Effin Egg Yakima - Yakima, Washington

Genevieve P. L.

We live in Tacoma and often come to Yakima and don’t know where to eat. We found this place online. Walked in to a clean restaurant which is important to me. The gentleman who I believe is the owner who sits at the register is so very nice and welcoming. It’s Sunday and I can hear him talking to his staff saying “thank you for coming in today”…. I would definitely come back. This is the place to eat. They also have alternatives to pork. Turkey Sausage and Bacon which is really important to us. The owner is very patient with his staff and makes it easy for them to understand orders that come in. I love it here!!! If your wondering who I am, the the woman who exchanged my coffee for an energy drink. lol thank you for feeding us today as we’re on our way back to Tacoma.

Our first visit to Effin Egg and it was Effin delicious! We ordered the old skool biscuit & brisket totchos and OH MY! The totchos were loaded, the meat was wonderfully seasoned. The briscuit was tender it fell apart. Don’t let that deter you from ordering though. As we were entering someone was exiting and I asked how the food was and they said DELICIOUS. And when we sat there was another couple and they also said what they had ordered was good too.

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.

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 Egg-cellent”.

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 breakfast sandwich.

We went to order from this establishment. We ordered a burrito, brisket tacos, and rainbow pancakes. The burrito was ok but would have been better if they gave you the salsa it claimed it came with. The tacos had "pico" and avocado sauce.... It literally had 1-2 pieces of tomato a couple onions and that was it the avocado sauce was a few drops. The rainbow pancakes said they had cream cheese topping and it had nothing but a few sprinkles. To top it off my man went to order while I stayed in the car with the kid and they did not give us a receipt or ask for our loyalty number. What makes this the worst experience is they have NO way to contact this establishment to make it right. No phone number no email I even tried downloading the app to see if it would have a contract us and it does not.. so would highly recommend if you go here to have breakfast or lunch. Triple check your order for accuracy before leaving this location. Wish I would have taken a photo of the tacos but only took one of the overpriced pancakes.

My family has visited here twice since they have been opened. The first time was the opening week in which their new team was definitely working out some of the inevitable kinks of opening a restaurant, but none the less it was delicious. We ordered a burrito and was pleasantly surprised with how large they were! We visited again today and waited no more than ten minutes for our food. Ordered some tacos and the Han Solo burger as well as their curly fries. (Pictured) The staff was all very friendly and professional. Excellent to have a great breakfast sandwich shop in Yakima!

Yakima needs more places like Effin Egg! I have to disagree with the harsh reviews (which appear to be from people who mostly post negative reviews).......The food is great! I highly recommend The OG, The CEO, or the spicy brisket. It's way better than what you would get from any of the fast food chains, but not nearly as expensive as a lot of the sit-down breakfast restaurants. The sandwiches and burritos are a solid portion and will fill you up! Value is definitely there for what you get.

One of the things I appreciate about Effin Egg is that they hire a lot of high school kids and teach them customer service. Great stuff!

Give it a try and you won't be disappointed! This is one of the best breakfasts in Yakima!

When I initially went here like 7 months ago I gave this place 5 stars. I now have to drop down to a 1. Here are a few reasons. The efin F U burrito was smaller and super greasy. I watched the cook take money, go in the cashier drawer and then go to take bacon out with the same gloves. Apparently there only allowed a couple pair of gloves a day. They were out of avocado creme, and queso on a Sunday morning. Come on now ! I also here from a couple old workers that the owner just sits around watching cameras and yelling at the staff all day. The turnover rate of employees is way above the norm. I used to go here once a week, now I'm done. I'm not getting sick for poor health practice or giving my money to a employer who treats his staff so badly. I thought he was a nice guy, but not anymore!!
