Coarsegold
Wild Fig Kitchen

Wild Fig Kitchen opened in March 2017 and is located in the Historical Coarsegold Village in Coarsegold, CA.

Robert’s Frosty
(Directions) On the main drag in Coarsegold, Robert’s Frosty is an old-fashioned diner like your parents went to when they were teenagers. Pics of Marilyn Monroe, the Rat Pack, and Elvis Presley hang on the wall. The TV shows classic movies. And the same person who took your order and payment brings out a tray with your food you wanted. Robert’s Frosty is fun a place to hang out with your friends, take the kids to for a quick meal or sit inside to get out of the blistering heat and let’s eat while we’re at it! (Yelp)
Oakhurst
Pizza Factory
(Directions) For over 30 years, Pizza Factory has stayed true to its roots. Hardworking owners and staff, family-friendly dining, and a high-quality product make us who we are. We take pride in the smile that first bite of pizza gives our guests. We strive to make everyone feel as if this is their hometown pizzeria. “We Toss’em, They’re Awesome” — our hand-tossed pizzas are simply the best. Each bubbly, cheesy pie is made with the 100% real mozzarella cheese and our signature sauce. It’s hard to say what makes it so delicious: the dough, the sauce, or is it the fresh toppings? We’ll let you decide, if you can.
El Cid’s

The Hitching Post – Ahwanee
(Directions) Get a great meal without breaking the bank. My family and friends love the Hitching Post. Their food is always good, the portions are large, the prices are great, and the customer service is friendly. The restaurant has a dive-bar feel which is part of it’s charm. Whenever family and friends come for a visit we take them to the Hitching Post either before our adventures into Yosemite or after. It has become a family ritual to grab a meal there as part of our Yosemite experience (Yelp Review) .
