I was recently visiting Yosemite for a long weekend with a bunch of friends. There were about eight…read moreof us and after a long day of activities, we were starving. We looked up Smokehouse 41 and were sold on ordering The Mammoth, which says it feeds 4 to 6 but happily I can say that, and fed eight of us with a little leftover. Unfortunately, they do not take phone orders, but I can understand - now that we arrived in person to purchase our order for takeout. It's a lot of food to be ordered and a risk should the customer not pick it up. Also, there was a long line when we arrived, the parking was full, and the outside and inside dining were pretty full as well. Although the line was long to place our order as it's made to go in front of you, it went pretty quickly. They have a great set up and they know how to move the line quickly. It can be very tough dealing with a lot of tourist, new customers who do not know what they want, but I think that the employees here did an amazing job, especially the man that cuts the meat at the front stop, and the checkout employees at the register were also very friendly. Now let me tell you, we got a full rack of ribs, half pound of pulled pork, half pound of tri-tip, half pound of chicken, half pound of sausage and a half pound of brisket. You get six rolls and two large sides and when I say large, I mean jumbo sides. We ordered the barbecue baked beans with meat, and they are generous about it, we ordered the macaroni and cheese with bacon and again very generous on the bacon. At the end of the line, close to the cashier, I asked if they can make sure we had all the condiments, including barbecue sauces we needed to go. I was so surprised when they opened up the box of our order and everything was neatly packed in a large box with all the condiments, and they were generous with those as well, including butter for the rolls and different types of barbecue sauces. They gave us paper plates as well. Everything was packed so well! This place was really cool, they had plenty of customers dining inside and outside. They had an employee monitoring the inside dining hall, and making sure everything was cleaned, and when customers left the table, quickly went into turn the table over. I will say that this establishment, especially being in a high traffic tourist area, did an amazing job! Food was incredible! My favorite was the ribs and the sausage. But the pulled pork was also delicious! I have to give the food and service five stars all the way around! Bravo to this place!

Always a great experience at the smokehouse! Nice little bbq spot with really good meat and really…read moregood sides. Make sure to get there early for either lunch or dinner as they do typically run out of brisket and then tri tip next. Service was about as good as you'd expect in a small town.

The cashier who helped me was very friendly and nice, he got me the fries&drink combo even though I didn't know about it and ordered them separately. I chose to sit in the patio which was pleasant and peaceful with the weather and the view of the mountains. The food came out very quickly -- the sandwiches fresh & fries straight from the fryer. The sandwiches were perfect portion and the Dutch crunch had that perfect crunch but softness at the same time. The homestyle lemonade was just the cherry on top, refreshing and not overly sweet. I would definitely come to this place again!

I went in for a chicken pesto sandwich and asked the girl at the counter if they used actual…read morechicken breast or processed chicken. I explained I some DD make it different. I eat this sandwich every week from the DD at Fig garden when I'm in town, because their the only ones that make it with chicken breast meat. There were three employees working, not one knew what processed chicken was, the girl at the counter said she didn't know anything about the sandwiches, what was on them, because she was new. The two making the sandwiches, the male said, "everyone has their preferences "and the third said nothing. Then proceeded to fry a chicken something and make the sandwich. I have it to my dog. To the owners, please hire literate employees ! Even though the manager called me the next day stating they will make me a sandwich for free next time I come in. I definitely won't return even though I love in the community due to complaints that are similar to mine. You can't trust establishments that do not pay attention to who they employ. It's a shame I always support local businesses !!

My daughter loved her beet salad with fresh homemade ricotta. If in Oakhurst stop here. It will not disappoint.

Extremely disappointing experience, especially for a restaurant serving grass-fed beef…read more First, I found it incredibly odd that the only options for how my burger could be cooked were "pink" or "no pink," rather than standard temperatures like medium-rare, medium, or well-done. I specifically explained to our waiter that I wanted my burger cooked medium, with some pink but not bloody. He reiterated that my only choices were "pink" or "no pink," so I selected pink. What arrived was a completely well-done burger. For a restaurant serving grass-fed beef, that's honestly a shame. If you're going to highlight the quality of your beef, the kitchen should know how to cook it properly, especially when a customer has clearly communicated their preference. To make matters worse, the burger was advertised as coming with garlic aioli. What I received was essentially plain mayonnaise with a generous amount of raw bell peppers. I'm not sure in what world that qualifies as garlic aioli, but it certainly wasn't what was described or what I expected. The menu description was misleading, and the combination itself was bizarre. Overall, the experience was frustrating. When a restaurant emphasizes quality ingredients, I expect that same level of care in preparation, execution, and menu accuracy. Unfortunately, this burger missed the mark on all three. Grass-fed beef deserves better than being cooked into oblivion.

Very personable, and accommodating. We had 30 people present. The manager accommodated our group for a dinner reservation at 3:00, an hour before they opened. Ally (spelling?) was our waitress and even with servers in our family, she's the best waitress I have ever seen. This women took all drink orders, delivered them. Took all food orders, delivered them, all hot, no errors, and all within the same time frame. Our drinks all remained full, but so did our hearts. Ally felt like a family member, even giving a little speech after being taunted lovingly, followed by a dance! 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up. Our entire party was so impressed with our whole experience, thank you Ally for sharing your time with us! #CollinsWeddingParty10.16.2026 Now on to the food! The portions are huge. The food was delicious, get the Rib Eye and smother that sucker. You won't be sad after! The only thing that might give Ally a run for her money is the Beer Cheese that comes with their delicious and shareable pretzel! The Braised Beef Pasta was mouthgasmic! This was my first time here and I already know next time, I'll be ordering the jambalaya!! I also had major food envy over the Clam Chowder in a sourdough bread bowl!!

We came to Oakhurst Grill during a Labor Day staycation at Bass Lake. It was obviously a very busy…read moreholiday weekend, so the restaurant was packed and the food took quite a while to arrive. 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.

We ordered seven dishes, and everything arrived freshly cooked and flavorful. Most of the dishes were well-prepared and delicious. My only problem are that the steamed rice was slightly undercooked, the walnut shrimp had a breading that was a bit too hard and seemed over-fried, and the Mongolian beef was cut into very small pieces, making it difficult to appreciate the beef since the onions were more prominent. Our favorite dishes were the seafood tofu soup and the sweet and sour fish fillet. Both were perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. Despite a few minor issues, the overall dining experience was very good. If you're looking for Chinese food in the Oakhurst/Yosemite area, I would still highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

The combo plate was ok -didn't expect the Mongolian beef to be spicier than usual but that's on me bc it did have a pepper sign on the menu. I ended up trading my dad for his plate and gave him my shrimp fried rice. The shrimp fried rice was decent and there was a lot of shrimp. Did ask for chili oil and they accommodate so I really appreciated it! unfortunately bc we were at closing we did eat in a hurry but it was fine, we really just wanted a hot meal bc we were tired from the day. They were doing their best to delay cleaning the floors too The decor was your average Chinese restaurant and they had a little trinkets and knick knack counter at the front for people to browse which was cute.

Raley's supermarkets consistently offer a top-quality, expansive selection of fresh produce. They are known for sourcing fresh, seasonal items from nearby farms, which reduces shipping time and ensures peak freshness. Their strong relationships with local farmers also give those growers a reliable retail outlet while providing customers with the best seasonal offerings. The bakery is equally impressive, featuring creative fruit pies, consistently high-quality baked goods, and the irresistible aroma of items fresh from the oven. This particular location also stands out for its nice selection of Yosemite-themed gifts and souvenirs, including hats, hoodies, stickers, magnets, shot glasses, mugs, and more. Prices here are typically 15-30% lower than at local gift shops or inside the park village. The restrooms are generally well-maintained and clean, which is always appreciated on a long drive. Overall, this Raley's is my reliable one-stop shop to grab coffee, fruit, a sandwich, and take a quick restroom break before continuing to Yosemite.

Unfortunately, the quality was far below expectations. The coffee had a noticeably salty, unpleasant taste, and the matcha was extremely bitter with no trace of vanilla at all. We order this same drink regularly at other cafés, so we know what it should taste like--this was not it at all. It was also far too strong for a child, despite specifically asking for it to be kid-friendly. When I politely brought this up, I was surprised by how it was handled. I simply asked to add a little vanilla for it to taste better. Instead of offering to remake the drink or find a solution, I was told I would need to purchase a new one. I rarely ever ask for drinks to be redone, but this one was genuinely undrinkable. What made the situation worse was the attitude of the staff. The response felt dismissive and unprofessional, particularly from an employee named DJ. The interaction left us feeling unwelcome and unheard. Overall, poor quality drinks and disappointing customer service. We won't be returning.

I didn't think much of it in the moment. But then, they didn't give me a receipt or even offer one, which felt suspicious. I asked for it, and as soon as they handed it over, all the employees quickly disappeared into the back like they knew something was wrong. When I got to my car and actually looked at the receipt, I realized they charged me for extra avocado I never asked for--and even worse, they added their own tip without my permission. I was absolutely livid. I go to Subway all the time, and this has NEVER happened to me before. I went back in to confront them, and they acted completely clueless--then tried to turn it around and blame me. After some pushing, I finally got my change back, but that doesn't undo the shady behavior. This was my first visit--and trust me, it's also my last. Completely unacceptable. Also subway wasn't the best.
