I am dining in this eatery as of 23 Jan 2026. Food and coffee are so bad I had to write a review now itself. Portion sizes were huge but food quality taste and temperature were very poor. Potatoes were burnt and hard like they were from yesterday. Eggs were bland. Coffee was super light and almost water. Croissant was probably the best, of which you get one tiny per plate. They did not have bread/toast so had to purchase a bagel to get that. Wasted almost $40 for this. This is not a national park lodge breakfast eatery…. Some private corporation scam. Gotta improve guys! Dont let yosemite and californians down…

Scrambled eggs are dry and overcooked and do not taste like actual eggs. Cheeseburger meal was surprisingly decent. Very few healthy options. There are vegan meals available. Average food overall

While staying at the Yosemite Valley Lodge we had breakfast at the Base Camp Eatery. This is a cafeteria style restaurant right in the Lodge common area (near the lodge main office). We walked the short distance to the Eatery where there was a small line. You place your order at electronic kiosks with a number of options for the morning meal, and for most items on the menu you can customize your order. They also serve dinner and lunch but we enjoyed those meals at other locations in the Valley. After you place your order – and pay for it at the kiosk – you receive a receipt with your order number.

The kitchen staff prepares your meal and calls your number. My wife and I ordered the same thing our first morning, the Breakfast Bundle. We both often for Bacon (pork sausage was the other option) which was served with scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. 

My wife found a table while I wanted for our food (at certain times, an indoor table can be elusive – she found one in just a few minutes). We were both pleased with our meal. The scrambled eggs and potatoes were seasoned well and the bacon had minimal gristle. There was ample serving for a reasonable price – especially knowing we were deep inside a National Park. They do serve coffee but we splurged and ordered Mocha Latte from Starbucks which is next door.

On our second morning we wanted a lighter breakfast as we had plans for a bigger lunch that day. We ordered two Yogurt parfait with a side order of two pastries. It was a good sized container with greek style yogurt – with added blueberries and strawberries. I also selected one fruit danish and one chocolate croissant. Once again,. we both enjoyed our orders. I appreciate having a quality meal available in such a convenient location in the park with reasonable prices.

I did note several bad reviews and it looks like it’s related to lunch or dinner meals.

I just went here and it was awful!!! Ever bit of it!! I ordered by kiosk chicken strips and fries(for $18!), you then wait to here your number called. I ordered for to-go and they gave me a open dish. After asking for a to-go box, the guy literally dumped the food in a box all mad. I walked 2 minutes back to my room and I recieved 2 tiny cold chicken strips, and old cold fries! They gave me dill dip for a dipping sauce! I had to pay for the other dipping sauce!
I had intentions of going to the nicer sit down restaurant next door at 4:30pm, but they didnt open until 5pm.
You are better off buying groceries and bringing them instead of eating in this cafeteria style place with gross, cold food!

I paid $12 for a pizza, and every single slice was burnt.
When I went to the counter to ask about it, the staff told me that they had too many orders and that this was the best they could do.

I’m honestly confused — does being busy mean customers are expected to accept burnt food?
Charging $12 for this level of quality, along with this kind of response, is unacceptable.

The only place to eat at yosemite Valley so your options are somewhat limited to whats on offer at that time.
Place is packed with tourist and hikers and is loud with limited seats and tables.
We got the pizza and cheeseburger and I’d have to say this was the safest options.
Pizza was good tasting and the cheeseburger no complaints.

No cash, card only for payment

The cheapest and most convenient eatery in Yosemite Valley. The breakfast dishes are fairly good and reasonably priced ($4.25 for the eggs, $6 for the porridge), but the lunch and dinner selection is awful. The portion sizes are tiny, the prices inflated, and the food won’t even be good-tasting or healthy. Last night we got their “soup of the day”, which was chicken and vegetable. The soup was an overly-salted mush.

No possible way is this rating legit. Where do I start? The bun for burger… super low quality. It was almost like it was disintegrating as I was eating the burger. They forgot the bacon but did correct it. Don’t waste your money on the burger sauce. You can do a mix of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise and that’s free. Skip the fries if you’re looking for that crispy unhealthy goodness.

The so-called crispy chicken sandwich is almost like chicken salad with some sort of crunchy add-on sprinkled over it. The coleslaw‘s got to be the worst I’ve ever had was some tangy aftertaste that left me thinking the ingredients had spoiled.

It could help if they warmed or toasted the buns. They need something to help. Warm food with cold buns isn’t very complimenting.

The fountain drinks. Don’t waste your time. If I had to guess, every one of them was flat and watery. The attendant said they would check it out but my guess is they just say that to everyone. I tried Coke zero and Diet Coke and both were the same. I don’t think the carbonation is working on that system. They definitely don’t have the right mixture of syrup.

My guess is to how the rating could be more than a 2 is they have a bunch of starving hikers that pretty much anything is good.

Over the course of a week, had several different breakfast options. Best options were the breakfast bundle (bacon, eggs, potatoes) though the potatoes needed ketchup and Tabasco to render them edible, or the pancakes. The chilaquiles were tasty with plenty of pork, but the fried egg on it was like a leather hockey puck (premade and kept warm). Worst breakfast burrito ever, kept in a warmer.

I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. It was dense and tasteless, liking chewing rubber, only the roll was satisfactory. The prices are reasonable but the quality of the food is utterly unacceptable. It’s best to just bring cold sandwiches and salads (in a large cooler) from home or purchase these items from a local deli as you drive to the Park.
