Maybe a silly question, and I'm just trying to save time instead of looking it up ...
but is that on the way from San Francisco? Will I pass it while driving to Yosemite? (It's been 8 years since last I made that drive).

Do you think that for those of us driving up late night from the Bay (ie: stuck in traffic getting out of here) that we can call in an order and they can leave it out front for us :) 8p closing is too early!

Thanks chris and all of you for the positive comments and good wishes. In the second to last image the young girl with the braids in my grandmother (now deceased) and the last image is my aunt Anne, my dad Wally (holding a stick of wood) looking up to his grandfather Dan Corcoran.
Much as I wish I was there I'm in Montana with Jenni and the boys. I do get by twice a year and to get after the Capitan.
If you forget your super topo guide book Steve and Denise have them in stock. Hopefully we'll have tape and chalk in the near future.

With Priest Station now re-opening, Mountain Sage as a regional hang, and the Iron Door, I'm getting the feeling that the Hwy 120 corridor/Groveland area is entering a Renaissance period of sorts. Unlike Timid, I used to sometimes stop at the top of the grade to let my vanagon rest a while. Now I'll know to simply plan on a full pit stop at the cafe.

Jaybro, Em and I stopped by here this morning on our way out of the Valley. It was around 9am-ish as we pulled in.
We were greeted warmly even though they don't officially open until 11am. Jay and Em loved the freshly made muffins and we all loved the coffee.
Being winsome helped us to score some of the best scrambled eggs ever, and we sat outside and enjoyed our coffee enjoying the deck which offers a spectacular view. They don't really offer breakfast but our charm and saying we were climbers means something here. Em bought Conrad's book- I read the intro and can't wait to read it. sorry, thread drift although climbing related...
Anyway- stop by, they've done great with the place!

Brian: on your way from SFO, you'll be headed on 120 East (via San Mateo Bridge & 580). A few miles after you cross the bridge along the Don Pedro reservoir, and just past the sign to Mariposa, turn right onto Old Priest Grade. (With your rental car whining in low gear, you imagine what it would be like to ride your bicycle up that hill right now. And you're glad you're driving.) At the top of the hill is where it is. I look forward to checking it out.

Hi ... Thanks Chris for posting pictures and our menu! This weekend we got quite a few visitors coming in saying they heard about us on SuperTopo. We have a few SuperTopo books, and I'm happy to say (Chris you will be happy to hear this) that lots of people are checking them out, and some even buy. So we plan to stock more of them. We get lots of retirees visiting our place and I think those climbing shots on the cover make our ambiance just that much cooler and sexier!
I just need to make one correction to your nice notice Chris: my brother Steven and I are not the owners! Conrad, my sister Kim and my parents Wally and Helga are the owners. Steven and I are the sweat equity component of this family venture, working at the restaurant on a daily basis. Our Mom Helga does the baking.
We are holding an event on Saturday October 10th and (I think) Conrad, Max, Sam and Isaac will be there. It's our "official" opening event and the theme is Oktoberfest, as a nod to our German heritage. We hope to have our beer and wine license by then, so stop by that weekend to enjoy a cool one on the deck.

Steve, Conrad's brother here.
Thanks for the kind comments, we appreciate and need your business! If you are coming in late (or early) give a call and may be able to cook you up a meal. Or stop in if the gate is open and ask nicely. Denise, mom or me are usually in baking, mopping or loafing. In a wee bit we will have the cabins good to go and we have been known to let friendly folks pitch a tent. There is a bit of vegetarian food, veggie burgers (delicious with bacon,) salads, grilled cheese and a veggie sandwich - not all on the menu. We try to accommodate all tastes as we have all types of people stopping. Only food can unite SF liberals, rednecks, Hindus, Muslims, and Boy Scouts visiting from around the world. Never dull and people can in fact get along.
Free beer today (Oct 10) served by Conrad on our grand Oktoberfest opening.
Priest is a special spot and it is an honor to continue the work of our ancestors started 160 years ago.
Peace, Steve

I stopped their twice last weekend on my way through. I cant recommend the sweet potato fries and kind staff enough. In fact on my way through on Saturday Conrad Anker happened to be there and he joined me as I had my (complimentary!) beer, just because I told his sister in law that I had heard about it on Super-topo and was a climber.
Great folks, great food, and stunning location. Will always stop there from now on.
Many thanks to Anker family for re-opening,
Zander

Finally stopped by the cafe tonight. Steve and Denise were great. Sat on the deck and watched a beautiful sunset unfold as we ate burgers, sweet potato fries, and sipped a Heineken. Looking down the grade I realized we were sitting at the brink. Life is slower up on that hill. Once you drive down, you're headed back into the rat race of life. You gotta eat, and might as well keep the money in the family. So a new tradition is born. With the Mobile to the East and PSC to the West, 120 has good eats end to end. I'll try to stop in on each trip and support this endeavor.

I absolutly love the re-done Priest Station cafe. Hillary and I order out there all the time, when we have some time we like to sit on the deck and watch people. The food is great and the service is great. What a great place to stop before going down the long stretch of emptiness called the highway. Since I am a little biased about our town Groveland, I always tell people to stop in Groveland. There isnt really much else in a long way. Being the owner of Mountain Sage Coffee, I encourage people to hang out in Groveland. It is a great place to exchange beta, meet your partners, and who knows who you might meet in town. Dont forget the new Hostel. Oh yeah sorry about the man hating posters in the bathroom. It was my idea but not my intention to man hate...Just to spark a little responsibility in those who werent fortunate to be raised by our mothers sisters...etc. I was just tired of cleaning the bathroom, but thats my job:) Anyways it will be clean when you get here, and I will help you find your favorite new climbing area.

We stopped in on Sunday night, good book selection too. I love California history books, and it was nice to have the supertopos nearby during dinner climbing discussions. Really nice service and great food, coming from the valley we were turned away at two other food stops which were closing early on Sunday night, but not and the Priest Station...I will be returning...

Stopped in last week for a cup of coffee on my way from home over to Angels Camp for a cup of coffee. I had a dollar in cash and my debit card. $2 for coffee and a $5 min. for debit card purchases. Asked where I lived (the valley) and told me to catch him on the way back. (not many people do THAT anymore) Stopped back thru on my way home a few days later, settled up for the coffee, got another and a breakfast sandwich. Super awesome and not a bad view!

"Priest Station was established by the descendants of the current owners, the Anker Family, in 1853"
This sounds like a WONDERFUL restaurant, with interesting and creative owners. But how, may I ask, could the descendants of the current owners have established the place in 1853? Apparently they not only have great taste in restaurants, but are time travelers to boot! Rock ON!!!

Thanks for the positive feedback and support for Priest Station. The restaurant continues to chug along. My bother and sister run the place and my mom does the baking and accounting.
This image is from the grand opening in 2009. My father Wally (in the tie dye overalls) passed away on April 22 2010. This was his life goal - get the restaurant up and going.
The business phone # is 209 962 1888. Call ahead orders would be great. If you called at the 108 junction (last spot before cellie goes spotty) Steve would have your order ready.
Log book is a leather deal-io on the counter.

the place turned out really nice. a california version of the sort of small places you find all over the alps. good, basic fresh food.
and i eat a lot of rice & lentils at home, so tend to go for other stuff when i eat out. it's actually sort of nice to find some fried food and red meat at a restaurant that doesn't make me feel queasy afterward, so i don't see myself giving up on the homemade potato chips anytime soon.

They've upgraded their cook, & menu. They were already the best place between San Francisco and the Mobile in Lee Vining!
Must be awesome now.
They've also got rooms to rent at a decent price. Not that any Real Climber would admit to staying there for a night, but you can recommend them to your Granny.

Hey Conrad hope all is great with you and yours!
I love that place! A great burger and sweet potato fries has become a key part of a bizarre routine I will do for the third time this February. I race in the Glacier Point Skate Race, a 35k awesome mini-marathon, from Badger Pass to the Point and back, few of the Tahoe crew make it down, so I usually win place or show...Then I bid a hurried good-bye and thank you to the race organizer, Dave Bengston and the next leg of my race begins as I must get to San Rafael by 4:00pm to meet 14 high school students load them up in 2 vans, and drive to Humboldt County for the beginning of my 6 day Adventures in Restoration Course - Salmon Habitat Restoration in the Mattole Watershed, kayaking the Eel river, climbing at Carruthers Cove, hiking Fern Canyon...
The key practice that I know makes it all possible, is that I call from Groveland, place my order with Conrad nice brother, my recovery protein blast tasty burger is waiting when I pull in, I rush out, take a few big bites in the lot, and pull it out again on the flats after descending the Priest Grade. I make it to San Rafael on time, don't make a big deal about having just skied a big race that morning to the parents who are putting their kids in my care for the week.
The good food at the right time at Priest Station keeps me going all evening, plus the teenage chatter, hip-hop tunes, and a bit of coffee, and we pull into our first nights lodging in Garberville by 9:00pm. Whew!

Thanks Peter. Sounds like a wild adventure. If you ever need a space to pitch your tents let us know.
I think most of us know the climb - the climber is a mystery. I was noodling around in the photo archives and found the image from 2005. We met in the C4 parking lot and he was a super awesome fellow. I don't remember who he is!

Life has changed me into HWY 41 entrance guy for now, but I always swing in for a jalapeno burger when logistics take me out towards Priest Grade. Great place.

Forgot to chime in on this last August. Killer burger on the way back from the Meadows after 4 days. Needed a lift for the foggy eyed drive home and had an endless glass of Pepsi. Good folks, must stop.

Stopped by for lunch AND dinner on Sat.
Good food & very friendly staff! I had the Bratwurst (umm the red cabbage :9 ) and my friend had the shroom burger (it's HUGE) with sweet potato fries - lots of food...
Dinner: both had jambalaya - one ordered the three-course (so we could share :) and one ordered entrée. I'm usually a gumbo person but boy.. that jambalaya was delicious! ...didn't think I'd finish it because it was a lot; I ended up cleaning the bowl! Loved the salad - those sweet and very juicy slices of pear was the key... Simple and yet unforgettable. Also they gave us a bigger slice of the pumpkin pie so we could share - so nice!!! Thank you. ~_~ And did I mention the freshly squeezed lemonade? :9~~~
