Meadow Grill

We were disappointed when we got there and learned they did not open until May. I wish they would update their hour.

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.

Nice little grill area perfect for lunch after a hard hike, which is exactly what I came here for.ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 7/10Average 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: 8/10Staff was kind and courteous. The orders came out on the slower side, but otherwise no issues.FOOD: 9/10Chicken 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: 8/10It'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: 9/10A 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

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.

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 accommodationsCons: Menu is blatantly labeled incorrect for food allergies which is very serious

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!

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).

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.

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.

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