49er Restaurant (at the Yosemite Ridge Resort)

49er Restaurant (at the Yosemite Ridge Resort)

Since we arrived to our lodge well after dark, we had no idea what was going to be around for breakfast the next morning. Prepared to drive back to town, we were pleasantly surprised at finding the 49er Restaurant about a half-mile away!

The exterior of the restaurant looked much like an old country general store. Indeed, as you entered you would see the type of things you’d expect...grocery items, toiletries, and outdoor gear. To the left of the entrance, however, was the dining area which also included a nice bar. Invited to seat ourselves, we took a table right in the middle of the restaurant, in order to take in all that may go on around us. It was clear after only sitting there for a few minutes that this may be the last stop in civilization before arriving at Yosemite National Park, some 30 to 45 minutes away. There were many hikers and outdoorsmen who stopped here to fill up coolers and backpacks for their time in the park.

Since we saw that blueberry and strawberry pancakes were the featured special, it was difficult to consider other options. As we looked through the menu, however, and saw a plate of eggs Benedict go by...we decided that we would both give them a try. Served with your choice of home fries or hash browns, our breakfast was a very filling meal. The hollandaise sauce was a bit different that I was accustomed to; it had a much heavier and robust consistency. Delicious none the less! David said the coffee was outstanding, especially having had a cup of the in-room brew.

The service was outstanding and very attentive. I think she was by to warm up his cup at least every ten minutes. We were also very pleased with the value, with our breakfast costing right at $25 including tax and gratuity. They also have a full selection of menu items for lunch and dinner. The names of the sandwiches and salads had fanciful names based on television shows of the 1950s and 1960s. Dinner entrées included chicken, steak, fish, and burgers. Prices seemed to be reasonable.

If you are making the drive to Yosemite National Park via CA 120, you can plan for a great meal at the 49er Restaurant at the Yosemite Ridge Resort.
