Awesome burgers and WONDERFUL pie‼ Not only is the food very good , but the location is amazing‼

Save yourself from a long drive, poor experience and disgusting food! My one-star rating is generous but only because there isn't an option for negative stars. Traveled here with family after visiting Yosemite. We were hopeful that the food would be as good after the long very windy road (40 minutes for approximately 18 miles off the main road). Sadly we were horribly disappointed! The first couple of our group walked in and read the menu noting they had tri-tip. A male employee jumped in and very rudely grumbled "No we don't! That's the Saturday menu. Today's Friday!" So we asked, "ok what's on the menu today?" We were told "burgers; with cheese or without". When we noted the price ($18) we asked if anything came with it and were told chips. We all ordered burgers. The lady working asked if we wanted anything to drink. When we asked what kind of soda they had, she said (again very rudely), "See that fridge behind you, whatever's in that is what we've got!" She then asked if we wanted pie and so we asked "what kind of pie?". She again gruffly responded "Pie or no pie, and you can't take any to go! We don't even know what the pie is but it's good". We ordered two pieces and were told "Find a seat, we'll get you your burgers and then you can get your pie later!" If we didn't have over a two hour drive home we would have just left at that point, but we stayed. It was a beautiful day so we decided to eat outside. We headed outside to find several of your standard plastic folding tables. Unfortunately, it looked as if they had been used for butchering something and hadn't been wiped down...ever! Our burgers came and were horrible! Greasy, fatty patties, pink and broken in half then thrown on some type of French style bread. Out of four burgers, one-half of one was eaten. As we were trying to eat, the man came out and said, "We're closing! Come get your pie!" What we were served wasn't pie. It seemed to be leftovers of crumbles of pie served in a bowl with ice cream and whipped cream. No wonder they couldn't tell us what it was. It tasted as horrible as it looked - I think some might call it slop! The crust was soggy and it really had no flavor to it. Each of us took a bite to try it and threw it out! The best part of our meal was the standard bag of lays potato chips - the only part that was finished. The price for 4 burgers, 4 drinks and two pies was $100. The bathrooms were straight out of a horror movie, filthy and limited lighting. No soap and cold water. The only positive was the beautiful scenery. Don't waste your time or your money! read more

Jones Store - Camping - Burgers Near Me - Bass Lake, California

Love the food, service and the scenery. It is beautiful. They are also known for their pies.

I love taking my daughter to Jones Store. She's the fourth generation in our family to step through those doors. Jones Store, born in the early 1900s to serve cowboys on their high Sierra trails, stands proudly off the grid. No electricity, no phone, no cell service. Propane powers the grills and cools the food. It's where the bikers, hikers, and locals head when the mountain snow melts. Every time I go, I order the hamburger. It's a one-of-a-kind affair, served on a long roll instead of a round bun. Oversized, it's built to satisfy folks who've been on the trail for a good long while. My daughter's favorite part? The dogs--Linda, Bodie, and Tucker. Before you go, remember to bring cash. The store isn't open every day. Check the store hours posted at the bottom of Beasore Road at Bass Lake before you head up the mountain. read more

Best burger and hotdog ever!!!! Great country service and you couldn't ask for a better place to enjoy your meal... amazing outdoors.

While I was planning a group backpacking trip, my buddy N sent me a link for Jones Store, saying: "We NEED to go here!" As it turned out, it was on the way to our trailhead - along the long, convoluted Beasore Rd - and miles from the nearest town. They were open; so we stopped. Plus they had homemade pie(!!) I'll always stop for that. As mentioned by the owners (and the plaque out front) the store was first established in the 1930s as a supplier for cattlemen who were grazing their herds in nearby, upland meadows. It's been a family affair ever since, with the current owners being the third generation here. But times have changed - Gone are the store wares. Gasoline is no longer sold here either (though they still have an old gravity-feed tank out front). It's now just a stop for food and drink. Receipts are filled out in pencil & paper, and they accept CASH ONLY. So be prepared for a bit of time travel. Did I mention pie? As stated on a sign, they have two kinds: pie or no pie. And since the latest pie from the oven is always changing, and they don't keep track, they won't tell you what kind you'll get. I can say it's an enormous slice (1/8 pie?), it comes a-la-mode, and it is topped with whipped cream. I picked mine up right away and it was apple. (with great crust, as is required). One friend grabbed hers 15 minutes later, and it was peach-blueberry. (I admit I was a little bitter). They also offer burgers, dogs, chips and drinks, including beers. Being on vacation, I decided to have a beer with my pie; and I was instructed to grab one from the fridge - PBR, But Light, or Coors. Ok then. Once purchases were completed, we ambled outside, grabbed a plastic table, and enjoyed our sustenance amongst beautiful mountain scenery. A few people in our group ordered burgers and claimed they were excellent. The only negatives for me were: -- Prices were scandalous. One hot dog, two slices of pie, and a can of PBR was $45. I assume it's from supplying this remote location. -- The bathrooms in back were dark, rickety, and kinda scary. They offered showers for extra $ but I wouldn't step foot in the ones that I saw. Ew. Nevertheless, our visit to Jones Store was a great start to a long, off-the-grid weekend trip; I would definitely go again, as long as I had some cash with me. read more

Jones Store - a line of antique cars parked along the side of the road - Burgers Near Me - Bass Lake, California

Will not be returning here. Staff was rude, snapping that although they listed tri-tip on their menu, it was too expensive for them to buy. Burgers are fatty and buried in bread. The mystery pie was smothered in ice cream and a huge pile of whip cream, neither of which were requested or wanted. There were only 2 other couples there, but the food was delivered by a snarling male shouting out our name. Very overpriced for subpar food. Avoid the restrooms if you can. They are a mess and downright scarey. read more

I love the food there and the people/service, and the location - so pretty! But the star of the visit is the home made pie! Just have to go there early enough because they only have two types of pie - "a pie and no pie" :-D. read more

Took a MC ride with a couple of buddies. This was my first time at this place. Upon a coworkers recommendation, we all ordered cheeseburgers! No sooner then walking in the door, they belted out "should I put three cheeseburgers on"...we said of course. Grabbed a soda and table out back. Burgers and chips were at the table within 10-15 mins! Well! Even if it took 30 mins, it would have been worth the wait! The bread was phenomenal, the was patty seasoned well and the grilled peppers and onions complimented the burger! Next visit I will try the pie! This is a must see/eat location! Don't forget your cash! No credit or debit or checks read more

Drove through a very winding road to find out they closed an hour earlier. They still opened the door so we can see the inside of the store. Ended up almost one hour talking to the people there. So nice to accommodate us. They are known for their pies. Only make apparently about five pies and they don't tell you what kind it is. Lol. Comes with ice cream and whip cream with generous slice of pie. We totally missed it. read more

Best tri tip cheese burger around.. DELICIOUS!! AND THE PIE ALA MODE IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!! Awesome place nice and cool AREA AT 7000FT and really cool hysterical place. Highly recommend !!!!! CASH ONLY !!!!! read more

Note that I haven't stayed in the cabins before, but I didn't see any information about the cabins online. I just spoke to the owner on the phone. During the summer, they rent the cabins for $500 per month. They will rent to you for one night for $400. Too pricey for me. Anyway, I look forward to stopping by for one of their fabled burgers and pie. read more

A family friend from Coursegold took us to this great burger joint off the beaten path. The burger was cooked perfectly, with a slice of tri tip. So delicious. It's a simple no frills place with outdoor seating. You help yourself to a drink and head out to the meadow where you'll find outdoor chairs and tables. You couldn't beat the location. Owner was friendly and even hung out with us. This is a must, but I warn you once you stop, you won't want to leave. The oversized burger on a french roll was delicious and the scenery breathtaking. Please stop and tell them Mary sent you. The owner never heard of yelp.lol read more

This is a Cash only trip into the past. I felt like I was in 1949. It's takeout only, eat on their deck or in the beautiful meadow. Call to see if they're open before driving up, if they are, get there early if you want some if their incredible, scratch made Berry Pie! OMG it is great! The Smoked Tri-Tip sandwich and their burgers are also great! read more

A thousand times yes, to the burgers and pie. This is the most delicious burger you will encounter in a very longtime. Don't deny yourself this experience. Take the side trip from Bass Lake or Yosemite and wind your way up the mountain to take in the experience of Jones Store. read more

This is an out of the way gem that is worth going to for a nice drive and meal. I had a hamburger with chips that was very tasty and big enough to split. After watching the rain and listening to the thunder I had their famous berry pie à la mode. Take cash as they do not take credit due to there is no electricity or phone service up there. Limited menu but so worth the drive read more
