I've stopped for dinner here a few times on the way back from Yosemite. The vibe of the place is classic and the patio at sunset is very nice.The menu has a surprising amount of vegetarian options for this kind of classic American restaurant, and the portions are generous.That said, the food is good but not great, and it comes out pretty slowly so bring a jacket.

2019: I had the savory crepes. I did not enjoy them, though I was told many people like them and order them often. They taste like they sound - they have onions, bacon (more like ham then bacon), and spinach (I think) with a cream sauce over them. People of pickier tastes should not order these. I didn't enjoy my husband's meal either: he ordered the sassy brisket. It was dry and boring. However, my husband had visited during a different trip and had the ham and brie - he said it was delicious. I will give it another try and update as needed.Feb, 2024: 5 years later, I'm finally updating this review. It took me 4 years to try Priest Cafe after that first experience. I heard the steak was pretty good, so I tried it out. I was not disappointed! They make a really good steak! It's under $40 (with tax), and it comes with a healthy (or unhealthy, depending on your point of view) side of fries, dinner salad, and a warm sourdough roll. So good! For about 5 months, I probably got that steak twice a month.Here is the sad part. I was in there one day getting a steak, and a girl, I'm not sure how she is related to the restaurant, mentioned an experience she had with another customer. She said there was a customer that would come in for food who gave them a bad review a few years back. The girl said she didn't confront the customer about it. She saw the name on the ticket, and it matched the name of the person who gave the review. She said something like, "Why would someone give a restaurant a bad review and eat there anyways?" I laughed it off, not realizing she was talking about me. I had to go out to my car, and when I got back, a few of them suddenly stopped whispering to each other.I haven't been back since. I can make a better steak at home. It's not worth being alienated. That same day, that girl yelled, "f$@k you!" to a guy who drove by yelling,"they've got cockroches!", so that restaurant appears to have quite a PR problem.Their hamburgers are boring, and their wine is expensive.I'm leaving my review at two stars. Good luck, Preist Cafe.
