These Legendary ‘Daddy’ Yakima Restaurants Would Be Perfect for Fathers Day Eats

This year, Father's Day lands on Sunday, June 15th. If you're going to treat your father or grandfather to a Father's Day meal, have you already decided where you and the family are taking him (or them)? If not, I've got your hookup.

Father's Day 2025: What's on the Menu for the Dad in Your Life?

There are three legendary restaurants I would recommend right off the bat. Two of them even have the "daddy" built in the name! The other is just "legendary" and in a category on its own.

Restaurant #1: The Father's Day Buffet at Legends Casino

580 Fort Rd, Toppenish

On the buffet menu: prime rib, strip loin, oysters, ribs, pork chops, Nashville Hot chicken tenders, Cajun shrimp mac & cheese, crab, and a crêpe station!

Restaurant #2: "PAPA" Baird's

4108 Terrace Heights Dr, Yakima

NOTE: They are only open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the week and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
