This place is a sleeper. Should be featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives. We had no idea what we were stepping into when staying in Mariposa on our trip to Yosemite, but this place was it. Although we had a limited selection from a huge menu, what we got did not disappoint. Having garlic bread as the bun of a burger (The garlic burger) is genius. The fries were crispy. The beer was cold. The atmosphere was a vibe. We did wait a bit for the food, but it was worth it.

What a truly authentic and delightful diner! It is so clear as soon as you enter that the owners put so much heart, soul and sincere thought into every part of the diner. From offering a10% discount to seniors 55+ and veterans, to every dish being cooked from scratch--they advise you that your food will take between 20-30 minutes to be served--but it is so worth the wait!! They use excellent quality ingredients--I had a Denver omelet and it had real fresh cut cubes of ham and green and red peppers, onions and two cheese. Absolutely delicious! The roasted potatoes were crispy and fresh and the sourdough toast was exceptional. Even the coffee was excellent. Finally, the service was awesome and the staff were super attentive and friendly. I will make a point of coming back many times to come! Thank you!

I ordered the 30yr anniversary special. Amazing burger, absolutely delicious. The woman who took my order was also very friendly despite a bit tired near the end of her shift

Came through town on our way to Yosemite. Had a lovely meal in the evening. The atmosphere was great and the menu extensive. Lots of options for the family. Food came out quickly considering they were busy. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely people. Super quick service. We had the pastrami burger and the garlic burger and they both were delicious! Portion was generous and included either fries or salad.

We decided to check this place out during our visit to Yosemite/auto camp stay near by. My kids and I enjoyed to local vibe and character of this restaurant. Food was great for diner standard. Hamburgers and onions rings were generous and not to be missed. Milk shakes were favorite of my kids. I had the fish taco. On the smaller side - only one taco per serving but I ended up getting two to make it a meal. The service can be slow so plan ahead - our order took about 40 min to come out - around 7 pm. Definitely recommend when visiting Mariposa area.

Such a fun restaurant to visit. We had both lunch and dinner on while staying nearby. The food was delicious and portions were very good. I couldn’t get over the size of the menu! Across the two meals, we ordered a burger, hot dogs, beef tacos, French dip, tomato soup, and various fries. The games are a fun way to pass the time and the album covers that line the walls and ceiling are fun to look at. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nice little retro diner with pretty good food. Decent burger and really lover the thick fries and ranch. Cute atmosphere and really nice staff. Big portions. Be prepared to spend at least $15 not including drinks.

OMG whataburger!!! I ordered the Happy Burger and I’m certainly happy. The soft Brioche bun is awesome. The patty is thick and juicy and the crispy crinkle fries were amazing. I will size down next time to a junior burger since I don’t each much. But if you’re hungry and looking for delicious food and shakes, check out Happy Burger.

On the way to Yosemite we were looking for a decent restaurant with an EV charger nearby. This area had one. Plugged in my car and walked a couple of minutes to have lunch here. The inside looked quaint and just like movies :-D We had ordered a sub sandwich (vegetarian) + salad, chicken ranch wrap + garlic fries + soda. The food tasted good. Veggie sub looked pale on the outside. Most likely it wasn't grilled on all sides. They have items clearly marked vegan and vegetarian. If you are strict vegetarian be sure to ask it at the counter as it seems all the vegetable oil is replaced with tallow (animal fat). Wasn't a fan of that but I didn't have any other option at that point. Overall it was a nice spot on the way to Yosemite and i may come back here again for a quiet meal while charging my car.

Order ahead unless you want to wait a long time. We've been waiting close to an hour and it's a Tuesday. By the time our food is done the drinks will be watered down.

Good food, they do tell you that your order will take 40 to 60 min and it did. Gave me time to enjoy my beer and watch sports

The Happy Burger Diner is a friendly small town establishment that I would suggest survives on tourist coming to and from Yosemite National Park. As such, their prices are really high and I found their food to be mediocre at best. My Reuben sandwich wasn't hot, the meat was tough and the bread fell apart. My cousin and I had 2 of those and 2 shakes + a tip totaling about $60. They try to be all things to all people which makes it harder to satisfy anyone. As I said, the service was great, but they could do better.

Neat little stop with friendly service. We got the happy burger with fries. Both were ok. Nothing outstanding. Average price.

Coming down from Yosemite today. I called in an order to pickup and was told it would be 30 min. By the time I came down it had been 20 min. I waited 20 more minutes in the parking lot for my food. Still no food, I went inside and they told me it would be another 15 min. Very very slow service. Not sure why they take so long to make two burgers and one order of fries. I did get my shake very quick, but food takes forever. Definitely not a FAST FOOD place if you need something quick on a road trip. I hope they can improve and I'll have to stop by when I have at least one hour to eat.

Found this place on the way back to San Francisco. The staff who took the order at the cashier’s area were not friendly at all, they acted as if they were in a factory and not in a restaurant. Did not explain the menu, and kind of angry with the customers. First impression was not pleasant at all. The food is freshly prepared, but the hamburgers had no flavor at all. Service is questionable, waitresses was in a hurry and after food was served we did not see her again. The place has ample sitting area and parking, it has a vintage look like a real Diner from the 80s. and has some really cool vibes. Prices are not reasonable for what you get, in my opinion they are overpriced. I probably would not return and not recommend, customer service for me is a must and priority to keep happy customers. They only accepted cash BTW which is very inconvenient too.

The food was actually really good — fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Unfortunately, Ashley didn’t match the quality of the meal. Ashley seemed irritated when we asked questions and responded with noticeable attitude. It made the experience feel uncomfortable. I’d return for the food, but I hope the customer service improves..
