Happy Burger Diner - Mariposa

Great place to dine. Good selection of your typical diner fair and really nice folks.

This establishment served the most delectable garlic burger and garlic fries I've ever encountered! Our visit on a Friday afternoon, between 12-1pm, was pleasantly uncrowded. The staff, particularly the lady who took our order, shared our passion for all things garlic and recommended their exceptional garlic fries. Her hospitality shone through as she even offered us a pitcher of water to combat the scorching weather. To our amazement, the portions of both the burger and fries were incredibly generous. The burger patties were juicy and packed with flavor. Without a doubt, these garlic fries rank as the best I've ever had. It was such a truly delightful dining experience that we returned the next two days during our stay in Mariposa.

Our food was so good! We had the beyond burger with vegan cheese on a vegan bun... yum yum yum! So many vegan options on the menu, which was very clearly labeled! Loved it! Can’t wait to be back!

Happy Burger Diner is a very welcome option when headed to Yosemite. It has multiple clearly labeled vegan options. They were promoting their new menu options for Vegan Dog and Vegan Nachos! Now vegan dog didn 't surprise me but vegan nachos?! That seemed surprising. I had to give that a try, along with the dog of course. Huge plate of nachos which were somothered in enchilada sauce, guac and salsa. Both dog and nachos were very good.

I really liked the retro style of this dinner and it’s amazing to have so many vegan options in this rural area. Yet, the waitress informed us that all food, vegan as well as meat, is fried in the same oil, therefore you have to decide yourself if this is vegan or not. I opted for the portobello burger since the mushrooms aren’t deep fried with any other food and it tasted good, even though it’s more a sandwich than a burger.
