Yonder Brunch & Vibes Youngstown

I am just going to preface this review by saying I am actively in the industry and have worked in numerous brunch places. I wouldn’t even be writing this review if this place was BUSY for the holiday. However, there were only three tables in the entire restaurant. It took about 10 minutes for anyone to even give us a glass of water. Next was the drinks. Respectfully if i am paying $14.50 for a cocktail, I feel like i shouldn’t have to pour my own liquor in. I am a bartender on my day off I shouldn’t be expected to pour a mini bottle of rum into my drink. One positive I will mention is the smashed potatoes, those were really good! However, for a $2 up charge for chocolate chip pancakes I would expect more than 6 chocolate chips that may have been smashed between the pancakes and melted. The

You can definitely tell this place doesn’t have much of a staff, so be prepared to wait an hour or even two depending on the day. It’s a small operation, and things move sloooow. That said, the food? SO. GOOD. Like, genuinely worth the wait kind of good. You can taste the care in every bite. I just wish they had more help in the kitchen or front of house because the experience would be top-tier if the service matched the quality of the food. If you’re not in a rush and want something that feels home-cooked with love, it’s worth checking out. The menu is creatively fun, and the teas are so yummy.

Best brunch spot in the whole city!!!! And I hate to say that (selfishly) because I don't want it to get super busy! Lol But honestly the food was really good and their brunch drink menu was good too. They were pretty busy so there was a wait of about a half hour but it was so worth it! We will definitely be back..... maybe even this coming weekend

Let me just say the food is Amazing and our Waitress was Amazing but the wait time wasn’t. I know for good, freshly prepared food (not frozen or processed) takes time to prepare but we waited at least 50 minutes for a Yonder Bowl & Breakfast Sammie. So if you go in prepared for the wait, it’s a wonderful little Restaurant but if you go in for a quick bite on your 30 minute or hour lunch break, it’s not gonna work.

Yonder Brunch and Vibes is my favorite place to eat and catch a vibe. I always have a great experience from the food to the service, sometimes I go solo or bring along friends and family to share the experience. My go to is the breakfast classic, it’s always cooked to perfection and their pineapple lemonade. Today I also tried their fried chicken, they were fried just right golden and packed with flavor.
