Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by my lunch here. The hostess was lovely and super nice. Ordering was easy and there were multiple vegetarian options which I appreciated. We ate outside overlooking the meadow, very peaceful. I was able to get a good ice coffee with oat milk which is hard to find in a park. The hummus wrap was honestly great, excited to recreate it at home!

Very beautiful place to stop for lunch. The menu is great and the service is outstanding. The food was served in reasonable time and it tasted great.

Food was terrible – it looked nothing like the photos on the menu. I ordered a pizza and the chocolate cake. The cake was actually a walnut brownie rather than the three layer cake slice pictured, with no mention it contained nuts. Also they had no diet soda at all. No staff available to complain about the food. Bag overpriced experience all round.

Our food took really long and the place was understaffed. The pizza in the menu had way more toppings than what was served to us. The place was understaffed with only two servers, there was nobody to complain to either. Nachos were alright. The place is decent considering this is among the very few eateries around the Visitor’s Center.

Come for the atmosphere and the convenience.
On the positive side, the hostess for breakfast regaled visitors with dad jokes and consistently got customers laughing. The omelette I ordered was decent and a great way to have a healthy breakfast before a day of hiking.
The pictures are from the second night we came for dinner (the same thing happened yesterday). Be prepared to bus tables in order to create a space. We watched guests wipe down eating and seating areas because staff had not done anything.
As far as dinner food, the caprese sandwich was undercooked and cold. The summer berry salad was tasty.

The food is quite good, but everything else at this “restaurant” is pitiful. They have taken what was once a lovely table service restaurant, and stripped all of the “service” and charm from it, turning it into a fast food counter-serve spot. You order at a digital kiosk outside on the courtyard, but one of the two kiosks was out of service, so it takes twice as long to order as it should. There’s a QR to allow you to order from your phone, but mobile service in that area is basically non-existent, so that’s mostly useless. I acknowledge that the real problem here is staffing, and their inability to hire sufficient personnel, but that’s a problem of pay, and the concessionaire definitely isn’t going to erode their profit margins to maintain service levels, especially since they’re basically the only food service in the area. Beyond that, the menu options are mostly fine, but there are no fries on the menu. You can sit in the lovely dining room, but everything is served out the window, to-go style, on paper trays with plastic cutlery, which is tremendously wasteful. At least the chili was good, and the Caesar salad was excellent when you add chicken to it, which you can do. The burger was dry and bland. Finally, check your order carefully for completeness and accuracy BEFORE you leave the counter. You may need additional dressing for your salad, and they didn’t get the options right on one of my items. 2 stars because the 2 people who were working there were really trying. It’s corporate who is to blame for this disappointment.

The front desk person was friendly taking our order but that was about all our interactions. You then sit and your food is brought out to you. Pretty chill environment, nice patio with a view of meadow. The food was ok, my meal was great but two of my daughters pizzas were undercooked. There aren’t really any other options in the area so it’s kinda all you got. But we did eat the Wasuki?? Lodge and it was much better but about 40 mins away.

We were forced to eat here and the reviews were correct; the food is not good but very pricey! We ordered French toast, oatmeal and order of bacon, and fruit and that cost almost $30. The oatmeal was stiff and hard. My friend said the French toast wasn’t good at all. The bacon was fried so hard that it crumbled. And it took 30 minutes to get the food!!! Smh
There are no servers just person who takes order and one yo bring food. Low quality of service because they know visitors don’t have any other option.

A hidden gem for vegetarians! We got the veggie pizza, it was crunchy and loaded with veggies and so good in taste!! The size was smaller than we expected for the price charged. The burger was okay, I personally don’t like quinoa lentil patty, i wish they had black bean patty! Surprisingly, the vegetarian soup was really nice.

I never put in bad reviews but dinner was terrible. Had to order off a kiosk. ( I get staffing issues but not a nice atmosphere). We ordered a burger and chicken sandwich. The burger tasted liked it was cooked 3 hours ago and sitting in a warming tray. The chicken sandwich was also cooked a while ago. The food was very bland and almost un-eatable.
The Chili that came with it tasted liked it came out of a can. It was the best item we ate. Please step up your game. Worst $48.00 dinner I’ve ever eaten.
(Peaks restaurant in Sequoia on the other hand (which we ate at last night) was a 5 star. )
