20 Family Friendly Yakima Restaurants You Can Go to on the Weekends

Are you a parent looking for a family friendly restaurant you can go with the kids in tow on weekend nights in Yakima? You need a place where toddlers and preschoolers are welcomed and a place that has high chairs for the babies.

We have a list of the best places to eat in Yakima with the kids, including a handful that are considered to be upscale family friendly restaurants.

Know Before You Go

Yakima loves to go out to eat in big groups on the weekends. Friday nights aren't just for couples on dates, you've got large groups of friends who are getting together to celebrate the end of the work week plus groups of people in town for conventions, work summits, and trainings.

Not every restaurant is going to be a place to take the kids with you for dinner on weekend nights in Yakima.

One thing I will caution you about is that finding the right dine-in restaurant with kids can be tough on the weekends unless you plan ahead.

Plan to eat early in the evening or see if you can make group reservations. Otherwise, you'll be showing up to a restaurant and become dismayed when they tell you there's a long wait time for a table. You could end up waiting up to an hour in some busy restaurants!
