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.

Vintage Steak House, Coarsegold: 2026 Jun 7 (4.72 of 5)…read more Vintage Steakhouse is one of our go-to eateries. We're celebrating our 35th year wedding anniversary here. From the time we stepped in and was greeted by the friendly hostess to the time we left, we were genuinely pleased with the staff here. I ordered the Tasting Menu and my hubby ordered French Onion Soup, Oscar Stryle & Prime Rib from their main menu. TASTING MENU: Amuse Bouche (watermelon gazpacho shooter): Refreshing way to awaken the palate. (5 of 5) Seared Sea Scallops (seared scallops, honey dijon aioli, citrus caviar beurre blanc): The crisp, caramelized crust of the scallops opens up to a luxurious naturally sweet and juicy interior. The scallops had depth of flavour, and the citrus shines through. It's buttery without any fishiness. The asparagus pieces were cooked through but still maintain its crunch. Everything works on this plate. (5 of 5) Chef Victor (sic) Pan Roasted Salmon (seared salmon preserved lemon beurre blanc, salmon chicharron, dill oil): The fish was beautifully seasoned and the sauce complemented the fish. What a perfect match - lemon beurre blanc and dill oil. The topper was bland but the sauce makes up for it. I could lick up the sauce - it's that good. (4.75 of 5) Chef Eli (sic) Filet Mignon (7 oz sliced filet mignon steak, carrot puree, oyster mushrooms, bordelaise sauce, crispy parsnip): A good filet mignon should melt-in-your-mouth because it comes from the softest, lean meat cut. My medium rare order was nearly there but the meat arrived cold. The carrot puree is vibrant in color - has a smooth, naturally sweet, earthy taste, and balanced perfectly with the meat. The mushrooms were over salted but was helped by the sweet smooth carrot puree. The cold meat brought an otherwise perfect score down. (4.5 of 5) Chef Jose (sic) White Chocolate Mousse (callebaut belgium white chocolate mousse filled with raspberry gel on top of a sacher torte sponge with fresh raspberries and chantilly cream): When I think of chocolate mousse, I think delicate, light, airy, cloud-like melt-in-your-mouth yumminess. This didn't have that. The dome was a hard shell. Though the presentation aced on this dessert, the texture and flavour did not quite live up to its name. (3.5 of 5) French Onion Soup: This is the ultimate comfort food. It offers a bold harmony of sweet, caramelized onions and rich, savoury beef broth, crowned with a thick layer of gooey, toasted cheese. Very satisfying. (5 of 5) SURF n TURF: Prime Rib 12 oz: The medium rare meat was beautiful to look at but not quite as brilliant to eat. Overall, this is a tasty dish but was quite chewy. They aced the sauce. (4.25 of 5) Oscar Style Crab: The Oscar-style crab béarnaise sauce combines the sweet, flaky texture of crabmeat with a warm, velvety French emulsion of butter, egg yolks, and herbs. It's luxurious, rich flavour is complex and decadent but balanced. Great harmony. So indulgent! (5 of 5) Our server, Steven is amiable but not in your face, which we truly appreciate. Steven radiates warmth and good-natured charm. (5 of 5) We were seated at a table but changed our seating to bar-side. They have an open-kitchen concept. From there, we could see who's cooking our meal and watch the seamless quiet communication and the care each chef takes in presenting the dishes. Sam, who worked on the salads was friendly and truly a genius in balancing the different textures and flavours together. (5 of 5) The complimentary bread came warm and tasted fresh. We were also presented with a complimentary dessert with the words "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate. (5 of 5) Mixed Drinks: Very good mix by bartender George. (5 of 5)

Caesar Salad: 8/10, should have asked for dressing on the side For entrees: Tomahawk: 8.5/10 delicious and enjoyed the steak sauce Bone in ribeye: 9/10, solid, should just order 2 but the tomahawk was a must after a good night at the slots Sides: 10/10 garlic mash, good flavor not overwhelming 10/10 Onion Fries 8/10 risotto, good flavor and really enjoyable for non risotto eating people They ran out of the brussel sprouts Admittedly me and my boo tend to be over order-ers, but leftovers were great!

Despite the overwhelming crowds, the team was hustling and turning out super high quality food at a reasonable price, giant and delicious milkshakes, and high quality coffee.

Hot tip: you can grab a menu and call your order in ahead, eliminate any wait, and get $1 off your order. Next time we will know ahead to make this our go to. Prices are very reasonable too!

They have recently redone their paper menus. So the two menus we received had different descriptions as to what was included with the dinner. Avery handled that beautifully. They were out of several brands of gin. Ultimately, we did find enough for a very nice martini ($18). My wife and I split a cup of vegetable beef soup (4 stars), a small spinach salad (4.5 stars) and a huge rib eye steak with a baked potato and overcooked veggie medley. The steak and the baked potato were both cool (temperature). Despite that, we had a very pleasant evening and would be happy to give it another try next time we're in Shaver Lake.
