    Wow after a long day in the park. We are so glad to have a nice warm meal. Grant grove restaurant is located in the grant grove village. Surprisingly there is also a US post office in this village. We ordered pork chop and a salad. We shared these dishes and it was plenty for both of us. Our server is friendly and polite. Nice bigger dining room. Prices are really reasonable.

    Chili soup and grilled cheese
    Natalie D.

    Stopped by on our last visit to kings canyon. It was very clean and had a friendly staff. We had the chili and grilled cheese and the strawberry salad. It was the best strawberry salad I had in a while, I honestly wasn't expecting much. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

    "Iced specialty coffee" and "black iced coffee" after we poured some out and tried to mix it. Drinkable now lol

    Unfortunately had the worst coffee I've tried in a while here. Ordered a brown sugar specialty iced coffee which took so long to make. Someone handed it to us and immediately disappeared back into the kitchen immediately. It tasted like I ordered an iced latte 2 hrs ago and it all melted. I think they just poured boiling coffee over ice and added the syrup. After waiting for 15 min we finally found a staff member and asked for a remake. They were really nice and did remake it but it was somehow worse. So we just asked for a cup of black coffee to mix it with and that was a slight improvement. Really nice staff (when you can find them) but do yourself a favor and make coffee over the campfire (we forgot our instant coffee at home, will not be making that mistake again lol) Pictured: "Iced specialty coffee" and "black iced coffee" after we poured some out and tried to mix it lol

    Meat sandwich on hoagie
    Kathy N.

    I'm rating for what it is--a seasonal mountain restaurant. Might give 3 stars if in town. Orders are taken at the host desk, so you do need to know your full order before being seated. Our experience with service was better than some of the other reviewers--wait at desk wasn't too long and food came reasonably quickly. (I suspect one reviewer with a terrible experience in late May might have been there soon after the summer season started, when staff was still learning the ropes.) However, we were there at about 11:30 am on a Wednesday. The line had grown by the time we left, and I can only imagine it's slammed on weekends. They could alleviate this by adding kiosk ordering. We failed to note the name of my husband's sandwich, and oddly it's not on the menu at the restaurant's own website (only hours after we were there). It was pulled meat with green peppers, bacon, and mushrooms on a hoagie roll, and he liked it a lot. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and was less impressed--the sandwich itself was fine, but the chicken was overcooked and dry. Pesto pasta salad and vegetarian soup as our sides were pretty good. The servers were efficient and polite, but I couldn't find one when I wanted a to go cup and the host line was busy, so I gave up. Water is self service. Inside is a little on the dark side, but with a nice mountain feel. The outside deck (partly in sun) is nice, but the back deck is shaded and great. We had a beautiful view of a meadow, a lovely breeze, and there aren't too many tables out there. There aren't a lot of options in this part of the park, so this is a nice one to have, along with the store, gift shop, and visitor center. If in the area and you don't want to come here, the short drive up to Hume Lake provides more options, especially during the summer when the Christian camps are running and they're fully staffed with everything open. Their amenities (several food options, grocery store, Hume-branded apparel store, gift shop) are open to the public.

    Cesar salad with chicken

    Don't expect gourmet food, but it is ok. The main issue is their ordering system. All done via self serve kiosks and there is no one at the front desk to help. I got no receipt and literally had to open the door to the kitchen to verify that they had received my order. I am ok with kiosks, but the elderly people behind us were not. Definitely not user friendly.

    Depending on the time you eat; 1130 before the lunch rush, on Mondays, The Grant Burger was awesome. 30 minutes later on Wednesday, It was crap. Burger was over cooked with no pickles, one piece of lettus and a tiny bit of onion. So, be careful when you dine.

    Hiker's Breakfast

    My wife and I came and ate food here 3 times during our trip to Kings Canyon National Park. We overall had a great experience and it proved to be convenient and affordable compared to some of the other restaurants we went to outside of the parks. Grant Grove has a nice space, a cabin-lodge feel with plenty of seating inside and outside. In our first visit (which I would have given 3 stars) I ordered a chicken salad wrap--unfortunately the wrap was 70% lettuce with only what felt like a spoonful of chicken salad--I was pretty disappointed (feel free to look at the pics attached for reference). Came with a bag of chips on the side. In our 2nd visit we came in the early morning, around 7:15 AM for breakfast. (5 stars) I ordered the "Hikers Breakfast"--scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon and a couple of pancakes. I was super impressed, the breakfast was hearty and got us super full, ready for a long day of hiking. The hash browns were crisp and the pancakes were nice and fluffy. Was a great start to our day!! I had an iced coffee with vanilla syrup to down it all (also so good). In our last visit to Grant Grove I ate the Caprese Panini with a side of fruit (5 stars). The pesto was delicious and the sandwich's warmth and the melted mozzarella made me want more. Fruit was.....just fruit! Decided to go a "healthier route," and it was overall a good meal. Definitely recommend dropping by if you want something convenient and still good!

    This is a solid four stars, prob closer to 4.5. The only issue was the confusing ordering setup... there are kiosks but there's also a lady at what appears to be a hostess station. We placed our order w/ her but the machine was down so luckily we had cash. The restaurant is large and there's an outdoor deck that overlooks the forest. Even though it was barely 40 degrees, we opted to eat outside because why not!? It's gorgeous. Hubs had a Cuban panini. I had a caprese panini. They came w/ kettle cooked chips. They were hot, they were full of flavor and really hit the spot after a long morning hike.

    Honest Review The…read morefood was honestly pretty mid. The pasta tasted mid and was a little disgusting, and it didn't really have much flavor. The burger was okay but definitely overcooked and not very juicy. It was missing some flavor. The garlic fries were probably the best thing we ordered. The hibiscus lemonade was decent, and the mocktail we got was actually really good. As for the service, some of the staff were really nice and welcoming, but I did feel a little uncomfortable toward the end. When I asked if I could pay with cash instead of card, I got the impression that the person seating us assumed I was going to leave a tip and seemed disappointed when I clarified that I was just paying cash. I also felt like some of the servers were giving us an attitude afterward because we didn't tip. Overall, tipping is a personal choice, and I don't think customers should feel judged or pressured because of it. Some of the staff were genuinely kind, but unfortunately the food and the experience weren't enough for me to want to come back.

    Everything on this menu is top tier! You can tell they use high quality ingredients! The food…read moretastes amazing! The appetizers are just as good as the entrees! There's always a wait outside of the restaurant, but I'm telling you it's so worth it! It's clean and modern inside with plenty of seating available! Such a gem in Fresno and I always come back when I'm in the area!
