Hope Valley Bar and Grill was open when everything else around wasn't. Basic bar menu with a few desserts. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We had buffalo chicken wraps with fries. Decent serving size, and a slice each of apple and peach pie. Dove into the pies before we got a pictures. Oh, well. As you can see, we finished them off.

The food was excellent, the vibe was chill, and the people were friendly. Came down from a weekend of camping at showers lake with our dogs and we were all craving a burger (and beers for the humans). HV Bar&Grill did not disappoint! The lone guy working was awesome and even made some pup pattys for our dogs, serving them cut up on a metal tray.

Can't say enough about this place. The owner was so nice! I had the special and it was great! Good wine. My son loved the selection of beer. Roomy, clean, and service was great! A must stop over between Fresno and Mariposa!
Nice, clean, friendly nook to grab a cold one and some wings. They sell car tire cables, at a reasonable price.
Very cozy and friendly spot with delicious burgers and pulled pork sandwiches.

So sad to see what has happened to one of my favorite spots in Hope Valley for over 20 years. The Hope Valley Cafe was one of the best bakery/sandwich shops. Yes, it was recently taken over but that’s no reason the “resort” can’t find a decent baker and gourmet sandwich chef. Even have a local area baker deliver. Today, I purchased a pumpkin scone which was very expensive so I thought it would be like it use to be, delicious. Not even close it was gross. It was like eating cooked bland dough, no flavor at all! No love into baking that, baked with hate even. Not anything close to what this place use to be like. We have given it a couple different try’s the last 12 months hoping it would get better after the pandemic. Nope. It’s like going into a deserted cave with no life. Very dark. There use to be a great store with local art, photography, groceries, seasonal items, fishing stuff, etc. Now it’s depressing, only ugly clothing that no one will buy. I guess the spirit of the place was the awesome baker that was there forever… The “pie lady of hope valley” is greatly missed. The lady that worked for her I believe has taken over and can’t bake and is rude and mean. We were surprised she was still there truthfully. it’s sad to see what has happened to such a great spot. I really hope Management reads this and wants to get it going again, locals can help! Lol I would even Manage it! ? just saying find someone that cares. You can tell it’s not cared for like it use to be. We won’t be going back until next year hopefully it’s better one day. Still hoping I guess. (Posting this review on other sites)
One of my favorite spots for lunch and a beer in the Tahoe Basin, particularly after riding a bike or cross country skiing through Hope Valley. The head chef and hostess, Letty, makes a stop here especially fun. Letty makes delicious pies, cookies, hamburgers and Tacos, which you can wash down with beer on tap from South Shore Brewery. Letty also makes the best french fries (IMHO) in the area. I would travel up from Lake Tahoe just for the fries and a fun conversation with Letty!!
