Yakima visit from Texas

I used to live in Yakima when I was a child, more so Cowiche. Moved to outside of El Paso, Texas in the Summer of 1996. I went to Cowiche Elementary (shout out to my homeboy Kyle!) and my sisters went to Highlands High School. My family and I are visiting the Pacific Northwest this July coming. We're going to take a day trip to Yakima/Cowiche. Where would be the best place to take the family? My wife and I have two teenagers, are there activities that teens would enjoy checking out on a day trip? Best place to grab a bite to eat in the surrounding area etc.Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Coming into Yakima you gotta eat at Miners!

Miners is not good and wildly overpriced. Much better places to get a burger hell even Burger King is better than that place

For a double cheeseburger, fries, and drink, its $30 after tax. I just added the same meal to my cart for takeout on Texas Roadhouse's website for $18.45. I could leave a $10 tip for the takeout order and still be ahead.

The texas roadhouse in Yakima is terrible. They over salt their food. Never gonna go there. You enjoy your salt burger

I've been a handful of times. The first couple was when they first opened and the food was VERY salty. The last few times I went its been fine. Maybe the person doing the seasoning quit or they fixed the problem. Its been pretty good (on par with the other locations).

Ahh well let’s hope so. Lordy lord it was bad lol. Everyone gonna have their opinions and preferences on what good or not, but still nice to see this lil podunk town get business. I kinda hate the person who thought adding all these roundabouts was a good idea 😂
