On our recent stay at Tenaya Lodge, my wife and I are at Jackalopes Bar and Grill four times. We had dinner there once and breakfast the other times. It's a great restaurant and a beautiful one at that. The dining room and bar area are stunning. The service is formal but not stuffy. We had wonderful servers who all made us feel very well taken care of. My wife and I had breakfast vouchers for getting a breakfast package with our room. Please, if you get these vouchers, do make sure to tip the servers. They don't give you a bill, so it's easy to forget to tip or just walk away. We made sure to still tip on what the bill would've come to. If you don't have cash then you can ask them to run a bill for $0 and then you can add your tip to your room or on a card. Please tip your servers! For our first breakfast there, it was a buffet. They do buffets on mornings when there are a lot of guests at the hotel, probably most weekends. The buffet was excellent. Great omelette station, waffle maker, and a standout carrot cake chia pudding! The other two mornings we ordered off a menu and I tried their country skillet with steak and eggs and their Lamb Chopper Cheese omelette. Both dishes were really excellent! I also tried their sticky toffee French toast which was amazing! Their caprese avocado toast is also excellent and an entree unto itself! The one night we came for dinner I had their organic green salad with raspberries and goat cheese, and their roast half chicken. The chicken is so moist and delicious! I am really glad that Tenaya Lodge had such a wonderful restaurant as there weren't any other options for there for much of our stay. Such a great restaurant! read more

My wife and I went to Jackalope's Bar and Grill on our second day in Yosemite. We'd already been to a bunch of the restaurants in the main part of the valley, and there really aren't many options out there, so we wanted to find something new and a little nicer. Jackalope's came up and we took a bit of a risk, because the online reviews weren't all that great. Not a dig at them, that's just what we saw. When we got there it was a lot nicer than we expected. It's a full hotel and resort with beautiful views of the whole canyon and all of Yosemite, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Everything was very clean and big, and it felt a little higher end compared to the other restaurants out there. The service was super sweet too. We had our dog with us, and they said they could take him in as long as he stayed with us, and they usually don't even allow dogs. They also made him a little meal of chicken and rice, which is apparently on their menu and we had no idea. We had issues with bees while we were sitting outside, and they just said Come on inside, totally fine. Another server came by and asked if there was anything they could do to make things easier for us. Everybody was great. Now, the food, which shocked me. I got the Jackalope's burger and it was pretty dang good. I do wish it was for sure burger and had more meat, honestly. But, the sauteed mushrooms, blue cheese, bacon, and a little aioli, and the bacon were perfectly crispy, so you got that salty, savory, cheesy blend going on. It was cooked perfectly and I finished the whole thing in about 4 to 5 bites. The fries were warm, golden brown and crunchy, not wet or soggy at all, which is not something I expected this far out in Yosemite. To be fair, that's not on them, it's just hard to get good ingredients out there, but this was good quality food. My wife got the BLTA with a little side salad and ate all of it. The bacon was crispy, the sandwich was massive, and she was very pleased. We both had great meals and great service, and if I go back to Yosemite I'm going back for that burger. I'd absolutely recommend it to anybody headed to Yosemite or on the way there. www.whatcustomers.com read more

Solid and above average tasty bar entrees, service and decor. Server was nice enough to put the buffalo sauce and blue cheese sauce of the chicken wings on the side for us since we have our tot here. Quesadilla was melting cheesy and adore the guacamole in it. Jackalope burger was on point. Took awhile for the entrees to come out during the evening Saturday rush, but it's understandable. Conveniently serving Tenaya Yosemite guests. Nice lodge ambiance. read more

We booked dinner reservations at embers but ended up eating at other two places on the property. This place runs slower but with pagers we were able to while the time away outdoors. Our host and server for the night was polite. The portion on the mains is just right. We ordered blackened chicken tacos and miso and mushroom risotto. Both 5/5. The house salsa has a nice kick to it. We ordered noodles with cheese from kids menu. That was all gobbled up by our hungry toddler. It came with sides of steamed veggies. I enjoyed the only soup ( they have it for $11) it was fresh and steaming hot. Perfect for chilly evening. definitely worth trying. They have lot of options for all. Both indoor and outdoor seating seemed good option. But for summer early dinner outdoor is nice. They have a huge round firepit and it was nice to dine around it. Definitely will be on our list for the next visit. read more

This review is for breakfast! Can't speak highly enough about our server Devon and his happy, positive and outstanding service and demeanor-- made for an even better experience!! Although the buffet looked great, I wasn't super hungry and ordered the breakfast parfait- so fresh, beautifully served and so yummy -- and took much of it home- it was large!! Got an egg and toast on the side too...maybe I should have ordered the buffet lol $ Hubby's bagel and lox platter was huge and beautifully served as well... Each staff member who brought our food to us was friendly and truly a joy to interact with. Thank you to the management as well- or menu developers--who put skim milk on the menu. I don't drink coffee and it's rare these days to order skim milk to drink ( and not for coffee or cereal).. read more

Very cool bar here at the Tenaya Lodge! Fantastic ambience with an enclosed glass fireplace and an open pit right outside the patio doors... plenty of seating too. Our server Erik was awesome! Fun personality and he gave great recommendations! Also very attentive throughout our meal! The drinks were killer! Best $18 Bloody Mary! The others in our party enjoyed their wine selections too. As far as the menu... not a whole lot of appetizer options before 5pm in fact we were unable to order the artichoke dip because it was not yet 5 which to me is so silly because how hard can it be to prepare an artichoke dip dish at 4 PM versus 5 PM? The buffalo wings were really good. Different but good. It came with 7 wings and some carrots and celery. We did the sauces on the side and what a surprise that the chicken was fried chicken!? Definitely not your average wings... too much on the fried stuff for me. The prices are way overpriced for what they serve. We also had the chicken mole' nachos, very tasty but again way overpriced for what they serve you! A very small portion and $30 with the guacamole added! Not worth the price at all. Definitely would come back so I recommend coming here especially for the location! read more

From the moment we walked in, the restaurant had a cozy, cabin-like atmosphere with wood paneling throughout and a fireplace in the center of the dining area. I started with the cauliflower ceviche, and it did not disappoint. It was tangy, flavorful, and served with large curly chips that added a great texture and made the dish even more enjoyable. For my entrée, I ordered the prime rib cooked medium rare, and it was prepared perfectly. The mashed potatoes that accompanied it were also well-made and nicely seasoned. I added a little cracked black pepper to my taste, but it was delicious even without it. Our server, Lori, was attentive and made sure all our needs were met. She also ensured our food arrived promptly, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with the family, and I would definitely return. read more

We ate a lot of meals here as it's the only truly kid-friendly option in Tenaya Lodge that doesn't require a significant amount of walking. It's bar and grill fare that can be eaten there, taken to go, or marked up a few dollars as room service. Avoid the breakfast buffet at all costs. A proper entree costs a little less, and the quality is so much better. The buffet eggs are so dry, and they are the one thing we had here that was truly awful. Opt for a bowl of Steel-Cut Oatmeal if you want something simple. The Lox & Bagel is a bigger plate with plenty of smoked salmon. Order an extra bagel and the salmon will serve two. For lunch and dinner they make pretty good burgers, like the Jackalope Burger, which has my favorite toppings and the Steakhouse Burger which is meat-on-meat, topped with short rib and swiss. Kids loved the Spiral Noodles and Cheese and the pizza. The Philly Cheesesteak could be a little less dry, but the Pulled Pork Nachos are quite delightful and enough for two. Plenty of toppings, ample protein. Jack's Buffalo Wings are best with basketball and beer. Casarecci Short Rib Pasta is a dinner entree and not one I would recommend. The ragu is rather thin. Avoid the Design-a-Cupcake at all costs. The cupcakes crumble when you pick them up so they are impossible to frost, and all you get is frosting and sprinkles so there's not much designing to be done. Several hits, a few misses, expected for a resort restaurant meant to serve all meals and any and all people. It's not the kind of place I would repeatedly frequent in normal circumstances, but the experience was quite positive overall. read more

Get the french dip! Get the french dip! We swung by Jackalope's after Mariposa Grove and we were starving! This place is within a hotel so parking was definitely easy. We were also greeted and seated immediately. I'll let the photos do the convincing. I'm coming back every time I'm in the area again. read more

Jackalopes, Teneya Lodge: 2025 Oct 30 (4.43 of 5) Service: 5 of 5 Food: 4.25 of 5 I'm going to start this off by commending our server, Victor. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He has a positive attitude and demonstrated good manners, while anticipating our needs. Victor is a definite 5 in our books. Note: I plan on writing a commendation letter to Jackalope's for his overall attitude and charm The Food: Tuna Nachos (tuna, cabbage, cucumber, avocado, sesame seeds, wonton chips, cilantro, poke sauce, sriracha aioli): This was my order. I skipped the cilantro. The raw tuna has a mild flavour and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The slight heat from the sriracha aioli marries well with the tuna, giving it a rich umami taste. Everything was on point, from the fresh tuna to the crispy wonton chips, and dressing. A definite 5 of 5. Prime Rib French Dip: This came with fries. The meat was under-seasoned. The dip was nice, but the fries were not. The fries were a beautiful golden brown, but were under-seasoned as well, plus they were not crunchy when you bite into them. They tasted starchy like they sat out far too long. As for the slaw... it was under-dressed and quite bitter. This dish was a 2.75 of 5. Warm English Sticky Toffee Pudding (moist date cake, caramel sauce, whipped cream, toffee bits): The rich, moist sponge cake has a deep yet and complex flavour. It's gooey and decadent and we couldn't stop eating it. The lovely warm cake is not cloyingly sweet and works well with the light cream. Loosen your belt or wear elastic pants when you order this. 5 of 5 We sat on the patio. It's a beautiful day and flowers are in bloom. Sitting on the patio means, we get to see the resident bird, Ralph. Ralph has a mate now. We were told the mate's name is Fred. We could not tell them apart but we're happy to see them. They're great entertainers. read more

Jackalope's Bar and Grill is the large dining area inside the Tenaya Lodge resort close to the lobby with ample seating and a variety of things on the menu. It has a cozy lodge feel and I was at first really excited to try it. I was excited to eat here for a warm meal after a long day at Yosemite but I think I would have fared better with the food inside the national park. Everything was pretty expensive, food was just okay, and service was hit or miss. I forgot to take more pictures once the meals came out, but the chicken on the linguine Alfredo was rubbery and inedible. The Brussel sprout salad was very dry. It's the kind of place where all the food kind of looks good but doesn't really taste that good (that kind of vibe.) Maybe I'll stop here next time to Tesla charge and buy something from the gift shop but I think I'll pass on having a meal at this resort. (We also tried the seasonal barbecue that is outside in the lawn area and it was absolutely infested with wasps and bees and flies so that's two strike outs for the food at this resort for me.) I really wish I was writing a different review because I really wanted to like this place and the location is such a great option but I don't think I would honestly recommend it to any of my friends traveling to and from Yosemite. read more

The food and service were excellent and highly recommendable. We arrived at the restaurant around 9:00 p.m., just before closing, but the staff still welcomed us warmly and provided attentive, friendly service. Despite the late hour, they never made us feel rushed, and the food was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant at Tenaya Lodge. read more

On the way home from a week camping in Yosemite and stopped here for what we hoped would be a delicious dinner. Sadly we came in between the lunch and dinner shift so despite and empty restaurant they wouldn't serve us in the nicer room. Our server was very kind! Ordered a kids burger, a kids pizza, the lettuce wraps, Caesar salad and BLT. Kids pizza came out wrong. Lettuce wraps were chunky pieces of chicken instead of the ground Asian version we imagined. Sauce was not good, no mint despite what the menu described. Sent back. The BLT was awful. On very dry over toasted ciabatta bread with avocado that went bad (my son looooves BLTs and avocado and truly this was not a good version). Caesar salad was great but very small portions for $17!!! Loved the homemade dressing however the Parmesan chip was stale and soft instead of crispy. The kids burger my daughter ordered was edible, but again, absolutely not worth the price. Veggies served with it were very sad. read more

The very worst hamburger I have ever been served. Bone dry. They brought a replacement. Same if In n Out open across the highway they would close this guy place in a month read more

Stellar service once you get in, so make reservations if you're going &/or staying at the lodge. Food was tasty - started with the pretzel bites and hot artichoke dip, along with drinks, great start! Then we ordered: steakhouse burger, tempura cauliflower burger & a Cobb chicken salad. Yikes no room for dessert. Overall the food was on point, tasted good & there were no complaints. Very casual spot, easy going - swear there were folks there in their pj's, some come as you are ‍ read more

This is one of the restaurants on-site at the Tenaya Lodge. Stayed here a few nights to visit Yosemite. Service was slow in the beginning. Our server thought someone else was taking care of us which didn't really explain why we weren't even offered water for about 10 minutes. Also, aren't servers assigned sections? Either way, it sucked having to wait that long for water but server was apologetic and rest of the service was fast. The food itself was just ok. Nothing amazing but it wasn't bad either. I expected the pricing based on previous reviews and the fact that it's located at a resort. Although expected I wouldn't say the food was necessarily worth the price. We ordered poke nachos to start, kids teriyaki chicken meal, a burger, grilled chees and tomatoe soup and the short rib pasta. The teriyaki sauce had an unusual gravy-like consistency but chicken was well seasoned. The burger was fine, and came with onion rings which were good. The grilled cheese and soup were the favorite with the short rib pasta as a follow up. I would eat here again if staying on site since everything else is about a 20min drive. read more

Our go-to place on the way out of Yosemite at night. We are usually visiting between Christmas and New Year's. The hotel is rather busy, so the restaurant can be crowded at certain times. The menu has plenty of options for everyone in the family. The service is usually pretty good. If there is a long wait, you can pass the tire at the outdoor s'more pits. Or just eat handfuls of marshmallows as an appetizer like my daughter. read more

We stayed at the lodge and knew it would be expensive but decided it might be worth it. Food is ok. Had the baked Brie - frozen in the middle. So not a great start. The pasta was actually good but the other dishes like steak and loaded mashed potatoes were terrible and over salted. The tomato soup was strangely very sweet. Normally it wouldn't be bad but for that price, it's not worth it. Go a little further into town. read more

We recently stayed at the Tenaya Explorer cabins. The Jackalope restaurant is in the main building. We ate there twice for breakfast and three times for dinner. The service is excellent and the servers are nice and friendly. Our server told us they have recently changed the menu for the slower season. They have burgers and sandwiches and salads and pasta and fish and a beef choice of prime rib. We ordered the prime rib several times. There are no steaks on the menu. My husband had the prime rib dip which he says was delicious. My server accommodated me with adding vegetables to my meal to make my meal low carb. We also ate breakfast there and they have nice omelets. This is a good restaurant and I felt their prices were very reasonable. I can recommend this restaurant. read more

Jackalope's Bar and Grill - She loved her paint your own cupcakes - American Near Me - Fish Camp, California

Not bad! We ate here twice during our stay at Tenaya, once for breakfast (we stayed in one of the cabins and they gave us breakfast vouchers) and once for dinner. Breakfast was pretty busy and our food took almost 45 minutes to come out, I think something must've gone wrong because tables seated after us got their food before us. Other than that, the food was pretty good and generous portions. It would've been pricey without the vouchers. Since we had enough vouchers for 2 days, we got breakfast to go the second time and that was ready in 20 minutes. Dinner was actually really nice! The ambiance is very cozy without being overly dark and we felt welcome with our toddler. Madison, our server was great. Food was good, came out quickly and was pretty delicious. I wouldn't come back here to eat unless we stayed at the resort again, but it's a convenient option if you don't want to drive the 20 minutes into Oakhurst. read more

We had decided to drive to Yosemite and then to Tenaya resort in Highway 41. We ate dinner at Jackalope. It was better than I thought it would be. We both had the prime rib with Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes and a nice vegetable mix. The meat was massive. We couldn't finish it. Our server was caring and friendly! The food came fast! The ambiance was resort style with a massive bar if you're so inclined. Dessert was nice and made from scratch. If you're staying at Tenaya. That's the place to go. read more

We visited after a long trip back from Yosemite. This was the most appealing menu near the park and I'm glad we came here. We were seated immediately into a cabin/lodge vibe atmosphere. Our server, Abraham, was very nice, attentive, & quick handling multiple tables on a busy afternoon. We ordered the onion rings to start - these were the best we've had. For our meals we ordered the Steakhouse Burger and Inside-out Avocado Quesadilla. Both were fantastic & filling. Anytime I'm visiting Yosemite, I'll be stopping by for a meal :) read more

So we were staying locally and we went to this place for breakfast. We were impressed so we also went for dinner. So my review is for both. Devon served us for breakfast. He was very friendly and attentive and checked on us periodically. I wasn't real hungry so I had their yogurt, fruit and granola. My husband had their specially omelette with everything. He said the hashbrowns were really good. We both had coffee, the coffee was five dollars, which was a little pricey. For dinner we had Callin and Brooke, who made sure we had water. I had a Cru pinot Noir, which was very good. I chose the Harris ranch filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. It comes with vegetables, not very many and potatoes, which were just so so. My husband had a Philly steak and he said it was really good and french fries and I ate quite a few of them. The place was a little noisy because they were playing music in the background and then people were talking loud. But once the people left, it was nice, beautiful atmosphere, and a beautiful resort. read more

We have good memories of the lodge and the restaurants. However, our much anticipated dinner was suboptimal. First the restaurant is VERY smoky which makes me suspect poor kitchen ventilation. That would pose a problem to an asthmatic. The ambience is nice and casual. The waiter was very young but did not know the menu and could not really describe a dessert. My salmon was lukewarm and it was fine but the sauce on its top and the tomato sauce in which it was swimming made it too acidic. Besides the potatoes were ice cold. My sons ordered the chicken sandwich and they found the chicken very dry. My wife never got her soup and she had chosen the roast beef sandwich. She liked it but her "Cesar" side salad was basically a kale slaw with Parmesan shavings added along with croutons. For a restaurant that commands the prices, I found the food rather average as well as the service. We also waited very long to get our entrees and subsequently, no one refilled our waters. I'm summary, I was very disappointed this visit and my expectations were not met. I had an average overpriced dinner that a chain restaurant could have easily topped. And no, we did not ask for a manager since I don't want to get freebies. However, when the cookie dessert came ice cold, my wife did ask another server to get the manager. That manager fixed the dessert and wrote off one of the chicken sandwiches. Again we never asked for a discount or anything else. I just want you (Tenaya) to revisit whatever changed this wonderful place and fix it so that the next visit stimulates my palate into ecstasy. PS: see a picture of the Cesar and the slaw that came with the chicken sandwiches. read more

I decided not to eat than to eat here. I made a reservation for 9pm , we arrived at 8:30pm since we saw many tables available and we were seated quickly, on the patio. The service is very slow and our server Claudia never asked to take our order, we had to essentially take initiative. Everytime we ordered she looked confused and we had to repeat ourselves like 10 times, when I ordered a beer she was confused and didn't know what beer I was talking about which was on the menu. An hour later and we had not received our food and it was freezing outside. There was nobody around and they were cleaning the floors to close up, we asked Claudia if we could move inside because we were very cold. She looked inside and said that there was a line out the door for reservations to sit inside and said that we could go upstairs to get a jacket and come back. Now, keep in mind it's 9:30pm and the restaurant closes at 10pm. There was no line of people and there were many tables available. When the food came everything was disgusting, I ordered the risotto and it was cold mush comparable to oatmeal or porridge. They served it with ice cold vegetables and there was no flavor to anything. I told Claudia and she was visibly annoyed , sighing and rolling her eyes. For paying $140 this place is gross, food is nasty. I even took pictures of the tables available inside that we were told were so busy for reservations, Claudia might be the worst server I've ever had. read more

Situated in the Tenaya Hotel/Lodeg. Lovely decor. Rustic classy feel. Brussels sprouts smothered in balsamic, nicely charred and delightful. Cauliflower ceviche was refreshing, vinegar forward without coming across overly pickled. Fun little crispy sheets to eat with the ceviche. Burger was a juicy, salty, saucy mess. Steakhouse burger with the carmelized onions. Very yummy. Apple walnut salad was fresh and on point. Tomato soup was a big hit, as was the grilled cheese that came with it. Shrimp tacos were good, but don't be expecting "authentic Baja" or any spice hotter than "standard white people" level. read more

The family and I had a great weekday dinner here. It was not empty but not too crowded or loud. The young gentleman who seated us was very sweet and you could tell he took pride in his job. Jenni, our server, was friendly, helpful giving recommendations, and checked on us the perfect amount. All the staff were pleasant and funny, including the guy who delivered our food. The food itself was delicious. The four of us shared the Brussels sprouts, carnitas nachos, and a cobb salad, which was plenty for 4 adults! We also had a few beers and glasses of wine; appreciated the generous pours. Great cozy lodge ambiance. Nice big menu with lots of tasty-sounding options. Would go again for sure! read more
