If you are traveling through town this eatery is sure to satisfy hungry and thirsty travelers. They have a large menu with something for everyone. A great bar with many large screen televisions. 2 pools tables are also a great local draw. We ordered the French dip - the roll was soft, the sliced beef tender and lean and the au jus very flavorful. It was too much to eat as it comes with many tasty french fries. The grilled chicken salad was large with tender and juicy grilled chicken. The house salad with honey mustard went well with the most perfect piece of cheesecake. Locals love this place and I hope you do too.

We kind of hoped the bread would be sliced thinner and toasted like at other places we've tried but it was still okay. Can get busy in the afternoon so recommending coming before dinner rush.

So we ordered a burger, grilled cheese, beef empanada, and their chicken sandwich. Burger, fries, grilled cheese, and chicken sandwich were good, but the beef empanada was not. The beef empanada was a dry ground beef empanada with no cheese filling (it says it contains mozzarella) and was only made edible by the chimichurri it comes with. I tried to order a Michelada and the waitress looked offended which is wild considering this is a brewery. Food 8/10 Service 8/10

I think I'd personally prefer an actually patty so I can get medium instead of smashed which is more medium-well or well done. The smash fries were also good.

Odd thing to stand out, but the Coke here was so good. It's rare to get a really good Coke now and days, but this was perfect. Server was good and friendly. The space is very bar like and a little dark for my liking, but hey that's me. Still will come by after every trip here:) thank you for the fresh ingredients and friendliness.

A little over priced, imo, since you have no server and have to grab menus, table, water, etc yourself. Order at the register, they'll bring it to you. Lots of rotating options on tap! Tried a canned wine that wasn't to my fruition palate, but they have hard Seltzer and spurs that are absolutely delicious! Like a grown up Capri sun, so refreshing. Our favorite menu options are the pretzel and the Caesar salad. I also tried the shrimp tacos, and they were good, but fairly small portion of ingredients and shrimp for the price. I haven't tried any sandwiches yet, but those look promising. Sandwiches and tacos come with chips, or you can upgrade to fries or salad. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. I've only eaten inside, but there seems to be a beer garden behind the brewery.

We stopped at Around The Horn Brewing Company in Groveland on our way home from Yosemite last week…read more While I'm not a huge fan of beer, I do like checking out breweries! I like the vibes and they usually have pretty decent food. I was really excited to see that they had Beer Slushies and Non-Alcoholic Slushies on their menu. They also came in different sizes - I got a 5 oz glass of each. I loved the Beer Slushie - I even ordered another one because they were that good. My daughter also really liked the Non-Alcoholic version which was Vanilla Ice Cream and Red Starburst Slushie. For food, we ordered the Cubano Sandwich and Loaded Baked Potato with added Jalapenos. The food was okay - it was flavorful and cooked well, but there was nothing overly special about it. Our friends ordered Nachos and Fish Tacos as well which I think they enjoyed. Overall, I can't really comment on staff other than the guy at the counter that takes your order who was nice. I saw that they do events on Tuesdays like trivia and they also were advertising a fundraiser that was coming up - I like when businesses support their local community! I would definitely come back for a Beer Slushie...or three! Check them out!

And a lamb meatball pita with chips. Tasty! Beer was all good. No flights which I prefer, but good selection.

They have limited hours so make sure you plan for it, and they also host events throughout the week which means live music isn't always available. The ordering process is straightforward - you place your order at the front inside and then pick it up with a buzzer outside, which works perfectly for enjoying the outdoor setting. 5/5 Tomato Soup with Half Grilled Cheese was so hearty and exactly what you need after a long drive or before heading into the mountains. The soup was the best I have had in a while, with rich tomato flavor that was perfectly seasoned and had just the right consistency. The grilled cheese was nothing too special on its own, but it paired so well with the soup, especially to warm you up in the cold. The combination is classic comfort food executed beautifully, and you really can't go wrong with this order. The Grove House is absolutely worth planning your Yosemite trip around! It's the perfect stop to fuel up before heading into the park or to unwind after a day of hiking. The combination of good food, welcoming atmosphere, and that small-town charm makes it a must-visit when you're in Mariposa. I would definitely recommend trying this place out - it seems like one of the best restaurants in the area on the way to Yosemite. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and hoping to catch one of their live music nights!
