15 Burgers in Yakima That Are Almost Too Extraordinary to Eat

Inspired by our friends in New York who created a funky photo gallery of their favorite burgers, I decided to create my own list just for Yakima locals and visitors.

This one is for all of the foodies like me who sometimes find themselves craving a good burger. With all the choices available in Yakima, from fast food joints and dive bar-esque mom-and-pop shops, to upscale restaurants and quick-bite eateries, we've got you covered for burgers that are so cool, you might even call them extraordinary!

Unique and Weird Yakima Burgers on the Menu

You'll find Yakima's most clever burgers at these restaurants.

Miner's

2415 S 1st St

Ranch Taco Burger: The menu doesn't say what comes on it, but the name alone is making my mouth water just from the sounds of it.

Major's

1705 W Lincoln Ave

American Dip Burger (The menu says it comes with a 1/3 lb Patty w/ Swiss Cheese on French Roll served with side of Au Jus.)

WaterFire

4000 Creekside Loop

WaterFire French Dip Burger: I can't say I've ever tried a French Dip burger because sadly, I don't like Au jus.

Cowiche Canyon Kitchen

202 E Yakima Ave

International Harvester Burger: This is my favorite thing to eat on the menu! I love how it comes with crispy fried onion straws and skinny rosemary garlic fries (or a salad as a substitute for the fries).

Famous Burger

401 W Lincoln Ave

Bonsai Burger: Just make sure you don't stop by in July because they will be closed the whole month for vacation. The Famous Bonsai Burger comes with ham, bacon, Swiss cheese, avocado, pineapple, and grilled onions.

Bob's Burgers & Brew

121 N Fair Ave

Smokey Bayou Burger: They had me at "Cajun-seasoned patty with chipotle mayo and Applewood-smoked blue cheese crumbles."

McGuire's Irish Restaurant & Pub

807 W Tieton Dr

Burger Dip Burger: The "Horsey Sauce" that comes on this burger makes it extraordinary.

Stop & Go

Student Driver Burger. They will tell you what's on it at the drive-thru!

Bill's Place

206 S 3rd Ave

The Gourmand Burger: Named after the owner, this double-patty burger comes with an extraordinary bourbon bacon jam that's made in the house and a balsamic reduction sauce. Ooh, la la, fancy.

Lariat Bar-B-Q

Main Stop on the Ave

32 N Front St #102

Chief Burger: If you like fried eggs on your burger, this one's the thing to get. It comes with "grilled onion, ham, jalapeño, 2 slices of bacon, cheese, and 1 over-medium egg.

Ron's Tacos & Burgers

W Lincoln Ave and South 16th Ave

Double Bacon Cheeseburger and Ham: This is the other old-school burger stand left in Yakima. They are known for their huge ice cream cones, so why not try a huge burger to match. Might as well! (Note: They don't have a website.)

Second Street Grill

Farmer Burger: Havarti cheese lovers will dig this clever burger that also comes with "prosciutto, bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato and garlic aioli on a ciabatta bun."

Chorizo Burger: This burger tastes like Yakima: "Ground chorizo blend, grilled poblano pepper, cotija cheese, red onion, sliced tomato, sriracha mayo, and grilled jalapeno on the side."
