Best overall pick
Jackalope's Bar & Grill
At Tenaya At Yosemite In Fish Camp • Casual Mountain Grill • Local Favorite
Lively lodge-side spot for burgers, salads, and local beers without leaving Fish Camp.
Jackalope's is the workhorse restaurant at Tenaya, and it hits the sweet spot between relaxed and polished. Expect big, satisfying plates—burgers, tacos, salads, and kid-friendly staples—along with a good tap list and plenty of cozy, wood-and-stone lodge atmosphere. It’s the place most visitors end up at least once, whether you’re rolling in late from Yosemite Valley or warming up after a day in the snow.
02
For a special night out
Sierra Restaurant
Inside The Main Lodge At Tenaya At Yosemite • Upscale Lodge Restaurant • Best For Date Night
A more refined dining room at Tenaya with seasonal, sit-down meals and an elevated wine list.
When you want something nicer than pub fare, Sierra Restaurant is the grown-up option right in the lodge. The menu leans toward contemporary American with mountain touches—think well-executed steaks, fish, and seasonal sides—with thoughtful vegetarian choices and a solid wine selection. It’s an easy choice for a celebratory vacation dinner that still feels relaxed enough for resort wear rather than formal dress.
03
Easy crowd-pleaser
Timberloft Pizzeria
Tenaya At Yosemite Adventure Area In Fish Camp • Family-Friendly Pizzeria • Best For Families
Laid-back pizzas and sharable snacks that are perfect after a day of hiking or sledding.
Timberloft Pizzeria is built for low-effort, high-comfort meals—order a couple of pies, grab a drink, and spread out. The atmosphere is casual and kid-forward, with plenty of space for groups and a menu that sticks to pizzas, wings, and simple salads. It’s especially handy if you’re staying in the cabins or using the adjacent recreation areas and want something easy without getting back in the car.
04
Classic Yosemite choice
Wawona Hotel Dining Room
Historic Wawona, North Of Fish Camp • Historic Hotel Dining Room • Classic Yosemite Stop
A vintage, veranda-fronted dining room serving traditional American dishes inside Yosemite National Park.
About a 20-minute drive from Fish Camp, the Wawona Hotel Dining Room is as much about atmosphere as the menu. You’ll eat in a bright, old-fashioned room or on the porch, surrounded by lawns and giant sequoias, over familiar comfort dishes and simple, well-prepared mains. Pair dinner here with a visit to the nearby Mariposa Grove or a stroll around Wawona for a very ‘old Yosemite’ evening.
05
Worth the drive
South Gate Brewing Company
Oakhurst Along Highway 41 • Craft Brewery Gastropub • Best For Craft Beer Lovers
Bustling Oakhurst brewery turning out house-made beers and hearty pub food about 25 minutes from Fish Camp.
When you’re ready to mix up the lodge scene, head down the hill to South Gate Brewing in Oakhurst. The draw here is a lineup of house beers—IPAs, stouts, and seasonal brews—backed by big burgers, sandwiches, salads, and daily specials that go well beyond basic bar food. It’s a lively, locals-and-travelers mix that feels like a real mountain town hangout, and a smart stop if you’re already in Oakhurst for groceries or errands.
