    Great place in a great little town. Solid beer selection. Everything we had tasted great.

    Another family favorite! Every year we vacation to Twin Lakes and stay at Mono Village. Within our weeks vacation we come to the brewery at least twice! We love it, the owners are very nice and welcoming! Beers are delicious and I always get the red ale. There's outside seating as well as inside with a beautiful view of the town! Can't wait to return next year!

    Chicken Strip Meal with Tater Tots

    A great little spot to stop for a beer and lunch! Nice people they have a few beers on tap and the tots are so good!

    Excellent cheeseburger. Good flavor, crispy meat edges. $15
    MeL S.

    The burger was cooked well and I love how it came with ketchup and mustard on it. A dill pickle spear comes on the side, but I do prefer pickle in the burger. However, it worked out as the BF doesn't care for pickles and we split the burger, which they kindly cut in half for us. Salted plain potato chips come on the side, not as good as fries but the salty crunch complimented the burger. The staff was friendly and the bathroom was clean, although there is only one stall. They have outdoor seating, but beware of the big ants at the wood tables, they'll crawl all over you. *No burgers on weekends - they do a bbq thing.

    A great place with a lot of character and ambience. It's located in the heart of the beautiful Bridgeport with outdoor seating and great views all around. The home brews were delicious, thirst quenching without that lingering after taste other have. The food was phenomenal! The burgers were built with quality beef cooked just right and dressed with the fresh greens and the tastiest most delicious buns! Outstanding!!! It's too bad we live so far away!

    We were on a road trip so we wanted to stop and rest a bit. We saw this place and went in. They were so friendly and welcoming. We ordered our beverage the place is so cute. The decor was very unique. They had old crates that were hung making them into tables. They said they have been open for only 9 months. During our conversation they gave us a few tips on places to eat and stay during our trip. We really appreciated how kind they were. They offer games to play during your visit also. There is no patio, but they have a big window that looks out to the towns main strip. This is a small place with a big welcome, so please take a moment to go in and try something. I'm sure you will have a great experience just like we did. I know we will stop off again whenever we are in the area on another trip to try out something else.

    Red brew, to go only in a cold mason jar! Love it

Somewhere along the way, I lost my ring and didn't realize it until later. When we returned a few days later, not only did we come back for more food (because it was that good), but the staff had actually found my ring and safely held onto it for three days. I was so relieved and incredibly grateful for their honesty and kindness--it really meant a lot. On our second visit, we tried the Parmesan wings and mozzarella sticks, and both were amazing. Everything we've had here has been fresh and flavorful, and the service goes above and beyond. Great food and genuinely good people. I can't recommend this place enough!

First off it looks very clean and comfy inside. The ambience is cozy. When I came in I asked for the menu and when I saw a garden burger I had to ask questions because the brand garden burger makes vegetarian patties but only one of them is actually vegan The garden burger is from US food brand Molly's kitchen and the AI tells me it is indeed vegan. It's just named as Garden burger. Looks like this would be good with the jalapeño substitution here's a really cool part, this restaurant shows up on PlugShare as having Tesla charger. Indeed it does have one around back and when I got there a Tesla was charging. Note that this is a level 2 charger. The owner has a Tesla but he just lets people use the charger at no cost. That's super cool because 395 can be a challenge if you're driving EV. Range anxiety contributes to appetite and it really is nice to be able to get a few electrons flowing while you go inside and have a bite However most people will want to go charge at the Shell station where they have both Tesla superchargers and Electrify America. I can confirm that the ladder was indeed working this weekend of May 9, 2026. There are four of them and they're in good shape. They are about $.64 per kilowatt hour that's cheaper than gas right now by all measures

    OMG the food here was good!…read more I walked in around 3:30pm after an entire day of XC skiing and was pretty hungry and thirsty. I asked for a Mammoth Kolsch but the keg kicked so waited a few minutes while the bartender went to change it. Bartender was great, got me a pint of the first pull with minimal head as I watched him make my pour. Thank you bartender! Head always sucks IMHO lol...and the Kolsch was nice and crisp, just the way I like it! I worked hard today and for some reason the thing calling my attention on the menu today was the short rib. That isnt the first thing on the menu I usually look for but probably working my body hard made me want some protein. The short rib was so good, very tender, so well cooked and the BBQ demi glace hit the spot. It also came with arugula garnish, which is my favorite green and went very well with the short rib. Potato gratin was yummy and the onion rings perfect! I ate to my hearts content, soooo good! Large portion size so I have leftovers for another meal. Service was good, host at the front was super cheery and friendly. Lots of merch for sale here. Many of the beers also in cans for takeaway too. Also ample parking, and there is also an area to sit outside too. I chose to sit inside as I was outside all day already and got more than my daily Vit D dose! Overall, a great experience, I am definitely coming back!

They have limited hours so make sure you plan for it, and they also host events throughout the week which means live music isn't always available. The ordering process is straightforward - you place your order at the front inside and then pick it up with a buzzer outside, which works perfectly for enjoying the outdoor setting. 5/5 Tomato Soup with Half Grilled Cheese was so hearty and exactly what you need after a long drive or before heading into the mountains. The soup was the best I have had in a while, with rich tomato flavor that was perfectly seasoned and had just the right consistency. The grilled cheese was nothing too special on its own, but it paired so well with the soup, especially to warm you up in the cold. The combination is classic comfort food executed beautifully, and you really can't go wrong with this order. The Grove House is absolutely worth planning your Yosemite trip around! It's the perfect stop to fuel up before heading into the park or to unwind after a day of hiking. The combination of good food, welcoming atmosphere, and that small-town charm makes it a must-visit when you're in Mariposa. I would definitely recommend trying this place out - it seems like one of the best restaurants in the area on the way to Yosemite. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and hoping to catch one of their live music nights!

And they have scheduled music shows cycling through. So yeah, all told, this is a great spot for local brew hunters to stop in at and grab a pint, or three. Cheers, all!
