Fantastic food and experience!…read more Tried on a whim after a day at Sequoia, not expecting too much after seeing the Yelp stars, but all expectations were blown out of the water. Staff were immediately welcoming, personable to talk with, patient, and helpful not just to us but all other guests around! We sat at one of the many outdoor patio tables, which made for exactly the relaxing mood we needed. The complimentary fresh chips and salsa were finished before the waiter returned to take our order. Both are clearly made fresh, with the chips being very visibly cut, fried, and seasoned and the salsa being refreshing and slightly spicy. The wet burrito supreme was filled with tender, juicy beef shreds and topped with a red sauce packed with flavor. The chicken and mole was a delightful surprise to see on the menu, and it blew our minds! The thigh, leg, and breast chunk were wonderfully tender but still firm enough to not just become part of the sauce, which was packed with flavor, smokiness, and richness. The beef flautas were admittedly a little hard and the weakest plate on the table, but it was compensated by the rice and beans being nicely seasoned and cooked to the perfect texture/consistency.

This place was not on our go-to places. We came to the sequoias and the other restaurant that we…read moreusually come to was having a deep cleaning. So we asked the people from that restaurant what was open at the time we were there. It was around 11:30 am. We had tickets to go to the Crystal Caves at 1 so we needed to eat and go to the bathroom before entering the park. So they told us about this place and we came. They were open and there were hardly any people inside. The girl that was at the entrance told us to sit wherever we liked it. So we just picked random. Then I wanted to go to the bathroom and when I went there, there was no soap to wash my hands. That was not good at all. Good thing I always carry some with me. I went and grabbed my bag and went back again. Then we ordered the food and the drinks. I asked for coffee and my daughter for a jarrito. They didn't have jarrito so she got water. The coffee was not so good. But I guess kinda ok. Then I ordered the huevos rancheros and my daughter the tacos de asada. When the food arrived, it was not the way I expected my huevos rancheros. They came as in tacos with lots of big chunks of onion and not a lot of egg. So I didn't like them. My daughter only ate one taco. She mentioned that the meat was hard and without any flavor. We left all the food and went back on the road to go to the park. We needed to be there early. I don't think we are coming back here. Sorry.

We came to Sequoia 2nd week of October. It was a perfect time to come. Thurs was drive day…read more Friday/Sat/Sunday in the park. Thursday was by far the best day as far as amount of people in the park and entry times/popular spots. That being said. It really didn't feel over crowded. I would definitely come back this time of year again. Also the weather app said it would be cold! 50-60's the whole time. It was only that temp Sunday. And when you're hiking you're warm. It was near perfect weather. For anyone researching when to come we would like to come in spring after the snow melt so that the waterfalls would be a bit bigger and maybe things aren't so dried out after hot summer. This was a magical experience felt like we landed on another planet and were walking in avatar world. The trees are magical. Great trails. The food at the lodges was surprisingly good and decently priced. (We shared a pizza). Same prices as things outside the park. No real price gouging. We got to see most everything in 3 days both parks. If you want to do every trail in the park and you won't be exhausted you could easily spend 5 days. For the main attractions 3 days was perfect. The only "negative" thing was the staff at Wuksachi Lodge. We were considering staying there but glad we didn't. We also saw another lodge and looked old and run down. We got Airbnb in 3 rivers and happy we did. Defiantly will come back again!

Never say never! In 2020 I wrote a review on Sequoia National Park and essentially mentioned that I…read morewould never come back for various reasons. I can honestly say that six years later, my perspective completely changed. The first time we went, I was with my young boys and they did not enjoy the long hike. The Park Ranger had given us a suggestion to go through trails that were too difficult for our family. This time, we parked at the Giant Forest Museum and followed the trail to the Big Trees Trail. This trail is 1 km long and the trail circles the Round Meadow. It was amazing! This was exactly the type of trail would have loved in 2020. This time, I brought my aunt with me and we did our research to ensure we embarked on a trail that was easy for everybody. The Big Trees Trail is exactly that! There were people on wheelchairs, young children, and families. There are plenty of large sequoias for amazing pictures, fallen over trees that children can walk through like a tunnel, and there was even a tree trunk with a smooth interior, and children were using it as a slide. Big rocks were sprinkled throughout the trail, and kids and adults were climbing on them and taking amazing pictures. It took about one hour to get through this trail, and it was breathtaking. After that, we drove to the General Sherman Tree parking lot and walked to see it. One thing I would change for our next visit: purchase pass online to save some time at the gate.

I'm not sure if I was just hungry from all the hiking we did that day, but THIS WAS SOME GOOD…read morePIZZA!!! We got a medium pizza with 8 slices for around $26-$27. The base was artichoke and garlic, and we added jalapeños, sun-dried tomatoes, and pepperoni. It was SO good!! The next day, we realized we only had 2 slices left, and we were NOT having it, so we went back the very next day! And guess what? It was still just as bomb!! So overall, I can confirm it wasn't just the hiking making me hungry. This pizza was genuinely THAT good. The inside was also super cute, with a mini arcade and lots of TVs to watch the games. Overall, great pizza, a cute atmosphere, and definitely worth going back for!

This was my first time ever going to Pizza Factory. I've driven past it dozens of times but never…read morestopped. We came up to Three Rivers today and honestly Pizza Factory wasn't even in the plans. We were going to try a one or couple other restaurants but unfortunately the ones we wanted to go to were closed, my wife said pizza sounded good, so I acquiesced Let me tell you, I am SO glad we did. I didn't have high expectations going in but this place absolutely blew me out of the water. The service was excellent, the environment was great, the crowd was friendly, and the pizza was nothing short of phenomenal. I'm a foodie and I consider myself pretty dang picky. I've had a LOT of pizza that I just didn't care for, but this place nailed it. The dough was done beautifully. Nice little crunch on the bottom without being overdone, so the crust wasn't tough. The toppings were plentiful and the whole thing was basically a piece of art as it danced across my tongue. We got the Hawaiian pizza, and since I love pepperoni I asked them to add pepperoni. Then I thought about it and said, nope, make that double pepperoni. And let me tell you, that was the right decision! We also got a couple fountain sodas and everything was really good. Really good spot. I highly recommend it. They've even got claw games for the kiddos and a small salad bar for our leaf eating friends First time here and definitely won't be the last. Treat your tongue to some delight, go to pizza factory tonight.

Had a fabulous time staying in three rivers and visiting the Sequoia and Kings Canyon national…read moreparks. The Rio, Sierra River House is a great place to stay. We stayed in the deluxe queen studio. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. . It has a full kitchen and a full wall of windows overlooking the river! There was a great little deck with a table and chairs for eating breakfast and enjoying the view. The property had a great beach area with several nice spaces with canopies and chairs for guest to relax in. And plenty of space for all of the guests to enjoy . The River was clear and deep enough to swim in.. it was not very cold but was refreshing in the summer heat after a day spent up at the national parks. The room was wonderful . The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans utensils , dishes, etc. the beds were comfortable there were plenty of blankets and towels etc. The host was very welcoming and responsive when we reached out with questions and there were instructions, request, and a lot of good suggestions for enjoying our stay provided in a paper that was left in the room.. I would definitely recommend the spot, I plan to come back to visit the Area again and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else

Rio Sierra River Resort is my favorite place to stay, period. Everything about it is amazing, from…read morethe river to the rooms, perfect. It has become a destination to me, not just an overnight pass-through. The staff are so attentive, just let them know if you need anything. I just recently stayed and can't wait to return. If you do have concerns, such as the cancelation policy, you should contact them in advance to clarify that.
