    Onion rings
    Mallory J.

    Came here for dinner while staying in Mariposa for a wedding. It was soooo good. We got a beer flight, onion rings, bacon bbq burger, and buffalo wings. The wings were perfectly saucy, crispy, and meaty just how we like them. The burger's bun was so soft and the bacon was thick. Garlic fries and onion rings were crispy and perfectly cooked. The ranch seemed house made. Overall great choice, and all the girls working were friendly and there was great service overall.

    Service was quick and friendly. The portion sizes are large so make sure you're hungry! But the food was really great, especially after spending a day hiking in Yosemite! Highly recommend stopping in for a bite! I got the Mac and cheese, it was so cheesy and gooey

    Amazing spot and always a great time! We love that they're dog friendly and we enjoy the beautiful days on their patio. Drinks and food are amazing, staff is always very friendly! The pups enjoyed the dog bowl with a puppy patty (plain burger patties)! Went with the Apple cider Paloma and Diablo margarita today, whooooh, some heat on that last one! Great beers too! Very good and a great place to stop!

    Y'all, this place is bomb! I wasn't really sure what to expect because I didn't check it out beforehand at all; my partner told me they'd have good beer and good food, so I went in blind! It's cute inside, a small bar area and a bigger dining space. Shabby-Chic Cowboy vibes. It was seat yourself, but they run your food and drinks. (Dinner is full service though.) I loved my beer--the White Wolf--which wasn't overbearing with the fruit at all! It was perfectly balanced and delightfully refreshing on this hot summer day! But it was the 1850 fries that stole the show!! That smoky pub cheese?! I want a 5 gallon bucket's worth to take home with me next time. The fries are SO garlicky, the steak bites perfectly seasoned! You gotta get an order. Trust me.

    First time eating at 1850 even after driving through Mariposa each year for the past 7 years to go to Yosemite. Honestly just never noticed it from the road and the next door burger place gets all the advertising and is quite apparent. We came on a Sunday afternoon after leaving Yosemite and found a comfy corner booth with AC right above us. Seat yourself and then go order at the front. We ordered and drinks came quickly and our food was out fairly soon after. We ordered way too much food as the "small plates" are basically entree size. The salmon cakes surprised me and were my favorite. I heard from those dining with me that the burger was delicious, the steak was decent and the small plates were tasty. Grabbed a couple mix packs of beers on the way out as well! Stop by if you're driving through Mariposa!

    Don't worry fooled. This is only half of the Hot Shot with Garlic fries. Delicious!

    First and foremost Mariposa does a great job at not only being my favorite little mountain town, but it also has incredible food. 1850 is no exception. From the delicious blackberry muddled Mocktail mule to the delicious hazy my guy got and just wait, the food. The restaurant itself is not small, but not big. I say that in a good way. You can hear the multitude of conversations taking place between what appeared to be some locals, but a lot of tourists. Being a town that's directly en route to your trip to Yosemite, I HIGHLY suggest this be one of your foodie spots. The staff is insanely friendly. Our waitress was nice and did a great job not making me feel 'extra' when I asked for the burger to be cut, she went above and beyond and had both our dinners split into 2. She understood our assignment ( order different things so they can be split and tasted by both my boyfriend and myself.) So, the food. When I say, those Ahi Tuna Nachos were very flavorful, I mean it. If wasabi isn't your thing, don't get it. If it is, yum yum. We ordered the Hot Shot burger with the upgraded garlic fries. The only 'negative' I can say about the entire meal is the burger did have a lot going on (in the best way) and maybe that's why it stood out more, but the patty, noticeably great quality, lacked salt. I'm not an add salt to everything kind of girl but I believe this would have taken it over the top if it had salt and pepper more blended into the patty. Tip: if you like a kick, order this. If you can't handle spice, opt-out. And if you love garlic, spend the extra change and upgrade those fries to the garlic. You won't regret it. Lastly, the surf and turf. The New York was cooked beautifully, as was the shrimp. Delicious. But what stole the show? The rosemary cream sauce that topped the steak. One of the best sauces I've ever had. It was such a great asset to the steak. Also, the mashed potatoes were full of flavor, creamy, and with some of that rosemary sauce, oh lord. Thank you 1850 for giving us an amazing anniversary weekend getaway meal!

    1850 Restaurant and Brewery in Mariposa, Ca is an amazing restaurant... or is it an amazing micro brewery? Whatever... the food is amazing, and the beer is a favorite among local beer lovers in Mariposa, Merced and Tuolumne Counties, and in everywhere in the southern gold country in the Sierra Nevada foothills. As you enter the restaurant, you're meeted and greeted by a friendly hostess. 1850 Restaurant and Brewery operates on what I call the "taqueria format." Alright... I'll explain... You walk up to the counter and you're greeted by a friendly staff member, You check out the menu from the overhead menu - in this case the printed menu - you order your food, you pay for it, in return you receive a "number." and You seat yourself at the open table of your choice. When your order is ready, it will be brought to you by a friendly server. On this Friday morning shortly after opening, the restaurant wasn't busy, so I didn't receive a "number," as my friendly server, Shelby, remembered me. From the "Lunch" section of the menu, I went with "Fish and Chips," which is one of my favorite meals, any time of day, any day of the week. Three generous fillets of cod fish were seasoned, battered, and perfectly deep fried, and placed on coleslaw. Oh my... such a perfect mixture of tender, white fish, and delicious batter! The fish was seated on a mixture of coleslaw and cabbage, which made for a beautiful presentation, and delightful dining. The slice on lemon made today's lunch even more delicious! The "chips" were basically fries, medium size, seasoned and deep fried to a perfect, crispy golden brown on the outside, and tender and juicy inside. Oh my! Simply delicious, and a great side to the fish. The tartar sauce that was included as a condiment wasn't your mom's every day garden variety from a bottle, as it was seasoned with dill, along with a touch of mustard, and was thick, creamy and simply delicious! Talk about a great dip for the fish! Simply delicious. Oh yes! ... I'd enjoy this amazing dip for everything, any day of the week! 1850 Restaurant and Brewery serves delicious fish and chips in beautiful Mariposa, located near the southern end of CA Highway 49, and the gold country. This is Five Star Dining any way you look at it!

    Death by chocolate
    Joyan S.

    We stopped here on the way back from Yosemite, and stopped by the place as they offered outdoor seating for our dog. I ordered the grilled chicken and my wife got the steak salad. The service was fast, and the food was very flavorful. I was definitely surprised by this restaurant in this small town. For dessert we had 'death by chocolate'. The cake was decently moist, but could use a scoop of ice cream on the side Overall would definitely recommend this place if you are driving through Mariposa on your way to Yosemite

    Patio dining on a lovely autumn night.
    Tashara H.

    I was here with a work group for dinner this week. We took up the outside patio. I was concerned about dining outside at night on a patio in November, but the weather was perfect, and the outdoor heaters kept the space very comfortable. Lighting was fairly dim, but added to the atmosphere. Parking was limited, but I found a spot without much trouble. I ordered the salmon with brown rice and zucchini. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was wonderfully seasoned. There was a green tzatziki sauce on the salmon that had a very complex flavor--a mix of pesto, lemon, and something else. I kept thinking I tasted pine or juniper, but suspect it was just a combination of flavors. While it wasn't a bad flavor, the confusing or overly complex flavor of it did detract from the enjoyability of the perfectly cooked salmon. The zucchini was served in large wedges. They were al dente and also perfectly seasoned. The brown rice was a bit dry--but typical for most brown rice dishes, and was mildly seasoned. Portions were good. Because we were with a large group and our table was served last, we did have to wait a while for everything. I'm not holding this against the restaurant--it is hard to coordinate multiple tables at once, and they did check in with us many times to refill drinks and make sure we didn't feel abandoned. Service was good overall. At this point in time, appetizers cost between $10 and $20, and meals range from low $20's to mid/high $40's. It is a bit more than I usually spend on a meal, but everyone I spoke to, whether they ordered a burger and fries, a steak salad, the salmon or the tri tip, all enjoyed their meals. If you're looking for a hearty meal that is more than fast food, and you're looking for something with bold flavors, check this place out!

    Charles Street Dinner House, Mariposa: 2026 Mar 12 (4 of 5)…read more Let me start off by saying that we were extremely pleased with the service, thanks to Dillon (who showed genuine rapport), Tomben (his honest opinions) and Amya (who brought me piping hot water in a beautiful mug and teapot). Their friendly, yet professional attitude make this eatery stand out. (5 of 5) This eatery has a vintage feel and historical charm. We felt we could really relax and take our time instead of being rushed to order, eat, then leave. The atmosphere feels rustic, exposing the past. It was a time capsule for folks who enjoyed that era. FOOD: Sauteed Mushroom Soup: The soup arrived with garlic bread. The soup had an earthy, savoury and nutty texture. The rich, velvety mushrooms were bouncy and cooked well, while the umami-packed broth felt comforting. The garlic bread that accompanied the mushroom soup had a perfect balance of textures - heavily buttered, with savoury garlic flavour. The golden-brown, crispy exterior was not overly toasted and the sticks were enhanced with a touch of herbal flavour. (5 of 5) New Zealand Rack of Lamb: This was my order - cooked medium-rare. The perfectly cooked meat was tender - unfortunately lacked seasoning, but a dash of salt brought this to a perfect 5. (5 of 5) I had a choice of potatoes or rice pilaf and made a wrong decision. The rice pilaf looked like baby food, and the fresh red pepper over-powered the entire dish. I tried a small scoop and was disappointed. Needless to say, I couldn't eat another bite of the rice. (1 of 5) My vegetables were mostly cooked well. They had a bit of crunch and texture but not raw. My dinner came with Tomato Soup. The soup tasted nutty and lemony, with a slight heat - and has a good aftertaste. It was silky and smooth, rich, and velvety. (5 of 5) Scallone: Our other order came with onion soup. My dinner partner had the privilege of tasting one of the best scallone years ago and was hoping to bring back great memories of this special dish he loved. This marriage of blending ground abalone and scallops is a savoury dish formed into patties. It is then breaded and lightly pan-fried in butter. The texture is supposed to be tender yet firm. The temperature was perfect but the patty came out almost like a regular pancake. A chunk of fresh red pepper was also thrown in, perhaps for colour, but it overpowered the dish. The pilaf rice was also a no-no. When the server came and asked how we enjoyed the dishes, I had to be blunt and said, "I didn't like the rice". Our server apologized and immediately offered to remove the rice on both plates and asked if we'd like potatoes instead. My partner opted for the baked potato. (5 of 5) The onion soup that accompanied this order was also a fail. Overall, this dinner was a 2 of 5. We were there to celebrate my birthday, so for dessert, we got Coconut Crème Brulee. Even though it wasn't cooked evenly, the light flavour of the coconut did not take over the mild flavour of the crème brulee. A lovely ending to an interesting dinner... and the crème brulee was a birthday treat, on the house. (4 of 5) Would we return? I think we would. I'd like to try other items on the menu because we feel it our privilege to have met some of the nicest staff in an eatery.

    Showed up on a Friday night, it was my birthday and I really wanted a steak and potato dinner…read more Thankfully no reservation was needed but I could see it being more necessary for more popular seasons. Cute restaurant, like a old house transformed, really only smelled like an old house in the tiny narrow bathrooms Service was absolutely fantastic, everyone we interacted with was so lovely. They all seemed to know everyone who was dining there, we were for sure the out of towners. I had a filet with side salad and baked potato. The vegetable side was well seasoned and cooked well. Basic side dish but done so well I ate them all. The thought that went into making my baked potato ready to scoop out was a small thought but I appreciated it! Even my salad was cold, crispy and crunchy. The bread on the table was delicious. My stake was yummy and loved the jus and mushrooms served with them. Hubs had the prime rib, he said it was one of the best ones he had in a long times he had the clam chowder to start and it was super tasty!!! Glad we had my birthday meal here!

    Unfortunately, we had a horrible experience at Miners'…read more I stopped in with my three hungry children after a long day of travel. The experience got off to a rough start when we waited five minutes before anyone acknowledged us or told us where to sit. Once seated, we waited an hour for our food. During that time, we learned that multiple menu items were unavailable. Given the long wait, we expected the food to be worth it, but when it finally arrived, much of it was poor quality and not edible. The most upsetting part of the evening was that our children were already tired and hungry from the long wait, and the overall atmosphere became increasingly uncomfortable. Nearby diners began making negative comments about our children, which left everyone feeling upset and unwelcome. After waiting so long and having such a poor experience, we were surprised that we were still charged for food that was largely left uneaten. I understand that restaurants can have difficult nights, staffing shortages, or unexpected issues. It was clear that the staff were going through a hard time. However, between the lack of service, long wait, unavailable menu items, disappointing food, and uncomfortable atmosphere, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences our family has had in a long time. After leaving, we ate at another restaurant in town and mentioned our experience to a local resident who said she had lived in Mariposa for more than 30 years and had repeatedly had negative experiences at Miners'. Hearing that made us feel like our experience may not have been an isolated incident. I hope management takes steps to improve both the customer experience and food quality going forward.

    I don't usually post things like this, but I feel like I need to share my experience…read more I've been a regular customer at this coffee shop for months. I used to go almost every day, I've supported them consistently, bought drinks and beans there regularly, and it was part of my daily routine during a really difficult time in my life. My usual drink isn't available on their online ordering system, so I've always called ahead to place my order. That has never been an issue before. They knew my order so well that they referred to it as "the Amy Special," and there were times my drink was prepared ahead of time for me to pick up when I arrived. Today I called to place my usual order. I was told the person on the phone was the owner, and I was told they had been discussing my drink and that it was "very unusual," and that I would need to come in to order instead. I asked for clarification because I've always ordered the same way for months. I was told again that I would need to come in, and that my drink was too complicated to order over the phone. I explained that I've been ordering this drink the same way for a long time and that I've always been able to call it in before. After I said I was going through a hard time and wasn't really up for coming in, the call ended. When I called back, the phone was hung up on multiple times before I was able to briefly speak with someone again. When I did finally speak with someone I recognized, my reaction was emotional because I was confused and hurt by what was happening, and the interaction didn't feel like the experience I had come to expect from them. What I'm upset about is not that a business can change how they operate. What I'm upset about is that there was no clear communication that a policy had changed, and no explanation that made sense of why something that had been routine for months was suddenly not allowed. I'm sharing this because I genuinely thought I had a good relationship with this place as a customer, and today's experience didn't reflect that. This was a place I supported daily for a long time, and it became part of my routine during a period of my life when it genuinely mattered more than people probably realize. That's why today's experience felt so disappointing and hard to process.
