Our Guestbook
“ You only have so many options around yosemite! This place was good for lunch and dinner! Seated right away, and they work hard. I got the salmon with potatoes & veges, so good! Another time I got the turkey sandwich with avocado. They serve a delicious homemade tomato soup! Ryan was our server both times and nice! ”
“ Good stop when visiting Yosemite! Everything we ordered was good! Burgers, sandwiches, fries, onion rings. Our waitress was so sweet as well. ”
“ Loved it. Very comfortable booths, helpful and friendly server, delicious onion rings ! The salmon was a bit too cooked for me, but just right for the boy friend. The veggies were perfect! ”
“ Food was good. Some was made there. Some was bought. The chicken friend steak was good. The gravy was packaged in my option. It reminded me of the McCormick mix you buy in the store. The onion rings were great and fresh. The pretzel sticks were good but obviously not made there. The service was really good. The atmosphere was good too. Great place to stop when you just got out of Yosemite. ”
“ We found this great little diner when our nearby resort was unable to accommodate us for dinner. It was so good we came back the next day for breakfast. Both were excellent! Big portions, super friendly service, and really inexpensive. The food is fresh and flavorful and we left feeling satisfied. ”
“ Yum...the breakfast sandwich on rye (instead of the bagel). The sandwich was delicious: eggs cooked perfectly, crispy bacon. Jessica was accommodating to my request. I ordered a side of sausage which wasn't cooked as well as I'd like, but that's on me, I could've specified "cook well" which is what I did do with the breakfast potatoes. They were wonderfully crispy. The café has a blast from the past vibe which I enjoyed. Jessica was a kind and caring server. I appreciated the good service as I've been on the road for a while. Three "yups" for Lucky Buck...I definitely recommend. ”
“ First time here based on recommendation from local people. Chicken fried steak did not disappoint at all. Avocado toast turned out so cute!! Service was great. They also sells souvenir. Such a cute place. ”
“ Ordered three pancakes with a side of bacon and an extra side of sausage to go. The pancakes were super delicious. Bacon was nice and thick and crispy. The sausage tasted like sausage, good but not as special as the pancakes and bacon. Food was ready super fast! I went to the bathroom and it was already done when I came out! There are four Electrify America chargers behind the restaurant. Was nice to charge while I waited for my food. They also have quite a few nice, shady outdoor tables! ”
“ On our way back from a beautiful weekend in Yosemite (you need to go to see it with snow), we stopped here. Came for lunch. We had the patty melt with fries and the Chinese chicken salad. Chicken was cooked well and served warm. Our server was great. ”
