    Sad, I hope it's not permanently closed!!

    Always loved the Chili cheese fries, zucchini and onion rings! Burgers are awesome too! Hope they reopen!!

    Great place to stop for a bite heading toward Yosemite. Keep a sharp eye on the right side as you pass the traffic light and round the bend. This is your old style burger joint with some added menu items. Most notably is a breakfast menu which features omelets, pancakes and other items. I came for a quick lunch. The new items was the smash burger which sounded good: sautéed onions mixed in the beef with cheese and 1000 island dressing plus the fixings. I went with the cheeseburger and it was plenty. The meal came with a big pile of onion rings of which maybe I ate a third. The food and service is great. The prices, especially for breakfast. The omelets are over $20! Also I did not see shakes /ice cream.

    I can't believe this meal cost me $20 FML

    I got the chicken gyro. Chicken portion was huge, sauce (tzatziki) and bread were ok. Overall it sucked. All you taste is just chicken and bread. There was no lettuce or feta cheese, there was barely any red onions and a bunch of tomato chunks. It was the most whitewashed blandest gyro I've ever tasted. The fries are just as bland, no salt or seasoning. Don't ever waste your money on these fries, order the onion rings instead. The customer service was great though. Really nice people. You can tell this is a local establishment where everyone knows each other.

    Pros: *Good food *Sit down & drive thru *Staff was very nice and helpful Cons: *Prices. Not sure if it cause of rural location, food cost, or tourist location Extra: *They have specials

    Perfectly fried chicken fried steak. I like my gravy on the side!

    Do you know what the most remarkable thing about this diner-style restaurant is? It has a drive-through!! Very basic menu items, but everything I saw passed by me looked delicious. I opted for the chicken fried steak with gravy on the side. It was perfectly fried, and the gravy had a perfect consistency and flavor. You order and pay at the counter, but they will bring the food out to you. The staff was very friendly, and their diner was full of locals. An inexpensive stop-in for breakfast if you're on the way in or out.

    The food was ok. The onion rings were over done to the point of being like rocks. The burger was the same, the cook made my whole meal well done. The service was good, we ordered at the counter and they brought the food to the table. The other thing is the menu behind the counter was a confused mess. It had meals listed under sides and thing that they don't sell still on it. The wife wanted to order fish and chips but was told they don't sell that any more. The she was told they sell a fish dinner. Hmm for $4 more she got fish and fries. The dinning room was clean and quite.

    Date of visit: May 26, 2024 Order: Chicken Sandwich Combo with French Fries, 1/4 lb Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Rings Went here on the way out of Oakhurst Memorial Day weekend 2024 to grab lunch and immediately gave them brownie points in my mind coz I am a sucker for an old American diner style vibe, only the great part with Pete's, is that the staff is equally as courteous! Ordered a chicken sandwich with fries for my girlfriend and a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings for myself. The chicken sandwich was like what you'd expect a chicken sandwich to be -- nice, big filet, good spicy sauce, lightly toasted bun (I forget the veggies in there), all in all, a solid sandwich there. Moving on to the fries...now I realize a lot of this review is going to sound like I am exaggerating, but believe me, I ain't! The fries were a perfect golden blend of crisp, fried potato and JUST the right amount of salt -- not too less, not too much (which has been an all too common experience for me at basically every place lately). On to the main event: the Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Rings -- I will get the onion rings out of the way, and on the way, deduct a couple points on this one; while the rings themselves very pretty good, good amount of crisp, not dripping with oil, good ratio of breading to onion, they did feel a tad too salty, unsure if it was the rings themselves or the ranch that made them feel so, but just something to note. But, the burger itself, hands down THE BEST CHEESEBURGER I've had in my life -- absolutely perfectly cooked bacon, laying on top of the most succulent medium well patty, makes me want to quote Marshal Ericsson from that one episode of How I Met Your Mother: "Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it's so much more than "just a burger." I mean... that first bite-oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then... a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a... a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us in food." To sum up, I don't know if it was the hospitality, the ambience, the fact that I was tired AF after driving ~900 miles in 2 days or Pete just landed the best burger chef's on the planet, I am surely going to recommend my next friends' trip be to Yosemite with a stay at Oakhurst just so I can grab myself a few more meals at Pete'e Place. Signing off -KT

    I guess Pete's is under new management, well they suck! I just paid $16.00 for this Club Sandwich only. Can't blame this one on Joe Biden! If I lived in town I would have took it back. Liked this hometown restaurant when it was family owned. Never again - Travelers Beware!!

    I cannot even begin to describe how incredibly nice everyone was at this place!!! Smiling, friendly and having fun.my grandson ordered the breakfast burrito and I had the two egg with bacon breakfast. We both had a side of pico de gallo. I loved the place. Burger joint.

    WOW What can I say about Oakhurst Grill! This place is a favorite spot whenever I'm in the…read moreOakhurst/Yosemite area. I absolutely love this spot and it never disappoints! I've visited this spot many times when in the area. Lots of parking although this place gets really busy during dinner and peak times. This spot is pretty big inside with a bar area and a separate main dining area. Clean and well organized with lots of dining tables. Arrived early for this visit around 4:30pm to beat the dinner crowd. Chose to be seated in the main dining area which was still empty with only a couple tables taken. Provided with a menu and ordered the following: ***Meiomi Pinot Noir 5/5 - superb! $14 ***Bowl of clam chowder 5/5 - a MUST order, sooo flavorful!!! $12 A couple at the next table saw my bowl and asked about it, which I highly recommended and they agreed when they got their bowl. ***Hawaiian salmon kabob 5/5 - so delish! $15 ***Chicken marsala over pasta with veges 4/5 - very tasty! $28 For dessert, got a bruleed cheesecake bites ($9). It was sooo good!! 5/5 Staff are friendly with great customer service! Felicia has been my server and helped me during my last couple of visits. She is so cool! Will definitely visit again.

    Oakhurst is a tourist town outside of Yosemite. The options in the area are fairly limited so…read moreplaces like Oakhurst Grill capitalize on this. We decided to try Oakhurst Grill because it was one of the only places still open when we rolled into town. (Places close early here) Service- 2.5/5: Both times I've been here the waitresses have been polite and somewhat attentive. We were seated within 20 mins but had another 15min wait to actually place our order. It seemed like it took awhile to just get started with drinks. They do a high volume here with a large staff so the service is likely inconsistent. Food quality: 3/5 My burger was actually very good, with 1/2lb of quality beef. I would get it again. I've had the chicken Alfredo which was ok, but nothing extraordinary. Steak tips for an appetizer were ok and the crab cakes were flavorful. My vegan friend had the Al Fresco (Tomato, artichoke heart, Mediterranean olive blend, garlic, onion, spinach and mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, served over penne pasta with a side of ciabatta bread.) He barely touched it because it just didn't taste good. Everyone at the table tried it and agreed we wouldn't recommend it. The cheesecake "bites" for dessert is more like a slice of previously frozen cheesecake cut into 2 pieces, with a drizzle of syrup on top. Atmosphere- 4/5: The interior is dated but had a rustic vibe that fits the environment. The outdoor seating has a nice view but the exterior is rather narrow for the size of the tables. Value- 3/5: Pricing is higher but what I would expect near a national park. The potions were generous. Overall- 3/5: I would eat here again if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to. It is more geared toward tourists.

    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.

I went to their website, placed an order, and paid online. Shortly after, I received a text saying DoorDash would be delivering my order. Then I got a call from the DoorDash driver saying they had arrived at the restaurant, but the restaurant was claiming they didn't have a website and didn't have my order. The charge on my credit card showed the business name, so the whole situation was extremely confusing. I ended up having to cancel the charge with my credit card company, and since we had a large group with limited options, we had to go inside and place an order directly. Walking in, the place had a very strange vibe. It almost felt like a restaurant that was not fully set up or had recently changed ownership. It was very bare, there were no napkins in the holders, and the arcade area was completely empty except for a couch. The whole atmosphere felt off. Unfortunately, the pizza itself was not good either. I'm not sure what happened with this place, whether it recently changed hands or something else, but based on our experience, I would recommend staying away.
