7 Best American Restaurants in Yosemite Valley

“Overall the experience was good (2nd meal in 4 days there). The server was great but staffing was short and the bar was being refurbished. So, no cocktail and they forgot the salad. Despite excellent pacing two days ago, this night was a miss. That said, the server was excellent and the food tasted great. The steak was tasty and cooked to perfection and to the requested warmth. The flourless chocolate torte was really great. Often, these are only good; this one was off-the-charts great.“

“Our server, Damien was fantastic, however, we had reservations and requested a window seat ....many were available. They would not move us from the back of the room. We were told that reservations have priority over walk-ins, but that did not seem to be the case. we were told we'd have to wait to get a new table, even though it was set up and ready to go.. The table remained unoccupied for another 30 minutes at the same number of people as we were..“

“Decent subs, basic food and some party items.

It's hard to get really good food at a lot of places in the park that have quick serve. This place had some nicer subs and food. Menu wasn't big but quality was good.

The line here can grow quickly and service can be slower. Was a little confusing because when we got our food the register was closed and there weren't any notes or signs. Went over to ice cream counter and they said we could pay there. They should have had a sign stating that at register because I imagine some people probably just walked out.

Guys in kitchen were friendly and working really hard. Getting your order was a little disorganized.

Next time we hike in the valley we will definitely stop in again for a quick and good lunch.“

“Alec and Anastasia made for a fantastic experience and a memorable birthday for my wife. My Hope is that both of them will be recognized in the next team meeting for making our trip unique and made for poor memory of our week in California.“

“Base Camp Eatery at the Yosemite Lodge has something for everyone. They have ordering kiosks when you walk in or you can order directly from each food type area. There are many vegetarian options including burgers, Latin food, Asian food, pasta. salads, and more. It's a cafeteria style motif with vast seating areas inside and also deck seating outside. They serve breakfast until 10:30 am and then lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. we ordered spicy black bean burger combinations with fries and a salad. The food was all fresh, flavorful and tasty. I highly recommend this spot for your Yosemite dining.“

“Food is decent, prices are pretty reasonable. We both got pulled pork sandwiches and they hit the spot. Don't expect top notch food and you won't be disappointed, especially if you're starving after a long hike like we were. Service is quick, we got our food in minutes. The cashier was courteous and professional. There was a long line but it was moving fast. Lots of tables outside. Very convenient location in the center of Yosemite village.“

“Of the food options available in the valley, the Aheahnee Bar isn't bad. Food was marginal, drinks were good, service was great. The Mezze plate was unremarkable, it's hummus unrecognizable but not terrible. The Grilled Halloumi Cheese and Tomatoes was bland. The Antipasto salad was good. If you want a quiet palace to sit for a while, this is not a bad option.“
