This was a perfect post-Yosemite dinner. We sat at the bar and enjoyed it so much we dined here two nights in a row. I believe it was Dave who served us and he was wonderful. Really attentive and overall great customer service. I ordered the Pickle Rick beer and loved it so much I ordered two tall cans to go so I can have it when I return home. We also ordered the buffalo wings with the IPA got sauce and a burger. I came back for the pickle Rick beer I wish they had this in LA!!

We tried every single beer and not one of them disappointed. The pecan pie brown beer and the pale ale stood out for us. We came every night after hiking around Yosemite. Rare to find a place with amazing beer AND food. Everything we tried was delicious. On top of that, great waiters. We’ll for sure make a trip back.

Ordered burgers, one smash and the other regular, both were pretty good, but not memorable. The fries were very good and the sweet potato fries were down right awesome. Where the burgers lacked notoriety, the service made up for it. The outdoor patio was excellent and dog friendly. Overall a positive experience. If we did not have our dog, I might find another place to try.

The food here was really good!!! Plenty of beers and beverages to choose from too. Service was friendly and attentive. We stopped here on the way to check into our Airbnb and would definitely come back if we were in the area again. Cute patio space with games, conveniently located right off the highway.

Had a chance to visit South Gate Brewing Company on our last day of a Yosemite trip. I'm so glad we did. They have a large selection of beer made in the facility and the food was amazing. The brussel sprouts were out of this world. The Mountaineer pizza is amazing with a perfect crust. The fish and chips is excellent with perfect fries. I highly recommend any of these dishes.

Great eatery for locals and tourists alike. Classic pub food, inviting atmosphere, and friendly service. There's a varied menu with something for most tastes, and plenty of wine and tap beer options. Happy Hour is from 2-5pm M-F, and there's also a 1/2-off Wine Wednesday on glasses and bottles.

We went twice during our Yosemite vacation due to the close proximity of our lodging. The prices were typical for California. Great food (seriously the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had), good beer and super nice staff. I left my credit card on our second visit and the staff were on it to keep it safe until I got back.

really great place to visit if u wanted to see more about places 100+ years. i like how the staff of this museum were friendly, they explained everything in detail and if there were questions, they answered them. I also liked the fact that many things were preserved in good condition.

Would recommend stopping by. It's a quick stop and very informative about the history of Fresno Flats/Oakhurst. We showed up after hours, but the caretaker was there and had no problem showing us around. Really enjoyed, would stop by again if I'm near by again

IT IS VERY COOL THAT ALL THESE HISTORIC BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN RELOCATED IN ONE LOCATION TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF THIS AREA... WE LOVED THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM THAT TELLS THE HISTORY OF EACH BUILDING...

A cool little historical park in Oakhurst with a fee historical buildings and artifacts.

Fresno Flats is a little sentimental to me personally as my grandfather was born and raised here, as was I, and to be able to see and learn and just be able to admire the history is amazing. The place is very well maintained, and full of life. I got to partake in a family friend's family reunion, and what a blast and great place for such an event. Everyone enjoyed themselves from grandparents to young children playing tag in the roomy center. The building used to set up food was wonderful, kitchen access, and air conditioning was great in 103' weather. Really enjoyed ourselves, will definitely be back for the next family event.

Fantastic tour! Our guide Mike was nice and professional. He was very thorough and took time to share valuable historical insights. We bought his impressive vintage cards which were well done! Great job and thanks again guys. Highly recommended!

I like this kind of places. It shows us a little bit of the history. Unfortunately we didn’t have chance to see buildings from inside. But we saw the main museum and the historical village itself. Great atmosphere. The volunteer who was guide as was very invested in the history of the town. Great place. Mostly recommend!!!

Traveling through Oakhurst, we stopped to have a little lunch on a Saturday, and it was absolutely delightful. We had a wine tasting, a couple of sandwiches with phenomenal salads, and we would definitely be back again. The service was super pleasant, and it's pet friendly.

It was such a wonderful and happy time. It was our first trip to the West Coast with my parents, and after long, tiring days of driving, this experience made it all worthwhile. Every dish was prepared with such care, and the excellent wine and outstanding service made it truly unforgettable. Thank you for giving us such a memorable experienc

What a wonderful little hole in the wall spot. The outside is unassuming, but the inside is absolutely adorable with string lights, chill music, and great vibes. Both wine and dinner were absolutely divine and you can tell the food is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. Such a treat! This place is truly a gem- my boyfriend and I both enjoyed our evening here. I am so happy to have stumbled upon it on our one night in the area. Highly recommend :)

This is an absolute must visit, the winery to the food. We had the best experience! We love you guys Teri

This place is truly a hidden gem in the mountains. We had a delicious and wonderful dinner here with a really great staff and wine! I believe Jamie was the waitress we had and they were extremely helpful and friendly. The wine was great, a lot of grape varietals I enjoy that they made into blends which was refreshing to try. We had a few shareables, all really yummy and then the ribeye as our main meal, also great. We then shared the special dessert, a fresh apple pie—so good!! They also have some house cats on the property that were very friendly and made the place feel more homely. Wish we had come earlier to do a tasting but highly suggest coming for dinner, fresh and delicious!!

Delicious, amazing, definitely go if you are anywhere close! We were staying at the Queen’s Inn and I’m so glad we choose to have dinner here. Service was great in addition to the food. Price seemed very reasonable, we paid just over $100 for appetizer, 2 entrees & a bottle of wine. Most of the seating is outside in a cute shaded patio.

I wish I could rate Idle Hour higher than just 5 stars because they are just that exceptional!! My wife and I chose to host our dinner reception for our elopement on the patio and we couldn’t have made a better choice. Jen was amazing to work with throughout the planning process and took the time to talk with us as we planned everything from Texas. She executed our vision perfectly and even provided linens for the tables and flowers that fit into our color scheme. She personally cut and served our wedding cake to our guests and provided a speaker so we could have music while we dined. That was just the service. The FOOD was the star of the show!! Everyone raved about how amazing everything tasted. We had a grazing table set up for cocktail hour, then garden and Caesar salads, focaccia bread with butter and olives, then freshly grilled chicken, ribeye, and shrimp accompanied by asparagus, house made chimichurri, and smoked romesco for dinner. I cannot stress enough just how delectable all of it was. No one left hungry and I can also say that the leftovers were amazing as well!! We even went back a few days later to purchase a bottle of wine to save for our anniversary. Whether you are in town visiting or looking for a lovely spot to host a private dinner, Idle Hour is a must!

As a local theatre with a long history, this group is amazing.....and professional and GCT eraned the award for Best Live Theatre in the central valley! If you are looking for great live theatre, this is the place. If you are looking to hone your craft on stage, this is also the place!! Come check it out!!

Always a fun time. Great cast, costumes and set! Fun choreography and music. Spontaneous audience interaction makes it even better!

Love coming up to see plays here! The kids (and adults) do a great job in their roles. There is a lot of talent here! Everyone does such a great job making it enjoyable. You're greeted like everyone's been waiting to see you, which is always a lovely touch. View from any seat is usually pretty solid. Tickets arent expensive at all. Great options for snacks and drinks, too!

The Golden Chain Theater, never fails to disappoint It strikes that rare, perfect balance of being incredibly friendly and welcoming while maintaining a high level of professionalism in their production quality. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting—it truly feels like a community hub. The staff and volunteers are eager to help, and the vibe is just so unpretentious and fun. But don't let the cozy, small-town feel fool you; the talent here is top-notch. Now, I'm not some big theater expert—I've only really seen Wicked, A Christmas Carol and Shrek before—but the music here was fantastic! You can tell they put a massive amount of work into their rehearsals. The live vocals and the band were genuinely impressive. What I loved most, however, was the cast itself. It’s wonderful to see such a diverse group of community members on stage. It feels like a theater that genuinely welcomes everyone, regardless of background or age, and that inclusivity really shines through in their performances. You can feel the camaraderie among the cast, and it makes the show that much more enjoyable to watch. If you are in the Oakhurst area, do yourself a favor and catch a show here. Whether you're a local or just passing through for Yosemite, it’s a must-visit! PS: This is across from a place called The Snowline... Dress accordingly!! it gets chilly but it added to the vibes for our early showing we had to "The Little Town Christmas" running: November 21st-December 21st 2025 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹

I've definitely, over the last few years, become a huge supporter of our local theater. Such talent in this community!!! I will happily go back and support them at least three to four times per year. It's become a very therapeutic getaway for sure. Mandatory on your bucket list!!

Just watched Lil" Abner on 7-6-2025 with my wife we and loved it . Great cast of adults, teens and kids and very well done. Keep this theatre going in Oakhurst as it is vital to the area. Once it's gone it's gone.....

This is a hard review for me to write. I say this because, I absolutely love this small town theater concept. The theater is absolutely darling. Charming antique furniture and accessories line the hallway entrance. The theater itself, reminds me of a renovated barn. The stage is really big as well. Seldom do theaters at this level, have such a tremendous area to work with. They did a great job with prop design and the actors... the actors were incredible! Such talent! The food, which was catered by a local cafe, was flavorful and rich. All of these things make it difficult for me to be critical in any way, but...... the theater was cold. Most people needed to wear their jackets by the time dinner arrived. We arrived at 615, doors open at 6, the appetizers were completely gone. It would have been nice to bring them out periodically on trays. There was one hot tray being walked around but by the time it got to us, there were only 3 apps left. The drinks from the bar seemed to be a concoction of whatever was available at that time. I could have dealt with all of these things if it were not for the one big thing that happened that I absolutely cant ignore. When I made my reservations, I selected seats side by side with my hubby. We don't get a lot of alone time together and this seemed like it was going to be a great night for us. And we knew there would be others at our table but we would have at least been able to focus on us, if we were side by side.When we were seated though, they had changed our seating. We were seated across from each other between two other couples. We couldn't hear each other talk, and, honestly, I really wasn't interested in hearing the other couples conversations. I am a bit more tolerable but, this was the end all for my hubby. We looked forward to this night. We didnt say anything because the other couples were used as a part of the show. It is something that should have been considered before changing up seating without permission from paying guests. That was disappointing. I am torn by whether we will be back. As much as I love certain things, the last issue I spoke of, may be the deal breaker. We drove an hour to come to this and l left with a very irritated hubby that I spent the rest of the evening apologizing to, for thinking this was going to be a great night for just the two of us to enjoy.

(You can mix the flavors into a cone or shake and they have a selection of ice cream) We loved the milkshakes! And the place is cute with friendly staff. [I don't know if you can tell but their candy apples are HUGE too]

The moment I stepped into the store, I was hit by an intoxicatingly sweet aroma, the kind that pulls you straight into a nostalgic sugar high. Then came the visuals: shelves bursting with candy, including some old-school gems I haven’t seen in over a decade. Chocolate, gummies, the works, it’s a confectionery time capsule. We came specifically for the ice cream, thanks to the hype. Was it the best I’ve ever had? Not quite. But it wasn’t bad either, just didn’t live up to the fanfare for me. Would I go out of my way to come back? Probably not. But if it’s your first visit, I’d say it’s worth experiencing once, if only to be swept up in the sweet chaos.

Great homemade ice cream flavors! I savored the Sierra wild blackberry and honey lavender ice cream in a homemade waffle cone 😋. Although out of the way, definitely worth the drive from the Valley.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ICE CREAM! The candy looked great . Servings aren't super big. Resort prices. Great variety. I wish we had found it sooner in Oahhurst because it was difficult choosing from the favorites. They have delicious Gelato flavors too. Two friends had ooey-gooey (sp) and couldn't stop talking about it! I had banana walnut and dark chocolate chip Gelato. The strawberry 🍓 had chunks af real strawberries. They had some neat souvenirs as well. I purchased a baby Giant Sequoia tree! Guess we will see if the Carolinas can grow a giant!

We stopped here for a treat after a long day of hiking in Yosemite. Each of our family of 4 got 2 scoops on a cone: 1 sugar cone, 1 cake cone and 2 waffle cones. The waffle cones are an extra $1 but with it if you like waffle cones. They are made in-house and you can smell them when you walk in. They let you try samples and have a good variety of flavors. The ice cream was good, but not amazing. Maybe if depends on the flavor you get. The girls were very friendly and sweet. Cute spot to stop by and it’s nice to support local.

My husband and I always enjoy the Reimer’s in Three Rivers on our way to and from the Sequoia National Park. This last trip to CA, we went up to Yosemite and were so excited to see a Reimer’s in Oakhurst! We stopped in the gift shop on our way out of town, loved looking around the shop, and had an amazing conversation with Jamal, who was such a beautiful soul to talk to. It was definitely encouraging seeing staff is so welcoming across locations and visits to the different store fronts, and I can’t wait to go back during our next trip out!

After a long day of hiking in Yosemite, I was seriously craving some ice cream as a reward — and we stumbled upon Reimer’s Candies & Gifts on our drive back to the hotel. What a gem! It looked like they were open an hour past closing, and I was so grateful for the unexpected treat. Ms. D was absolutely lovely and made the experience even sweeter. I enjoyed chatting with her while trying to narrow down my choices — not an easy task with so many delicious options! I ended up with two scoops of gelato: birthday cake on top and salted caramel dark chocolate underneath (a wise suggestion from Ms. D, since the birthday cake was sweeter). She described the birthday cake flavor as tasting like the vanilla frosting on store-bought cookies — and she was spot on. It was exactly what I was looking for. The salted caramel dark chocolate was unlike any version of that flavor I’ve ever had — rich, balanced, and uniquely delicious. This stop was a total highlight of the day, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Yosemite. Highly recommend!

Great family dinning experience at the Chateau du Sureau. Accommodated the menu for vegetarians and provided amazing service in the cellar. Great atmosphere and pleasant time while visiting Yosemite!

I went to celebrate my birthday by myself and I loved the atmosphere the bartender was amazing! I loved that he made especial cocktails that i have never tried before, but I was really disappointed with the food. It tasted great, but I did find a hair in my food. The bartender felt really bad and he took it off my tab. I forgot his name, but he was amazing. Im really thankful for the way he treated me. Made me feel comfortable.

We recently dined at a high end restaurant that delivered an overall enjoyable experience, though it came with a hefty price tag. The ambiance and service were top notch. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything felt smooth from start to finish. We decided to try a signature drink with each course, which added a fun twist to the evening. We had an Old Fashioned, a hibiscus margarita, a kiwi inspired cocktail, and an espresso with dessert. The drinks were good and well made, but none of them were truly memorable on their own. The standout of the night was the ahi tuna crudo course. It was absolutely delicious, especially paired with the melon. The balance of flavors was spot on and it was easily the most memorable dish. Dessert was also very good and left us with a sweet final impression. While the food was solid and some moments were excellent, the total—around five hundred dollars for two people—felt a bit much for a dinner that left us still wanting a bit more in terms of portion or wow factor. If you are in the mood to explore and splurge, this spot is worth a visit. If you do not have the money to spare, you are definitely missing out, but maybe not on something life changing.

This was probably our top dining experience ever! The room transports you to a romantic, charming European setting. We sat next to a beautiful fireplace, and the mantle was adorned with holiday boughs and candles. Wow! We splurged on the caviar and perfectly prepared warm bellinis. So worth it. The chefs muse bouche was creative, delicious and astonishing, plated on a ponderosa pine bark, that had been coated with resin. What a delightful reminder, that we are surrounded by magnificent trees. Each course had a wine pairing, and everything was described in extraordinary detail, which added to the deliciousness of each bite. I can’t tell you my favorite dish, because they were all amazing. Be sure to share with your dining partners. I also have to admit, we went to the happy hour in the bar the night before. The bar menu is completely different and we were also delighted with the delicious sea bass croquets and olive oil poached halibut. I also have to mention that the bartender was a true cocktail artisan and it was so fun to see him make our smoked bourbon drinks and the Grinch macha infused vodka. We live in San Diego and would easily drive the 7 hours just to experience this lovely restaurant again! Thank you chef and staff!

An absolutely outstanding fine dining experience near Yosemite! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional without ever feeling rushed. Every detail from the beautifully plated dishes to the thoughtfully curated wine list was exceptional. The flavors were balanced, creative, and clearly made with the highest quality ingredients. What stood out most was how seamless the entire evening felt. The staff anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and each course arrived perfectly timed. It’s rare to find this level of service and culinary excellence in such a stunning setting. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a memorable meal after a day in Yosemite, this restaurant is a must. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time

Stumbled upon this fairytale French chateau while searching for dining spots on a Yosemite trip, and I’m so glad I did! The staff were polite and the service was excellent. The food was good, and the whole place has such a charming, elegant vibe. I just wish I had more daylight to explore the estate, it looks absolutely stunning. Definitely a memorable spot worth visiting!

What a truly magical experience! The service and ambience is outstanding. Most importantly, the food was excellent! Usually, at most fine dining restaurants, we enjoy some items and others would be alright - hit and miss. We enjoyed every single starter, entrée and dessert. Beautiful experience and we will be back. Thank you!

Went in late at night. Despite it been busy for a Tuesday night, staff was friendly and attentive. Food was devine! The handmade tortillas were excellent and the cocktails were just right. Only down side, it was a bite loud for my preference. Given the amount of people, definitely understandable. Will absolutely try again when I'm in the area.

Everything was fresh and delicious!! Our server was polite and helpful. Good seating and great ambiance. Would come again. It's on the pricier side tho

This place was fantastic. From the bar tender to the waiters, staff and Food. As soon as I entered I felt refreshed. The music took me back to great memories. Lets talk food, I ordered mole and it was fantastic and authentic for the region.( There are many varieties so don't hate). I was pleased my food didn't have cheese or sour cream on it. (Shredded Cheese on Mexican food is a big sign the food is not going to be great and definitely not authentic). My husband ordered fish tacos and the flavor was delicious.he would order again. Ohhhj, the drinks!!! The Oaxacan cocktails are off the chain and you must order one! I got the Bracero... highly recommend it. I say, if there was a negative, it is that they only had 1 salsa and it was very liquidy. No spicy salsa according to the waiter.

A fantastic Mexican restaurant with an authentic vibe and a big selection of traditional dishes. The flavors are amazing but some meals can be very spicy, so choose carefully if you are sensitive to heat.

At our visit to Yosemite national park we had our motel in Oakhurst. The second day we decided to have more Mexican food cuz we loved it in LA and SD a few days ago. The tacos very really juicy and tasty. They put a lot of carne and shrimp in the tacos. The burrito was solid but a bit too juicy in my opinion but the taste was very good as well.

It was amazing. The dish looked beautiful and the taste was even better. The service and the atmosphere (the view especially) were great. I loved the ribeye tacos and the tortilla chips. Will recommend to friends!

The food was delicious. The server was very polite and helpful. They made you feel welcome and checked on us to see if we needed anything else.

We stopped her on our way back from Yosemite because of the good reviews. There was a line outside but it was worth the wait. I had the three meat plate combo with brisket, tri-tip, and pork. Everything was juicy and tender. The sides, mac and cheese and the baked beans, complemented the BBQ. They make their own BBQ sauce and pickles, everything was very tasty. Everything we ordered was perfect. I was especially pleased with the great customer service. All the employees were attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back when we are in the area.

If you are heading to, or coming home from Yosemite; this is a must stop for food. The restaurant opens right at 11 AM. There will be people lining up. This is not your typical fast food joint. There is no drive thru but service is fast. Meat is smoked for about 14 hours. You will see the smoker out front. I ordered the sashsquatch (might not be spelled right) it has brisket and tri-tip, grilled onion and some type of sauce. This sandwich is perfection. They cut the meat right in front of you. I also had the potato casserole. Everything was beyond yummy. I will always make it a point to stop here on my trips

This is my second review after our third visit. We stopped in Oakhurst on a Tuesday evening specifically to enjoy the barbecue on the way to Yosemite. We should have checked; they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. We came back for lunch on Friday and were the first customers of the day. The barbecue is wonderful and the service very good and very friendly. We shared brisket, pulled pork, and chicken and also took one-half pound of each home. Wow is it good. This is, in our opinion, barbecue as it should be, perfectly smoked. And, the smoking is done in the parking lot right out the front door, so the aroma is enticing up and down the street. Did I mention that the barbecue is wonderful?

5 star all around! We did have to wait in line, but they had cold water and staff outside to hand out menus and explain how everything works. They let you wait in the shade and monitor the line inside and that was awesome! The staff is all so kind and helpful and making sure you always have full drinks once you sit down! The food was INCREDIBLE. My family and I split the Mammoth so we got to try everything except the brisket which was sold out. All of the meat was so good and the sides were amazing. We got an extra premium side of the twice baked potato casserole and that was 100% worth it by far my favorite side. I would eat here again and again. We came at 6:30ish and got food around 7! So not too bad! The staff told us that if we came at 7 it is most often an hour and a half wait… so we were glad we came earlier!

The two-meat platter, featuring sausage and chicken, is accompanied by baked beans and the premium side of potato casserole. I'm so happy I did, since they were sold out of the house special baked potato. The meat is so tender, and the sausage has cheese and jalapenos. Wasn't a fan of the bread, but still good Staff hands you a menu, and you order at the counter after changing your mind a few times. Pay and then find a table. Staff are friendly, and tables are clean We're so bummed that we only had one chance to eat here.

The cafeteria style service was strange and the food was honestly mediocre. I dont understand what the hype was about. Maybe when there's not many other options to choose from locally this seems like a gold mine, but it wasn't all that great. The tri tip was a bit tough so I had to cover it with bbq sauce (the sauce is good), Mac n cheese was so gross and watery and flavorless and topped with what it looked to be bagged bacon; cold and chewy, not freshly made like all the other meats. The beans had great flavor but they were not cooked all the way; crunchy. Overall just pretty disappointed because the videos they post look AMAZING but did not live up to the hype. Not even close.

We came around 6:30pm, they have parking in the back as well, the front was pretty packed. There was a long line but it move quickly. You order first and then pay and get your food right after, like most bbq places. We got the 3 meats plate which comes with 2 sides and we added the sausage which was cheese. The three meat plates were tri tip, brisket and pork. The sides were their beans with meat and jalapeño mac and cheese top with bacon. The reason for 3 start, some of the meats were warm to room temperature, sausage was the only one that was really hot. The beans were hot and and mac and cheese was room temperature. The staff were really nice. The overall taste was good, just wished it was hot. The place was busy throughout but we found a seat no problem. The portion was good for 2 of us if you are not too hungry. They gave us an extra plate to share so the pictures are of the plate already shared, should have taken a picture before.

Traveling through Oakhurst, we stopped to have a little lunch on a Saturday, and it was absolutely delightful. We had a wine tasting, a couple of sandwiches with phenomenal salads, and we would definitely be back again. The service was super pleasant, and it's pet friendly.

Great homemade ice cream flavors! I savored the Sierra wild blackberry and honey lavender ice cream in a homemade waffle cone 😋. Although out of the way, definitely worth the drive from the Valley.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ICE CREAM! The candy looked great . Servings aren't super big. Resort prices. Great variety. I wish we had found it sooner in Oahhurst because it was difficult choosing from the favorites. They have delicious Gelato flavors too. Two friends had ooey-gooey (sp) and couldn't stop talking about it! I had banana walnut and dark chocolate chip Gelato. The strawberry 🍓 had chunks af real strawberries. They had some neat souvenirs as well. I purchased a baby Giant Sequoia tree! Guess we will see if the Carolinas can grow a giant!

She described the birthday cake flavor as tasting like the vanilla frosting on store-bought cookies — and she was spot on. It was exactly what I was looking for. The salted caramel dark chocolate was unlike any version of that flavor I’ve ever had — rich, balanced, and uniquely delicious. This stop was a total highlight of the day, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Yosemite. Highly recommend!
