After a day at Yosemite we had dinner here and ordered the burger with cheese and the chicken wings.Chicken wings were very good - both in taste and quantity! Burger was a classic American burger nothing too fancy but good!Prices were absolutely ok given the location close to Yosemite and the lack of food options in this area.In my opinion the place was charming - has some American bar / dinner vibes with a pool table in the middle of the place and a music box.Service was good and quick!

My wife and I had a good meal while staying at Yosemite Cedar Lodge. There was only one person running the bar and serving along with one cook. They both did a great job and got our food and order in a timely manner. Most of the food is American or fried so it would be nice if they had some other options too like pasta (as an example). Food is also a little expensive per person, but was good otherwise. Menu is on Google photos for the place if you want to see what they have.

The Pepsi we ordered was literally water. I am not sure if it was the machine but this one seemed like diluted Pepsi !!!They did mention unlimited refills but what is the point when you add water !!!Vegetarian options: I could see one vegetarian option on the menu and French fries !!Parking: On the Lodge premises

Better than what I expected from such a place.Cashier who spoke in perfect English, more British than American.Great fries as well as the three pieces of chicken and friendly, polite service.You enter and take the menu to order directly at the cash desk, you are given a number and sit down, the waitress will arrive with your order as soon as it is ready.

Typical bar food - burgers, nachos, wings, fries. Nothing special but it was as expected for a place like this. A little on the expensive side. All of the staff was friendly.

(Translated by Google) Simple dinner at a completely overpriced price. One hamburger and two side dishes with two drinks $75. The food was plentiful and delicious.(Original)Einfaches Dinner zu völlig überteuertem Preis. Einmal Hamburger und zwei Beilagen mit zwei Getränken 75$. Das essen war reichlich jnd lecker.

The place was almost totally dead when we were there. They didn’t actually have in stock about half of what was on the menu, so after being turned down on a bunch of things, we ended up getting two extremely expensive burgers with fries. The burgers came out with gray tomatoes (I didn’t even know a tomato could be gray) and cold fries. They then had to do our orders again because they made the wrong burgers by mistake. We should have seen the red flag and left when we were first ordering and the cashier asked if we wanted our ground beef patties cooked “rare, medium rare, or medium.”I know there’s not a lot of places to eat around here, but I would opt for something else. (The grocery store deli in Mariposa might be a better bet.)

2 stars for the friendly and nice staff. Food is not good.

We stayed at the hotel in the same parking lot as this restaurant (not sure if they're owned by the same people). The food is so over priced for the quality. They have basic bar, fried food such as wings, onion rings, and Mac and cheese bites. The service was friendly and quick.

Customer service couldn't be worse. At first, I was highly amused by the cashier. As she took my order, she kept complaining to me about low tippers while she glared at patrons sitting next to the windows. After I ordered, she proceeded to complain to the next guest and tsk as they walked off. Despite this, I decided to go back for dinner the next night- this time, there was no cashier in sight. I had to ask a cook to help me look for another staff member to take my order. Food was just okay (quite over priced for the quality, but it's the only restaurant near by). I gave this place 2 tries. Won't be giving it another.

We had fish&chips and hot wings. Food is delicious and the host is very friendly. Good dinning place when you stay at Yosemite Cedar Lodge!

Food was basic/mediocre. Service was hit or miss. The lady that greeted us when we entered was very sweet and friendly. The bartender behind the bar was very standoffish. There's a huge sign that said to order at the bar so I walked over there to order. I asked could I order? She gave me a weird look and said okayyyyy. I'm just trying to follow directions here.

My family ate at this restaurant just outside the entrance to Yosemite park because we stayed at the hotel next door. The food was fantastic and fresh off the grill. It was a pleasant surprising find after a long day of traveling. The fried green beans and mushrooms were great. The place was busy so expect a slight delay in getting the food but well worth the wait.
