Food was not bad, same with the scenery. But coming in as a group of 4, we waited over an hour for our burgers and to top it off, got charged with 3 sodas we did not order. If you have a busy day ahead I wouldn't recommend this place. If you have time to spare and don't mind the wait time, do it for the experience right? My friends and I experienced it and we will pass on this place next time.

I go here every time I pass it, great burger, great service, great house made chips. Perfect outdoor seating and great value for the area.

Nice location and view. Inside and outside seating. Service is very slow. Staff is nice but takes a long time for food to come after ordering. Took 45 min last time for food to arrive after ordering. This means it’s about an hour after you arrive before you even get your food. This time I just left 45 minutes after I ordered because it still seemed it would be quite a bit longer.

A place where mostly the locals go. The food is of a simple home-made kind, which is exactly what we needed after a long day of travelling. The prices are a bit higher than I expected them to be. The location is very beautiful. There are cozy murals and in warmer weather I would recommend sitting on the outdoor terrace to enjoy the view. The entrees are very plain (not a bad thing depending on what you want) but the burgers seem to be their specialty and the most flavorful part of the menu.

It's an ok restaurant. Nothing special as far as I'm concerned. My children sandwich was decent.

Small, but cozy. They have a terrific, varied menu, and everything we tried (brisket sandwich and chicken club) was delicious! It's just a little too cramped inside, so outside seating is recommended!

Great location and view. We went for breakfast on black Friday day. I guess they had a shorter menu than regular menu.
The food was okay. We did not like the pancakes. We will try this place again when they will have entire menu.

A perfect place to pause before taking on Old Priest Grade. Priest Station Café is welcoming, relaxed, and a great spot to grab a cool drink and catch your breath before (or after!) the steep drive. The view is beautiful, the atmosphere is friendly, and it’s one of those classic Sierra stops that just feels right. A little gem on the way up the mountain.

Nice view and vegan options

Only stopped for coffee and a piece of pie. My wife thought she would have tea instead of coffee and was asked if she wanted hot or cold. She said hot and the question was repeated and answered again. My coffee arrived with a piece of cheesecake I had ordered. My wife however was presented with a cup of cold water and a tea bag. We pointed it out to the waitress and then waited for almost ten minutes for hot water. The cheesecake was average but the issue was what we noticed after finishing our drinks. Neither of the mugs had been properly cleaned and still had marks from previous drinks in them. Not recommended

Not traditional steak frittas. It's just a steak and not cut.

Went for a late lunch on the way to Yosemite and were completely blown away by the menu choices, kind and wonderful service and atmosphere outside and delicious food! Four of us each got something different and we were all delighted! Outside tables in both sun or shade. Truly gracious and lovely staff. My daughter has been several times before and she was excited to share the adventure! Highly recommend and look forward to going back to this wonderful spot that has been owned by the same family for 5 generations!
