Priest Station Cafe

16756 Old Priest Grade Big Oak Flat, CA 95305 (209) 962-1888

We timed our trip out to Yosemite just right! Got to lunch at this amazing cafe. Our 2nd time here. We read the entire menu. We wanted to try 6 six things. Then because of our love of avocados we settled on a repeat from last time with a slight twist. Meet the Chicken-Beef California Burger!

Just another encounter with getting to enjoy two tastes when traveling with your bestie. You order up a beef one and a chicken one, then slice, and splice ’em together.

The fries here are fantastic or “to die for” if I’m to quote myself from my previous review on Yelp. The service is exceptional. The owner served us. At least, I’m 99.9999% sure she is the owner. We were just too caught up in our sandwiches to talk. How exceptional you ask? We started cutting our meats in half with the butter knives and before we made much progress she came running (safely) to our aid with a steak knife.

Good tip to know. They don’t charge extra for the Incredi Burger which is incredible. Those patties are pricier than chicken (perhaps not beef in recent days—cause of supply shortages). We were very much tempted cause it’s one of our favorite things to make at home. The price for value is fantastic. Someday we hope to arrive early enough to catch their breakfast menu which looks amazing. I’m eyeing one of their egg omelettes.

They’re located right at the top of steep Old Priest Road or if you’re more like me take the new windy Priest Road up on the way to Yosemite if you’re planning to enter from the north side. It’s our favorite approach to the park. I only take Old Priest Road on the way down.
