    Noodles and cheese
    Kashyap J.

    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.

    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)..

    Buffalo wings (sauce on the side) like fried chicken, yum

    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!

    Prime Rib

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pretzel bites
    Aida F.

    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 ‍

    Prajakta C.

    Food is good in terms of taste and quantity. Service staff is super friendly and ambience is perfect with a cozy fireplace inside and outside. We tried the apple walnut salad, fettuccine Alfredo pasta, blackened chicken tacos and Nashville chicken burger. We liked the tacos and salad. We loved the warm sticky toffee pudding.

    Shirt rib pasta
    Montez A.

    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.

    Steakhouse Burger
    Annie D.

    The perfect restaurant for a mountain resort! We came for dinner last night and the the breakfast buffet this morning. Our servers were amazing and on top of all our needs! We sat by cozy fireplaces at both meals - just completed the Yosemite experience!

    Charcuterie
    Tony D.

    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.

We had a pretty large party and with a small menu we almost covered it all. The best things on the menu were the empanadas even though they didn't make sense on paper and the rest was disappointing. Being as how we were the table sending things back I will have to say the service was 5 plus stars. You never know how anyone is going to take you being as how they have their own personal relationship with the food (and kinda have to like it since it's their job) so we were nice, paid for what they felt like they needed to charge us for and left. Upside? The facility is a nice piece of history up here. Had the food matched that it would've been a 5 start experience all the way around. Nice little river running thru the property and over the top maintained. We didn't see the insides of the rooms but if it matched the dining area this place was pretty phenomenal. Back one more time on the food, none of the fish dishes were worth it. Tiny sliver portions and super fishy tasting for it to be a busy Saturday. If you like fish and fishy flavor it's for you, but if you're a non fish tasting person who likes fish (I know my target fish audience gets that) skip it. It wasn't good. We also skipped dessert so can't comment on that. The other parts of the meal were just not that good. Also had a tequila cocktail I'm not sure why I ordered a second one of that kept me up from whatever the juice was they used in it. Wish I could remember which but at least it was strong enough for me to brave the second.

Service was decent, and the ambiance was nice, but overall the experience was just okay. The Peruvian pretzel was actually pretty darn good and probably one of the highlights of the meal. The biggest disappointment, and the main reason I'm giving three stars, was the oysters. If I could rate the oysters separately, I would give them zero stars. They were probably some of the worst-tasting oysters I've ever had. They tasted extremely fishy and did not seem fresh at all. We ordered a dozen and definitely regretted ordering that many. The dipping sauce that came with them was very good, but for the price this restaurant charges, the oysters should absolutely taste fresh. I also would not recommend the mac and cheese. It looked more like something that came out of a box than freshly made restaurant mac and cheese. If you're ordering for kids, I'd probably choose the pasta with tomato sauce instead. There were some good things about the meal, especially the pretzel and the atmosphere, but between the oysters, the mac and cheese, the long wait for food, and the prices, three stars feels fair.

    Our party of 4 had an 1130A reservation, and I called an hour in advance we would be a bit late…read more Although the restaurant closed at 12 noon, she noted it and said our reservation would gladly be accepted in Ducey's Bar & Grill. Since it was our first time in Bass Lake, we needed a map from the hotel front desk to find our way. Please view my map photo since it is nestled in the middle of lodging. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed a 45-minute to 1-hour wait for a table. Perturbingly and hungrily, we waited. Our drink order included Modelo Michelada, Peach Lemonade, juice, and milk. Ordered the Ducey's Salad, a Philly Cheesesteak, a Carne Asada Protein Bowl, and 2 kids meals. Loved my protein bowl and peach lemonade. We enjoyed our food and dining experience, and we would love to return. Reiterating this review on Bar & Grill.

    This place only gets 3 stars because of the view. We requested outdoor seating, was told it would…read moreonly be 5-10 minutes but ended up waiting 20 minutes. When we were seated we were then told that the kitchen was extremely backed up and it wouldn't be another 45+ minutes until they can even take our order. Thankfully they were able to take our drink order first so we got to enjoy the view. We were starving by the time we finally got our food, everything was fried since we decided to get their sampler platter and fried calamari. The food was pretty decent, I think I just got sick of it pretty fast because everything felt very heavy. I would probably only come back for the views next time I'm in the area, and get some drinks and light apps!

    Yummy wague sandwich and wine. Also soup. Is tasty. Amazing service. Friendly people. All the food…read moreis fresh

    Came here planning to try a flight and have a glass, and ended up staying for dinner and dessert…read more Besides the refreshing wine menu, the service was something that stood out. All of the staff went above and beyond to be super friendly and inviting. It felt like my husband and I were regulars the way the wait staff treated us. You could tell they treat every customer as if they're the only person in the winery, despite it being full. Every question we had was met with patience as they guided us on the best food and wine pairing. They also are super accommodating to pets, and were able to enjoy a nice meal with our pup. The food was all fresh and delicious. Everything tasted like it was made from the heart. My husband got the angel hair pasta with chicken, a favorite of his, and it did not disappoint! I got the brown butter sage gnocchi, made with fresh sage from their garden. We also enjoyed the meze board. My husband who does not like falafel was fighting with me for the last piece. For dessert I ate the rosemary shortbread with lemon curd. Just like with the sage the rosemary was also freshly picked from their garden. The shortbread was not too dry but also the perfect ratio of crispy on the outside and slightly moist on the inside - the exact way shortbread should be baked. I normally am picky with lemon desserts, but their lemon curd was also perfect - not too sweet and not too sour while still maintaining that fresh flavor. My biggest regret of our visit is not booking a room at their inn. We spent a couple of hours here and immediately felt right at home. I hope to come back one day for the full inn experience.

    The Hitching Post, Ahwahnee: 2026 Jul 31 (4.8 of 5)…read more Service: The atmosphere is open but the service is warm. (5 of 5) Fish & Chips: Today's classic dish of the British Isles has a good crunch on the batter and a delicate buttery interior, but could use more seasoning. The potato chips were managed and fried well. A dash of salt put this over the top. The coleslaw had a different texture and taste that I'm not familiar with so I'm not a fan. (4 of 5) Mushroom Swiss Burger (1/3 pound ground beef patty seasoned, topped with mushroom, swiss cheese & grilled onion on a brioche bun): The warm, buttery sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese add a creamy texture that marries well with the savoury beef patty. Together, they created a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. (5 of 5) Lemonade: My lemonade was refreshing - with enough acidity and sweetness. (5 of 5) Ice-cream: Not just any ice-cream, but Thrifty Ice-Cream. I remember going to Thrifty just to get their ice-cream. The Hitching Post carries 12 flavours of Thrifty ice cream. We had the Chocolate and Butter Pecan in large waffle cones. Most ice-cream these days are overly sweet - and that's all you taste - just plain sugar. Somehow, Thrifty Ice Cream has a sweet, creamy, and deeply nostalgic taste, with a rich, dense texture. We're definitely going back for the ice-cream. (5 of 5) This eatery has had its ups-and-downs... but they trudged on. No matter what your day holds, you can be assured of their gracious service.

    We came across this restaurant while driving to our B&B. We had a wonderful server and great food!…read moreThe Philly and Reuben were great. Wish there were more fries with the sandwich, as they were good! Prices were reasonable, service was fast. Loved the ice cream available to buy at checkout. This is a very casual spot and seemed to have a lively bar crowd as well.
