Date of visit: May 26, 2024 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. Signing off -KT

Heading home from Yosemite and wanted to support local business! Burgers are SO GOOD! Lots of fries YUMMY

Great place to stop for a bite heading toward Yosemite. Keep a sharp eye on the right side as you pass the traffic light and round the bend. This is your old style burger joint with some added menu items. Most notably is a breakfast menu which features omelets, pancakes and other items. I came for a quick lunch. The new items was the smash burger which sounded good: sautéed onions mixed in the beef with cheese and 1000 island dressing plus the fixings. I went with the cheeseburger and it was plenty. The meal came with a big pile of onion rings of which maybe I ate a third. The food and service is great. The prices, especially for breakfast. The omelets are over $20! Also I did not see shakes /ice cream.

Had lunch here with my wife. Good lunch. Guess they just got new owners. The gyro was good! We also tried the cold turkey sandwich. Pretty good as well. The zucchini fries were amazing!! Overall very good. Service was great as well. Pricey but what isn't these days!

Pros: *Good food *Sit down & drive thru *Staff was very nice and helpful Cons: *Prices. Not sure if it cause of rural location, food cost, or tourist location Extra: *They have specials
