Tuolumne Meadows Grill

Indulge in delicious burgers and soft-serve ice cream after a long day of hiking. Here’s a tip: pick up a six-pack from the store next door and enjoy it at the picnic bench!

4 stars for the store; it's small, but they have enough stuff for you to come by. 5 stars for the post office between the store and the grill. It can be the smallest existence, but it processes a mountain of packages. Just ask Postman Mike and he'll tell you. The food is not the best, but it gets the job done if you are hungry and you are likely. Standouts are the veggie chili and the bacon and ei biscuit. Fries are also good. I didn't have the burger, but I think it's pretty good because I saw many others with burgers in my hand. The staff is always beautiful.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at Yosemite. Despite it being peak season, the line moved quickly, even though it stretched outside the door. The staff, especially the chefs, worked efficiently. However, the credit card machine was quite slow. There are several picnic tables outside for dining, and the main business next door is a great addition. This place is very friendly for PCT hikers!

After a long day of hiking, enjoying a burger and fries is pure magic! Just be prepared for a wait, especially as closing time approaches—definitely avoid arriving at 5 p.m. or 4:59 p.m.! As a bonus, grab some beer from the store next door and enjoy your meal at the picnic tables out front.

Location, location, location. At the end of 35 miles on the trail their burgers and steak fries taste amazing. After driving there, not as much. They close at 6:00, right when you want to eat, and the prices are high for what you get, but they are in the right place.
