The new owners are fantastic. The food is elevated above typical mountain restaurant fare. They hand make their own fries and chips and salsa and mixers. The service is great, and the regulars are fun and inclusive. Great spot for tourists and locals alike. Awesome deck for hanging out. Live music and karaoke too! read more

My friend and I stopped by to get dinner after exploring the national parks. We both had burgers and really enjoyed them. The patties were very juicy and flavorful. I would also recommend onion rings and sweet potato fries. The staff were super friendly and helped us make our food selection. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

This is the place to go when you need a greasy, filling meal after a long day of hiking. You don't have to wait for a table, can sit at the bar and order your drinks and a meal, and the staff is extremely friendly. All of the locals will stare at you, and yes, one drunken local will say "You're not from here, are ya?" and that's all alright, because you'll still feel very welcomed. My dining companion and I both ordered burgers - he got the one with the BBQ sauce on it, and I got the one with the bacon on it. Both were good. Greasy, but good. They put enough pickles on the burgers to bite through the indulgent cheese and sauces. The onion rings are huge, thick cut, and fried crispy; they did not taste frozen. The bartender was very friendly. She was patient with us while we looked over the menu, answered my companion's questions about the beer, and even gave me two free shots she had created for another table. The final check was inexpensive. My only issue is that I agree with Kristin that there's a difference between divey and dirty. While I think it deserves more than the one star Kristin gave it, the place does need a bit of a cleaning, sanding and refinishing; you can see the layer of stickiness on the wood bar, and at least one of the bar stools was ripped open, stuffing exposed. A little bit of sanding and refinishing the bar, along with a cleaning and sprucing up could bring this place up a star or two. read more

Ok, let's get one thing straight. There's a difference between divey and dirty. I have no problem with dive bars. This place was disgusting. Our table was stickier than Clark Griswald's Christmas tree and was covered in dead flies. Check out my pictures, I couldn't pick my napkin up after setting it down on the table. The food was actually good although I hate to think what state the kitchen was in. The cherry on top is when a woman pulled up in a truck, left her kids in the front seat, and came in to drink. Classic. read more

We drove through after a visit to Sequoia. We had a fairly good hamburger and a couple of beers. The building is historic. The ownership is doing the best they can considering the small town and reliance on locals and tourist. I hope for the best. read more

Come in after a day in Kings Canyon with a large group. Everyone was friendly and kind. We were welcomed like we were locals. The food was excellent all around. Not one person had anything but glowing reviews. Lots of burgers, chili cheese fries, fish and chips. If you happen to be going down this long mountainside road and need a bite to eat, stop on in. I hope you are as impressed as our group. read more

Found the place by accident. Felt like we went back in time, we had lunch there. It was awesome, sandwich and fries are home made fresh. Service was great and friendly. Wish i had taken some photos to post it. Next time read more

One of the most enjoyable bars I've ever been to. A legit dive, but so comfy and wonderful. A large fireplace, loud jukebox, high ceilings, preserved 100 year old building. Sassy staff and true locals. I'm in love. Didn't try any food. read more

Authentic, rustic and a step back into 1909. Fantastic food if you are looking for a burger and fries. Portions are generous too. Food comes out piping hot! Not many places in the area, so they don't have to have the best food ...but it's great! You will feel welcome too. read more

Me and my mom discovered this hidden gem while hiking in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. The food here is amazing. We came here three evenings in a row and we were never disappointed. The burgers are phenomenal and the sweet potato fries are to die for. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is top notch. We will definitely be back for another burger when we're in the area!!! read more

Part divebar, part hunting lodge, all confusing.

such a great place! nice people. we came up on a rainy cold day with two little hungry kids, they welcomed us in right away, the fire was hot the food was good and the Company was nice. Will definitely be back! Thanks so much guys! read more

Classic small town feel. We stopped by both days after hiking in Kings Canyon. The food was great and the people and service even better. Cold beers and fun meeting the locals and learning about the area. Highly recommend stopping if you drive by. read more

I have lived in the mountains for several decades and I don't get there as often as I like. Recently they added the Rough Fire burger which lives up to its name. read more

Great burgers, some specials like a Portabella mushroom sandwich, cheap drinks, great people-watching. Very windy road from Hwy. 180. Go!

Made a special trip down here from the Park based on prior reviews. Terrific turnip/carrot soup and chef shared the recipe. Great Halloween ambiance and friendly service Fettuccine Alfredo was a tasty main dish. Best of all the service was 1000% better than what we experienced at the grant grove restaurant. read more

We were looking for a place to eat post hiking in kings canyon. Yelp led us to pinehurst lodge. The lodge is clearly a local watering hole and has plenty of character to match. I was disappointed at the complete lack of veggie options, but had the blt with onion rings and salad. I wasn't expecting much from the salad but it was quite fresh and tasty. The onion rings were hot, crispy and on point. Blts were average - bacon was crispy but cold, surprising as we were the only guests eating at the time. However everything hit the spot since we were super hungry! Service was very friendly. If you are looking for something a step above what the park has to offer but aren't too picky this is your spot. read more

Great Bardone Breakfast Sandwhich. Good food.

The hamburger was good. I was supposed by how many different beers they offered. Well priced. Friendly people.

A very funny place (to the frenchman I am !). Lost in the mountains it's a plesure to find good beer, food, music and poeple joyfull.

I've eaten at this restaurant several times this year. It is not far from where I live. The food has always been good and the service prompt with friendly employees. They have been serving a special on Monday nights. I stopped by recently and ordered it. The special was 3 ribs, garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms, a salad, bread, and pineapple upside down cake for dessert. The meal was excellent and the ribs were very tasty and tender. I didn't have room for dessert. I strongly recommend this establishment. read more

We were staying at a local National Park, and read on Yelp the great reviews for this place. I will say, that from the Kings Canyon Park, the drive down Rt 245 is not for the timid driver, very steep and many turns. But when we got to the restaurant, we were quite glad we made the trip. The place has tons of atmosphere, the waitress told us the building is over 100 years old. Lots of wood everywhere. One of those old wooden bars from many years ago, fully stocked, but also many comfortable tables for a family to sit to eat. The people inside were very welcoming and friendly. We ate lunch there, my wife had the bacon cheeseburger and onion rings, I had the Teriyaki Burger with fries. The food was served very quickly, but not before we had enough time to walk around the restaurant to look at all the knick knacks and pictures/paintings. The food was great, the fries and onion rings alone were worth the trip. The burgers were great as well. The staff and customers kept us entertained with pleasant conversation, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Definitely worth making a trip to this restaurant. read more

Hard to describe how great this place is. It's the place you wish you'll find whenever you visit a national park. The atmosphere and fireplace are great. The people that run the place are very friendly, same applies for the locals who hangout there.. Georgia makes her own very special cocktails, and Miss BJ has great tips for what to do around. The porterhouse, rib eye steak, and homemade fries were great. read more

Cozy woodland cabin that serves a good steak. On the positive side I'm an outdoors man and this spot feels great. On the negative side I'm also a beer snob, and they have no taps and only bottled basics. read more

Great place to eat when visiting the National forest. Kids loved it. My daughter said it was the best chicken fingers she's ever had. A local hangout, very comforting. Spicy chicken salad was excellent and big. I had the chicken picatta. Cooked differently but very good!! read more

Great burger and the fries were awesome, well worth the 15 min scenic drive from 180 on the 245. I will be back after another trip up to the sequoias. read more

I really don't know where to begin. You must skip this place. From the ziplock bag of water hanging in the door way to the dead bugs in the window to the sticky table and the dead deer staring at you, I am not sure why I tried to order food here. That all should have been a really good sign as to what would be served. We came just to eat so I am not sure what the lodge looked like but if it was anything like the saloon/restaurant/general store, I would venture to guess another place to stay would be recommended. The food was inedible. I ordered a grilled turkey sandwich on parmesan crusted sourdough. Sounded decent but the meat was unidentifiable and the bread was dripping with grease and the parmesan just seemed so soggy from the greasy butter that must have been slathered on the bread. I think the so called turkey may have been packaged overly processed meat bought in a 7-11. I could not eat it. Also the regular fries were soggy. The sweet potato fries were decent though. My husband got a burger and he said it was good however he has been sick with an upset stomach for a day and a half after eating it. There are not very many options of places to eat once you get near the Sequoias so I suggest getting something in Visalia like Subway or pack your own lunch if you are headed up to the Sequoia's. This place is a must miss unless you just want a beer. The waitress was really nice. I felt bad for her since she was the waitress, the bartender the chef and was answering the phone. The general store was attached to this place and it was mostly empty other than a variety of free old dusty books, and a few items like 1 package of oreos, 1 package of cheetos, and a few other things that they had one of and a fridge full of some beverages. There was no one working there and no register so I assume the same girl was handling the general store as well as waitressing, cooking, and answering the phone. read more

Great place to stop on a country drive towards Sequoia, Prime Rib dinners on weekend can be great, the Pastrami on Rye sandwich was as good as it gets in SFO. Wonderful fireplace and folks from anywhere in the world stopping in. Definitely worth the drive and stop. Great drinks and decent selection of wines. Locals add color and are a delight to talk to. read more

the burgers were great! it seems to be a local place, service was friendly and I think they typically cater more towards the adult population; although they were really nice to our kids and fulfilled our son's weird dinner request. it had a very friendly atmosphere and looked rather saloon-ish. i liked it and would definitely go back when I am in the area. read more

If you're in the area, it's the only place to go. Food is good, service is excellent and ambiance is exactly what you'd expect in the mountains...rustic and casual. Doesn't look like much, but down a few drinks and some good food and you'll be fine... read more

My wife and I took a drive this afternoon and had a late lunch and drinks at Pinehurst Lodge. Mood and service was outstanding. So nice to be able to go to such a welcoming place as a first time visitor. read more

Great! Super friendly, and awesome food. BBQ pork sandwich and ruben! would return if we make it back to that area.

Yuck!!! All the grossness you can get in one place. What looked like animal hair in the wife's food. Bathrooms smell like an outhouse. Had a, "special drink" rancid. Drunk and vulgar atmosphere. Not a family destination. Keep driving..... the department of health and safety should check this place out. read more

My family and I just love this place! I have never had anything from the menu that wasn't absolutly delicious and cooked perfectly. The service is always friendly and upbeat. They have a full bar and great bartenders. They just recently built a beautiful deck that is a must see. I live an hour and a half away from this restuarant and I try to make it up there any chance I can get, it's that good!!! read more

Order the steak you cannot go wrong. Vegetables are overcooked and lettuce is wilted. Great place to have a drink. It is like no other place you have ever been and that is in a good way. read more
