Restaurants in Yosemite Valley

“Amazing pizza and affordable price. The deck is small for the amount of people eating, and I wasn’t even in the summer, I have no idea how they can manage that during vacations.”

“Had a business meeting with 5 employees and the food and atmosphere were perfect. There were vegetarian options for one of my coworkers and all parties said their meals were great.”

“We have enjoyed this lounge on two different trips to Yosemite Lodge with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. However, the 2026 visit was a little disappointing with an odd menu, marginal food quality , and no fire in the fire pit. Bring back the pub menu! 86 the Brie and confit! Gimme a burger.”

“Found this late after overpaying for food in the gift shop which is in the front of the building.

They have different choices each day and prices were not bad for what you get. The food was actually pretty good, but that could have been we were just back from a day of hiking and were starving?

Staff are mostly friendly, we did get a older guy on the last day that didn't seen to be enjoying his job, but the younger staff were all friendly and willing to chat when they weren't busy, they are a great resource for pointers and suggestions on places to see while there.”

“A bit outdated … but that’s the charm! Great family/large group stay. Basecamp cafeteria perfect for quick sandwiches or full meal. Centralized in the Valley. Highly recommend.”

“We were so grateful to have lunch here between our Yosemite adventures. I really enjoyed my Pastrami on Rye and my wife really enjoyed her Salmon sandwich.

The soda was a bit flat but the customer service was excellent and the staff started immediately working on fixing the soda machine as soon as I told them.

And of course, eating at the tables outside provides a wonderful atmosphere. Just be sure to follow the signs and NOT feed the birds / wildlife.”

“I can understand why some reviews are frustrated but we had a fantastic time. If the park is busy, it will be busy and slow here as well. That said our bartender was amazing, quick, and attentive. The chicken sandwich and Blondie were above average but not spectacular, every mixed drink we had was above average. A little expensive for what you get but it's in line with being in a big city or theme park. All in all good find... And the bar is a good place to get away from kids.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Mountain dining comes with a different mindset ⛰️🍽️
Don’t expect too much — sometimes, being warm, full, and surrounded by nature is already more than enough 😌✨”

“The bar is conveniently located in the hotel. The drinks are great and the service is very good. The food is barley good. They had a spectacular menu but it has been completely changed.”

“There was a long line when we went but the service was great. We waited less than 5 minutes. I like my Pecan crunch oatmeal latte. The staff were really friendly.”

“Beautiful dinning hall with colonial era vibe. Everything tasted so fresh and tasty.

Our servers were so humble and friendly and accommodated our request for vegetarian, with no egg food.

They will try to customize the dish if possible”
