Very pricey for the quality. The biscuits and gravy were very salty. Also ordered hot cocoa which was $6 and was most definitely a packet of cocoa mix with hot water. read more

Breakfast was the worse. I ordered the Breakfast Combo which comes with eggs, sausage, bacon and potatoes. Literally everything was overcooked. I also ordered a house coffee which was watered down so I asked for another drink. I was then given a caramel macchiato latte w/ oat milk which was delicious. I would not recommend this place as the food took over 30 minutes and was not worth the wait. They had a cashier that doesn't really have customer service skills. My family members ordered the burger which they liked. read more

Husband likes his fries. so generous he couldn't finish them. The kids running the place checked on the dining side regularly to see if anything was needed. very attentive. hope to come this way again. read more

This place was convenient and a much needed restaurant in an area that can use more food places. Maybe it was just a confluence of bad timing or whatever, but I ordered French toast and it wasn't that great, plus the coffee was weak. On a positive note, it seems like a great place when the planets align. Like I said, I must have hit them at a bad time. read more

The food was garbage.The cook got the order wrong sent it back.Still wrong.All we heard was the lady in the back gossiping instead of paying attention to her work $46 wasted.Left hungry.Terrible place read more

Came in for breakfast and was told the wait would be 30 minutes for food. All the tables were empty. After the three people ahead of us ordered, the wait jumped to 45 minutes! I get that it's a small kitchen and maybe they're understaffed. However, the way the woman behind the counter spoke to us was so rude and like they couldn't care less about our business...so we left! read more

This place is in the right location and it has potential. We've been here a few times. They are always understaffed. Food is hit or miss, I have observed the cashier ring people up then go to cook it. Today they seemed to be a mess so I decided to just get 2 large lattes to go. When I picked it up it felt empty. I paid $14 for 2 lattes and half of the cup was foam. This seems to be a trend these days as I had this happen at 2 other places recently. I guess it's time to order no foam on my latte to avoid this. read more

The burgers are good, nothing against it. But service here is the worst thing! we noticed that the staff are only welcoming to locals or white people. So we came inside stood in front of the counter for a minute or two waiting someone to assist as or ask what do we need and the staff are not even looking at us. Then the other group came in, probably locals, white people, the staff welcomed them enthusiastically and assisted them to take a seat and grabbed a menu. That't the only time we looked at the menu when they showed them where the menu was. So we picked what we want and asked the front guy we're ready and told us there's a self service kiosk to place our order. So we did that and selected Dine in and paid for the order. And oh FYI, tips here are mandatory, no option for custom tip or no tip. Lowest tip is 17%. Then looked for our own table and wait for the order, then the group after us went back to the counter and this lady willingly assisted them and took their order instead of directing them to self service kiosk we were, "okay that's fine". Then once our order was up, it was all packed up for to go even if we selected Dine-in on the kiosk. Then the rude lade said "Here's your order. This is how you order your food so get it from here!" Then the group after us, they served the food on their table as if she's like their personal butler. Very bad service! They made us feel that we're absolutely not welcome to stay there! If you see this diner, just drive along. Nothing special here! read more

Convenient yes, if you're starving but the food is greasy and tasteless. The harsh brown is too hard and inedible. I didn't know the area and I was hungry. I should have looked at the reviews before eating here. Definitely a waste of money as I couldn't finish my breakfast. read more

Hungry Bear Cafe - I could only eat the veggies. Every else is bland and so greasy. I don't know what type of oil they use but it's seriously not healthy! - Cafes Near Me - Groveland, California

So I only did take-out so noted issues with service are not going to apply. I was desperate for something for lunch and had no time to do anything so this place was open and that was 100% of what I needed. The menu was pretty great, tons of items and while the eggs sounded good they were not for a take out situation. I got a chicken wrap and it was really great. I paid to sub in a salad to skip the carbs of the frys and when the lady handed me the bag she asked if I wanted ketchup for my fries. I reminded her i paid for a salad and she apologized and asked if she wanted me to throw the the frys away...errr well geez no. Well I don't eat frys often as I mostly do low-carb and they are my enemy, but they were GREAT. When you do indulge for sure you want it to count and these did. I like this place alot, will be back for sure and cannot wait to sit down and try one of the unique scrambles. read more

Breakfast today was a bad experience. Our two orders for egg dishes took 35 minutes to prepare, with just one other person dining. The espresso machine was broken, so lukewarm weak coffee served in paper cups was available from a thermos. The orders arrived and not a single slice of toast accompanied the $15 omelettes. To top it off, we both had digestion issues a couple of hours afterwards. read more

Coming out of Yosemite from a backpacking trip and we stopped here after not being able to find food in the park. Its a great convenient spot and the food is pretty tasty! My mom and I both had a bacon cheeseburger, which was very tasty and really hit the spot. The produce was very fresh, the burger was flavorful, and the bacon was nice and crisp. The only complaint is that it was a bit over cooked, but it was still good eating. The fries were spectacular and perfectly crispy. The restaurant was clean and the decor is cute. Please be patient with the hardworking staff, they're doing a good job! read more

If I could I would give zero stars. Not worth the money at all! Let me tell you why. The customer service was very poor and tasteless much like their food. The food was terrible. The fries came out over cooked. The pesto sandwich was disappointing to say the least. It was simply a whole chicken breast with some canned tomatoes on a piece of bread. The only thing big about these Texas Cheese fries was the copious amount of unmelted shredded cheese straight out of the back. The mozzarella sticks were rock hard you could knock someone out with them. "Best burger is town" LIE!!! The burger was burnt, flavorless and a rock would have tasted better. The cashier was extremely rude to the people next to us and told them to leave because they were backed up for 30-45 minutes, when no one was even in the restaurant. Overall very disappointing not worth the money or the time. *pictured, disappointing Texas cheese fries* read more

Food is mediocre, at best - bust something we expected. Service is atrocious? Demeaning? Ridiculous? We came in 20 minutes before 11am, girl as front said breakfast ending soon at 11. Suddenly cook announced no more breakfast orders since they are out of potatoes. We asked, politely, whether we can get eggs made without potatoes and ended up being yelled at by the cook, some old guy who does I don't know what there - and basically told off that the cook is the boss and everyone is afraid of her and we should not antagonize her and we must leave. So, we left. The poor girl at the front didn't even want to ask our question because in her words "don't want to get yelled at again". Do yourself a favor - avoid at all costs. Take a 5 minute drive down to Priest Station Cafe a bit down the road and be happier that you avoided this hole. read more

Now I see why this place is rated sooooo low. Service and food where terrible. Nachos where hard as a rock, "chicken strips" where barley cooked and the salad was waaaay over priced. For those three items we waited for about 30 min. The people after use ordered 4 hamburgers and they got their food before us. read more

My parents favorite place to meet up. We met up halfway and all enjoyed a tasty meal.

Stay away from this place. Never been treated so rudely before. I asked for toast with my breakfast and she said they don't make toast. You can have a biscuit or nothing. I told them I don't like rudeness in a person and left. Up the road less than 10 minutes is Preist Station Cafe. The are extremely friendly and have great breakfast! read more

Limited choices, a couple salads but not really any healthier or lighter options, not very clean or well kept. Kind of disappointing considering this is a tourist area and theres not a ton of other stuff around. Chicken bacon wrap was ok, a lot of excess wrap and not enough filling. Onion rings were burnt and overdone. read more

Unnecessary rude and unhelpful. I try to give everyone the benefit of a doubt but we felt unwelcome the minute we walked in. After being brusquely treated by the server we decided to go elsewhere for our lunch. Will not be returning nor recommending. read more

This little place is in Groveland, CA on the way to Yosemite National Park. It's a order at the counter, get a number and seat yourself at about 10 tables of your choice. They bring the food out to you when it's done. We annually visit Yosemite Lakes RV Resort and always love to stop by and grab a burger here. I love the classic which I believe is a 1/4 lb patty. Can't say it's "homemade", but definitely made hot and fresh for you. Comes standard with sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles and lettuce and a order of fries. Keep this in mind as I also ordered garlic fries. All of the condiments, utensils and napkins are already in the tables for you. A "no frills" kind of place but you can get a latte, breakfast, lunch or dinner here. Lots of choices. Cute bear decor on the walls reflecting the area you're in. Love it and worth a stop for us whenever we're in the area. read more

Me and my friends came here last Thursday from a long drive coming from the Bay Area. Stopped by this restaurant location after doing some groceries at Mar-Val it was at the same parking lot and convenient for us to go have dinner. Upon arriving cashier asked us to take a menu and have a seat anywhere available at the back and return when we are ready to order. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich with upgraded onion rings that comes with a salad. We sat back down at our table and waited for our food to be done. As we were waiting the cashier told us we can't dine in it has to be take out or we can eat outside. We were confused by this because we wished there was a notice or a block at the back table with a note saying, "No dine in". We were hoping to relax and enjoy our dinner not take it to our air bnb. Owner definitely needs to have a stand with a note stating. No dine in. We could've gone somewhere else where we can sit and enjoy our food elsewhere if so. Food was ok. My salad came out so plain and boring. No dressing. Just lettuce, few slices of tomatoes, and grated and very thin small cheese. Pesto sandwich was mediocre and onion rings was plain tasting. I read reviews about the service and I can relate to what others were saying. Service was very much dry and not very much welcoming. I'd go somewhere else in the area for restaurants when I do come back to this town again. read more

The wait for the food was over an hour and no waiters available. Ended leaving because we waited for over 30 minutes to be told it's still another hour for the food read more

Spent $154 on lunch for 7, hard to ruin grilled cheese but nothing about it was grilled, melted butter on bread with 1 piece of processed America cheese; first time ever one slice of the bread was the heal. Best part of the meal was the onion rings and French fries. All the other entries pretty much the same. Maybe lunch is not their thing. The man who took the order was surely and acted like he preferred we were not there, not a happy camper for sure. read more

Visiting Yosemite in the off season calls for hotels and diners and this place hit it out of the park. The staff was hella sweet and offered all the things. I got the philly cheese steak omelette and it was a home run. A buddy got some pancakes and those were light and delicious!! For covid they require masks unless you're eating, but also provide hand sanitizer at the entrance and at the counter. The thing that took it from 4 to 5 stars for me was the tapatío being the hot sauce on the table, solid decision. Many thanks, y'all. read more

The food taste like they took it out of the freezer section at the grocery store and warmed it up for half the time directed. Under cooked and poor quality. The do not have enough staff so wait times are high if crowded. Way overpriced for what you get. We want to support small businesses but this place was just awful. read more

Wouldn't allow us in with a service dog. Said he didn't care. Food is probably as bad as the hospitality.

The food was amazing, the restaurant was clean and well organized, and the service was quick.
