Meet the People Behind YAKS on the 5: Staff, Culture & Vibe

What makes YAKS on the 5 more than just great food? Many customers highlight the friendly, engaging staff as part of the experience. Yelp users say “very friendly service,” “staff are personable,” and “everyone is greeted warmly”.

  • Order with a nickname: You pick a slip of paper from a bucket to use as your order “name”—it’s called out later, adding fun interaction and personal flair.

  • Bohemian and artsy interior, with bright red exteriors, wall art, and a confident quirky design that reflects Dunsmuir’s outdoor‑adventure spirit.

  • Pet-friendly patio seating shaded by trees in the back, ideal for diners with dogs or groups looking to relax outdoors.

Tie in profiles or quotes from actual staff (e.g. the person calling orders, the grill chef) for authenticity. Photos of “Mr. Sizzle” tags or behind‑the‑counter action help reinforce the human side of YAKS.
