Effin Egg Yakima — Restaurant in Yakima

update

I hate to knock scores down like this but I feel there are some issues here that need to be addressed. One: Met the owner who casually said yeah there’s no phone number you can call which as a business is a big red flag for me. He seemed more interested in updating the web app than getting a business phone number. Additionally today we have straight burnt pancakes that I refuse to serve my son and won’t eat myself and our tacos and burrito were dry. There seems to be an issue with consistency of standards which would explain the mixed reviews. We still love some of the items we get here and will maybe continue eating here, but I want to see more consistency in quality and a phone number before I restore my original 5* review. Also our portion of dirty papas was skimpy today which is our favorite thing. —end update—

I had heard mixed reviews and food I had seen to go seemed small, but when I took my family in today it was a great experience with all the right surprises.

Gil was our customer service today, and gold star for him.

The food was terrific and toddler approved. The price was good for the food, and they have a great variety to choose from. Plus many specials and discounts daily for teachers/military/police/medical workers are included. That Effin brisket breakfast burrito was one of if not the best breakfast burrito I have had in a long time in Yakima.

If I had to get nitpicky, I am sad that the teacher/vet/police/medical worker discounts can’t be applied along with the daily discount, but that there is an option is nice in the first place. Plus their shirts and hoodies are a bit pricey but I still want one of each.

I will be back. Often. To quote the wife “They were Effin...

The wait should discourage you. My boyfriend and I came in here on September 16th, the “Grand Opening” day. We arrived at 8:30 with high hopes of a good breakfast and both ordered a burrito. We were not greeted upon entering the door, nor were any of the customers behind us. We got the brisket burrito and mama’s burrito. It was rather busy already, with all of the seating occupied inside, and outside. We stayed inside while waiting for our food, and I watched the employees and manager. The employees seemed to be scooting along, even though our wait turned to be an hour long. But their spirits were okay, and they were communicating between themselves. But the manager seemed very down-beat and grumpy. He did a lot of ordering the employees around, or telling them how they should do it instead. But not a lot of moral boosting or keeping spirits up. There was no music in the store the entire time we were there, and the atmosphere was very tense. Costumers were impatient on waiting for their orders, or complaining on their way out after waiting for an hour before receiving their food. The employees as a whole, running the kitchen were very kind amongst each other and very apologetic to the customers that were there waiting for their orders.

After our wait, we decided to dig in and the food was subpar and underwhelming. It was not worth what we spent, and how long we waited. Take heed when I say there will be long waits for your food, and most menu items will not...

Second time eating here to "give it another try" and I'm sorry to say but this place is disappointing. Not sure why someone would make their biscuits with margin, but it doesn't taste good. I know that's just my opinion since I rather use real butter on all my stuff and not oil spread. Secondly, if a pregnant woman comes in and says to make sure the egg is cooked fully you should cook it fully. This is literally the second time I bit into one of their sandwiches with a cold runny egg. Might want to educate your staff on how to listen to people. Thirdly, when you make a breakfast sandwich no one wants to pick it up and the whole thing crumble and fall apart. It's a sandwich so you can hold it in your hand and eat it on the go, not have to get utensils to finish it. The staff seems as if they don't want to be there. If you have any sort of restaurant you need to make sure you hire friendly people or else you're just setting yourself up for failure. My overall opinion of the place is not satisfying by any means and a waste of money. I will be sticking with my mocha tree and Java heaven breakfast sandwiches since I always can rely on them to make a good...
