    The lunch crowd.
    Guy W.

    I love taking my daughter to Jones Store. She's the fourth generation in our family to step through those doors. Jones Store, born in the early 1900s to serve cowboys on their high Sierra trails, stands proudly off the grid. No electricity, no phone, no cell service. Propane powers the grills and cools the food. It's where the bikers, hikers, and locals head when the mountain snow melts. Every time I go, I order the hamburger. It's a one-of-a-kind affair, served on a long roll instead of a round bun. Oversized, it's built to satisfy folks who've been on the trail for a good long while. My daughter's favorite part? The dogs--Linda, Bodie, and Tucker. Before you go, remember to bring cash. The store isn't open every day. Check the store hours posted at the bottom of Beasore Road at Bass Lake before you head up the mountain.

    While I was planning a group backpacking trip, my buddy N sent me a link for Jones Store, saying: "We NEED to go here!" As it turned out, it was on the way to our trailhead - along the long, convoluted Beasore Rd - and miles from the nearest town. They were open; so we stopped. Plus they had homemade pie(!!) I'll always stop for that. As mentioned by the owners (and the plaque out front) the store was first established in the 1930s as a supplier for cattlemen who were grazing their herds in nearby, upland meadows. It's been a family affair ever since, with the current owners being the third generation here. But times have changed - Gone are the store wares. Gasoline is no longer sold here either (though they still have an old gravity-feed tank out front). It's now just a stop for food and drink. Receipts are filled out in pencil & paper, and they accept CASH ONLY. So be prepared for a bit of time travel. Did I mention pie? As stated on a sign, they have two kinds: pie or no pie. And since the latest pie from the oven is always changing, and they don't keep track, they won't tell you what kind you'll get. I can say it's an enormous slice (1/8 pie?), it comes a-la-mode, and it is topped with whipped cream. I picked mine up right away and it was apple. (with great crust, as is required). One friend grabbed hers 15 minutes later, and it was peach-blueberry. (I admit I was a little bitter). They also offer burgers, dogs, chips and drinks, including beers. Being on vacation, I decided to have a beer with my pie; and I was instructed to grab one from the fridge - PBR, But Light, or Coors. Ok then. Once purchases were completed, we ambled outside, grabbed a plastic table, and enjoyed our sustenance amongst beautiful mountain scenery. A few people in our group ordered burgers and claimed they were excellent. The only negatives for me were: -- Prices were scandalous. One hot dog, two slices of pie, and a can of PBR was $45. I assume it's from supplying this remote location. -- The bathrooms in back were dark, rickety, and kinda scary. They offered showers for extra $ but I wouldn't step foot in the ones that I saw. Ew. Nevertheless, our visit to Jones Store was a great start to a long, off-the-grid weekend trip; I would definitely go again, as long as I had some cash with me.

    Beautiful meadow to enjoy while eating lunch.

    Coolest spot around. I only wished I could have gotten there earlier snag a pie. Great atmosphere, beautiful day to relax in high country. I'll absolutely be back

    A beautiful spot to grab a sandwich and pie with friends.

    The bread was phenomenal

    Took a MC ride with a couple of buddies. This was my first time at this place. Upon a coworkers recommendation, we all ordered cheeseburgers! No sooner then walking in the door, they belted out "should I put three cheeseburgers on"...we said of course. Grabbed a soda and table out back. Burgers and chips were at the table within 10-15 mins! Well! Even if it took 30 mins, it would have been worth the wait! The bread was phenomenal, the was patty seasoned well and the grilled peppers and onions complimented the burger! Next visit I will try the pie! This is a must see/eat location! Don't forget your cash! No credit or debit or checks

    Meadow, not ghetto

    Cool run down out off the way, hard to find, bumfck egypt, divey dive place high in the mountains. Worth the hairpin turns, get out of the city, hangout. Bikers heaven. Snow up here in the winter, might be closed down, but fkn ay, my kinda stop.

    Wanted to add some pics of this quaint, majestic place

    A family friend from Coursegold took us to this great burger joint off the beaten path. The burger was cooked perfectly, with a slice of tri tip. So delicious. It's a simple no frills place with outdoor seating. You help yourself to a drink and head out to the meadow where you'll find outdoor chairs and tables. You couldn't beat the location. Owner was friendly and even hung out with us. This is a must, but I warn you once you stop, you won't want to leave. The oversized burger on a french roll was delicious and the scenery breathtaking. Please stop and tell them Mary sent you. The owner never heard of yelp.lol

    Food: Bacon avocado cheeseburgers were delicious! Four of us…read moreordered them and all were satisfied. Fries were hot & crispy, with the good ketchup pumps and big containers so you could dip to your heart's content. Tuna melt was also delicious--made fresh. The watermelon slushie was also . Casual atmosphere--we walked in off the trail and felt comfortable, along with some better dressed folks at other tables. Helps that the dining room is spacious and clean. Very laid back place with friendly service and quality food. Highly recommend!

    When staying in Bass Lake we usually find a place to eat in Oakhurst. Maggie wanted to visit…read morePete's Place. We arrived at 10:50 am hoping to get breakfast. Their menu stated breakfast is served till 11am. We were told they stopped breakfast at 1040am today. I ordered the fish and chips with fried zucchini. The fried fish was coated in a crunchy beer batter. Fish was tender and moist except for some overcooked parts. Flavor was mostly of beer batter with a mild cod flavor. Good dish. Better than the frozen fish sticks from the supermarket. Fried zucchini was shaped like french fries. Batter was crunchy. I could barely taste the zucchini as there seemed to be more batter than zucchini. I prefer bigger pieces of zucchini and less batter. Ok dish. Fanta Pineapple soda was sweet and full of pineapple flavor. Very good. Server/Cashier was very nice and brought out our meals quickly.
