Grant Grove Restaurant

Kings Canyon National Park

LoginSave

After undergoing a top-to-bottom renovation in 2017, this is the best place for a meal (albeit competition is limited) in Grant Grove Village. The new menu focuses on local produce and highlights seasonal dishes. Choose fresh local berries, organic granola, fair-trade coffee, San Joaquin Valley–raised eggs for breakfast, and California grass-fed beef for dinner. Service can be slow.

An indoor/outdoor deck and courtyard seating are available. The lodge was constructed using recycled materials from the old structure.
