My family and I made a trip to Yakima and stayed in downtown. After checking Yelp, we stumbled upon Main Stop on the Ave within a mile of our hotel. This place was near a jail but don't let that scare you. The area looked historic and the building was an old train station converted into a restaurant on one side and a coffee shop on the other. Inside was super cool and had good vibes. My daughter loved the look and I loved the big windows in the dining area where we were sitting. Food was great! I sampled almost every dish my family got lol. And I tried Chilaquiles for the first time. Loved it. I have made something similar at home but not quite the same with the red sauce. It was super tasty. I wonder what it would taste like with chorizo added into the mix? I thought the overall flavor was a little mild and I think a little spice would've stepped it up a notch for me. My daughter had the sweet crepes with cream cheese filling and strawberries. She practically liked her plate. She did say it was a little too much sweetness for her but getting a side of bacon helped break it up. Once she started moving from salty bacon to sweet crepe bites, she loved it. My hubby and one kiddo had the Main Stop omelette. My kiddo said his omelette was super good and it had the right amount of jalapeño. It too spicy and just the right flavor added. My youngest had the French Toast Platter and I snuck a bite! That French toast was fluffy and so good! If I wasn't already full I would've ate more of his too! He is a little picky about his hash browns but said these ones were great. Crispy and hot. (He was scooping them into his mouth like his life depended on getting every shredded piece of potato) So glad we did a little search and found this spot. My kids wanted to go to Denny's because it's familiar. So glad I didn't give them the choice!

Great service, cool building. We enjoyed the food. French toast was just right not too thick and crispy at the edges. Benedict was cooked perfectly. Portions were big! Good deal for the price.

Country Fried Steak w/ Cheesy Hashbrowns (9/10): This was a really good fried steak and the country gravy was extremely flavorful. I'd recommend for any CFS lovers Country Burrito (9/10): Burrito was awesome! The sausage gravy on the outside with a CFS and hashbrowns inside was insane! Egg Benny (7/10): The Benny was okay/solid. Didn't blow me away and the sauce could have had more flavor Overall (8/10: Staff was pleasant and the food was really good! Saw good reviews and I'd say it lived up to the reviews. Food presentation was great as well. They are connected to a coffee shop that makes some good drinks as well!

Fun place to go for breakfast! Located inside a former train station it has kept its old school charm. They do American food with a "Mexican twist" so I decided to try the CHURRO WAFFLES. Had high hopes for the dish but unfortunately I didn't like it! It took them a good 30 minutes to prepare them (restaurant was NOT busy) and when they came out I understood why. They took a waffle, the heavily DEEP FRIED it and then did a HEAVY coating of sugar and some cinnamon. It was just too much. You basically had a churro instead of transforming a waffle into something cool. I would skip the deep frying step. A crispy waffle is enough and then LIGHTY dust it with sugar/cinnamon. Despite not liking my dish I still have them 4 stars because I liked the creative effort and would like to come back and try something else.

The food is amazing! They truly care about the presentation of their dishes along with flavor. Portion is generous too. The ambiance is kind of weird & quirky. First of all, it took awhile for us to get noticed to be seated even though they weren't busy. They originally sat us in a dark area by the entrance and we asked to be located in the main dining with much more natural lighting. The first server who sat us was very rude & ignored us. The second server was a darling and soo friendly! I made sure our tip went directly to her. Overall, she made our visit pleasant and we enjoyed the food. Highly recommend for food alone!
