Curry Village has limited dining options. Meadow Grill is one of them and seems like the fastest line. I came on one of the last Saturdays of summer so it was BUSY! Most of the other lines had a 45+ minute wait but I waited 10 to order and another 10 minutes to get my food. I had the burrito bowl with chicken which was filling and just what I needed after a long day in the park. The quality of food wasn't anything special but it was a fair portion and got the job done. Seating is a bit limited but you can walk around the corner or to the food hall for more seating options. The bees and the squirrels are a PAIN though. The squirrels have no chill and will hop right next to you for some nibbles. read more

Meadow Grill - Chicken Burrito Bowl - Burgers Near Me - Yosemite National Park, California

I ordered the chicken burrito and it was anemically small with very little filling. The hours are limited from 11am to 5pm. It was good to pack on a hike though; however, not really worth going out of your way to try. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Ordered a super chicken burrito with no rice no cheese and a super carne asada burrito. $14.08 ea Nothing special. Just a burrito Bad portion of ingredients and the tortilla was thick which i did not like. Id rather taste quality ingredients. This is located inside curry village at yosemite valley. If you're hungry go for it otherwise you're better off getting a ready made sandwich inside the little gift shop next door or a simple slice of pizza at the deck. read more

Meadow grill is a Mexican food place located in Curry Village. Their hours are from 11-8pm. They do not allow modifications to food. Food is average but it is one of the better options for food. Best item in my opinion are the super nachos. Rice tends to be bland. They also run out of meat options depending on time/season read more

Give a customer what they want the way they want it. I requested to pay extra for cheese and sour on my food. They said no. We can't do that. Then I ordered a burrito that would have cheese in it. I asked can you put my cheese and sour cream on the side instead of in it. They said no. We can't do anything on the side only in it. So my 11$ small tacos with just tortillas and meat ended up costing me 18$ because I had to buy cheese next door at a little store for my tacos. I then asked for cilantro for my tacos. again was told they couldn't do that. I asked why because my tacos come with it. I was given it but in rude way. They were not shy about letting me know they didn't want to. I do not agree with their business model. NOTHING ON THE SIDE. To make it even worse the tacos were cold and greasy. I was so irritated I didn't even eat my burrito. What a waste of 35 $. Never again would I waste my money here. read more

Nice little grill area perfect for lunch after a hard hike, which is exactly what I came here for. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 7/10 Average looking grill area with patio seating that is equipped with umbrellas. The seating area is medium sized and probably can seat 40-50 people. The views from here are scenic, as are any views from within Yosemite. SERVICE: 8/10 Staff was kind and courteous. The orders came out on the slower side, but otherwise no issues. FOOD: 9/10 Chicken Sandwich - 9/10 - I'm sure there is the bias of being hungry and tired after having gone on a big hike, but this was a juicy, delectable chicken sandwich with a nice, perfectly crispy coating. This really hits the spot after a tough hike. Root Beer Float - 10/10 - Man oh man, I came here wanting a milkshake but they didn't have any. No ice cream either. All they had that was close to that was a root beer float. I haven't had one since I was maybe 10 years old. Okay, whatever, I'm hungry, tired and thirsty. This though, was amazing. Simply AMAZING! VALUE: 8/10 It's a little bit on the pricy side, but still reasonable compared to a lot of other things available in the park. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10 A good spot to hit up if you're in Yosemite at some point. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: A resounding recommendation from me. Especially the root beer float. OVERALL: 8/10 read more

Do not go here unless you want food poisoning. The staff was a bunch of kids who were absolutely terrible. Along with squirrels everywhere and they will crawl on you to get your food they have no fear. Terrible. Simply terrible. read more

It's surpassingly hard to find vegan food (that isn't a bare salad) in Yosemite. You would think with the number visitors and the demographic, it would be better. Alas, I'll start by saying this place does not label vegan items, just vegetarian, and that the labeling seems to be blatantly incorrect. None of the salads, nor the black bean burger, are marked vegetarian, though I'm told by staff (and according to menu ingredients) they are. Additionally, there are items marked as being "may have been made without gluten ingredients", like the black bean burger and the hotdogs, but I'm sure the buns they come with do contain gluten. That made me a hesitant about being able to make any modifications to make something vegan. When I asked if one of the salads was vegan, the cashier grabbed her manager who ended up being very helpful. I worked with her to remove animal products from one of the rice bowls and add a black bean patty on it. It ended up being surprisingly decent given how customized it was. Pros: Nice manager who was help to make some nice accommodations Cons: Menu is blatantly labeled incorrect for food allergies which is very serious read more

Meadow Grill - Customized vegan rice bowl - Burgers Near Me - Yosemite National Park, California

The food was just okay but for a National park camp ground restaurant, i would say the prices are reasonable. The food was just REALLY REALLY OKAY. If you want the must bang for the buck, then go get a breakfast burrito, it was actually really filling and keep me going for a whole day of hiking. read more

Meadow Grill - Breakfast - Burgers Near Me - Yosemite National Park, California

They have interesting choices and are pretty good! It's also open until 8 pm ,which helps! We got the chicken pot pie and the cheese burger with fries and a side bowl of chilli. I loved the chicken pot pie and got quite full after eating all of it. The burger was an average burger. Nothing out of the world. The fries were great. As was the bowl of chilli, which came with a top of jalepenos, which I loved. Would recommend this place over the Village restaurants for sure! read more

Great food and great service. The carnitas are my absolute favorite as well as the asada fries. Don't sleep on the elote

Do not get any of their Asian food that's on their menu. Get cheeseburgers. The fries comes pre-made and it's cold when served. My family and I don't normally eat here. We eat at the pizza place and have a few drinks at the bar next door. The cheeseburger is edible at best. Right now this is the only restaurant that is open. The bar and the pizza place are under renovation. There is a taco truck (but we did not try the food). read more

Service was great and friendly. We got free refills on drinks which was a plus. The burger and fries were great and classic meals. I'd opt out of the Asian dishes if I were you. Their pickled carrots and daikon was off a bit which ruined the rest of the dish. The meat in the pork lemongrass was also very dry and I actually didn't finish the dish. Same for bahnmi. I don't know what I was expecting with Asian food in the middle of Yosemite but I was definitely not expecting what we had. read more

Their food was super delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly and amazing customer service. Their tacos were amazing.

Pleasantly surprised by the food here. Wasn't expecting much being in such a remote area. Ordered the BBQ bacon burger which tasted quite nice. Double patties with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and "burger sauce". Tasted like a Wendy's baconator which is pretty solid after hiking the trails of Yosemite. Chicken fingers were subpar. The order came with three small sized pieces of fried chicken. Got both the bacon ranch fries and garlic Parmesan fries. Enjoyed both of them. If you're staying in Half Dome Village or if you just want to take a breather with a burger in Yosemite Valley, this is the place to be. Don't expect to have wifi or data connection though. read more

For being in the park and hungry it was good to find a place with fresh grilled burgers and fries. What else can you say it is a national park and food is not always the best but it was good. read more

Not a bad burger stand! I am surprised at the variety this little place has for you. It's all outdoors, patio seating. You stand in line and order at a window.You are given a number, which can be found on your receipt. They have an intercom system to call out order numbers so you can hear it over the crowd. I got the cheeseburger and garlic parmesan fries. The cheeseburger was surprisingly pretty decent. The meat wasn't overcooked and came with lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles, cheese, and burger sauce (Thousand Island dressing). The garlic parmesan fries weren't bad either, that is if you absolutely love garlic as much as I do. There was so much garlic your eyes watered. The service was pretty fast from order to pick up. The workers know the volume of people they get there and make sure that the food gets out quickly. I would definitely return here for a burger on my next vacation to Yosemite Valley. read more

The food here's expensive AND the portions REALLY SMALL! My boyfriend and I ordered pad Thai rice bowl and the banh mi and the rice bowl wasn't even a rice bowl. It's like one of the small paper trays that are used at carnivals or something and it was like $14.50! Not only that but the service wasn't that great! People inside the kitchen were just standing around talking and our food took like 20 minutes to come out. The only decent thing there was their breakfast burrito. It was pretty big and for a fair price but everything else was TINY. The salad costs like $10 and it's in a small container, DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT! read more

I can't eat here and not feel complete in life. Just the experience of walking into Curry Village and staring up at the giant granite looming over you is enough to put you in a new state of mind -- combine that with the end of a long day of hiking and the late afternoon summer sun and sitting out on a deck with others coming and going, hanging out, enjoying life and you've got a recipe for success. This applies to most of Curry Village's establishments. But what put this place over the top for me was unwrapping the cheeseburger and having it actually be good. And then unwrapping a second (because they are half the price of every other snobby burger in the world, you shall order two) and having it be just as awesome. Sometimes the feeling and aura of a restaurant has some significant affect on your experience. In the middle of Yosemite Valley this feeling is outsized. The reality is that this review is pointless, it's a burger stand in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, your attention is elsewhere -- but my love goes out to these guys for making things just a little bit better (somehow). read more

Located in Curry Village, Meadow Grill has burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs and salads. Their Cheeseburger, Grass-fed Beef hamburger, Fusion hot dog ("Asian cole slaw and sriracha mayonnaise") and Chicken Pesto Panini sandwich were all very tasty. Their Classic Caesar salad was unimpressive - a tiny to-go container with romaine, cheap croutons, and generic dressing. The burgers were $6-$7.75 with a $3.50 combo option (french fries, sweet potato fries or fruit + drink). Wish they offered beer so we didn't have to walk back to the pizza place and stand in another line. I would definitely go there again. read more

Meadow Grill - Burgers Near Me - Yosemite National Park, California

I'd give this place 3 stars for food and zero stars for service if I could, but will settle for a two star compromise. Obviously the food is basic and expensive, but that's typical for national parks. I swear the young lady at the counter called me "Man" 20 times. She wanted to charge me $2.50 for ice so I just bought a soda because it was the same price. The young European guys cooking the food were yelling at each other in some argument. This argument didn't seem to affect the food or the wait times, so that's good. I waited by the window for too long for my "free drink refill" while no one would make eye contact with me. Finally someone passed me (avoiding eye contact), got himself a cup, filled it with soda and began to walk away. I figured this is the soda guy so I asked for a refill. He walked away saying "I'm not the guy that does that". Seriously?!!! Hire some new high school kids. Please read more

Not have again: the cheese burger, even with cheddar cheese, was just not very satisfying.

I'm not sure how the rights are given for certain people to open food establishments in a national park, but I am disappointed. For such a breathtaking place that is visited by people around the world, there should be food and service that deserves the natural ambiance of Yosemite. This was one of the three quick eat options at Half Dome Village in Yosemite National Park. Had I other options, I would have chosen a different spot. But since we packed light in our Yosemite excursion, we ate here. There is only outside seating, and it is limited at that. While waiting in line, we got to make our selection of two cheeseburger baskets, and a fried fish sandwich with parmesan garlic fries. The fish sandwich and garlic fries were mine. The sandwich was alright, a little dry for fish, and nothing special with the sauce and lettuce/tomato topping. The fries were depressing, almost grey in color, they were the standard fries with some parmesan cheese and garlic butter poured atop, making them limp and grease logged. The cheeseburgers were plain and dry. What is worse, is that while waiting for my order to be called, I noticed a lot of people who had already received their food returning because their orders were wrong, or food was simply missing. Nearly every customer had to return to the window. Seeing this, I made sure to check our order, and when I did I found they had forgotten two orders of our fries. For food that is so expensive the restaurant should at least make sure to deliver it all if they're not going to take the time for quality! All the time we were eating, the kids next to us were fascinated by these little ground squirrels that showed no fear for humans in their quest for food. Cute, but not cute. It got annoying. read more

When we got here, I was feeling like a hungry mama bear ready to tear into my first bite. It didn't matter what type of food just as long as it was real. Its was my first camping and hike trip up half dome. I had been living on granola bars and freeze dried food for the last five days. That's probably why the food tasted so amazingly delicious and I gave it a five star. This was my first real food in days and I was savoring every bite of my turkey burger. I dont remember anything else. But I had time take a picture before I swallowed the burger. =) read more

Typical outdoor grill. Food is pricey but what else would you expect inside of a national park? But how does a place like this manage to run out of ketchup?!! read more

After a long day of hiking around the Yosemite sights, the cheeseburger here hit the spot. It was a busy line at the counter, but our food was served up fairly promptly. Add in the nice views from the picnic tables, and it was a solid choice for a park meal. read more

The place was alright. I ordered a cheeseburger protein style because they don't have gluten free buns as mentioned on the menu, and also added a side of fries. My boyfriend ordered the deluxe grilled cheese and could barely eat it. The onions were not grilled (pretty much raw), and they cheese was barely melted. The service was good and the cashier was friendly, but I'd look elsewhere to eat and skip this place! read more

The breakfast burritos are great! And the cheeseburger & fries are OK. Good service! Probably better option in Yosemite Valley, as other places get horrible ratings. read more

I had the chicken schwarma, which was fine, but using the name schwarma was a little misleading to me. It was more like a 'chicken burger" since it was on a roll instead of a wrap with lettuce and tomato. It did have a decent schwarma type sauce, which made it "unique" from the turkey burger, but not at all what I was craving. read more

Ordered the chicken pesto panini and it was not very good. I also ordered the Caesar salad and again, not very good. A bunch of Romaine lettuce in a small plastic container, sprinkled with cheese, with a bland packet of dressing on the side didn't do much for me. My kids got the chicken strips, which they liked, but for $6 three strips on a bed of fries is expensive for what you get. It is one of the only options in the valley, though. They are open until 8:00 pm in the summer, so it was one of the few places open after 7 pm. read more

Made a day trip to Yosemite to ride bikes around the Valley. When we stopped at Half Dome Village (it's always going to be Curry Village to me), our original intent was to purchase some drinks to replenish ourselves, but since it was nearly lunch time, we decided to eat at the Grill. We ordered two bacon cheeseburgers that were shared among three of us, plus a children's hamburger menu item. The latter included vegetable strips (carrots and celery), and it was a generous helping. All of the burgers were delicious, as were the bacon ranch fries. We were quite pleased with our impromptu meal, and I'm sure we'll make it a point to stop there on our next day trip. read more

First off if you are online right now, shame on you! Go admire a rock or meadow or some other flora/fauna while you're here. But if you are in line with hundreds of other tourists and hungry, do yourself a favor and get a pizza. That is, unless a meager portion of Aramark's finest chicken tender on a dry "fake"accia bun sounds appealing. The burger wasn't much better. And yes, I am using their wi-fi to bad mouth them as I dine in dissapointment. Not getting back in that line. read more

I was very pleased with the outstanding customer service provided especially by David and the rest of the Meadow Grill employees. The menu is great and very reasonable for the quality of food. The pesto chicken burger is delicious and was perfect after a long day of hiking. I will swing by the Grill as much as I can whenever I am in Yosemite. Curry Village was a great place to stay and we had a fabulous time! Thank you Meadow Grill for excellent food! read more

Double bacon cheeseburger was delicious. Big burger that was filling and hit the spot.
