The food is good, though the coffee isn't quite as good; the place is nice and clean, and the staff is friendly.

Wow we discovered this gem of a restaurant as we were traveling home from Yosemite. It looked packed from the outside. We checked on the wait time and were told about 20 minutes. We were sat at our table within 10 minutes. I had the Mexicali breakfast. It is Grilled Carna Asada, hadhbrowns with chorizo, beans and eggs with flour tortillas. It was the BOMB. The staff is very friendly and we enjoyed quick service. I will definitely come back if I am ever in the area again. I also enjoyed my bloody Mary. read more

TLDR: Baby back Ribs, Half-rack Not sure, if it's because we were hungry, after a long drive from home. BUT, the onion rings were crispy, with a mix of big and small circles. It wasn't too bready either. It was a great onion ring. It normally comes with ranch, which i'm not fond of, but they graciously gave me some BBQ sauce as well. I liked that more... it's a generic BBQ sauce, mostly sweet and a tiny bit tangy, but still good. I am so glad I ordered "only" a half-rack, because it was still HUGE! It came in 2 sets of 4, and I only was able to finish 1 set. I shudder to think what a whole-rack would look like! Just as the menu advertised, it EASILY came off the bone. I was able to use a fork to gently pry the meat off. It wasn't completely slathered in BBQ sauce, which I appreciate. I still prefer to dunk the meat in sauce, but I was able to taste the smoky meat. It was great! My wife ordered the blackened chicken pasta. I always worry, since blackened can EASILY transition to BURNT. But in this case, it had the smoky flavor that we want, without being charred. THe pasta was a bit too creamy for my wife, so she wasnt able to finish even half of it. Oh, I also appreciate that both dishes came with garlic bread. The bread is sooo good! Crispy crust, good garlic flavor, excellent bread. The waitress was super friendly as well. All in all, a great experience! read more

Seated outside with my family, took a while to get our orders and our food. Had to ask for utensils twice, one of the servers looked annoyed when we asked. The food was ok, gave it 3 stars just because the view was nice read more

Food was amazing. Service was quick and the servers were very attentive and friendly. My dad ordered their menudo and said it was one of the few menudos he had that was good and savory. We recommend this place. A good stop before heading to Yosemite. 10/10 read more

The food amazing. I love chilaquiles and the chilaquiles at Mountain Oaks just took the top spot. It's delicious. We walked right in and were greeted and seated immediately. Drink orders taken and food orders shortly after. The place was busy but the staff were attentive to everyone and checked on us. Food came out quick, nice, hot and fresh. Husband got the chicken friend steak and eggs with a biscuit and gravy. The biscuit was so fluffy and amazing. We were visiting for the day from Madera but will certainly be back as the place was so cozy and the food and people were amazing. Highly recommend. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on our way back from Yosemite, and we're so happy we stopped by! He got the Mexicali Breakfast and I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. Both were delicious and would definitely recommend getting. I love that you can get tortillas with their Mexican style breakfasts and also add on grilled jalapeños for just 50 cents. Service was great and food came out fast. Portions were huge, tables were clean, and they also have patio seating if the weather permits. Next time we come up to the park, we're definitely eating here again. read more

Great customer service, Amazing food, ambiance was comforting.overall experience was amazing. Definitely recommend coming here.

Mountain Oaks Café is one of those spots that just feels good the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff treats you like they actually care -- super friendly, quick, and attentive without hovering. The food is exactly what you want from a café: fresh, hearty, and made with intention. The breakfast plates are generous, the coffee is smooth, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. My favorite was the breakfast sandwich -- warm, perfectly toasted, and loaded without being messy. Their pastries are also legit and worth grabbing on your way out. It's the kind of place you can go for a relaxed weekend breakfast or a quick stop during the week and always get something solid. Definitely a local gem I'II keep returning to. read more

Pretty disappointed in this place. For all the great reviews, I had the complete opposite experience. Took forever to be seated. There was a couple ahead of us and they were also getting frustrated that many workers kept passing by and some even asking "have you been helped?" And when told no they still didn't help and kept walking by. When we finally got sat, the service did not get any better. The coffee tasted weird. The French toast was burnt. I will say my steak was good. Overall, the food was nothing worth going back for. And the waiter/waitress service was horrible. No one checked on us at all till I asked for the bill. read more

Came here for breakfast and tried several of their platters. Enjoyed the French toast the most and the country potatoes. Pancakes were a bit in the rubbery side for me but the Belgian waffle was delicious. I'm a huge fan of eggs Benedict but the classic Benedict here was a bit lacking which may have been due to the super thick slice of ham and sauce. Service was friendly and thorough and place was warm and clean. read more

My man and I arrived in Oakhurst starving and ready for lunch! We had been in the car for about three hours, so we wanted to eat before we checked in at our hotel. My first choice was a poke food truck, however, it wasn't where it was listed on Yelp. Assuming it was closed for Christmas vacation, we came to this cafe instead. It was highly rated, so it would be good enough for a nice meal. Since we both wanted something light, we each had a salad. I had the Apple Pecan Chicken and he opted for the Salmon. The portions were huge! My plate was piled high with grilled chicken pieces, which I thought was a little too much. Even though the chicken was cooked well, I couldn't eat it all. I enjoyed the sweetness of the apple and the crunchiness of the pecans. There was a piece of bread on the side, but I didn't get to finish that either. I didn't bother trying my man's salad, but he was pleased. We were both highly satisfied with our meals. Our server was friendly and efficient. We were ready to continue with our romantic getaway! read more

It was our first time visiting Oakhurst, and after a long morning exploring Mariposa Grove, we decided to grab a bite in town. This place did not disappoint--it was perfect for our family! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. As for the food--everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious! The kids loved their chicken nuggets and pizza, and the curly fries were a hit. I had the blackened chicken pasta , and my daughter tried the shrimp Alfredo pasta--both were incredible! We were already talking about coming back for more. My husband ordered the chili verde omelette, and it was excellent. The waiter mentioned that their food is rated #1 in town, and we totally agree. A fantastic experience all around! read more

Came here on a busy Sunday morning with 4 of us. Was sat pretty quickly by the manager since they seemed short staffed. Host was taking a takeout order with a few parties behind us which I thought was out of the norm. Had the crab cakes Benedict which was good, kinda dry but the sauce made up for it. Would come back read more

Great local place for a nice meal. The server was very friendly and attentive. There is plenty of parking in the small shopping area. Our food was delicious and service was fast. The only negative I have about the menu is that there was not a vegetarian option so I was limited in what I could order. However our meal was delicious and portions plentiful. Although it's a small space you don't feel crowded. Definitely check it out. read more

Came here while on Vacation to Yosemite, this place was delicious. The home made menudo was so flavorful and had a nice spicy kick to it that made it taste authentic. The chicken fried steak was good and the portions were on part with the price point. The service was exceptional, we were a party of 20 and only waited for 10 minutes! Super fast friendly staff will definitely be back when we travel this way. Sensory level was a 6 and good outdoor eating area available. read more
