Had a chance to visit South Gate Brewing Company on our last day of a Yosemite trip. I'm so glad we did. They have a large selection of beer made in the facility and the food was amazing. The brussel sprouts were out of this world. The Mountaineer pizza is amazing with a perfect crust. The fish and chips is excellent with perfect fries. I highly recommend any of these dishes.

This is our first time to Yosemite, and I asked for a recommendation for dinner. We were totally not disappointed! The South Gate Brewing company has a fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious fresh, locally brewed beer. On top of all this, the menu has a wide array of possibilities. The food was extremely flavorful. I would definitely make this a stop while in the Yosemite area!!

Located in the first town outside of Kings Canyon. It's just off the main highway. Local brewery with freshly prepared food. The beer is very good. I was just passing through town so only tried 2 different ones.

Delicious food and beers at Southgate brewing Company! One of our best meals in Yosemite. The burger was very flavorful. We also tried the fried Brussels that were delicious. Great service and our locally brewed beers topped off our great day of hiking. Would return! There were some flies hanging around and one fryers was down but we were able to order everything we wanted. Great dinner.

Had called on a Saturday night to make sure they could accommodate my allergies. We arrived 90 minutes later and they were full for the night for walk up. We came back Sunday. Called for reservations once we knew what time we could get here. Reservations were booked but we joined the walk up list. So glad we came back to try again. The service and food were excellent. Wish they could ship to the east coast. The beers are well worth stopping in. The staff are all friendly! Our server was attentive and even other staff would stop by and check in. All of our meals were delicious. Wish we had more time to try more. If we are ever back in this area we would definitely eat here again no questions asked. Entire family enjoyed our meal here. Thank you to all the staff and we hope to come back some day. Even better if you start shipping please let us know.

This was our second or third time stopping in for lunch at South Gate Brewing. We came in at lunch and had no issue getting a table. We asked about outside but outside seating does not have a waitstaff - you order at the bar. We opted for inside as we were going to have lunch. The drink/beer menu was fantastic - they definitely have something for everyone! We tried the brussels as a starter and they were very good - nice and crispy with a lovely drizzle on top (just a hint of sweetness). My daughter had the fish and chips while I ordered the Cali-Tacos (cauliflower). I am not a vegan or vegetarian but wanted something a bit different and these did NOT disappoint. They were so good and there were three so a GOOD portion of food. Service was very attentive and again, great food and drinks! We will continue to come back each summer when we come to Oakhurst/Bass Lake.

Great selection of beers! They have a dog friendly outside seating area, that we liked. I had the fish tacos special and it was delicious....three large tacos with plenty of fish and a very nice salsa Verde. I would absolutely buy them again. Great place to stop for a cold micro brew and some excellent food.

Ordered burgers, one smash and the other regular, both were pretty good, but not memorable. The fries were very good and the sweet potato fries were down right awesome. Where the burgers lacked notoriety, the service made up for it. The outdoor patio was excellent and dog friendly. Overall a positive experience. If we did not have our dog, I might find another place to try.
