Base Camp Eatery

Found this jewel in Yosemite. I didn't know it existed. Two visits. Divorced on Saturday for dinner, then taken a lunch on Wednesday. Very different experiences on both days. Saturday: We are on the way back from the fire. We decided to order here because there were tons of people everywhere and we thought it would take a long time to get out of the park and we didn't want to starve. The food was very crowded. Long lines. There was a person on mask control. Many options in the menu. Warm soups are perfect in a cold night. I waited for an hour before I had my food in my hands. At that time, the crowds leaving the park were gone. So I'm not waiting in a warm meal. There was a cashier who seemed overwhelmed with the crowd because she wasn't so friendly. She was worried that I asked her what number they were on orders. The lady who leads us to move the line was very patient. All chefs and servers were nice. But no one had a smile. No complaints. We had pepperoni pizzas. My pizza was over boiled and hard. I was too tired to complain and wait for another pizza. We ordered lunch. We had hamburgers and fires. No lines. No masses. We have our lunch fast. The cash registers were friendly. Cooks and servers were friendly. Everyone had a smile. We had our burgers to go so that we could make the El Capitan on the meadow picnic. The burger would have tasted better to eat it warm, but the view was much more beautiful on the meadow.

I had the Mediterranean bowl of entrees with 2 sides for $17.5 Grilled Chicken, with tomatoes salad and quinoa mix, with Creamy Garlic. Good portion size, chicken was good, not sharp. Cost-effective but better portion size than the chicken sandwich. The cheese cake was also great.

Pretty good food pretty good prices. It hit the place after the camping for a few days. There are also many meat substitutes on the menu. We had the salmon, the chicken and the tofu curry all were tasteful and satisfying served in large portions. The dining area is also sweet.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 Total: I was quite impressed by the price and portion size. There is also plenty of space for people to eat and they have water reservoirs! Food: Breakfast 4/5 There are some breakfast combos and a la carte selection. I would say that the a la carte seemed a little bigger for me in portions, although it was served by different people on different days. Service: 4/5 Friendly service by server. Environment: 4/5 A very spacious place to eat. Many tables and very delicious water filling stations.

The veg burger here beats all the burgers hands down !! The chicken burgers and the tenders are dry compared to the veg burger…a good place to stop eat and then hike at the yosemite…good space and only problem is that it remains shut in the afternoon ….
