Fresh, clean, good flavor. I had the pulled pork sandwich with house made coleslaw and pickles. My friend had the black & blue burger. Both were hot off the grill, fresh out the basket fries. They even made Moscow Mules and they were a perfect pairing. Indoor Dining area could use some freshening up but if you sit outside the vibe is mountain-air-chic. read more

Food was cooked to perfection and staff was sooooo nice. I would definitely come here again. read more

Yellow Jacket Eatery - Burgers Near Me - Trinity Center, California

Had the pleasure of sampling this gem in Trinity Center. It was a beautiful day and the outdoor seating was so nice. We ordered the tri-tip salad and the spicy chicken sandwich. The tri-tip was tender and drizzled with a brown sugar balsamic reduction. The veggies were fresh and the watermelon was so good and sweet. My husbands crispy spicy chicken was amazing. So crispy and the sauce, soooooo tasty (chefs kiss). Best chicken sandwich we've had in a long time. The fries were amazing, perfectly crispy and seasoned. They gave us a side of ranch that tasted heavily of dill. It was so good I drank what was left of it. Overall, highly recommend. Totally worth the wait. read more

Two stars is gracious and would have been one star if the girl serving wasn't as sweet as she was. We ordered a tritip salad and a kids hamburger. The "salad" came out after an hour. I finished the "salad" and after still not receiving the burger we asked to cancel it. I think they are trying, but the long wait time and the weird "salad" made this an unfortunate experience. read more

Hubby and I stopped in for lunch Labor day weekend. We wanted to sit outside as we had our pup with us. Nice shady area with tables. We both had cheeseburgers and fries. The absolute best burger that I have had in a very long time. Flavorful, juicy and cooked just right. Fries nice and crispy. Staff was very helpful and friendly. They are dog friendly too. Offered us a bowl and water for the pup. Highly recommend. read more

Service. 30 minutes to get ice tea after asking twice if we could just take it out. 45 minutes for one Order of flat bread. 50 minutes for 2 sandwiches that we took to go Buns burnt. Fries fried twice and burnt. Must be new owners. Last year this did not happen. Not good for a rural area that also needs to depend on locals. Want to send pictures of mushroom sandwich for $18.00 that has 2 pieces of baguette 2 1/2 I inches. Flat bread 6 inches $18.00! Never will return. read more

I'm a long time diner at the yellow jacket, for 50 Years or more. Unfortunately the change of ownership has not been kind. The cheeseburgers just don't taste anything like they used to. read more

My grandson and I go here often during the summer months for dinner or a late lunch. It has a very basic menu, mostly burgers and salads.But everything is excellent and served with a smile. On summer nights during the weekend, they have little concerts outside and it's just an enjoyable place to be. read more

Friendly fast service great food ambience was great sitting outside on the picnic table. If you happen to fly into 086 Airport, you will want to walk a short distance and eat at this restaurant. We brought our Segways In the plane, so the trip was easy and fast. read more

What a wonderful little eatery with outside seating. The cook knows what she is doing. Is she a chef? I don't know but she is good! I had the brisket with a salad. My husband had a hamburger. Excellent! What a pleasant surprise. Thank you! read more

First weekend in Trinity for the summer and beyond thrilled to see this place was back open. We popped by for their brunch and the food and service was fantastic. Definitely try the Bruschetta! Looking forward to coming back! read more

Awesome food with beautiful surroundings! Friendly staff and a great place to visit! Returning soon, hope to see you there.

Food is delicious and fresh made to order. Service is excellent! Pleasant outdoor seating area. Highly recommend

Going solely on the strength o the past reviews, we gave this little gem a try.... This is NO JOKE: the western burger is a thing of culinary beauty! Yes, the bun appears home-made....yes, the patty is hand-formed and delicious.......and yes, the sauce and rings are scratch-built and truly exceptional! We supplemented the magical burger with a basket of the best onion rings I have ever had the pleasure of sampling. Trinity Center is well-situated to be the food destination after you come out of a multi-day backpacking trip. I can conceive of no better place to address a caloric deficit! It's impressive enough, I'm plotting my next strike on Trinity to allow for one of their omelettes.......might slow down the hike in.....but bracketing backpacking food with this place seems like a necessary indulgence! read more

When they claim they have the best burger around they are 100% right! One of the best cheese burgers I've had in a long time! Old fashioned deliciousness and on a homemade bun to boot:) Just thinking about it is making my mouth water! The restaurant itself has its own charm. It felt like I was walking into a friends grandparents house(in the best way possible:) Very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The owners are an adorable couple and I believe the rest of the building is actually their home. Which makes the experience even more special for anyone who visits. If I find myself back up in the area I'll definitely be making a stop at the yellow jacket eatery again! read more

Advertised here as open. I have been here for the past three weeks and it has been closed everyday. Danny T. 8/4/18 to present read more

Ordered burgers. They came with small buns that fell apart after a few bites indicating they were likely frozen at one time. The meat was plentiful but rolled like a large egg. So the first few bites all you got was bun. For me, I like a patty because each bite has neat. Also, when you take a bite the large mound of meat is just a lot of meat with little flavor. I guess some like them this way. And we ordered one burger specifically because that choice doesn't come with cheese but when it came it had cheese. The cook brought it out to us and when I mentioned this burger has cheese she was apologetic and offered to replace it but said the order said to put cheese on it. I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes so we I just ate it with cheese. 30 minutes is a long time to wait to get your food especially when it wasn't busy at all, There was only two other customers at this time. That said, this is the only restaurant in the area so it will have to make do if you want a burger. The property was clean and well done compared to the prior owners. We liked sitting outside. Give them a try. read more

The food it's delicious fresh big portions serve hot the place look very clean the owner cook that great and is very friendly we really suggest to try this place we will be back soon read more

Went in here with mediocre expectations - it's just about the only restaurant in town and it was empty - but boy did they exceed those expectations! Had the Gunfighter burger with Gunfighter burger today with smoked bacon, cheese, onion ring and homemade BBQ sauce and it seriously blew my mind. Truly the best burger I've had in a long time. They were also super friendly, and not only brought out an ice-water bucket for our dogs, but also some bacon-soaked french toast to snack on. My dog gives 5 barks to this eatery too. read more

This place exceeded our expectations and left us agreeing with the other reviews on here. Yes it's simple, but the Gunfighter was certainly one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. The bun was excellent, but my girlfriend is gluten free and the protein style was also superb. She also loved her milkshake. For pilots this has to be the best $100 Hamburger in Northern California. The restaurant is about a 10 minute walk from the airport, and the owner even offered us a lift back and had some fun local flying tips. read more

This is a small town, mom and pop, restaurant with a Big Heart. The burgers are as good as you are going to find anywhere, big, meaty and delicious! Had a Gunfighter burger today with smoked bacon, cheese, onion ring and BBQ sauce. It's my new go to. The rest of the food and drinks are also really good. A must try when you are in the area. read more

Came to Trinity area for the long weekend. Stumbled upon this gem. The burger was amazing!! Ordered a Gunfighter which is like a "western" burger. BBQ sauce, bacon, onion rings and cheese read more

The absolute best burgers and shakes I've ever had!! Open Fri. through mon.

Took an hour to get our food. The KOA burger place was closed so this was the only option. The 9 dollar chicken basket was only 2 strips. I know this place is remote and you need to recoup your overhead, but that's highway robbery. I guess that's the charm, I don't mind waiting if the food is very good. It's mediocre at best. If you're in a hurry, skip this place and head to Weaverville or wait for Redding. If you're not in a hurry. I guess this place is good. But lower your expectations. read more

Talk about a breakfast. We roll in like 15min past breakfast time. My uncle somehow got them to cook some breakfast. Ham, bacon, sausage, pancakes and hashbrowns served buffet style. They negotiated a price so I won't post that here. But it was fanfrickingtastic and worth every penny. We left a 40% tip. My uncle and daughter got burgers a day later. Just like you would cook them at home. read more

Only the absolute best! This eatery in the heard of Trinity Center CA is one of the most amazing burger destination in the state! Friendly atmosphere, easier said than done for a good laugh in a family driven good old mom & pop joint. I would highly recommend a Monster Burger with an order of Fries and a Chocolate shake. If you ever have the opportunity you can't pass the Yellow Jacket without stopping in!! read more

I love the Yellow jacket, I grew up eating there. I visit less because I live like Seven hours away. This place is a special place to me, the people who work there I know pretty well. I feel sorry for them because they work really hard with usually two or three people in the kitchen every day. They're the sweetest people you could think of. read more
