Located in Yosemite National Park, Curry Village Pizza Deck is a rustic eatery offering creative pizzas and a relaxed dining experience. The airy dining room and terrace provide outdoor seating options for visitors to enjoy their hearty hand-tossed pizzas. Whether you're craving traditional pizza toppings or more original options, the menu caters to both vegans and meat lovers. With stunning views of Glacier Point from inside or out, this spot is definitely worth a visit after a day of exploring the park's iconic landmarks.
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!

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.

Their pizzas are delicious — we tried the veggie one and absolutely loved it. You can enjoy your pizza with a drink either outside or in the large indoor cafeteria. Inside, you’ll also find a variety of sauces, and the place feels warm and cozy. Also if you sit outside crows and squirrels will come around to take their share. And yes… beware of Bear No. 37!

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!
Minju S — Google review
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.

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.
Eric W — Google review
My son Alex said this pizza is better than Disneyland pizza - and he's right! We tried the Mother Curry and Half Dome pizzas and everything tasted so fresh. Ordering was super easy and the views of Glacier Point while eating made it even better. You can tell they make everything fresh - not like most tourist places that serve frozen stuff. We come here every time we visit Yosemite now. The outdoor deck is perfect for families and the pizza actually tastes great. Hard to find good food in the park but this place nails it. If I could give 100 stars I would! Don't skip this spot when you're in Yosemite.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Ahwahnee Dining Room is a renowned American dining venue located in the historic Ahwahnee Hotel, offering a culinary experience amidst cathedral windows and a soaring cross-beam ceiling. The restaurant prides itself on excellence, featuring dishes like Berkshire Pork Chop Milanese and Angus Beef Filet Oscar. With its airy dining space boasting 34-foot beamed ceilings and picturesque views of Yosemite Valley, the Ahwahnee seamlessly integrates architecture with natural beauty.
We were very impressed with the service here. Our server, Shannon, gave us great advice and tips. All the servers were very friendly and attentive. There were many menu options, including vegan ones. And the space is AWESOME! As in, truly inspired awe. It's a grand hall with beautiful windows and lots of space between tables. Just lovely. Thanks again!

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.
Luis V — Google review
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?
Sara T — Google review
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.
Audreygubler — Google review
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.

The Mountain Room is an upscale restaurant located in Yosemite Valley Lodge, offering stunning views of the 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls through its floor-to-ceiling windows. The menu features a variety of dishes including steak, seafood, and pasta, complemented by a full bar. It's recommended to make reservations in advance for the coveted waterfall-view tables. After a day of outdoor activities in Yosemite National Park, visitors can treat themselves to a memorable dining experience at The Mountain Room.
The service was great and the view of the upper falls provided a nice backdrop and object of conversation. For example, we discussed the flow rate of the waterfall compared to, uh, our shower at home and determined it would be like a Tim Allen Home Improvement experience to shower under the falls :-). My Manhattan cocktail could have been colder, but other than this the seared trout and the mole pork chop were both delicious. Our waiter Sean was attentive and presented everything with panache. Parking is available, but you will have to hunt patiently for an empty spot. Reservation is required.

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.

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.
Jennifer J — Google review
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.

Nestled within Yosemite Valley Lodge, Base Camp Eatery pays tribute to the area's rock climbing legacy through its architecture. This casual and spacious food court offers a diverse array of dining options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. From Asian-style noodles to pizza, salads, burgers, and even Starbucks coffee, there's something for every palate. Emphasizing front-of-house cooking and fresh culinary concepts using local and seasonal ingredients, the eatery also provides grab-and-go selections.
Great spot to grab a bite after a morning hike! We had the chicken fingers, cheeseburger with fries, and some super fresh coleslaw—way better than I expected. The food hit the spot and came out fast, which we really appreciated. We liked it so much, we came back the next morning for breakfast. The short stack was delicious, and the breakfast combo was just the right amount of food. Service was quick both times, and there was plenty of seating. Definitely recommend if you’re in the park and need a solid, no-fuss meal!

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

While staying at the Yosemite Valley Lodge we had breakfast at the Base Camp Eatery. This is a cafeteria style restaurant right in the Lodge common area (near the lodge main office). We walked the short distance to the Eatery where there was a small line. You place your order at electronic kiosks with a number of options for the morning meal, and for most items on the menu you can customize your order. They also serve dinner and lunch but we enjoyed those meals at other locations in the Valley. After you place your order - and pay for it at the kiosk - you receive a receipt with your order number. The kitchen staff prepares your meal and calls your number. My wife and I ordered the same thing our first morning, the Breakfast Bundle. We both often for Bacon (pork sausage was the other option) which was served with scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. 

My wife found a table while I wanted for our food (at certain times, an indoor table can be elusive - she found one in just a few minutes). We were both pleased with our meal. The scrambled eggs and potatoes were seasoned well and the bacon had minimal gristle. There was ample serving for a reasonable price - especially knowing we were deep inside a National Park. They do serve coffee but we splurged and ordered Mocha Latte from Starbucks which is next door. On our second morning we wanted a lighter breakfast as we had plans for a bigger lunch that day. We ordered two Yogurt parfait with a side order of two pastries. It was a good sized container with greek style yogurt - with added blueberries and strawberries. I also selected one fruit danish and one chocolate croissant. Once again,. we both enjoyed our orders. I appreciate having a quality meal available in such a convenient location in the park with reasonable prices. I did note several bad reviews and it looks like it's related to lunch or dinner meals.

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.

The Village Grill is a laid-back eatery located in Yosemite National Park, offering a range of grilled sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, and vegetarian choices. Situated in eastern Yosemite Valley near the parking area, it provides a casual dining experience with an expansive outdoor deck that offers breathtaking views of Yosemite Valley. Whether you're craving traditional hot dogs or more unique options like salmon burgers, this popular spot has something for everyone.

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.
William T — Google review
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.
Wren — Google review
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.

Nestled in a luxurious, fairy-tale setting, The Elderberry House offers an exceptional dining experience with its French-Californian set-price dinner menu and Sunday brunch. For over 30 years, this award-winning restaurant has been serving globally-inspired cuisine prepared with locally sourced seasonal and organic ingredients from nearby Central Valley farms. The menu is complemented by a hand-curated selection of fine wines from the restaurant's cellar.
This is probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had— I would say, once in a lifetime (though I really hope not!). We splurged for a special occasion and I’ll never regret it. Every detail was special. The menu even had our names printed on it when we arrived. Really cute and classy, and the wine selection was tops.

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.

This was absolutely delicious. Such a hole in a wall place with some of the best corn tortilla tacos i’ve ever tasted. I had shrimp tacos and they were awesome. My friend had the chicken tacos. The service was surprisingly fast, even though we were there kinda mid afternoon, so could probably be slower during lunch rush.

Food is overpriced for what you get, but that is everything in Yosemite. There is a good selection of items to order from the menu.

I recently ate at the restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The food didn't quite live up to my expectations, and the taste was off. Burrito will leave you feeling still hungry. Had to buy the super fries too after. Considering the location, I understand that prices might be higher, but for me, the quality didn't justify the cost. If you're looking for a dining experience within the park, you might want to explore other options or manage your expectations accordingly. Perhaps with some menu adjustments or quality control, this restaurant could better showcase the beauty of Yosemite.

I think the low reviews are a little unjustified for the place. It’s a national park, you can not go in expecting good and cheap food. The food here from my experience is mediocre leaning good and the prices are reasonable for a national park. I got to try the carne asada tacos and the SW chicken salad. The tacos were street tacos and honestly not that bad. I’m mexican myself so I’ve honestly had way better, but for a NPS food establishment, I was happily surprised with the food. Street taco style with corn tortillas, lime, onion, and cilantro. Not too much to desire but still great after a day of hiking in the middle of nowhere. The SW chicken salad was a little disappointing. I didn’t expect a pre-boxed food item when ordering. It was decent but a little expensive for the portion. I would’ve went without it next time and just got more tacos. Overall, I’d recommend the place. It’s better and cheaper than most food i’ve had at other national parks and think people are a little harsh. We’re in the yosemite wilderness after all.

We were hungry after a long hike and we tought we could eat ANYTHING. It was disgusting. A road kill tasts better. AVOID! Recommend the pizza place around the corner, for the same money you can actually feed your family with a decent meal.

considering the location we are happy to find something to eat. Had the chicken salad.. chicken was absent.. there were some crumbs thought to be chicken.. boys had burritos.. they did not complain. But look around you.. have a good meal when you get to a restaurant elsewhere. Next door was a gift shop with groceries.. not too bad. Look at the pic.. yes this is where you are having your meal.

Subpar.. not filling enough for hikers, expensive for the portions. Got the mushroom "protein” which felt like a single small mushroom chopped up on the super fries. Subpar cheese, subpar fries, even their bowl was not that good— and you miss out on the protein with the burrito bowl if you’re vegetarian but still have to pay the same price as those getting meat. Not going here again.

Stopped by on our way out of Yosemite to Sequoia. It was a very nice lunch. Service was great. Food was delicious. Like many hotels and lodges, this one is also undergoing some restoration work, but the dining room is still open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

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.

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!!!

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.

Was hoping to dine in at the loft. However it is close for some reason and we ended up buying from the deli. They have limited amount of selection to choose from. I ordered the Pastrami sandwich and the soup of the day which is Bacon Potato soup. Sandwich is okay, as it taste very normal for me. Not really memorable. However, the soup is quite tasty and I enjoyed it. Prices is a bit high, which is expected when your buying food inside the national park.

I had a salmon sandwich here and really enjoyed it. The price was surprisingly low for this area, and the taste was even better than expected! My friends ordered pastrami sandwiches two days in a row and called them the best they’ve ever had (even better than in fancy New York cafés). My sandwich was great too, though I wish it had been warmed up a bit. I also tried the soup and was very happy with it!

Reasonable prices and food, grab and go as well. For breakfast, plan on waiting 10+ minutes if you order a breakfast sandwich. One person takes your order, disappears in the back for a while, then comes back out with your food and takes the next order. There was no one at the cashier for over ten minutes, multiple people got tired of waiting and just left with their food. Not sure why this place is so disorganized.

My husband wasn’t interested in the only vegan dish which is “Cabbage Under Fire” but it was scrumptious, he agreed! They do have a side of fries which is a huge mountain load of fries! Friendly staff, spicy sauce available, overall, a nice warm shelter during winter months that was consistently open during our February visit, where as other places that were supposed to be open according to Google in fact were not, and vise versa 🤪 Located in the same building where the Curry Village Dining Pavilion (where the deck - pizza takeout)

I'm sorry, but that was terrible food. Almost $30 for chewy, rubbery, average tasted "bbq beef". I'm completely ignoring the "sides" issue. It was supposed to be carrots, cucumbers, etc., I got a few lousy slices of chili. Nothing more. Maybe you can eat it with appetite when you come back from a few hours of trekking and wash it down with a lot of local beer. I struggled terribly with this.

Best Burger I've had in a LONG time. I can't really say more, but it was juicy, the fried onions were flavorful and the sauce, it was perfect. They use tallow for their fries. If you have kids they can choose something here or in the cafeteria next door. I also thought the prices were not bad, especially for the portions. The salad looked amazing! I'd eat here again. We tried all the restaurants in Curry village and they were all pretty good, this burger was my fav. The pizza, which can feed an army, that was also amazing next door.

Tuolumne Meadows Grill is a casual dining option for backpackers and campers near Tioga Pass Road in Yosemite. This tented restaurant, located near the ranger station, offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner served cafeteria-style with a menu featuring hot and cold dishes like soups, sandwiches, salads, and entrees.
I love this place, the potato wedges are so dang good! I recommend dipping them in the soft serve. The burgers are not the best, frozen patties that are cooked to death, but they hit the spot EVERY time when you've been in the woods over a week. Don't let a long line scare you off, they actually get through orders pretty fast. They have outdoor seating in more than one location, and there is a parking lot near the grill/market if the main lot is full (don't worry). They serve breakfast only until 11am, and start making burgers/softserve/wedges at 11:15am. No condiments are added to anything, you have to use the cups and pumps.

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.

The Village Store in Yosemite Valley is a convenient outpost offering a wide range of supplies for both campers and visitors. From groceries, clothing, and camping supplies to books and gifts, the store has everything you need for your Yosemite adventure.

This is your main stop for just about anything Yosemite - and grocery goods as well. As you know if you've been here - civilization is a long drive away, so the shop here has a total monopoly in the area. They have all of the Yosemite souvenirs you could want here. They seem to be a bit more expensive than other national parks - but what are you going to do. This place is almost constantly crowded, so be prepared to duck outside for a breath of mountain air now and then.

The Village Store in Yosemite is impressively well-stocked, offering everything from groceries and snacks to souvenirs, apparel, and outdoor gear. It’s just a short walk from the parking area, and the staff has always been friendly and helpful during my visits. I’ve been stopping in here for decades, and I almost always find something to bring home—whether it’s a Yosemite mug, hoodie, beanie, hat, or T-shirt. Their food selection is also excellent, easily one of the best I’ve seen in a national park (comparable only to the Grand Canyon Village Market & Deli). The store usually stays open later than most surrounding businesses, typically from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., which makes it a convenient stop whether you’re grabbing snacks or last-minute souvenirs. Parking directly in front of the store is limited to 30 minutes, but that’s rarely an issue since you can park at the Yosemite Village Parking area and make the short walk up past the new Visitor Center to get here. The Yosemite shuttle also stops right near the store (Stop #1), so it’s accessible no matter how you’re getting around. If you’re in Yosemite Valley and need groceries, a gift, or just want to browse, this is definitely the place to go!

Nestled in a nature-filled setting, Ducey's On the Lake & Ducey's Bar & Grill is a meat-centric eatery offering American classics like steak and prime rib. The restaurant, located in a rustic wooden lodge, provides stunning views of Bass Lake. Visitors have praised the warm ambiance and breathtaking scenery as the perfect backdrop for special occasions. The standout dish is the perfectly cooked and flavorful steak that embodies the establishment's premium quality.
OK, you’ve already been told now Bass Lake is our little heaven on earth. We especially love going up in late February or early March, catching some snow for the kids to play and just having a relaxing weekend. Every time we visit, we find ourselves at Ducey’s at least once mostly for lunch. The food is great and service is phenomenal. They have lots of beers on tap and a great signature drink list to choose from. The wifey‘s go to is Ducey’s sunset, and of course me being a rather hefty guy obviously I like my beer. I usually grab a solid IPA. You can’t go wrong with anything you choose off the menu, but the last several times we’ve been we are digging the MEXICAN POUTINE (Fries | Birria | White Chili Con Queso Fresco | Pico De Gallo | Guacamole| Jalapeno |Roasted Pablano Crema| Chipotle Aioli | Roasted Salsa) they’re yummy. Beware though if you split these between two people and you have a drink or two (especially a tall heavy beer) you’re probably not gonna need much else to eat and whatever else you order is likely going back to the room for later. Next time you’re in Bass Lake or even if you wanna drive up to the mountains for a nice lunch, check out Ducey‘s on the lake you won’t be sorry!

My family and my daughter's in-laws celebrated Father's Day at the Ducey's. They were not that busy, yet we still had to wait to be seated despite having a reservation. There is no lake view where we were seated. The Ahi Tuna was good. A little more sauce to go with the rice would have been better. My daughter had a burger, and she said it was good. The fries and tater tots were good. The service could be better. We had to ask for a high chair a few times, and we could use a refill of our drink (water).

Delicious food and options of two restaurants with a beautiful view of Bass Lake! With Live bands during the summer and people from all over this is definitely a must Try!!

Lodge

Restaurant
Nestled just outside Yosemite's western boundary, Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite is a secluded 15-acre compound featuring vintage-to-upscale cabins set around a 1920s restaurant and tavern. Following a $10 million renovation, the lodge offers rustic yet chic accommodations and friendly staff who can arrange various adventures, from guided bike trips to fly-fishing lessons. Guests can also enjoy custom camping experiences with comfortable amenities.
This place is incredible — it’s surrounded by beautiful mountains and located very close to the Yosemite Park entrance. We stayed in the tents, which was a fun experience, but it did get quite cold at night, so I’d recommend booking the tents during a warmer season. The hotel has great amenities — a beautiful pool, a relaxing jacuzzi, and even board games. It’s very complete and perfect for disconnecting from everything. The best part was the hot chocolate — absolutely delicious! The restaurant offers limited food options, but you can also bring your own food, which is super convenient. Overall, it was an amazing stay and a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy nature. 🌲

Beautiful experience at Evergreen Lodge We had the most wonderful experience at Evergreen Lodge! Everything was beautifully arranged — the setting, the atmosphere, and every little detail were perfect. A special thank-you to Micaela, who organized everything with such care. She was always in touch, thoughtful, and attentive to every concern we had — truly a pleasure to work with. Lola also did a fantastic job helping with the setup and making the place look absolutely magical. The whole team made our morning unforgettable. Highly recommend Evergreen Lodge to anyone looking for a well-organized and heartfelt event surrounded by nature.

Our new favorite Yosemite cabins! Perfect for families. We loved the thoughtful effort in having so many games and puzzles available so people can enjoy a slower, technology free weekend with family. We loved the pool and hot tub, nightly campfire smores, onsite restaurant, multiple indoor and outdoor play areas, meandering forest pathways, sunset vista spot, and cozy cabin rooms. We’ll be back every year!

Kinda place in your dreams. Fall was beautiful. The little cabins ad walk ways with hidden little extras was such fun to experience. We even took a dip in the hot tub at night. Stars were amazing. The bar was very cool. Can't wait to go back for a longer stay. Yes thats an actual shoot star in the night time photo! Amazing place

Beautiful lodge in the forest, very calm area. We appreciated the jacuzzi and pool. The logde is comfortable, and the food is excellent. We recommend the Zinfandel wine. A few things to do better : fridge way too cold, heating cannot be adjusted, and minimum amenities. One hour drive to go to Yosemite Valley.

Just stayed here, this place was awesome. The onsite restaurant and bar is crucial because there's not much nearby, but they have everything you need, and the food is spectacular. Nice little general store that has sandwiches and snacks, plenty of drinks, a rain jacket if you didn't bring one, Nalgene bottles, whatev. The staff was really nice and super helpful too… We got some great information from Billy and had a great experience in the park. Strongly recommend. Maybe a little bit pricey, but justified for sure😊🤙

I was reminded of my stay here from 2014 from some older pictures I found (before Google tied your location to pictures), so my review might be a smidge dated, but it absolutely deserves a review. It was a gorgeous place, nice views, easy parking, with a bar, restaurant (which I don't believe I visited, but the bar was wonderful), and community fire pit. So a great way to meet and casually chill with other travelers, yet, due to the individual cabins, we had plenty of privacy as well. It was also a reasonable distance from the park and an easy drive to get there. It was the most romantic getaway I've ever been on, and I was only looking for somewhere affordable to stay near Yosemite; I hadn't really looked much into the place because I didn't plan on spending a lot of time there. It was surprisingly fantastic, I was blown away. I actually felt annoyed that we didn't end up spending more time JUST there! And this was VERY recently after a huge fire in the park. They managed to make that sad event completely forgettable, even though just up the street, there was a lot of burned forest. Super impressive (and thank goodness the place was intact, they were seriously within like, maybe ¼ mile of the burn). The craziest thing is that the prices from when I stayed there 11 years ago are extremely close, maybe even the same, to what they are now!! Uncovering this memory fills me with urgency to go back ASAP. I wish I could live here 🥲💖

In the middle of nowhere we found this amazing place to stop and enjoy nature. Here you hear the sound of nature when the sun set comes. The smell of wood is around you. We slept in beds put in tents. The swimming pool is fantastic. We ate in the restaurant, too big portions for us.

Nestled within the Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort, June Bug Café is a delightful counter-serve eatery that serves up a variety of American dishes, with a focus on vegan and vegetarian options. The café boasts an inviting and relaxed atmosphere in a charming rustic setting. With over two decades of experience, the café prides itself on using fresh, local, and organic ingredients sourced from the region.
Best ribs I’ve ever had. Steak was really good as well. Loved the mashed potatoes. Nice view and a good rustic vibe.

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.

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.
Arne V — Google review
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!!

First off and sort of camp restaurant needs a wood burning fireplace, and not only do they have one, they have couches so you can warm up and socialize! Menu changes everyday, and the food is good! The mixed berry pie was exceptional, and they hand it to you when you order it before your food, unless you say otherwise, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Usually I get a bit of side eye when I go for dessert first!! This is my favorite recommendation from the locals I’ve pestered!! Check it out!!

The bathrooms were super gross and it looked like someone peed all over the floor and it dried. No gaskets so you had to make your own out of tp, which is silly because that has to cost them more than providing gaskets would. There was a task sheet for the bathroom, but they rolled it up so you couldn't see what's supposed to be done and I checked it and hardly any of it was complete. There are also questionable dots all over the walls. Super gross and if this is the bathroom the employees have to use, it makes me wonder how safe it is to eat the food prepared here in the deli or bakery. The prices are also super high. Even the clearance baskets out front are more than I'd pay not on sale. Just because your store is in a food desert doesn't mean you should rob your customers who depend on you.

I recently visited Pioneer Market, and overall, it provided a decent shopping experience. One standout feature was their offering of Girl Scout yogurt, which added a unique and enjoyable touch to the dairy section. However, there were some aspects of the market that could be improved. The layout of the store felt a bit cluttered and disorganized, making it challenging to navigate through the aisles efficiently. Additionally, some areas seemed to lack variety in product selection, which may disappoint customers looking for a broader range of options. On the positive side, the staff at Pioneer Market were friendly and helpful, which contributed to a pleasant shopping atmosphere. The prices were also reasonable, making it a convenient option for everyday grocery needs. In conclusion, while Pioneer Market has its strengths, such as offering Girl Scout yogurt and providing friendly service, there are areas where it could enhance the overall shopping experience, particularly in terms of organization and product variety. Nonetheless, it remains a viable option for local grocery needs.

Our experience was very nice however the food quality was quite below the level I would have expected. Chicken wings had very little seasoning and sauce and the two larger wings in the order were raw and cool in Temp.🤮. Our main meal was ok just ok. Presentation was poor and flavor was just average. The food just needed a little bit more attention to flavor, seasoning and presentation. The food quality seemed good and fresh.The restaurant was empty other than another family of four so I don't understand the issue. Employee's were very friendly and attentive. The interior was beautifuly rustic and spotless. Pricing was fair and portions were good to above average. I don't think I'll be back to the restaurant until I've heard some changes have been made.

We were in Yosemite on a Friday night and everything was crowded with 1 hour+ wait times. Drove out of the valley to this peaceful resort and was given a 10 minute wait. The kids played in the game room while we waited to be seated. The food was better than anything I’ve eaten in Yosemite valley. Portions were fair. My teenage son loved his El Capitan Bison burger and struggled to finish it. You are paying full Yosemite prices, but that’s part of California. Other favorites in the family were the salmon and the fish and chips. We have a celiac/gluten-free in the family and they were able to accommodate our needs.

Good food close to Yosemite Valley. We stopped here on the way back from firefall viewing, and the food was extremely delicious. We started with chicken wings and tomato soup. Both were very delicious. The wings are spicy and come with a side of celery. For the main course we ordered black bean burger(surprisingly delicious), Philly cheese steak and poke. Except poke the rest came with a side of fries and the burger also has pickle. We came in extremely hungry and the portion size was so big that we had leftovers.
Vasisht R — Google review
Food was fine, but nothing I’d rate higher than “good.” It’s also a pretty room in a good location, which has led us to stop here a few times. Service on our last visit was atrocious, however. Our server (Dafinaa?) was totally indifferent to our table. Had trouble with our order. Wouldn’t split the check. Worse, we just could not get a refill on our drinks and our kids had to go to the bar just to get more lemonade — then even at the bar they first ignored our kids, and then me until I found a manager to step in. Really horrific as even our own waitress just stared at me when she came to the bar and ignored me when I said “excuse me,” although I can’t imagine how she noticed the empty cup. Upside is I didn’t have to pay for more drinks since she never came back to take an order for another round.

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this place absolutely earned it. The employee helping us was incredibly rude and completely disengaged. He seemed either stoned or just totally out of it—slurring words, moving slow, and way more interested in talking about his personal life stories than actually doing his job. At one point, there was a line forming and he was still mid-rant about something that happened to him “back in the day.” It felt like we walked into his therapy session, not a business. On top of that, everything is ridiculously overpriced for what you get. You're paying premium prices and getting bargain bin service—if any service at all. Honestly, it felt like a joke.

The Seven Tents Pavilion, also known as Curry Village Dining Pavilion, has recently undergone renovations to offer a more diverse dining experience. While still maintaining its simple menu, the pavilion now provides a variety of dining options. Guests can enjoy self-service with the convenience of paying at the cashier. With ample seating available, accommodating large groups is not an issue. The food quality is satisfactory and reasonably priced.
Went for breakfast the Tuesday after Labor Day. We'd stayed in Curry Village and were about to hike Vernal and Nevada falls, so this was convenient. The dining pavilion opens at 7am for breakfast and they serve some nice hot options. I had the burrito and my friend had the pancakes. It was all good. They have nice clean spacious restrooms right at the entrance. There are water refill stations both inside, and there's one with good flow right outside the gift shop / grocery store. Also pretty nice views outside in the morning light.

This place seems to be called Curry Village Dining Pavilion also. The place looks recently renovated. It used to be more traditional dining hall fares and settings. It now provides a bit more diverse dinning options on the menu, which is still quite simple. It's mostly self service except you still need to pay the cashier. There are plenty of seats in the dining area so accommodating large crowd does not seem like an issue. The food quality is ok and the price is reasonable. The dining experience will not be the highlight of the trip but at least it is not bad either.

I guess we got lucky coming here. I didn’t check the reviews before we arrived, as I didn’t have any phone service, so I had no expectations beyond my initial experience. After reviewing the place, I felt a bit of relief that we didn’t share the same experiences as some of the other reviewers. Fortunately, when we (five people in total) came to eat after a long hike, it was on a Monday late afternoon! The place was practically empty, so there were no lines for pizza or drinks at the bar. 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. We also grabbed two beers from the bar. I did notice a few people with more festive, extravagant pizza toppings, but the pepperoni was actually really good, and thankfully, none of us got sick! 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. I hope your experience is similar to ours and not like some of the others shared here!

Seven Tents in Yosemite National Park is a prime example of taking advantage of captive customers. Located in the Curry Village food court, this restaurant offers a limited menu of rotisserie chicken, pasta, and salads at high prices (given the poor quality of the food). The setup is cafeteria-style – you grab a tray, pick your food, pay at the counter, and then find a seat. Utensils are a free-for-all on the wall behind the cashier. Seating is first-come, first-served, and cleanup is entirely on you. Expect leftover food and dirty dishes on tables, especially during peak hours (which, in my case, was a packed summer night at 8:30 pm). Now, onto the most disappointing part – the food itself. I opted for the white sauce pasta with vegan meatballs, a whopping $15+ for a dish that was a culinary disaster. The pasta was severely undercooked, the sauce was barely a whisper, and the vegan meatballs were dry and flavorless. They offered a red sauce pasta with regular meatballs as well, but considering this experience, I wouldn't risk it. The only saving grace, and even that's a maybe, is the free wifi – but only if you're staying at Curry Village and have the magical promotion code they neglect to share anywhere. Overall, Seven Tents is a frustrating experience. Unless you're starving and have absolutely no other options, avoid it. Go to the pizza place right outside. I'd rather wait in line for that than go back to this restaurant.

Contributing to the previous review of Curry Village, I'm here to give my opinion of the on-site lunch restaurant. One of the employees unfriendlyly invited us to leave because it was 9:59 and they closed at 10:00, and there were still people ordering. Of course, the opening hours are understandable, but not the way she "invited" us to leave. The next day we went back earlier, but we were caught off guard by the same woman arguing with another family about the amount of food to serve a child, although the mother offered to pay more for a larger amount of food for her hungry son ( The woman didn’t serve more food for him ). If you plan to have breakfast here, I recommend going to the Yosemite Valley Lodge, which is cheaper and you can order from a kiosk machine without the rudeness of the staff.

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience. I ate breakfast here two days in a row. The food was fine, but the service was consistently unpleasant. On the first day, the man serving breakfast (wearing sunglasses) was very rude to me. When I didn’t ask in the “right” way, he actually shouted at me. The next day, the same thing happened again with a young woman serving. Both times, I felt disrespected and uncomfortable. Finally, when I paid, the cashier was also rude. He seemed patient and friendly with white customers, but not with me, which was very disappointing. Yosemite is such a beautiful and welcoming place, but unfortunately my experience at this restaurant was the opposite. I hope management addresses this, because no one should be treated this way.

We go to Yosemite every year once or twice. This was our place to eat. They always had a choice of fish, chicken and beef or pork with lots of different sides of great vegetables, a dinner roll with butter. A great salad bar, the still have that. Now no fish and no sides of vegetables, no dinner roll. I don't eat any other meat except fish. I loved all of there vegetables. Now we bring our own food and cook. I loved not needing to pack so much food and having to cook. Bring back the old menu Please. Or add fish and sides of vegetables. Thank you!

Nice and comfortable restaurant. Friendly staff, offered us hot water with honey on the side. Like the Charcuterie a lot, tasty meats and cheeses. The steak house burger is perfectly made and very filling tool

Nice Restaurant, well designed and decorated, friendly staff… but when it comes to food, unfortunately not good specially for a great hotel. We ordered burgers…. Very blend and very poor portion…. Side of coleslaw salad is attached. Definitely with a great staff and management, they could do better and they should do better. The price was fair for a hotel restaurant but definitely unfair for good quality and portions!!! The drinks were not bad !!!

I got the crab cake Benedict- DO NOT reccomend. The crab cakes really are just breading.. I really didn't get a bit of crab in mine.. the poached eggs also were cooked like, medium... typically Benedict eggs are poached soft so the yolk adds to the sauce... the hollandaise was extremely thick.. and not terribly flavorful. I asked for chorizo to be added in the hash browns - i did not enjoy this as much as I hoped it would. The steak bites appetizer was def worth it. I enjoyed the blue cheese & the bread pieces The Chile relleno a la carte was mediocre.. So best thing was the steak bite appetizer for sure. Staff and waiter super friendly and attentive.

My husband and I ate here for dinner and enjoyed some beers and cocktails at the bar and they were both fantastic. The food was exceptional and the staff tending to us on the bar were so friendly I can’t fault it! There were some cocktails that I’ve never even heard of and the bar tender executed them perfectly! 😍

Eaten here many times while staying at Tenaya. Food is good. The server Greg was great and the atmosphere in the adjoining dining area is rustic with touches of American Indian decor. Also has an outdoor patio for dining. A great experience.

After ordering the buffet we weren’t offered coffee or juice which is part of the buffet. I had to ask for it late into breakfast, which was disappointing. There is nothing special about the food. Scrambled eggs were just that, slightly overcooked. Sausages were plain. Waffles were ok and at least the syrup was hot. The interesting thing about this buffet is that other name brand hotels that offer complimentary breakfast also offer the same things but here it’s $25 per person. My son ordered French toast and it came with regular size bread. I’m used to Texas size bread and bread isn’t expensive. If you want to save money, get patty from the store and coffee from your room. Otherwise, lower your expectations for breakfast.

Food is expensive and not great. The burgers especially are bland and overpriced. Servers were nice and responsive, but the restaurant was understaffed which made service slow. The main highlight of the meal was the salad and poke-style nachos.

Food was great! In fact, it was amazing! Everything was perfectly cooked. Service was good! Server was very nice and polite. Unfortunately, it was so loud at this place. There weren't even that many people overall, I just think it might have terrible acoustics. It was almost impossible to have a conversation. The only other thing worth noting was the front desk/seating staff. The lady was kind of rude to us, and barely said hello. It seemed like a huge inconvenience that she had to seat people.

What a dinner! My family, friends and I were heading out from the Yosemite National Park, and we decided to stop by this place to eat dinner. The wait was pretty quick, didn't take too long to get a table for our group of 9. We sat down and was greeted by the waiter very quickly. She was very polite and nice to us. Our food came out very fast, and the portion sizes were very big for how much we paid! The food tasted absolutely incredible. I got the single best western burger, and my dad got the double. Be warned, the double is absolutely ginormous! Everything tasted amazing, and we were all nice and full. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out! Amazing service, amazing food, very nice place. 5 Stars. 100% recommend.

It was so good we went back the next night. All food was excellent except the oysters which my wife described as bland. The first night I had the 1LB burger, yes, that was a pound of meat in the picture. It was truly delicious. I didn’t take photos the next night and had the chicken Marsala which was very good.

The restaurant is in the Best Western Hotel and is open to the public. When we visited they were VERY busy and we did not have a reservation, but got given a table fairly quickly. The front of the house worked very efficiently with the waiters. The food arrived in a very reasonable time and it was awesome. The waiters were all very nice. We visited already 10 years ago and it was awesome then, it is nice to see they are still awesome. Definitely recommended if in Oakhurst!

Steak is so delicious and the breakfast is really decent (good variety). The personal is so friendly and they are cleaning the tables and everything constantly, I love that.

Smokehouse 41 BBQ is a popular casual dining spot known for its delicious smoked meats and hearty BBQ plates. The restaurant uses high-quality, all-natural meats and prepares its side dishes fresh every day. Chef Adam Hildebrand and Diana Sherwood have created a welcoming atmosphere where guests can enjoy top-notch service alongside their flavorful meals. Visitors rave about the perfectly smoked meat that's packed with flavor, particularly highlighting the exceptional tri-tip.
Amazing place! It gets pretty crowded in the evenings and that’s for a good reason! The ribs were amazing. The 41 baker with smoked sausage was soo delicious and not like what I’ve seen or tried in other places. Cole slaw was very basic and natural and good overall. The mac and cheese was quite underwhelming to my taste. Overall a full rack of ribs and the 41 baker is enough to feed two hungry people and leave them amazingly happy. This place is a must if you are a meat lover and are in town. The staff were great

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.

After my second plate of brisket, I had to stop and just take a moment to appreciate how much work must go into making all this food. You can taste the hours of effort that go into the smoking process, and that’s something I really respect. It’s a whole craft, and you can tell they take it seriously here. The meat is smoked right there on the property. You can notice the lovely aroma before you even step inside, and that sets the mood instantly. The menu has a lot to choose from, which I like. I’m a brisket person through and through, but even so, I had a hard time not getting distracted by everything else listed. There’s plenty of sides, too, so you can build yourself a plate that covers every craving, from something rich and cheesy to something a little lighter. After a long hike in Yosemite, this is exactly the kind of place you want to land in. You burn a bunch of calories on the trail, then come here to get some much needed protein. They’ve got plenty of seating, it’s comfortable inside, and the temperature is set just right too. It’s the kind of place where you could easily bring your whole group of friends or family and everyone would fit in fine. And yes, I brought home a little piece for my dog. All in all, I’m really glad a place like Smokehouse 41 exists here. It’s part of the community. It gives people somewhere to gather, relax, and enjoy food that’s clearly made with time and care. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Smokehouse 41.

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.

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.

We enjoyed our food here. I had the fish tacos and my husband had a burrito. Came in for lunch. The sauce in the fish tacos was a bit spicy for me. I should have asked for it "on the side" or maybe cut it down with some sour cream.

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.

I had the worst experience here on July 2nd. I’ve been to many national park gift shops, but this one was by far the worst. The cashier, a white woman, was very kind and friendly to the person in front of me, who seemed to work at the park. But when it was my turn, I said “Hello” to her first with a smile, and she didn’t respond at all. Instead, she frowned, rang up my items, only told me the total, and just stared at me as if I had done something wrong. I paid with my card, and she silently handed me the receipt without saying a single word. It honestly made me wonder if she treated me that way because I’m Asian.

Nestled just outside the Arch Rock Entrance of Yosemite National Park, El Portal Market is a delightful stop for travelers seeking convenience and quality. This well-stocked food market offers an array of essentials, from fresh coffee and pastries to premade sandwiches perfect for a picnic in the stunning surroundings. Whether you're looking to grab breakfast or dinner supplies like milk, eggs, and meats, El Portal has you covered.
As this is the only Market for miles, it is not to bad on pricing it grocery dry goods; however, I will never pay $2+ for a single Avocado. Had the split pea soup and it was okay. Nice place to get something to eat before going into Yosemite park.

Wish I could request an intense investigation of the employee on shift this A.M. when asking about a battery for my Key F.o.B he was absolutely mean to me and all of the guest prior to me. It is not any customers responsibility to take the emotional weight off of a 60 year old- very grumpy- old man. On the contrary, the woman at the gas station next door helped direct me to where I would be able to purchase one. Thankful for her as my car would not have restarted if I shut it of with the dead fob. Believe his name was Jordan. Also grateful for the hardware store in Mariposa as they got me the battery!

The Iron Door Saloon is a historic tavern that boasts being the oldest continuously operating saloon in California, with roots dating back to 1852. Located in Groveland, just a short drive from Yosemite Pines, this landmark offers American cuisine and a wide selection of beers. The old-fashioned ambiance sets the stage for live music and karaoke nights. Nearby accommodations cater to various preferences, including the romantic McCaffrey House known for its contemporary mountain home setting and pet-friendly environment.
This place is super cool. The atmosphere here is amazing. Lots of very unique things hanging from the ceiling and on the walls. The staff here is very friendly, professional and helpful. Did not have to wait to long for food after ordering. Everything tasted great. Worth the stop if you are in the area.

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.

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.

Restaurant
Happy Burger Diner is a delightful spot that captures the essence of retro dining with its vintage album covers adorning the walls, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. Located in Mariposa, this diner is renowned for its signature burgers and an extensive menu that caters to various dietary preferences, including plenty of vegetarian options. Guests rave about the juicy burger patties and diverse bread choices for sandwiches. The burritos are also a hit, perfectly balanced with sour cream, beans, rice, veggies, and cheese.
We decided to check this place out during our visit to Yosemite/auto camp stay near by. My kids and I enjoyed to local vibe and character of this restaurant. Food was great for diner standard. Hamburgers and onions rings were generous and not to be missed. Milk shakes were favorite of my kids. I had the fish taco. On the smaller side - only one taco per serving but I ended up getting two to make it a meal. The service can be slow so plan ahead - our order took about 40 min to come out - around 7 pm. Definitely recommend when visiting Mariposa area.

What a truly authentic and delightful diner! It is so clear as soon as you enter that the owners put so much heart, soul and sincere thought into every part of the diner. From offering a10% discount to seniors 55+ and veterans, to every dish being cooked from scratch--they advise you that your food will take between 20-30 minutes to be served--but it is so worth the wait!! They use excellent quality ingredients--I had a Denver omelet and it had real fresh cut cubes of ham and green and red peppers, onions and two cheese. Absolutely delicious! The roasted potatoes were crispy and fresh and the sourdough toast was exceptional. Even the coffee was excellent. Finally, the service was awesome and the staff were super attentive and friendly. I will make a point of coming back many times to come! Thank you!

On the way to Yosemite we were looking for a decent restaurant with an EV charger nearby. This area had one. Plugged in my car and walked a couple of minutes to have lunch here. The inside looked quaint and just like movies :-D We had ordered a sub sandwich (vegetarian) + salad, chicken ranch wrap + garlic fries + soda. The food tasted good. Veggie sub looked pale on the outside. Most likely it wasn't grilled on all sides. They have items clearly marked vegan and vegetarian. If you are strict vegetarian be sure to ask it at the counter as it seems all the vegetable oil is replaced with tallow (animal fat). Wasn't a fan of that but I didn't have any other option at that point. Overall it was a nice spot on the way to Yosemite and i may come back here again for a quiet meal while charging my car.

You can’t miss this place! The big happy face sign atop the building said “STOP HERE!” So we did. We were staying close to Mariposa for our Yosemite visit. Loved everything about HBD from the staff — friendly and they can hustle! The burgers! Huge and one of the bes. Decor — lots of old albums, local news, posters cover the walls and ceiling. Visitors and locals mix it up. Ordering is easy. Step up to the counter, tell the lady with a smile what you’re craving. Maybe a beer too. Select your table and soon a friendly server emerges from the kitchen — hollers your name and voila — you’ve got yourself a damn fine meal. The place is popular — worth the wait.

This place is a sleeper. Should be featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives. We had no idea what we were stepping into when staying in Mariposa on our trip to Yosemite, but this place was it. Although we had a limited selection from a huge menu, what we got did not disappoint. Having garlic bread as the bun of a burger (The garlic burger) is genius. The fries were crispy. The beer was cold. The atmosphere was a vibe. We did wait a bit for the food, but it was worth it.

Located in Mariposa, 1850 Restaurant and Brewery offers a vintage-inspired space where you can savor hand-cut steaks, juicy burgers, and crispy fried chicken alongside a selection of locally brewed beer and wine. The menu pays homage to California's Gold Rush era with dishes like traditional Bavarian pretzels, hearty baked mac and cheese, ahi nachos, and salmon cakes.
The food was mostly great. But the chicken strips were overcooked. Brewery's beer was good. Onion rings were Big. I had a double onion ring.

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.
Noom — Google review
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

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!

We had a great experience at Castillo’s Mexican Restaurant in Mariposa. The place has a welcoming, family-style atmosphere and friendly staff who made us feel right at home. We ordered the shredded beef burrito and the chimichanga, both were excellent! The shredded beef was tender and flavorful. The chimichanga was perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside. Everything tasted freshly made, and the portions were generous. Service was fast and attentive, and prices were reasonable for the quality and portion size. Overall, a great spot if you’re craving authentic Mexican food in Mariposa. We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in town!

Great suggestions by the staff to make our dinner gluten free. We do recommend the corn tacos and enchiladas. Stick with the shredded beef and sauteed vegetables, both were excellent. Their shredded chicken was ok flavoring but very dry. Skip the ground beef, it missed the mark.

White servers, English music, a “burrito” with tomatoes chopped to the size of an apricot, and unchopped salsa. I was so shocked I was laughing. My Mexican friends told me to run, but we’d already ordered food, so we stayed. It was quite the experience, and I wouldn’t recommend, unfortunately; unless you’re seeking a salad in your burrito and bland food - sorry Mariposa Castillo but it was laughable.

This is such a cool hole in the wall! Edgy, fun, lively, and plenty of ways to keep yourself entertained because let me tell you one thing you are gonna WAIT for your food. We ordered something basic that took super long during a busy night. Our young blonde guy server was kind enough to apologize and offer a free drink so we for sure appreciated that.

It was basically empty when we went but the atmosphere and history was awesome and we ordered what we thought was going to be standard bar food. The Baja tacos I got here were better than many mexican restaurants I've been to in actual Baja cities like Rosarito and Ensenada. They make their own kind tortilla that has a great texture and the fish and sauce was delicious and had the perfect spicy kick. They also have a great beer selection and the staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. I will 1000% come back here and try the rest of the menu.

The vegetarian coconut Ramen with grilled tofu was O MY GOD!!! The best I ever eaten. Tofu made in such a way that I enjoyed every piece of it (never before). Portion was just perfect for me (not too big to over eat, just right to feel happy). Broth was so balanced and rich. My mama said that it is the first food in America for her that she truly enjoyed. And the tables outside in the porch made me enjoying the time of waiting. If again in Mariposa - I will be there for Ramen!

It was a pleasant surprise to find a ramen spot like this in a small mountain town! We ordered the Miso Ramen and the She-Me Ramen. Both came out nicely presented, and the broth was flavorful, rich, and well-balanced, not too salty, just the right amount of depth. The noodles were a bit different from traditional ramen, more like soba noodles, but they worked well with the soup. The restaurant itself is cozy, with a clean and simple setup. Service was friendly and polite. It took about 20 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering, which felt a little long since it wasn’t too busy, but the quality made up for the wait. Overall, a great little find in Mariposa! If you’re looking for something warm and comforting besides the usual burgers or pizza around town, this place is definitely worth a try.

If you are American, you will love it. But if you are Asian, avoid this place at all costs. The ramen is nothing authentic but a weird fusion with American style. Noodle is definitely undercooked which is difficult to chew. It’s like putting pasta into soup. The soft boiled egg is over-marinated and salty. Charshu is pretty okay but it only comes with one slice given this price. Don’t hold high hope for a real ramen here in Yosemite.

Excellent breakfast option in Mariposa! I had their delicious breakfast sammie and lovely Happy Camper latte - everything was SO good - service was friendly and prices were decent too. The breakfast sammie is eggs, bacon, cheese, and avocado with an unexpected but fantastic bit of pickled peppers for a delightful little kick. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in California and would definitely recommend! And how could I resist their Happy Camper Latte? Anyone that knows me knows I love all things marshmallow and this was phenomenal! It’s basically a s’mores flavored latte that comes topped with two giant, perfectly toasted marshmallows. I got it iced - the coffee was smooth and it was surprisingly not overly sweet - It was heavenly! I loved their location too - the little town of Mariposa is very walkable and Sticks is located right at the entrance of the cute River Rock Inn. They had a cozy ambiance with plenty of inside seating as well as a few outside tables surrounded by plants and flowers with views of the town. If you’re staying at the River Rock Inn, you get 20% off your breakfast from 7-10am as well so that’s pretty cool! I stayed nearby while visiting Yosemite but would consider staying here next time - and will definitely be back for breakfast next time I’m in town!

I only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the ambiance! Not pictured: the delicious frozen lemon bars we devoured in about five seconds flat.

Definition of "hidden gem" that is right in front of you. Snuggled in a garden environment of nature, it has tucked away a variety of local treats. A boutique of sorts with art, clothing, and more. The house is full of options and fun. The service is always super friendly and helpful. I truly enjoy supporting local businesses like this one.

The food was delicious but too pricy for the small size, especially the quiche of the day. On top of that, half of the menus weren't available. But the rooms are cozy, the atmosphere is nice.

This is a beloved and favorite coffee shop for our little family. We stopped in yesterday for cake and something sort of new breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Seating is now comfy sofas and the drip coffee is self serve. Which sets the tone for this place sit awhile and drink your coffee. im not entirely sure they still roast their own coffee but at one point they did and the smell was glorious! The memories here for our family are rich and beautiful and we love you pony espresso and we will see you next time

Stopped in here for coffee after a few days hiking in Yosemite, great coffee and service. The coffee was so good I went back and got a 1/2lb fresh ground to enjoy on our Californian road trip. It was just as delicious in my aeropress. Thank you for the friendly service and we will be back when we return to your beautiful part of the world.

We discovered this restaurant on our way to Yosemite National Park. Since we departed to the park quite early, and the restaurant was open early, we had breakfast and coffee there. The owner was very friendly, the coffee was excellent, very fragrant, and the breakfast sandwiches were much better than those at fast food restaurants. Surprisingly, the overall price was cheaper than fast food, and the restaurant's decor was quite unique; you could tell the owner must really like ponies, haha.

What an incredible venue, right in the heart of Mariposa. The food and beer menu was really fantastic. We were thrilled to catch Arlo McKinley play a show here. Hats off to the owner Nate. He was so welcoming and he really does an excellent job with the music lineups at his venue. We can't wait to get back up to Yosemite and catch another show! If you are visiting the area, you can't miss checking out The Grove House.

Customers appreciate the helpful staff and the option for unlimited soft drink refills. The medium sausage, onion, and green peppers pizza with extra pizza sauce is particularly praised for being hot, generously topped, and well-cooked.
Loved the pizzas here. Ate here 2 days in a row. The sundried tomatoes+mushroom in pesto sauce was too damn good. The small one tasted better than the large tho.

I got back from a long day of hiking and didn't feel like driving to Mariposa for dinner. I went right when they opened and got a small (7", 4 slices) River Special. Came out pretty fast, maybe 15 minutes? Crispy crust. Decent pizza. Not worth $18 though. But, I guess I'm paying for convenience.
Sylvia D — Google review
Great pizza and fair price for location and the fact there is not many options within 30-40 minutes. Pizza had a great crispness to the very bottom of the crust and was perfectly cooked. Had great flavor, especially the chicken Alfredo pizza. Employees were very friendly.
Ashley L — Google review
Pizza was pretty good and staff was attentive and helpful. Crust was cooked well and the pizza had good flavor overall. Personally, I thought there was too much cheese and it overpowered the taste of the pizza sauce and other ingredients, but my wife thought it was fine. The interior is dingy and dirty - not a place you really want to sit and eat. Ironically for a pizza place, you have to ask for parmesan and red pepper flakes. They have a side table with ketchup, mayo, mustard, and soy sauce. Not sure why those are there and why the basic pizza toppings aren’t. I saw multiple people look confused and ask for parmesan and red pepper flakes. Paid $53 for two medium pizzas which is way overpriced but expected in this area.
Randall P — Google review
Mixed experience at Parkside Pizza. The pizza crust was actually really good - nice texture and flavor that showed they know how to make a proper base.Unfortunately, they went way overboard with the cheese. It was just too much and overwhelmed everything else on the pizza. What could have been a great pizza ended up being just okay because of the cheese overload.The space is pretty cramped with not much room to sit, and it's not cozy at all. Feels more like grabbing a quick bite than enjoying a meal in a comfortable setting.

We ate here twice whilst staying at Yosemite View Lodge (the hotel that this restaurant is located at). The pizzas are REALLY good, they are expensive in my opinion (about $25 once you add a few toppings) but there are very limited options in the area. We tried a pepperoni pizza one evening and a pesto chicken the next. The staff are helpful and they offer unlimited refills on soft drinks and all the condiments you could want. There is also a nice outdoor seating area which we ate at one evening and the other we took the pizza back to our room balcony. I would definitely suggest eating here over the restaurant next door.

Jerry now Jerry, I am not a big coffee person, but I think I just became one and let me tell you you’ve never had a cup of coffee until Jerry has made you one. We had bought two bags but decided to come back for a different flavor we literally couldn’t stop smelling the fresh coffee beans just made.

A hidden gem with heart and rustic charm, Mariposa coffee is the real deal. We stumbled upon Mariposa coffee and it’s safe to say we’re hooked. This is a family owned coffee shop. There’s a sense of care and authenticity that you just don’t find in most coffee shops thanks to Gerry the owner. Gerry is incredible at his coffee roasting craft and Jordan was amazing at the counter sharing expertise about their coffee. Jordan took her time to help guide our coffee selection. They are warm, welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. Their coffee is fresh, delicious and most importantly non-toxic. You can truly feel the difference. No jittery crash, no weird aftertaste, just smooth, rich flavor that speaks of real quality and ethical sourcing. We ended up buying a ton of beans, not just for ourselves, but as gifts for our friends and family too! Everyone we’ve shared it with has had the same reaction, “Where did you get this coffee?” Mariposa coffee isn’t just a place, it’s an experience. It’s rare to find something that feels deeply personal and professionally excellent, but Gerry has created exactly that. Thanks for the awesome coffee Gerry & Jordan!

This is a coffee roasters NOT a coffee shop. However, when we surprised the owner on a weekday afternoon, he was gracious enough to brew us coffee in his house (which is behind the shop) and bring it to the shop in to-go cups. He told us how he started the company 21 years and got his big break when Yosemite National Park asked him to cater an event. Lots of cute things in the shop - t-shirts, books by his daughter (a local author) and of course, many types of coffee.

Nice small town local bar with great atmosphere and service! The pizza was a bit too pricey imo and I wasn't a big fan of the crust (I prefer crusts with more gluten development). Also, all the pizzas were the same price which felt strange. A margherita pizza should be cheaper than a pizza with 5 toppings.

The market is cute. Not a lot of options. But not totally unreasonable prices given where it is. I saw one of the workers (kind of an older guy) throw his cigarette on the ground outside and walk away from it.

You know what is a total treat? Being able to get a reliable coffee beverage early in the morning in YOSEMITE! While all the other food choices are mostly the work of Aramark and therefore somewhat bland, this is Peet's Coffee. I may prefer Starbucks but Peet's comes in a close second. This is located in what used to be Coffee Corner in the Curry Village dining area. It had a bit of a line but it moved fast and I had my iced tuxedo mocha with an extra shot in less than 10 minutes. The employees were cheery and helpful...and my coffee was superb. The only reason I give it 4 stars is due to the fact that it's located in Curry Village...which means if you're at the Ahwahnee like I was or the Yosemite Lodge you're gonna need to walk, bike or drive. It only took me 10-15 minutes of strolling through the most beautiful place on earth to get the morning drink I was craving.

THIS IS THE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PLACE I HAVE EVER WENT TO IN MY LIFE. I ordered a burrito i said no tomatoes and just right after i ordered i went back and said no onions, the lady told me my burrito was done already so i would have onions on my burrito so i waited 5 minutes my burrito was still not out i asked her if its not done please no onions she continued to tell me my food was done, my food never came out so i told her i would like a refund she told me she has to call the owner to refund me because she couldn’t do it. I told her i was on lunch and i was on limited time the lady ONCE again lied and told me the owner is 2 minutes away the owner(Jessica)didnt show up until 10 minutes later when she got there she was yelling and cussing me out told me she refunded my money i asked for a receipt she told me it was digital and she would have to send it to my phone never came i told her i need some type proof my money was going to be refunded back to my debit card since she couldnt give me cash. She couldn’t send receipt for watever reason so she said she was going to screenshot from her phone and send it to me directly i asked to see the last four number on the card come to find out it wasnt my card. She trying to tell me i used America Express i told her i used my debit card i dont have america express, so after i was at the truck for over 30 minutes she decided to give me my money back in cash which ive been asking for smh wasted my whole lunch and they food is definitely not all that its really giving two stars. because if sal was open on weekends i definitely would have went there like always never going back there again. Thank you Jessica for being so rude and disrespectful to me after i came to spend my money with you may god bless you on how to be a professional owner and not a ghetto one

We stopped in Mariposa after driving down 49 and needed stretch our legs and walk the dogs. Luckily we came across this taco truck behind the museum. The staff were super friendly and they kindly gave a homeless man some food and drink for free. We ordered a pastor burrito and an asada burrito supreme. Both came out quickly and for a small burrito, the pastor burrito was quite a good size. Just meat, cheese, onion, and cilantro. The pastor was seasoned super nice and almost a bit sweet, but perfectly balanced with the onion and cilantro. The asada burrito supreme definitely lived up to its name. The hot salsa left a nice lingering spice that was occasionally cooled by a bite with sour cream. The asada was delicious as well, but not quite as good as the pastor. I'm glad we stopped here and walked around to find this place.

Grocery store
Souvenir store
Curry Village Gift and Grocery is a convenient store located in Yosemite Village, offering a surprising variety of supplies. The store stocks everything from clothing and equipment for outdoor activities to backpacking supplies, maps, and dehydrated food. It's well-known for its great selection of drinks, including hard apple ciders and liquors, as well as gluten-free cookie options. Visitors appreciate the reasonable food prices but note that some items like posters and Christmas ornaments are overpriced.
Surprisingly well-stocked with great varieties, especially when it comes to drinks. Pretty amazing really. This is definitely not your grandad's or even your dad's idea of a general store at a camp site. I was so amused by what they had in the store that I took several pictures - look they have hard apple ciders! Omg they have hard liquors! And the cookies come in gluten free varieties. If you come here and shop for food to cook at your camp site, you will not be subjugated to "camping food" for sure. The best and most clever display shelf is the s'mores collection. Nicely done!

There is a small selection of food and gifts here. Everything is overpriced, but sometimes you have no choice. Lots of empty space on the shelves. The store is clean and bright inside. The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. There is some cool stuff in here if you are willing to pay the price.
Marc C — Google review
I give 5 stars just because the Food Prices are very reasonable for where you are. Paper bags for cold drinks is just plane stupid! Some prices like the posters, Xmas ornaments etc are wildly overpriced and we will just order online.

The Ahwahnee Bar, located within the historic Ahwahnee Hotel, is a stylish and stone-lined bar that offers elevated pub plates and cocktails. It's the perfect place to unwind after exploring the hotel and its surroundings. The bar is known for its carefully-crafted drinks, decor, and architecture, adding depth to the overall experience of visiting Yosemite Valley.
This is a nice place to have a drink or get a quick bite in a relax comfortable setting. The service is very good. We had an excellent lunch here before setting out to the Mirror Lake. The food quality is good and at a premium price. We enjoyed the overall service, food and atmosphere very much. We'll be coming back every time we come to Yosemite.

Short rib melt was delicious. The tomato shallot jam was a great addition. The pretzels were great too. Also, try the vegetarian chili - a little bit of a kick, and flavorful too. Incredible old fashioned; they really know how to make it! Patricia was our server. Kind and attentive. We really appreciate her.
Richard — Google review
Very busy, but most customers wanted a drink for outside the patio. We were seated at the bar immediately. Bartenders were extremely busy, but took care of us shortly. We had a shrimp cocktail, meatballs, blond ale and a cocktail. Wonderful stop before the ride home!
Edmund L — Google review
The Ahwahnee Bar was a fantastic find! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of good food on the menu, especially since it wasn’t just the usual burger fare. Every dish I tried was delicious, with great flavors and quality ingredients. The drinks were equally impressive, perfectly complementing the meal. What really stood out was the cozy atmosphere—comfortable seating in a relaxed setting that made it easy to unwind and enjoy the experience. The prices were quite reasonable, too, especially considering the quality of both the food and service. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in the area.

Myself and my husband recently visited the Ahwahnee to eat lunch in the dining room, however it was already closed by the time we arrived. We instead opted to grab lunch at the bar, which was still open. Our server was great, a young woman with long black hair. The food was acceptable. However, one of the employees, a man named Tim, was horrific. We couldn’t find our server so we tried to flag him down for some water since he was stood near one of the computers, not doing anything. He attempted to pretend he didn’t hear us, until we finally loudly said “EXCUSE ME”. He finally came over then, and told us that our server would bring us water. We told him that we couldn’t see her and asked again, to which he begrudgingly brought over a pitcher to fill our waters. He then returned to the computer to loudly complain about “entitled guests” to another server. When our server did return we asked for his name and she apologized for his behavior, which she shouldn’t have to do as it wasn’t her fault for his poor attitude. She is the only reason for this review being anything more than 1 star. For a place as nice (and expensive) as the Ahwahnee I am SHOCKED they would allow such behavior from their staff.

We dropped by for a cocktail and light lunch. The Ahwahnee Bar is beautiful and the staff kind and thoughtful. Service was delightful and care was taken to help with menu changes to suit our needs. Ambience beautiful with the snow capped trees out of the tall windows. The lounge areas in the hotel have cozy fireplace seating and is very inviting.

They are not serving food at the bar at this time. Debby was a fun server. She'll get what you need. They should really consider opening at 3:00pm. People arrive early before check in, so it would be nice if they could grab a drink while they wait for their room.

Drinks and food are top-notch. The ambience and old feel make us want to talk for hours as we enjoy our beverages and delicious treats. Definitely a must do if you visit the valley floor. You won't be disappointed

The Loft at Degnan's is a charming A-frame restaurant located in Yosemite, featuring large windows and a cozy fireplace. It offers a variety of pub fare and has an assortment of beers on tap. After exploring the area, visitors can enjoy artisan pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and more at Degnans Kitchen or The Loft. Additionally, the location provides bike rentals for those looking to explore the flat valley floor with over 12 miles of trails.
This is probably one of the better places to stop and pack up for last minute snacks and meals on the trails. Coffee Bean is located inside along with premade packaged meals. I got the ham and swiss sandwich along with a southwest chicken sandwich. Can't forget the extra hydration of Powerade. Also, if you need water get it here!!! Their dispensers inside the food court area have the best water in the state! No joke! Expect there to be delays in parking as it gets busy during peak hours.

Friendly service and atmosphere. The fireplaces are fantastic! However, the food (we got rice bowls) were seriously lacking. The bathrooms were clean, way nicer than the public ones nearby. Good price on beer and cider.
Jolee E — Google review
The Loft is now for employees only?! It's great for employees to have a place to hang out, but Aramark should have updated the Google Maps info so we didn't get our hopes up. This place used to have great pizza. Be warned that this may now be permanently closed to be public. I was really looking forward to this on our trip to Yosemite!

The Loft with the A-frame view is no longer open, don’t let the photos fool you! It has been converted to employee space because their employee area was at risk of avalanche. They also don’t serve pizza…

The Loft (and Degnan’s in general) are an awesome spot in Yosemite Valley. Great coffee, food options, and a couple of cozy fireplaces to warm up next to after chilly hikes.

Relaxing environment after a long hike. The dishes are MASSIVE and for a very reasonable price. Quick service too!
Stan Y — Google review
This place was a breath of fresh air after eating greasy, fast food all week. They serve fresh healthy food which tasted amazing after a long day of hiking. I got a teriyaki chicken bowl which was amazing, it was so fresh and so refreshing. The rest of my family got a burrito, and a beef bowl. They also loved what they got! The staff was friendly and the food came out very quickly which was nice because we were starving. The place was not busy for lunch or dinner (we went for both in one day!) For dinner we got nachos, tacos, and chips and salsa which was delicious as well. I would suggest this to anyone in Yosemite!

The Tuolumne Meadows Lodge Dining Room is a breakfast eatery situated in the picturesque vicinity of Tuolumne Meadows. This charming establishment caters to early morning cravings, offering a variety of delectable dishes to start the day off right. Patrons can indulge in a diverse selection of appetizing options, ranging from tasty fare that includes eggs, pancakes, and cereals to mouthwatering treats like pastries and fruits.
This place is a fantastic restaurant in tuolomne meadows. It is probably the best place to get food in all of yosemite national park. The dishes are pretty high end- we had the Cajun shrimp penne pasta and the pan roasted trout with capers and almonds and they were both really good. So this place used to be a high Sierra camp spot so the atmosphere is super communal. The tables are large so you get to sit with other guests at the same table. Call ahead to make reservations, Saturdays are pretty crowded. Overall a super fun place to eat in the high country of yosemite.

Pappagallos Pizzeria Restaurant is a cozy Italian and Mediterranean eatery with a casual atmosphere. Visitors rave about the amazing food and excellent service, particularly highlighting dishes like Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken, Chicken Marsala, Margherita pizza, Penne Vodka with chicken, and Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti. The restaurant's clean and homey interior creates a relaxing ambiance for diners to enjoy their meals.
If you're anywhere near this gem you must go dine in!!! The food is absolutely amazing and the service with Adam superb. As we ate our appetizers we knew we made the right choice. My coworker is from Kentucky and I'm from Knoxville, TN. You can guarantee if I'm ever in this area again I promise I'll be back. We had the mozzarella sticks, salad and bread as an appetizer. This already had my mouth watering as we waited for our main dish. I had the Fettuccine Alfred with grilled chicken. My coworker had the Chicken Marsala. The portions are very large and worth every cent. I highly recommend you check them out!!!

What a great place! I came with my husband tonight & sat outside and the ambiance was so relaxing. The inside was so clean and felt so homey. We were recommended the Penne Vodka with chicken and the Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti. So delicious ! The Tres Leche dessert was so rich and the carrot cake was so moist definitely coming back for more.
Angelica L — Google review
New place great reviews so me and my sister went to check it out. It really holds up to the reviews, amazing service & amazing food. -Pizza- we had the Margherita pizza. Sauce was sweet tangy and fresh, I personally wish there was more basil. I can just imagine how good the calzone here is by that pizza. This pizza is very addictive, it’s been a few hours and I’m still craving that pizza no matter how full I am -With our orders we had a side salad with bread & balsamic vinegar. Honestly, the sauce was amazing like everything, the attention to detail here is just awesome, warm bread came with garlic oil that was just prefect -Linguini With Clams (white sauce): this was my sisters order, she wished it was saltier but when I tasted it, it was nice and very buttery. - Grill Salmon Special- I loved how lemony this dish was and how everything just works together. Very generous with portions and the size of the salmon. I love how simple this dish is and how delicious it is. Desserts- very sweet They didn’t have Tiramisu when we went but the tres leche cake was still amazing. Very creamy and sweet. The frosting I believe had a bit of cream cheese that helps cut the sweetness but still very sweet. Second dessert I believe it’s the Baklava, very flakey, honestly would be prefect as a breakfast dessert. It was a bit too sweet for my liking but I loved how flakey it is. Would 100% recommend people to try here, I need another bite of that pizza

I found this place by just looking up “pizza shops near me” and boy am I glad to have done so. Their white pizza that I got with extra garlic was delicious, the mozzarella sticks also fantastic and to top it off I called to tell them the food was fantastic and the owner hand delivered a free desert to me. It was carrot cake and it was also amazing. You really can’t get better service and food for the price. Highly recommend and my roommates and I will be ordering again for sure!!

Pappagallos has become our full time pizza spot. The menu offers all sorts of pizza options from Big Mac to chicken vodka. We love the cheesesteak pappagallos and any of the soups. The salads are made fresh to order and you can choose a protein to add. Nice outdoor seating right on Raritan. We feel just like family when we visit.

Great place to stop and dine-in. The food is served like a real Italian dine in rather then a cheesy pizzeria 😂😂😂 The food was great, it was super clean and the owner is very friendly as his staff is also. First time here. FOUR STARS (I don’t believe in perfection)
