The 14 best spots for chicken in Yosemite National Park

I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. It was dense and tasteless, liking chewing rubber, only the roll was satisfactory. The prices are reasonable but the quality of the food is utterly unacceptable. It’s best to just bring cold sandwiches and salads (in a large cooler) from home or purchase these items from a local deli as you drive to the Park.

Base Camp Eatery is in Yosemite Valley. To order your food you have to use the kiosk. There are many options to choose from. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich. It tasted good, but was expensive. All food in Yosemite is expensive. Plenty of seating in the dining area.

The only place to eat at yosemite Valley so your options are somewhat limited to whats on offer at that time. Place is packed with tourist and hikers and is loud with limited seats and tables. We got the pizza and cheeseburger and I'd have to say this was the safest options. Pizza was good tasting and the cheeseburger no complaints. No cash, card only for payment

One of my favorite eateries here for the convenience. Large indoor seating, ordering kiosks, and amenities nearby as apart of the lodge. Cell service here is also decent

Any place in Yosemite gets 5 stars for the atmosphere, it's absolutely beautiful. The food here isn't anything special but it's solid for what it is, a little on the expensive side (which is a trend for everywhere in Yosemite). Overall it's a good spot to stop for a quick lunch in the park.

Huge space, easy kiosk to order from, and pretty fresh selection of dishes. Affordable, quality, I was very impressed.

A great spot for families to eat. The food is a bit pricey for what you get, but seeing as there aren’t a ton of options I didn’t expect it to be cheap. The chicken sandwich was a tad dry but the fries & burger were very good! It is a pretty large spot to eat so that is great for those with larger groups.

Great food, great service, nice surroundings. Pricey, but food quality and preparation were excellent. Nice folks, clean area. Halibut and steak were excellent. Stella on draft a plus. Make a reservation!

Pricey but reasonable for the location. We enjoyed the wagyu burger and lamb chops. Dining room was fairly empty on a Monday night so food came out within 30 minutes. Unfortunately our server lost our credit card walking back to the station and just assumed we didn’t give him a card, so we sat waiting for 10 minutes wondering why he brought the check back. He hardly apologized when he finally realized and never ended up finding the card.

The food with its presentation will pleasantly surprise you. Compliments to the chef. This is fine dining in the Valley. Dinner reservations are absolutely necessary. Service was inconsistent. It depended greatly on the server.

We dined here twice during our stay in Yosemite and both times were pretty awesome. The first time I had the burger and it was probs the best burger I've had in a long time...juicy, well-seasoned, perfectly cooked. The second time we were there for our wedding anniversary so we both got the 10 oz filet mignon. Again, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, very delish. And the mashed potatoes that came with it were amazing. We're about to have the cheesecake for dessert, but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Definitely come here at least once if you're going to be staying in the park. Well worth it!!

Service was terrible - and food was also. We had a female waitress (no name tags so we can’t figure out what her name was but she mentioned she’s a nomad that works around areas from Tahoe to Yosemite and climbs). Literally had the worst service of our entire time - could not do dressing on the side for a salad. Asked for no syrup in a mocktail (can’t do that either). Asked for ribs and was not available, only for the table next to us to get ribs. She gave us some excuse. This is absolutely unacceptable. YVL do better. Train your staff. Food was also really really sad for what you pay for. Go to the cafeteria next time.

Ordered a ribeye steak at medium cook, but got a well-done instead, and my partner’s pan roasted halibut was dry. Our waiter was very kind and got me a medium cook steak, which tasted really good and just cooked right, after I showed him the first one he served. Not sure if this is a fine dining restaurant but the prices are. There are limited selection of wine, beer, and cocktail but good ones. I would have rated this restaurant 3-star, but because of our waiter, I gave a 4-star.

Food was delicious. Service was VERY slow. Vegetarian and non-alcoholic drinks. While the servers were attentive and kind, it took about 45-60 minutes on both times for us to get our food with no mention of it, had I known, I would have ordered an appetizer or a second drink. I recommend an earlier reservation to reduce the food wait time. Definitely make a reservation, even during December during the "slow" season, the restaurant was busy and reservations full, so no walk-ins were admitted. The food was very tasty, better than I expected for a state park, but very pricey, even for a San Francisco resident. I'd go back.

The pulled pork sandwich is awesome. The employees here are equally awesome. Just make sure to keep the front door closed. Green and purple bus stop 2 is very close.

I think your experience will vary depending on WHEN you visit. I went twice. Once when it was slower 1 day, and once when it was busy another day. The non-busy day it was an average experience. 3/5 stars at best. Nothing special. Not bad, not good. If you visit when it's busy, this place falls apart. They become rude, impatient, unhelpful and the food was significantly worse. Additionally, the second time I visited their fryers were broke, so they could basically only serve burgers and a few others things. I understand that things break and stuff happens, that's life, but that does not excuse the absolute terrible customer service experienced at the front counter. I watched 3 people walk out the door pissed off and saying stuff about the place while I was in line to get inside. I only realized after I ordered why they were upset. I will be back to Yosemite to visit, but I surely will not be back to this place.

This restaurant is at shuttle stop 2 in the park. I had the basket of chicken tenders, if you have a basket then you can either choose to have it with fries or a watermelon wedge. The watermelon was so juicy and sweet, the chicken tenders were a little dry though which let it down slightly. You collect food from inside and then sit outside to eat under umbrella tables. The area can look very busy but there’s a fast turnaround on tables so don’t be put off if you can’t immediately see a free table.

Good restaurant behind the welcome centre, there can be long queues during peak times. Wait times are not too bad, the service is good and food looks good. We ordered 3 French fries as a little snack for lunch. Ordering at the counter was fine and waiting for our order was ok, no problems. Nice place for lunch with outdoor seating.

The Village Grill in the valley serves delicious French fries 🍟 and refreshing Coca Cola 🥤 — perfect for a quick snack. You can also fill up your water vessel there, which is really handy in the 100° F heat. The only downside was the very long queue, so be prepared to wait during busy times.

Honestly can’t fault the food or service. We went on a busy Friday and ordered the chicken tenders, pulled pork sandwich, onion rings and fries. We really enjoyed our food- it was hot, tenders were crispy and chicken moist. The fries and sandwich were also great. The onion rings were also really crisp and hot when we got them. It took less than 10 mins for food for 4 people to come out. Server was friendly and patient. Not to mention the food was really reasonably priced especially considering where you are. Will be visiting again.

It’s not a “Grill” if the grill is a microwave. For being at Yosemite National Park, one of the most beautiful places on earth, their food is extremely bland and mediocre. I got an angus burger and my partner got the chili. The chili was good! But this burger… I actually received the food maybe within 10 seconds of ordering it, which means it was either microwaved, or they had cooked more and the burger was just sitting there. To be honest, I think it was both. It was cold and had the texture of school cafeteria burgers. Very basic; tasteless; weird texture; cold. I did not enjoy it at all. I do have to say, the fries are actually okay! Overall, you have no other food options other than this restaurant if you don’t have your own food, so just stay away from the burger and you will be okay.

4 stars for the store; it's small but they have enough stuff for you to get by. 5 stars for the post office sandwiched between the store and the grill. It may be the smallest in existence but it processes a mountain of packages. Just ask postman Mike and he'll tell ya. 3 stars for the grill. The food is not the best but it gets the job done if you're hungry and you probably will be. Standouts are the veggie chili and the bacon and egg biscuit. Fries are good too. I haven't had the burger but I imagine it's pretty good because I've seen many others with burger in hand. Staff are always nice.

Surprisingly decent tasting food for being in Yosemite. Gets busy in peak season. Long line, out the door, but moved very fast. All the employees were moving fast, especially the cooks. Credit card machine was very slow. Several picnic tables outside. General store next door. Very PCT hiker friendly area.

Love this place! Our favorites are soft serve ice cream and vegetarian chili. Burger and hotdogs taste great after a long hike or just eating by the side of the road enjoying the views. It was closed for a long time since Covid, I think.

So glad they had a vegetarian option! The potato wedges and the veggie bean burger were so great! Glad to even find good food option up there.

When you're hungry from hiking it's the perfect place for dinner real food. Did is made fresh to order. Would definitely rest here again.

Great considering the remoteness of the location. It’s counter service, no indoor dining tables, but serval outside. Staff were awesome!

Awesome spot ! Its the only post office that does not have a year in the pistal cancellation mark.

We went to The Awahnee Dining Room as a family of 6 on two separate occasions. LOVED the experience. For breakfast we opted for the al la carte menu and we can say everything tasted really good except for the French Toast that was more on the soggy side. The steel cut oats and trio mushroom, avocado and salmon on toast was a big hit. Angeline was incredible super cheerful and friendly. On average each plate was around ~20 dollars per pax before tip with generous portions. For dinner we had the dinner buffet. Although the selection was smaller than anticipated we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The highlight was the prime rib which was not chewy and the salad was to die for. We received great service yet again from Shannon and Marcus who were enthusiastic and attentive. Shannon even provided us recommendations for which route to take back to sf. There was live piano music which adds to the atmosphere.

Great hotel and the architecture with its history is wonderful. Loved the hospitality at the restaurant. Ordered for Salmon. It was very tasty and juicy. Kids loved the Chicken tenders. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Yosemite area.

I recently had dinner at the Ahwahnee Dining Room and while the night overall was memorable, it was thanks largely to the stunning atmosphere and the great company I was with. The grandeur of the historic hotel truly sets a tone of elegance and charm—the high ceilings, classic decor, and timeless beauty of the space made it feel special. However, a few elements detracted from the experience. While we dressed for the occasion, it was disappointing to see that the dress code was not consistently enforced. The lack of formality at many nearby tables took away from the sophisticated ambiance that the venue naturally provides. As for the food, it was unfortunately underwhelming. It wasn’t bad, but it lacked depth of flavor and the menu was more limited than I expected for such a renowned location. Service was another area that didn’t meet the mark. Our waitress was kind and genuinely tried her best, but it was clear she was under stress—likely a result of being understaffed, which seemed to be a theme across the room. The setting is truly one-of-a-kind and worth experiencing, but I hope the dining and service elements rise to meet the surroundings in future visits.

The room is beautiful and service was ok. What really disappointed was the food. We ordered 2 burgers cooked medium. The burgers were overcooked but the worst was that the fries were served completely cold and mushy. In a hotel of this level how can’t they even get a burger with fries right?

What can I say, I was so looking forward to dinner in the beautiful dining room having booked many months in advance. The room, stunning, our waitress efficient, courteous & engaging, piano player provided a pleasant atmosphere. The food however was quite an opposite story. Unremarkable & underwhelming start with the bread basket. Dry rolls & lacking in quality & freshness that you would expect for $8. French onion soup & salad fine but nothing spectacular. Main course of prime rib & hanger steak came out cold initially. Potatoes severally undercooked. When the meal was returned, came back having been obviously placed under a heat lamp. Yorkshire pudding burnt on top, steak recooked to well done & potatoes dry & hard. At $62 & $54 again I expected so much better. The best part of the meal was the glass of wine which indeed was delicious! Whilst the manager reduced the bill by taking off the coat of bread & soup & offered a dessert, it just didn't recover the night.

I read all of the reviews about how bad the food is so we decided to eat here for lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The dining room is magnificent. It looks like the dining hall in the Harry Potter movies. The views from the huge windows are stunning. We had the salmon, burger, french dip sandwich, cauliflower appetizer and stuffed mushrooms. The salmon was good and the burger and french dip were decent. The cauliflower was actually very good, with dates, honey, and chili flakes. The mushrooms were bland. The service was ok. The waitstaff are nice enough but they make some mistakes and aren’t really professional. But it wasn’t bad enough to ruin the experience. I think that lunch is the way to go. It’s less expensive and you can enjoy the views outside. It was one of the highlights of our visit. If you’re not staying at the hotel plan to pay $10 for parking or take the shuttle from the welcome center. It’s a long walk from the village.

The setting is absolutely stunning—the dining room feels like something out of Harry Potter’s Great Hall or Beauty and the Beast. High timbered ceilings, stone walls, candle-like chandeliers, and live piano music set a magical atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was a major letdown. Despite the fine-dining prices, the buffet menu was underwhelming and poorly executed. Most dishes lacked flavor, and the desserts were simply bad. It was quite disheartening, especially considering the grandeur of the place. Another downside was the inconsistent service. While some of the waitstaff were professional and attentive, others seemed undergroomed and unprepared, which detracted from the overall experience. If it weren’t for the charming piano music, this would have been a zero-star experience for me. I truly hope they improve the food—it wouldn’t take much, given how low the bar currently is. I came in with high expectations, and sadly, the meal didn’t come close to matching the setting.

Wawona Restaurant is a great stop for lunch or dinner, and one does not have to stay at the hotel to dine. The service was very friendly and attentive. The menu is rather limited and the food was just alright, but it was a good value. The location is great and the atmosphere is older but comfortable.

Food was delicious here! Open daily, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menu changes slightly every day. Make sure to make reservations in advance for dinner! Reservations can be made at the front desk.

Convenient if you're staying at the hotel. We weren't too hungry so we shared a couple appetizers. They were nice to offer to cut our wedge salad in half for us and serve on separate plates. The picture is just half the wedge salad.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The most glaring issue was the complete lack of urgency from the staff. Despite arriving before two other tables, we were consistently overlooked. It was frustrating to watch those other tables get served before us. To make matters worse, I requested milk for my coffee on three separate occasions, and each time it was blatantly ignored. As a result, my coffee got cold due to the staff's negligence. The quality of the food was equally disappointing. My French toast had a strange onion-like taste, which makes me suspect it might have been placed on the same grill as other ingredients. Overall, this was far from a restaurant experience I would recommend. It left me with a feeling of frustration and disappointment, and I would advise others to steer clear Doing this review while waiting for my family to finish eating. I'm still at the table impressed with this experience. I better go hiking quick to forget about this place. 😤 never let bad experiences to ruin your day!!!

We stopped in on whim because of how charming the building was! Beautiful old building. The dining room was nice, clean and spacious. We had excellent service. Our drinks were always full and our food was brought promptly.

This restaurant will take you back to years ago in its decor and feel. The menu is comfort food and its prices didn’t seem out of line with how remote the place is. My partner had the pot roast and loved it. I had the stuffed trout which was also good but a little overcooked for my liking. The service was fine although the dining room was hot. Liked it but ate at Yosemite Village our second night here.

We stopped by for lunch here at the Wawona Hotel dining room. The food was very good. The service was excellent. We loved the atmosphere, the historical settings and the scenery. It was a wonderful lunch experience.

Came on a Monday after a hike, later in the afternoon around 4, which I think helped make it less busy. We kept it simple and only ordered one pizza, choosing pepperoni and splitting it between all of us. The pepperonis were a bit crispy too, and had additional seasonings on top, which made them really tasty. I did notice a few people with more festive, extravagant pizza toppings, but the pepperoni was delicious, and thankfully, none of us got sick, as I read some people did on reviews! The Vernal Falls hike was much longer than expected, with a Mist Trail detour that made it even longer, so we were all glad to get the food quickly with no issues, and we ate inside the food court vs outside because it was hotter, and fewer tables were available.

Replace all those lost calories with this hot delicious pizza! This hit the spot! It's on the thicker side so if you prefer thin crust, this may not be it for you. Overall it was still really good!

I went to Yosemite last July. The line was long at 7-ish on Monday evening, and it indeed moved fast. The waiting for the food took about half an hour. The medium size of a fresh Half Dome was delicious and perfect for two women having small stomachs. We weren’t able to finish it and brought a half for the next-day breakfast. When we heated it up on the grill in the morning, it tasted great and the topping was still crispy! This pizza place is a must if you are visiting in Yosemite!

The pizzas were delicious but quite oily. We had to wait around 1 hr from starting the line until getting the pizza. Probably 20-30 min of waiting for waiting after ordering, good thing they give you a buzzer and it will let you know when it’s ready. Not many tables to sit and can be quite loud depending on how crowded curry village is

This pizza is absolutely delicious! It really surpasses many of the other brands out there. We chose to order online ahead of time to avoid the long wait, and it made the experience much more enjoyable.

We earned this pizza after a steep and long hike up to vernal falls. Very very busy place, but thankfully found out I could order online and skip the ordering line. Pizza was so good and worth the wait. Got ice cream while we waited (dessert first!) from the general store around the corner. Setting for dinner was breathtaking under the giant Yosemite cliffs towering over us.

Walk-up pizza. Nice deck seating if you can find something available. More seating inside. Mixed green salad was good but had a lot of kale. Large pizza have everyone in family at least one slice. There were pie pans by menu board to give example. We got half all meat option and half bacon pineapple.

Alright, this place rocks. An old school dive bar with great wings, awesome atmosphere, friendly staff, and great history what else could you want on a way to Yosemite. The kitchen had a great variety of bar food with a surprising good selection of both healthy and traditional bar grabs. The wings were incredible. I wouldn’t come here expecting it to be fine dining, but for an easy laid back experience I would definitely come back. My only complaint it the desert is pretty expensive for what it is. 15 dollars for a pretty small, but delicious, slice of carrot cake. I’m definitely coming back.

We weren't really sure what we would be expecting at a "historic" establishment - the oldest saloon in California. And absolutely, the place screams history. But we weren't sure because we had kids in our party. The interior is historic alright, but also really worn down. We were a bit confused as to how to enjoy the atmosphere - whether soak ourselves in 1852 or cut it slack for being quirky in 2025. The ceiling was a bit gross with spitballs of bills stuck to it like a disease. I'm sure there's some significance here but it was ghastly to say the least. And yes, it is a saloon but they could absolutely use a bit more lighting during the day. Again, at 2pm, it isn't a nightclub nor a karaoke saloon. Other than this, the entire place is again like a museum with artifacts from all over time hanging from walls and ceilings. Surprisingly, the food was quite good. The battered fries were near perfection. We were genuinely blown away on the quality of effort that was put into preparation - especially given the cuisine being American comfort food. The bacon burger was juicy and flavorful. The cobb salad was well made except they could've used a bit more fresher avocados and eggs. Other than that, it held well together. Iron Door Saloon has so much potential. All they need to do is "clean it up" a bit and be more museum and lean on history than a run-down, random collection of artifacts. The food backs it up. But everything else comes up short. The service was friendly but super slow. And I don't think it was our table only. And there weren't many in restaurant. If you are passing by Groveland, and want a bit of history, then this is it. But I wouldn't recommend it more than once a few years.

Oldest saloon in California. Lots of room to lounge and hangout. Very relaxed atmosphere. Bring a $1 bill and get it to stick to the ceiling. Legend has it you will have good success in the gold mine and will return to the saloon

The food was terrible — almost the worst I’ve ever had. The bread tasted like it wasn’t fresh. My friend ordered avocado toast, and it literally turned out to be just a piece of bread with two thin slices of avocado on top, nothing else. They didn’t even give ranch with the potatoes. The restroom was super inconvenient — about 2x2 and very narrow. The interior in the main hall was nice, and if it weren’t for the performer on stage, I would have given it a 1. The first thing I wanted was tasty food, but the menu turned out to be poor, and the food wasn’t good at all.

The Iron Door Saloon in Groveland is absolutely worth a visit! The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome right away. I especially have to mention the Garlic Fries – the best I’ve ever had! On top of that, the beer was served ice-cold, just the way it should be. The rustic and authentic atmosphere completed the experience perfectly and made the visit truly memorable. A fantastic place I will definitely come back to!

This place is amazing , this is the oldest saloon in California and the atmosphere there is unique, the food is good , if you are nearby you should go check it out

Absolutely loved the atmosphere! This is the oldest saloon in California and it definitely feels like a piece of Wild West history. Great vibes, friendly staff, and a super cool interior full of character. A must-visit if you’re in Groveland!

Really great lunch special. A couple slices and a coke for 6 bucks. Staff is really friendly and the pizza is good!! They had an Elvis impersonator and free pizza the night I was there!! Great place

I love stumbling across little gems like this! Pizza Factory in Mariposa absolutely delivered! The pizza was some of the best I’ve ever had. The kind of meal that makes you want to come back before you’ve even left. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in you won’t regret it!

They wont refund money over $100 for bad pizza our order wasnt right on 3 times they made the pizza. They wanted us to wait for another 30 minutes we werent gonna be fooled again. A bunch of young people working no one to watch over them.

I came here as a vegetarian and ordered mozzarella sticks. When the appetizer came, I noticed the marinara sauce tasted different. I asked the staff about it, and they casually told me, “Yes, it’s a meat sauce.” This was really disappointing and concerning. Many people avoid meat for religious, health, or ethical reasons, and sauces like marinara are generally expected to be vegetarian. There was no warning on the menu, and when I asked, the staff didn’t seem to care or think it was an issue. I want to warn other vegetarians, vegans, and anyone who avoids beef or pork to be cautious here, since items you’d assume are meat-free may not be. Management should really take this seriously and make it clear on the menu when a sauce or dish contains meat so customers can make informed choices. Until then, I would not recommend this place to anyone with dietary restrictions.

Came here last night and can only say that my pizza was amazing! Huge portion size which was welcomed. Lovely server who served with a smile. Service was quick and friendly, atmosphere was nice. If we come back to Mariposa we’d definitely eat here again. 👍

The pizza was delicious and the prices were very fair – excellent value for money. The staff were extremely friendly, and one of the team made a special effort to pronounce our (foreign) names correctly, which we really appreciated. Waiting times were short. The atmosphere was a bit loud, but in a lively and informal way that really suits this kind of place. Overall, a very positive experience.

We came from San Diego. Honestly this’s the best pizza I ever eaten. Loved the vibe of the place also

We LOVED 1850 Restaurant!!! We were here for Memorial Day weekend and stopped in for dinner both nights. Not only was the service amazing- but the food was incredible as well! Even though it was definitely a busy weekend, they had an efficient system where they'd give you a buzzer and you could hangout at the bar or in your car while waiting for an open table. The outdoor seating was great both nights! The second night we were there, we had just finished exploring Yosemite NP and my fiance had proposed to me there!!! The waitresses were so sweet & excited for us and even gave us complimentary champagne. It was such a good day and 1850 restaurant made it such a special night! We will absolutely be stopping back in the next time we're in the area!

We probably got unlucky with our server since it took us more than an hour to get our food. She seemed to have forgotten about our order since the beer wasn’t even served for 30 minutes until we asked for it. The portions were decent but the taste is just ok, basically what you’d expect from a mid tier chain American restaurant. The salmon was cooked nicely quite tender. The fries were too salty and already kind of stale when they brought it out.

The food here was pretty good. I ordered the steak which was very flavorful and a decent portion size. I also got sweet potato fries which had a nice sweet/ salty seasoning and were perfectly crispy. We also ordered the artichoke dip which wasn’t amazing, it tasted mostly like cream cheese but it wasn’t bad. We also tried the burger which was decently good, nothing special but standardly good. The price was reasonable and overall I would recommend. There’s seating inside and out and some bar seating. The staff was nice but didn’t communicate that our appetizer would come out at the same time as our entree. The parking is limited but there is a semi- parking lot.

Small space, a bit expensive, and tried the Shroom burger and the Tri-Tip steak. We are split 50/50 - The Tri-Tip steak was not very good, but should have known BBQ sauce on a steak might take away from the steak. It was also very chewy. But the mashed potatoes were great! The burger - AMAZING! They really had lots of great fresh ingredients, great burger blend, and would absolutely eat the burger again!

We had dinner at the restaurant after we saw the hood rating. Mariposa is a small town with limited choices so after we saw the rating we decided to eat here. The food was ok, but the service is really bad. She must really hated her job. She never introduced herself. Whatever you ask her she just points to the menu. We waited 30 mins to get our food. Food is ok, nothing special, they don’t taste bad but also not spectacular. After she dropped the food and drinks off she never bothered to check back on us again. She walked by our table so many times and never bothered to check if we were ok with the food or if we finished. We sat there for at least 15 mins after we finished and tried couple times to make eye contacts with her she never bothered to look at us. Basically there is no service. And the last tip is don’t order drinks. They charge $8.50 for a small cup of lemonade. They give it a name called “half dome lemonade” that you pay $2.50 for the lemonade, $6.00 on the “half dome”. The picture shows the size of the $8.50 lemonade compared to the water glass. Such a ripoff. It’s a tourist town so they probably don’t care for return customers. Just want to give a true experience review for others. My advice is eat somewhere else.

Absolutely blown away by their shroom burger (medium rare). Will definitely come back for it again, (staff pls don’t change a thing about this). The fries were also really nice, great seasoning (not too salty), ketchup not needed. Sweet potato fries are standard. Shrimp Sando was good as well (not as amazing as the shroom burger though) Service was good 5/5, would come back

I visited 1850 Restaurant & Brewery in Mariposa and had the Tri Tip Steak – absolutely amazing! The meat was grilled to perfection, tender inside and nicely seared outside. The portion was generous, the mashed potatoes were creamy, and the barbecue sauce was simply outstanding. The service was very friendly and attentive. A great dining experience – highly recommended!

This was my first time visiting this place since we were staying at the hotel next door. It’s a huge place with outdoor seating and clean as well. There is a salad bar option, but you can only go once and the plate that you have to use for is very small. The food was ok, seasoning wasn’t that great. Overall service was fantastic, friendly staff, but they can do way better on food. Prices are reasonable and there’s plenty of parking. I’ll probably go to another pit stop next time around.

For the price of BYO omelette and large portion, it’s very reasonable for today’s standards. Mind you, 1.5 usd per veggie of choice so the 14.5 breakfast meal ended up around 20 usd with hash potatoes and bread of your choice. Obviously, the service is lacking, overheard they were short staffed and that’s understandable and noticed frequented by other diners here but servers not so welcoming for outsiders or first time diners. The place is horrendously needing upkeep. The outdated style fits the restaurants name which was acceptable, however, hygiene wise, it’s 1/10. Musty smell and even bathroom was nauseating. I just chose this while on the road due to proximity to CA 140, otherwise I recommend looking for other option to spend 50 dollars for 2 persons

Was camping out of town and told to come here for supplies. I didn't find what I was looking for but what a neat little town. Glad we got to visit. Stopped at Miners because it was the first place we really noticed coming in, hoping for a nice steakhouse experience. While the place could really use some repairs (maybe even upgrades) and a deep clean, the service and food were both good. We had a pizza and the open face turkey sandwich. Menu stated it came with mashed potatoes but there were none. I would have liked about twice the amount of the cranberry sauce given but was very pleased that I got to visit the salad bar to make my side salad myself. The veggies that came with my sandwich were seasoned and cooked perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised with them. I think the food was definitely worth the cost.

This was a pit stop for me, it’s a big place with outdoor seating which I love! we ordered the chicken wrap it was okay. seasoning, then the burger on rye it tasted okay also, maybe adding lettuce and tomatoes is a good idea. fish and chips was recommended and it was Over cooked. Overall the food could use a little more seasoning but great pit stop. All Of the fries was delicious: garlic fries, regular fries and sweet potato fries. Service in the other hand was spectacular:) two thumbs up on that one! Prices are reasonable fish and chips $20 Wrap $20 and burger $20 I would probably try different pit stop next time around!

Friendly service and great food! The wonton nachos were amazing. Potato skins are so good! Very crunchy. Fish tacos delicious and mozzarella sticks perfect. Eat there! Really good. The Locale people go there. I'm a vegetarian... so no meat on anything. My friend had the fish tacos. Also, April 18 2019

Hope they are here to stay. Havent had too many things off the menu because their meatloaf has me hooked. Huge portions, best Ive had. Better price than others in the area. Will be back

Great food , super nice lady. Salad bar was stocked and clean. Kept our tea filled. Will definitely go back

I had dinner at June Bug Café during my trip near Yosemite, and it was a great find! After hearing mixed reviews about the park and lodge restaurants, I decided to drive a bit further south — definitely worth it. I ordered the St. Louis style pork ribs, which came with mashed potatoes. The portion was huge, and the food was solid overall. The BBQ sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but still enjoyable. Prices are on the higher side, but considering the limited options in the area, it’s understandable. If you're looking for better quality than the typical park restaurants, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out.

Went for dinner with a group of 14 people. Soon the restaurant got filled and busy. The team served really quick and taste of the food was really good. I let the team know their service was really impressive. I ordered vegan meal and it was superb. Every single one of us enjoyed. Highly recommend to visit.

We stopped at the June bug for breakfast on the way to Yosemite. We ordered the trail lunch which we thought was very convenient along with some breakfast. The cafe is very cozy on the inside, the food decent, but the service really was depressing and a downer. The two people working couldn’t give less about their customers and clearly felt annoyed to be working that morning. The wait time was incredible long for a simple American breakfast - 30 minutes+ while nobody else was at the cafe. Eggs were tasty but hash browns were definitely greasy and gross. The cook didn’t seem to put any effort in the meals. Please serve your customers with a smile and give two cents about the people visiting your cafe. ** EDIT ** to the owner: we did not order jack cheese and I don’t think we were nasty. So no we were not those customers. We were certainly not upset. There are two things you can do about feedback: being dismissive or trying to take it to heart. I am sorry you choose the first option.

The food we ordered (salmon & rib) were delicious yet a little overcooked. This place is self-service style, not a traditional restaurant: you bring your food to table of your choice, and bus the trays to the kitchen window. You get your own water and drinks after paying upfront to the cashier. However, the receipt suggests you to choose either 15% or 20% tips, or you can enter your own amount. We found it’s an audacious asking for a cafe with a minimal service to ask 15-20% tip.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly Stellar Food in a Rustic Setting June Bug Café in Midpines might look unassuming—order at the counter, grab your drinks and salad or soup, and they’ll bring your entrée to your table. You bus your own table when you’re done. It’s part of a rustic lodge setup with cabins and dorms… not exactly fine dining at first glance. But don’t let the casual setup fool you—the food is absolutely next level. I had the Slow Roasted Herb Marinated Half Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and it was fantastic. Tender, flavorful, perfectly roasted. We also tried the Vegan Roasted Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Curry Samosas, which were surprisingly complex and delicious. They rotate their menu daily (check Facebook!), and everything is made with care. Salads were fresh, soup was rich and comforting (Cream of Broccoli with Carrots today), and the portions were solid. Honestly? Probably the best meal we’ve had on our national park trip—and we weren’t expecting that from a little hillside café. Highly recommend.

We stayed in a Yosemite lodge but were tired of their food. Drove a half hour to this place - totally worth it! You stand in line to place your order and get your salad or soup at that time. While you sit and eat that they’re making your dinner. The choices are amazing! Vegan, vegetarian, Greek, BBQ, half a chicken… all cooked with good seasoning and accompanied by fresh vegetables. Go!!

Parking is difficult, but the food is well worth it!! We went twice while staying in a nearby Airbnb cabin. The restaurant was only 4 minutes from us. We went with a big group for dinner. The menu is small so we tried several different entries. We started out with a broccoli soup which was fantastic, it really tasted like homemade. I had the steak with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Other guests had the salmon, trout, one of the sandwiches, and ribs. We loved everything! As far as desert, we all shared the chocolate peanut butter pie which is probably the best I've ever tasted. We ended up going back the next morning for breakfast, just the two of us. I ordered the huevos rancheros, and my fiancée got the American breakfast, and we also ordered the French toast to share. Everything was phenomenal. We also ordered some dessert to go. Another slice of the chocolate peanut butter pie, of course. We also got the lemon cheesecake and the Triple Berry pie. The cheesecake was insanely delicious, but neither of us were crazy about the Triple Berry pie, I'm sure it's fantastic but it's really not our thing. It looked good though! The prices are reasonable and the portions are great. Definitely give this place a try!

Great healthy grocery store in town. There’s a cafe attached that has a great menu. We didn’t order food but bought groceries. Definitely a bit priced on the higher side but has healthy foods if you’re looking for it.

Cute market with a cafe that sells sandwiches, soups, salads, etc. Perfect for stopping by and packing a picnic on your way up to Yosemite National Park! I believe they open at 8-9am, prices can be a bit steep but everything is top quality. Their market and cafe have tons of options for vegans and vegetarians. Highly recommend!

We stopped here for breakfast the morning we checked out of our hotel in Yosemite and would highly recommend others go here too. The lady at the till was really friendly, the prices are so reasonable and the food was very flavoursome. Although it is technically a shop there is a seating area so you can enjoy your food inside and not feel rushed. We both ordered the bagby bagels - delicious!

Had an amazing lunch here today and the best service! Had the mountain laurel and amazing bowl of coconut lentil soup and the service was out of this world! Thanks again ladies! ❤️

What a pleasant surprise to find en route to Yosemite. Not only was all the produce fresh but they had a such a range of organic and gluten free products I was in heaven. Not to mention the deli which had gluten free sandwiches and quiche!

Wow - to echo other reviews, this place is an unexpected gem. It's packed full of popular health food brands, attractive produce, and helpful COVID-conscious staff. Everything was clean and well priced. Definitely stop here!

Very friendly awesome people and service. Local fresh produce & meat, organic and healthy food &grocery choices, the cafe has amazing foods and service !!!

The cinnamon rolls are outstanding. Really big, we probably shouldn’t have ordered one each. 😀 Seriously though they are superb. Nice place, good cappuccinos too. My wife loves the hoodie she bought there too. Thanks!

Absolutely delicious! We loved this cozy, artsy little bakery so much we came back two days in a row. The avocado toast, cinnamon rolls, breakfast wrap, and coffee were all amazing. Friendly staff, great vibes, don’t miss this gem

We loved this place. 10 out of 10. Come for the mountain tops and stay for the muffin tops! The avocado toast, quiche, chocolate muffin, cinnamon rolls, and multiple types of coffees, all EXCELLENT. What a nice surprise.

Absolutely loved the food. We were visiting Yosemite for 4 day and EVERY MORNING this was our spot. Food was amazing, not to loud and in a cozy spot. I dont change my foods when I find a good place but here I tried 3 different dishes acaí bowl, avocado toast and yogurt parfait. Omg mouth watering mmmmmmm!!!! My husband had the same and he had the almond butter toast. I'm not crazy for it but he melted with it both times he ate it Lol. Ladies keep up the GREAT work! Oooh almost forgot yall got to try their OJ, BEST OJ we ever had! My hubby reeeeeallly like their smoothis too Lol. Sorry pics not the best thats how good food was we forgot to take pics before ate.😂😂❤️

Everything is perfect. The food, drinks the people and atmosphere. Very clean too! Must try the pesto turkey melt omg so good 😋

Walked into a bit of slow chaos... a long line since they were a little bit understaffed (at least one girl was apologetic, while some are poorly trained and taking their stress out on the customers) and running out of ingredients and messing up orders, we and others waited quite a bit for our food and then a bit more for our drinks as well. The sammie was great on sourdough and bagel ($12). Patio is a nice addition - beautiful views and umbrellas saved us from the worst of the midday sun. By noon, it was quiet here. Overall, it's a worthwhile stop on the off-peak hours. Serving both coffee, food, art, and views.

Amazing experience!!! Local spirit and support of artists and super helpful to tourists. Best food! Love the coffee, cappuccino, cinnamon rolls, avocado toast. A MUST visit in Mariposa. Make sure you meet Ryan she is a gem.
