7 Best American Restaurants in Yosemite Valley

“We had a wonderful dinner here. We both got the filet mignon and it was tender and delicious. It's a beautiful dining room. Felt cozy and warm inside (it was in the 40's outside).

Service was great. Didn't wait long for the food to be served. Highly recommend making a reservation.“

“I was just amazed by my experience here. When I arrived I was instantly greeted by Shane. Shortly afterwards both Jessi and Sylias checked up on me several times. Shane made me an amazing mango margarita. Schuey was so friendly! The staff here was amazing!“

“Of all the places to get a quick bite to eat in Yosemite, this was our first choice. The Chicken Enchilada Soup was great. The chili was pretty good, too, but they don't sell bags of Fritos here. Could have made me a Frito Pie. The sandwiches were good, but the husband complained that the bread is a little too thick. Got some beignets from Peets. Yum!

They have snacks and drinks. Cashier was always nice. No long lines here. Plenty of places to eat, inside and out.“

“I come to Yosemite almost every October. I camp at Housekeeping Camp and always treat myself to a dinner at the Mountain Room. Maybe if I was booked at the lodge, I'd expect the resort to have a restaurant as good as the Mountain Room. But as a camper who spends all day hiking, having dinner at the Mountain Room is like heaven on earth. I think it's one of Yosemite Valley's best kept secrets! This year, the hostess was sweet and adorable. My waiter was very nice too. But I was especially impressed by my salmon dish. From what I understand, you have a new menu, and in my opinion this dish is a keeper. I've never said this before to anyone ever, but “my compliments to the chef!” The fish was cooked to perfection. The micro greens were lovely and tasty. The green sauce was AMAZING. The rice was unusually delicious, and the al dente carrots were superb. I have three (minor) criticisms: 1. You should be able to figure out a way for a single diner to order bread t having to order enough bread for four people. 2. The French onion soup was fine, but not nearly as delicious as my server led me to believe. When I tucked into it, it squirted broth all over my table. This made a bit of a mess . When I pointed out the spray of broth all over my table, my server was duly amused but he really ought to have summoned someone to wipe it away. I felt like I was dining in the midst of a small mess for my entire meal. 3. There's nothing wrong with the pumpkin dessert roll, but it essentially tastes exactly like carrot cake, and it had way too much frosting and felt more like a breakfast pastry. It's tasty but too rich, and not a very sophisticated dessert. Above all, I love the Mountain Room!“

“Parking: Exceptional dining experience! The ambiance was top notch , providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a wonderful meal. The service was also outstanding attentive,friendly and knowledgeable staff made sure we had everything we needed. The prices were very reasonable, making it an excellent experience value for the quality of food and service we received. Speaking of food, both dinners and breakfast were delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and left feeling satisfied.“

“Really very good!!! I really recommend this place, I had tenders with fries and it was really very good, in addition to being very fast and the young man at the cash register was friendly and friendly.

Parking: When we went there we had to park at the other end of the car park, a 10 minute walk from the Village Grill.“

“They are not serving food at the bar at this time. Debby was a fun server. She'll get what you need. They should really consider opening at 3:00pm. People arrive early before check in, so it would be nice if they could grab a drink while they wait for their room.“
