“ Great, cozy restaurant in the resort. Was really impressed with the quality of the food. I had the chicken under a brick and it was flavorful and cooked well. The portion was very generous. We also had the churros for dessertwhat a delicious treat! The staff was friendly. We had a large group and they were very accommodating and experienced. Would definitely eat there again. ”
“ We decided to go to Cedar House Restaurant instead of the restaurant at our hotel based on reviews. I am SO glad we did! Our waitress, Sandy, was so polite and quick to serve us. Our drinks stayed topped off and we received our food quickly! The chicken was very moist and flavorful. They have a diner that is connected to the same building under a different name. They have a full bar and other menu options. If we come back to Yosemite in the future, we will definitely eat here again! 1010 ”
“ Fries were crispy. Hamburger was delicious. Salad was fresh and a good choice of sauces. The waitress was very polite and corrected a wrong order immediately without any discussion. It was a good value for the canyon burger platter including salad and soup. The only thing you can discuss about is, if the soup fits for anyone. ”
“ Excellent service ”
“ Stayed at the Yosemite view lodge about 10 minutes away and food is pretty limited in the area. We decided to try out this restaurant which is located at another hotel, and the food was great for the price. Our bartender Sandy was wonderful! You can learn all about the history of the area and the restaurant. We had the california melt and chicken tenders with onion rings. Please check them out if youre in the area and hungry! ”
“ Great little spot burgers were great, they even gave us gluten free bread for our buns! Others loved the fries and onion rings too. Quick service, fresh ingredients and kind staff. ”
“ The food is great here, they even have televisions to watch sports. The portion for the onion ring and fries is huge. I wish they can give us more salsa for our chips. The pulled pork is great, but more meat and cheese will be better. ”
