on it and very kind and accommodating. 5 stars in my book 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
My husband loved their fish and chips. They did not have anything for me since I am gluten and soy intolerant. Would have given them 5 stars if I could have had lunch.
Celiac friendly
