    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 have come here for over thirty years this place recently changed hands, and for a couple weeks, they were almost on a par with the super successful local business they sought to keep intact.. I have given them multiple chances before writing this review. I will say they have a super cheerful gal in the drive-through. She is the only reason we have gone back because she keeps saying they're working on things. Well, after today, we're done. This is how they served our TO GO order . There is NO WAY they didn't know when they bagged this. We asked for extra ranch dressing and they have made their dressing containers so small that they are half the size of what they were ,so when we got these two huge orders of zucchini there was hardly enough for half an order....and NO EXTRA. Since our home is fifteen miles away, we could hardly turn around and go back. There is a reason this place was so popular and stayed in business for over thirty years. Whoever has taken over has doubled the batter and put in about half of the amount of zucchini. It is completely unseasoned, and the oil tastes old. For being a new business taking over the mountain areas crown jewelry, they seem to not have much of a care. DO BETTER. I could go on about the other times and other chances. I have given them but I will stop here. Pictures speak 1000 words.

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.

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.
