About Us

YaYa's Euro Bistro is more than just delicious food and friendly staff. As part of PB&J Restaurants Inc., YaYa's focuses on service, food quality, and price in order to fulfill the claims of the PB&J mission: "To provide a comfortable dining experience that consistently exceeds the expectations of a guest who demands only the best from a casual dining experience and to build a restaurant company that is profitable and attractive to the investment community." 

YaYa's Euro Bistro is a unique restaurant concept created by Paul Khoury and Bill Crooks, co-founders of PB&J. The restaurant is named for Paul Khoury's own Yaya, which means grandmother, who was the wife of an ambassador and traveled in many European countries gathering ideas for her own special recipes.

The YaYa's "experience" is both sophisticated and fun. Upon entering, you immediately notice the mosaic tile floors, stone columns, and fabric-covered wall panels, all of which are complemented by heavy-beamed ceilings, hand-blown chandeliers, and curvy wrought-iron railings. Then, the aroma of innovative dishes, inspired by a combination of American, French, Italian, and Greek cuisines, heightens your appetite. Every selection is prepared from scratch by our highly-skilled Executive Chef Bonner Cameron with only the freshest natural products.

From the moment you are greeted at the door, our highly-trained staff ensures that your visit will be memorable. Each member of the YaYa's staff is trained to understand that the distinction between a PB&J Restaurant and its competitor is its commitment to quality service--service that exceeds even the highest expectations of any guest.

Isn't it time you experienced YaYa's for yourself?
