Our consisten order of the Breakfast Burrito. Always, Always tastes so good. Feeds both of us...(elderly peeps) Kathy is as usual, Very Sweet, Attentive, and helpful. Experienced, knowledgeable, Soo Kind. Prices are on the upper end, but, then again....they cannot survive otherwise. Still recommend highly. Place is busy, and yet comfortable! read more

We ate here after a race at the college, and it was packed -- but the staff handled it like total pros! They got everyone seated quickly, took our orders efficiently, and our food came out faster than I expected (even with a chicken fried steak in the mix). I grew up in a restaurant, so I know how hard it is to keep things consistent when it's that busy -- but they nailed it. The hash browns were crispy, the waffles were perfect, and everything tasted great. We all had such a good time. I'm so impressed and can't wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I ordered the chicken fried stake. It came with so much food, and I added a side salad. So good. Would have gave 5 stars,but they only had one waitress. I felt so sorry for her,she was older lady and did great job all by herself. read more

Food was top notch. The host informed me that they bake and prepare almost everything. He said very few items are bought that need to be frozen. The area is well lit and even played Mexican music. Several TVs and a great selection of desserts. They have Pepsi!!!! read more

Super attentive service. Everything was very tasty. I had the Country Eggs Benedict, however with hollandaise sauce, I ate every bite. The only downside is they don't offer latte's and the lame excuse they have on why they don't offer them is it would be a conflict of interest with Starbucks in the same shopping center!! That's a nice way of saying they just don't want to spend the money on a espresso machine. read more

Went here for breakfast. The food is basic breakfast food. The quality was standard and perfectly acceptable, just nothing super exciting. I needed to add salt and hot sauce since it was a bit bland. The most disappointing thing was they don't offer lattes or different coffee drinks. The service was great, very attentive. read more

Menu has changed Not as many items as before and the food is different Server said two years ago the menu was changed Not going to argue burger and French dip dry and I guess onions are on the endangered list Used to love eating there but now not sure anymore read more

Arrived to what I thought was a not so busy morning. In one total hour of waiting, we just got drinks before we decided to leave. Folks that arrived after our party were seated before and only begrudgingly they seated us once we asked why people that arrived after us were seated. I guess it made it better that those folks still did not have food by the time we ended up leaving. Maybe the food was good, guess we'll never know. read more

My parents love this place, but I can only advise you that it is worth visiting for their pie. I feel like this is literally the best chocolate cream pie I've ever had! Looking forward to going back and trying some more sweet treats. read more

Food is great! Amazing sun exposure early I. The morning, it's start to get busy perhaps they can set the out door area, and make sure the one staff older lady smiles more, she is very rude! And is not the person to wake up too. Merced is a community either sunshine we need that energy for coming to this place to start our days and long hard work weekend. Overall the chef needs a price the food is so good that I can forget about the rest! Seating should be a bit quicker if they have tables, instead of saying someone call out! read more

I come here with my uncle at least once a month for breakfast, sometimes once a week. The food is literally the best, the steak, the eggs Benedict, the hamburgers, the meatloaf, and the pies are everything we always save room for pie or carrot cake. The service is always amazing never had a bad time here and will keep coming back every month. read more

Second time coming here and the food is always good. First time I got a breakfast burrito and I think I liked it a bit more. The chicken fried steak needed a bit more seasoning but it was still good. The service though is great and the place is also nice and cute. read more

Yosemite Station - Chicken fried steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Merced, California

Friday morning I went in to have breakfast with my son (9:45am) and surprisingly there was no line and nobody waiting. We waited to be seated just like the sign asked, waited for about 8-10 minutes without being approached by a hostess or anybody else. Finally after that time a shorter gentleman with glasses walks up to the podium with menus, puts the menus down, doesn't acknowledge us even though we were sitting directly across from the the podium and right next to the front doors. Then comes back and says "it's going to be a few minutes before I can seat you" (the whole right side of the restaurant was empty and directly in front of me on the left was maybe half full.) restaurant did not seem busy at all so I responded with "that's fine we can wait." Assuming it'd be maybe another minute or so up to 5 minutes. He walks away without another word and then doubles back and says it's gonna be about 15-20 minutes before I can seat you. I was one single adult with a 7 year old. The response Seemed a bit ridiculous and lazy in my opinion. This was my first and last visit unfortunately. I used to love Paul's place when it was on G Street and there was never issues like this all of a sudden they have a new name, new location and I don't believe I'd go back there again. Sad to say but Dennys offers better service than this. read more

Yosemite Station - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Merced, California

Service is pretty hit or miss at this place. They seem to be bad at their job in general though. Slow and overpriced food items that aren't cooked very well. Definitely a kitchen nightmares type of vibe. There is 0 quality control and items are hit or miss. Been here several times and sadly don't think I will be coming back. Fool me 3 times shame on you. Spot seriously could be good but needs help. read more

Every time I go to Yosemite station I have the same experience, very long wait times even when the restaurant is not busy and excellent food. I was very disappointed Sunday when I met friends at Yosemite Station for lunch. My friend who has trouble standing, had to wait to be seated, even though there were only a few tables taken. Because I had been there before I made sure I had a fun size candy bar in my purse. I hadn't eaten in hours and it took almost an hour to get my food so thankfully, I was able to eat my candy bar. The waitress could've been nicer, at one point she said I only have two hands. We did not receive an apology for the wait until the very end which made me think, Maybe she was concerned about her tip. I do have to say the food is very good. They make the best chicken marsala I've had in a long time. I probably will not go back to this restaurant unless my friends want to eat there. If you're hungry and you choose Yosemite station, make sure you have a back up plan like a little snack in your purse or backpack. read more

Love this place! Found it the day we moved my kid to the area for college. Went back weeks later for my birthday lunch and it was great again! It is clean, love the decor, food is good and has large portions. The fries are so good AND they have good ranch! They offer all of my favorites: taco salad, French dip, patty melt and pie - can't wait to visit again! read more

if i could give 0 stars i would... dirty utensils, hair on food, horrible service. The server (Alicia S) gave me such a disgusting attitude and never checked in on us. Personally we never ask for a lot but it felt like we didn't even get anything in the first place... read more

The quality of the food, the portion size, cooked to perfection and flavor of the food are bar none. Latoya is an incredible chef!!!! The customer service is above and beyond. Kathleen is so helpful, friendly and attentive to us as customers. We come back here again and again because of the food, service and atmosphere. read more

The food is very straightforward. Typical diner options. The new location is nice and the servers are kind. The pies were delicious! read more

Excellent service. Been going since you opened and at the old Location as Paul's. Sad to see senior menu gone. Noticed a huge change in hash browns today and my Wife's fries . The change of these two items are horriable. Bring the old Fries back and hash browns. read more

I chose this place over panda. Wanted to try something different. It was a mistake. The service is nice but I'm not a fan of the interior. Just not visually please to sit and eat at. I can't tell you about the food because I only order the hamburger and it sucked. And I paid $30 which is in my opinion too much. I will probably will not be coming back. read more

I'm a breakfast lover and boy did I get my fill. We were greeted by friendly staff. Service was excellent and food was wonderful prepared.

DELICIOUS Food, Service is a bit slow depending on busyness, it's a bit noisy but easy to tone out. overall, I recommend eating here 10/10

The food was delicious. Eggs cooked to perfection. We went for my cousin's birthday and she was given a free slice of pie. Our server was a very nice young lady, Jennifer, who was very efficient. My cousin, who had been to Paul's Place, thought it was still very good. We both agreed this place deserves return visits! read more

Yosemite Station - Chicken Fried steak and eggs and Country Benedict..... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Merced, California

For a family of 4, the bill came out to 90 dollars. The menu is half the size as their previous owners. Even the staff agreed with our comments when we questioned why the price up charges and menu changes. Definitely do not recommend eating here. Maybe if you get a discount from knowing someone, but I am not spending extra to get a basic "American-Style" breakfast (2 eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes). We didn't even try the lunch menu . read more

Came for the first time today. Place was clean and lots of servers. Our server was very friendly. Ordered the Guacamole burger. It was okay. Not much flavor to it. read more

I come to Merced to visit family and every visit we love to make a stop at Yosemite Station. I wish I had taken pictures of my food to post (next time). We love the senior menu because of the portions and prices. I ordered from the regular menu, the club sandwich was huge. The dinner's come with sides, salad, and rolls. The waitress we had this Sunday went above and beyond beyond. She was kind and attentive. Great family restaurant! read more

Two PANCAKES for $14 and no quality at all, Denny's would be a wayyy better option and probably half the price. Quality of food at Yosemite station is hmmm ok (McDonalds/Denny's quality). The menu at this Yosemite Station is horrible. If you are into pancakes with eggs and sausage and hash brow, then don't go to Yosemite. Just the pancakes by it self (2) water quality mix with a bunch of whip cream on top are 14 dollars, if you want eggs add 7 dollars and sausage or hash brown is also extra $$$$..... If in Merced then I recommend Country Waffles on Olive Ave, that is a great breakfast place. read more

First time here. We went around 10am on a Friday. The place looks nice, very clean. We were seated right away. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. I enjoyed the service. It wasn't too fast where I felt rushed but it wasn't too slow either. I feel like w got a decent about of food for the price. The food was good (I had chorizo and eggs), just not great. I'm hoping to go again to try a lunch or dinner. The cakes in the case looked wonderful. Maybe on the next trip I can bump it up to five stars. Again, what I had was good, but very average. read more

First time in today on 7/6/25. Mine and my kids server, Andy gave excellent service and hospitality. Definitely will be returning because of Andy's service. The food was great and my kids loved the strawberry pie. Did not waiting at all. Seated immediately. Andy checked on us a lot. And the ambiance was great and family friendly read more

Shocked at the prices. We ordered 2 meals and waited an hour, in a half full restaurant. Waitress was kind and cheerful. Once the food came I was irritated they charge so much. Overcooked omelet, dry flavorless potatoes. My husband said we never need to go back and he had chicken fried steak. Also there are no booths and the seats aren't comfortable, the feel is somewhere between a college cafeteria and McDonald's. Food quality matches the ambiance but the prices don't. read more

Cute little restaurant with wonderful food and great service. My salad was amazing with fresh spring mix. My son has a burger with a pile of fries. My husband had an omelet that he said was really good. I wish there were more places like this. We look forward to coming again the next time we visit Merced. read more

Paul's Place is now Yosemite Station We stopped for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to find out this is the new location for the rebranded "Paul's Place" I miss the quaint charm of the 70s style diner at the old location. The "strip mall eatery" feel that this new location offers is sad; but it was clean and had the same business-card tables and good 70s music in the background. The new location also features barstool seating if you prefer. They have a smaller version of their bakery, stocked with delicious looking pies, cakes, and cinnamon rolls. The pies and rolls are made on site and were tasty! I bought one serving each! The menu is still very large with breakfast served all day. I had the Texas Burger which was served on Texas toast with thick slices of bacon and huge onions rings, all held top with a big steak knife. Very tasty burger patty but I couldn't finish the plate! Took the left over steak fries to go (along with my desserts). Service was good and the prices were very good! We agreed this place should be a regular stop for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I forgot to take a picture! read more

Wellllll we won't be back. We were disappointed as soon as we walked in. It's nothing like Paul's Place was. No booths. Noisy. Service was good but not great. Food was 6/10 at best. Server didn't return to check on us and we didn't get a coffee refill. Too bad. We loved going to Paul's. read more

Although I've enjoyed Ryan's and Paul's Yosemite Station is nothing more than a fish bowl without ambiance and overcrowded seating. Our order was incorrect BLT's and soup..incorrect I say. It wasn't a good visit at all. read more

The food was not great. It's below Denny's and probably won't be back again. Came for breakfast and the food wasn't good... just edible. Non of us finished our food... maybe finish about half the serving since we needed to hit to road and need some food to hold us over till the next stop. read more

Never been to this place before so here it goes. Order the breakfast enchiladas which are made with eggs and chorizo topped with an enchilada sauce, a little guacamole and some sour cream. They were fantastic. The enchilada sauce they make in-house. I will say that when I got my first order, the enchilada sauce was cold, but when I brought it to their attention, they immediately got me new enchiladas and they were fantastic. The potatoes that come with the dish are large diced red potatoes which were creamy and not overcooked. The potatoes were cooked with red onions and red bell peppers with just a little bit of butter mixed in. They were fantastic. The Portuguese beans, which they also make in-house, were the bomb. The service here was excellent. The only negative thing I will have to say is their coffee is not very good. I thoughat first that it might be the lowest grade of farmers but it was Folgers. Now I am certain that the locals love this coffee, but while I don't need gourmet coffee, I don't want watery weak coffee either. However, that's the only negative thing. I highly recommend this place. read more
