Food was a little too salty but had great flavor otherwise. Very friendly service. This is an order at the counter and they bring you the food type of place

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Pete's Place. The overall experience was delightful, with a couple of noteworthy highlights and a minor issue worth mentioning. First, the ambiance of the restaurant was exceptionally welcoming and comfortable, contributing positively to the dining experience. Furthermore, the food quality, on the whole, was impressive, offering good value for the price—a factor that significantly enhances its appeal.

However, there was a slight hiccup with my order. Despite opting for a double bacon cheeseburger, my meal arrived sans the bacon—a noticeable discrepancy in the accompanying photo, although my companions received their orders as requested. This oversight did not detract from the meal's overall enjoyment, yet it's an area for improvement. The service staff demonstrated professionalism and amiability throughout our visit, indicating that had I raised the issue of the missing bacon, it would have likely been addressed promptly and satisfactorily. Regrettably, this realization dawned on me only towards the end of my meal, at which point I opted not to mention it.

Pete's Place offers a commendable dining experience characterized by a pleasant atmosphere, excellent food quality, and cordial service. While there was a minor flaw in the execution of my order, it does not overshadow the many positives. I would happily recommend Pete's Place to others and look forward to returning, hopeful for a bacon-inclusive experience next time.

Guys, this is an amazing place to go and enjoy A GOOD filling MEAL or A SANDWICH.
I was staying here for two days visiting Yosemite national park. I was amazed with the food taste and customer service. Go ahead and check them out. You will be glad You did.

Had a good breakfast with family and an old friend. The meals were simple yet done well. I had the French toast breakfast, it was good. I ordered 2 pancake breakfasts to go and the kids ate them right up. Service was great, very friendly counter gal. Had plenty of syrup, napkins, and extra silverware. There was a lot of seating available, and the place was clean, and condiments readily available. There is a lot of nostalgia with this place for me personally, but you can't go wrong with a Pete's breakfast. Will be back.

Order: Chicken Sandwich Combo with French Fries, 1/4 lb Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Rings

Went here on the way out of Oakhurst Memorial Day weekend 2024 to grab lunch and immediately gave them brownie points in my mind coz I am a sucker for an old American diner style vibe, only the great part with Pete's, is that the staff is equally as courteous!

Ordered a chicken sandwich with fries for my girlfriend and a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings for myself. The chicken sandwich was like what you'd expect a chicken sandwich to be -- nice, big filet, good spicy sauce, lightly toasted bun (I forget the veggies in there), all in all, a solid sandwich there. Moving on to the fries...now I realize a lot of this review is going to sound like I am exaggerating, but believe me, I ain't! The fries were a perfect golden blend of crisp, fried potato and JUST the right amount of salt -- not too less, not too much (which has been an all too common experience for me at basically every place lately).

On to the main event: the Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Rings -- I will get the onion rings out of the way, and on the way, deduct a couple points on this one; while the rings themselves very pretty good, good amount of crisp, not dripping with oil, good ratio of breading to onion, they did feel a tad too salty, unsure if it was the rings themselves or the ranch that made them feel so, but just something to note. But, the burger itself, hands down THE BEST CHEESEBURGER I've had in my life -- absolutely perfectly cooked bacon, laying on top of the most succulent medium well patty, makes me want to quote Marshal Ericsson from that one episode of How I Met Your Mother:

"Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it's so much more than "just a burger." I mean... that first bite-oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then... a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a... a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us in food."

To sum up, I don't know if it was the hospitality, the ambience, the fact that I was tired AF after driving ~900 miles in 2 days or Pete just landed the best burger chef's on the planet, I am surely going to recommend my next friends' trip be to Yosemite with a stay at Oakhurst just so I can grab myself a few more meals at Pete'e Place.

Hair in my food. Two girls looked at it to say it wasn't theirs. Admit it's not the first time and walked away. No replacement. Never seen a hair net on anyone on the grill. My family won't be coming back.
