The Restaurant at Rush Creek Lodge

Stopped in for dinner around 6:30 pm on Friday and had under a 5 minute wait. We tried their Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches with fries. Everything was delicious and although our server was busy, she did a good job. Beautiful resort and nice restaurant.

We were very impressed by the food and service at this restaurant. The menu has a wide selection, including plenty of vegetarian choices. Food is exceptional, and the desserts are even better. Service was impeccable even on a crowded holiday weekend. Will definitely come back to this place next time I visit Yosemite.

We were in Yosemite on a Friday night and everything was crowded with 1 hour+ wait times. Drove out of the valley to this peaceful resort and was given a 10 minute wait. The kids played in the game room while we waited to be seated. The food was better than anything I’ve eaten in Yosemite valley. Portions were fair. My teenage son loved his El Capitan Bison burger and struggled to finish it. You are paying full Yosemite prices, but that’s part of California. Other favorites in the family were the salmon and the fish and chips. We have a celiac/gluten-free in the family and they were able to accommodate our needs.

I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was very good. The fries seemed to be the kind that come from a bag in the freezer. $28 seemed too high for that.

Good food close to Yosemite Valley. We stopped here on the way back from firefall viewing, and the food was extremely delicious. We started with chicken wings and tomato soup. Both were very delicious. The wings are spicy and come with a side of celery. For the main course we ordered black bean burger(surprisingly delicious), Philly cheese steak and poke. Except poke the rest came with a side of fries and the burger also has pickle. We came in extremely hungry and the portion size was so big that we had leftovers.

DONT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE GAY! I took my boyfriend out for what I thought would be a nice valentine’s dinner and despite me making reservations and the dining room being almost completely empty we were sat in the very loud bar amongst 4 tables that had a total of 10 loud children with Fox News playing on their tv’s… so romantic. I obviously was pretty upset by all of this and asked to speak with the manager who sat us, he denied doing anything wrong and argued with me until I called him out for seating us here specifically because we’re a gay couple. On the way out of the front desk area while returning to our car I heard the manager who sat us complaining to another manager about how they’ll be dealing with stuff like this all summer… and I really really hope yall do deal with a lot more gay people like me who don’t tolerate this type of bullshit and discrimination.

This place was like an oasis in the desert. Even if the west entrance of Yosemite Park is blocked, it's very important for me to be able to sit down and have a Guinness beer after the trail. Restaurants, shops and bars, outdoor bonfires and cute gardens are great. I think it's a good place to stop for a while and take a walk and rest

This was a great experience, even without considering it's a lodge in a remote place! The food was good and reasonably priced, great selection and prompt service. The lodge itself is also very nice - that's a separate review :) highly recommend if you're leaving Yosemite, I think it's better than many options that are closer to more populated areas
