We have always enjoyed eating here for breakfast, even with the steep prices, the food has always been good. The service has been lacking though lately. They have forgotten things and we have had to ask for items several times. We will continue to come here just probably not as often.

This is seriously my favorite breakfast spot of all time every time I drive through I get the cherries kajafa crêpes. And…the service is amazing every single time. Shout out to Wendy & Elizabeth at Kennewick. You two are 🔥awesome 😌

April 2026

Corned beef said it was homemade in house. It was $20+ for this dish. Look and tasted like it came out of a can. The portion size and quality of this food was a $15 dish at best. Not good in my opinion. I like OPH in general. Overall the food is pretty good, but not the hash.
