Yella's cafe

Yella's

More than 90 years ago, "Yella" was known for yelling to get people onto the dance floor in the 1930s and 1940s. He also dreamed of creating a place that served mouthwatering sandwiches and the greatest burgers around. The Great Depression kept him from realizing this dream, but his grandchildren later revived it and created Yella’s.

Today, Yella’s serves fresh, high-quality American fare in a fun, casual atmosphere with delicious “food worth screaming about!”
