Food is decent considering the price and the atmosphere is great!

Food was pretty good. Fast food. Prices only a little expensive, but cheap compared to other Yosemite food.

Great place to eat. Good food at a reasonable price and really fast service. Not much wait lines due because of the kiosks. Such a great management in the middle of a national Park.

We’ve been coming to Yosemite for years and the Base Camp Eatery was always shockingly good with many options for the members of our party with Celiac and another member with allergies. However, since the restaurant has changed to only offering fried chicken sandwiches the best kept secret in Yosemite had become a disaster. We can no longer eat here and from my last two trips to the park it looks like very few others do too. Our previous trip before had the BCE serving poke bowls, which were fine, but it was very problematic because that is just not enough dinner calories after 12-16 mile hikes and they were very $$$ for what you got. We miss the BCE that offered a rotating (often international) option, Pizza, and sandwiches. The rotating option was healthy, offered enough calories to support long days outside, had lots of veggies, and was always delicious. It’s such a shame that the catering company has ruined BCE. Hoping the great old cafe comes back soon.

Sadly, this place now just offers burgers and fries. It used to offer great, interesting food. They changed and it’s a shame.

The food is nothing special, but the service is fast. There wasn't food which would be better than typical American fastfood average, but..well..at least you won't b hungry, that's what I can promise to you.

must try the chicken sandwich with butter milk sauce, cholula hot sauce, and ketchup (the cholula hot sauce isn't to spicy at all so don't be afraid of going overboard with it)

Waste of money and time. Eat cold roasted vegetable wrap…totally bland taste and bite containing hummus was bitter. Green tortillas was semi soft (or semi hard…wrap could have been bit better if served hot. See pic. Also tried cheese melt (kids menu); light on cheddar cheese with bit burned bread toast…with no butter used for making this melt. The guy (who made this cheese melt) placed a cheese slice on hot plate and then after 10 seconds transferred that melted cheese to bread toast.

Breakfast was decent today, 1/28 but we showed up to grab dinner at 8:15pm and they had already closed up. Posted hours says open until 9pm. A little disappointed in that.

I haven't been here in two years and things have changed. Now, there's no more Sbux. You also need to place an order through a kiosk, including beverages. I got a vegetarian breakfast burrito which they literally made in seconds. It was ginormous - full of eggs, potato, spices, etc. I ate half for breakfast and half for lunch. So it turned out to be a good deal! It was pretty satisfying and flavorful. I'd get that again. Their drip coffee, dispensed from thermoses, was ok. I'd hold onto my coffee cup and go in for refills. Not sure if you're supposed to pay for a refill. I didn't and saw others doing the same.

A comfortable place to take a break and have a quick bite. The food menu is simple but it does offer choices for different diet preference. The food is fine and is reasonably priced. Everything is self served and the process is efficient. The dining hall provides plenty of seatings.

This place has changed a lot since we last came and for the better. A decent selection of food options, which seem to change given the other reviews - or they have a different dinner menu. It gets busy around 1pm for lunch. Plenty of seating and kiosks from which to order your food.

garbage food, poor quality lack of healthy options be warned, pack stuff to bring if you don’t want to eat this overpriced nonsense. Would it really take that much effort to make this a little better? Aramark catering?

I don't know why this place is rated so poorly. Tons of options and vegetarian friendly. I ate here for 3 days and everything I had was good. I preferred hanging out in here more than my room during the rainy days. It gets loud during the morning hours but quiets down around noon. For 2 people for each meal it cost us about $20-$30.

One of the few options to eat at in Yosemite. You order your food at kiosks and grab your food when your number is called. The drinks are self service. The menu items are mostly separate and can add up in price quick. The tables are spread apart and there is lots of space. The food was what you'd expect for a food court. It got the job done. The staff who you did interact with were nice.

Nice stuff but horrible food. Ordered biscuit chicken sandwich but everything is cold( yes, everything). A frozen Microwave chicken sandwich from a grocery store would taste even better. Not recommended!

Nice clean place. You order and pay at kiosks and wait for your order. Very efficient. Reasonable prices.

Great coffee. They need free and fast wifi though. That would attract more business. Aramark needs to recognize the usefulness of starlink and invest in some satellite wifi systems. That would attract so many more customers to this business.

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! Just take a look at the pictures and see for yourself. $4.25 for a portion of fries and u get half a box. The chicken burger barely had chicken and the all the food was luke warm at a best. The staff behind the counter feel like they are doing you a favour with such attitude. If you don't want to work then don't as you are ruining the Yosemite experience for everyone coming. The deck serving pizza is super fresh and the staff are friendly. I guess the lady working at the grocery store next to the deck was right about the food at the base camp eatery. Don't know why people have to be given such poor food!
