Oakhurst Restaurants

We are visiting Oakhurst and Madera County quarterly to make sure that we share with you the best restaurants near Oakhurst CA and the places that we have fallen in love with. We partnered with Visit Yosemite Madera County to spend time in the area and truly dive into the restaurant scene and the best things to do in Oakhurst.

Oakhurst truly is the southern gateway to Yosemite National Park and the perfect place to stay during your visit. Located less than 20 miles from the southern entrance to Yosemite you can enjoy all of the benefits of being in town while soaking up everything amazing in Yosemite NP.

We are sharing our favorite local restaurants and skipping over most of the fast food and chain restaurants you already know about.

In case you are wondering Oakhurst does have the following chain/fast food restaurants: Carl's Jr, Burger King, McDonald's, Papa Murphy's, Jack in the Box, Round Table, Starbucks, and more.

The majority of Oakhurst Restaurants are located right off of Highway 41 and are easy to find.

For the past couple of years, we have been working on our Oakhurst Restaurant Guide sharing our favorite restaurants not to miss. I thought it would be fun to share specific menu items that we LOVE!!

South Gate Brewing Company (Brewery and Pub)

The South Gate Brewery and Restaurant is perfect for dinner and an epic beer. They have a large selection of beers that are brewed onsite at the restaurant.

South Gate Brewing Company brings out new beers at least once a month with rotating taps. They have seasonal beers and a collection of tried and true brews that are always on the menu.

The food is fantastic! Make sure and try the wood-fired Bavarian Pretzels with Beer Cheese! YUM!

They offer a wide selection of burgers including an amazing house-made black bean quinoa burger that is beyond good.

The P.B.L.T Sandwich is unbelievable! A twist on a classic BLT made with Pork Belly.

The beer cheese mac and cheese is delicious. Make sure to try the honey-chipotle dipping sauce.

South Gate Brewing Company is one of the most popular spots for dinner in Oakhurst! Be prepared for a wait if you visit on a Saturday night or really any night during the summer.

Cowboy Tavern

Located 10 miles from the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park and 4 miles from Bass Lake. The restaurant is located at the Sierra Sky Ranch Historic Hotel established in 1875.

The Cowboy Tavern is one of our favorite restaurants in Oakhurst! The food is truly epic! The restaurant was recently renovated and updated and it looks amazing.

From the crystal chandeliers to the bison head on the wall, you can expect an eclectic mix of modern country. The food is some of the best we have had in a long time.

I need you to try the Pale Ale Cheddar Dip. We talked about having our entrees packaged to go so we could order a 2nd cheese dip it was that good.

We ended up trying to share the cheese dip and not keep it to one side of the table though I will admit to stealing the last piece of toasted bread.

My husband said the Shepherd's Pie was amazing. He ordered a double serving after spending the day exploring Yosemite NP and couldn't finish the cast iron skillet full of meat, potatoes, and veggies.

I tried the Ziti Arabica and it was delicious. The pasta bowl had so much food in it barely looked like I had touched it when I was done.

For dessert, you need to try the pear crumble. I am not sure why I haven't been making brown sugar whipped cream at home but that will be changing! The house-made vanilla bean ice cream was perfection.

The ranch was the area's first working cattle ranch and supplier of fruits, veggies, and meat for the Soquel and Sugar Pine logging camps.

Famous guests include John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe.

A visit to El Cid is always on our agenda when in Oakhurst. Every single thing we have tried at El Cid has been delicious.

I am honestly not sure how they blend their margaritas but they are beyond delicious. I need them to start teaching margarita classes they are that good.

Menu items not to miss:

Bistek Ranchero - Grilled steak with tomatoes, jalapeno, and onions, served with rice and beans, and fresh flour tortillas.

Carne Asada Steak Taco - All I can say is this is a must-try!! So flavorful! Make sure you have a napkin ready because this steak taco is filled with juicy steak and my husband managed to have it drip down his shirt. He said it was so good that it was worth the stain on his shirt.

Me-N-Eds Pizza

There are a few arcade games in the back for fun. They also have a small salad bar, soda, and tea machines with free refills, and space to relax.

This pizza restaurant reminds me of a place where sports teams would go to celebrate a game or the end of the season. Super casual and easy.

The garlic cheese bread is amazing and I would go back just for the cheese bread. It has alfredo sauce, garlic, and a ton of cheese. You might be able to fight off vampires after eating it but it is so worth it!

Buckhorn Saloon

The Buckhorn Saloon is one of those places you just have to experience. We heard from many people that the Buckhorn was a must try and then they would kind of smirk and say you will love it.

I was honestly not sure what to expect other than I had heard there were dead animals on the wall and it was full of character. We went in not really knowing how the food would be but knowing we would have experience either way.

What I love is this is a family restaurant and a saloon at the same time. Sure there are a lot of dead animals on the wall but they also have Easter brunch and celebrations at the saloon.

I will warn you that John had the chicken wings and they are spicy and HOT! He was sweating at times and said that they were hot wings and they were not lying.

The Buckhorn Saloon is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with daily specials. On Wednesday the kitchen is closed but the bar is open.

Axis Coffee Bar + Eatery

Axis Coffee Bar + Eatery is an Instagram dream! Epic food, a super cute coffee bar, and great outdoor seating.

I need you to get the Gruyere grilled cheese with honey and Jacobsen's sea salt with a tomato bisque soup! I am drooling a bit just thinking about it! Yes, it is that good!

They offer breakfast and lunch along with a great coffee and tea menu.

If we lived close to Axis Coffee Bar I would be there more often than I probably want to admit. It is the perfect coffee shop for relaxing with a friend or getting some work done.

The Vineyard Restaurant & Bar

The Vineyard Restaurant offers fine dining with an epic wine selection. I need you to try the Grown-up Fried Mozzarella with roasted garlic, rosemary, and a raspberry-red wine reduction! You will never look at mozzarella sticks the same after trying it.

The Central California Raisin Growers Ham and Swiss Sandwich on Raisin Bread is a grown-up grilled cheese not to be missed.

Truthfully everything we have tried at the Vineyard Restaurant has been amazing.
