“ Had a good breakfast with family and an old friend. The meals were simple yet done well. I had the French toast breakfast, it was good. I ordered 2 pancake breakfasts to go and the kids ate them right up. Service was great, very friendly counter gal. Had plenty of syrup, napkins, and extra silverware. There was a lot of seating available, and the place was clean, and condiments readily available. There is a lot of nostalgia with this place for me personally, but you can't go wrong with a Pete's breakfast. Will be back. ”

“ Pete's Place Diner in Oakhurst: Stepping into Pete's Place Diner in Oakhurst feels like coming home. It's got that classic, no-frills diner vibe, and honestly, that's exactly what makes it so great, especially if you've got picky eaters in tow. The menu isn't overwhelming with a million options; it's straightforward and filled with all the comforting staples you'd expect. Think juicy burgers, crispy fries, fluffy pancakes, and hearty sandwiches. Simple doesn't mean boring when it comes to the food. Everything we ordered was cooked just right. My burger was perfectly grilled, still juicy in the middle, and the toppings were fresh and simple. The fries were golden brown and had that satisfying crunch. Even something as basic as hot dog for my little one was done well – perfectly cook dog between perfectly toasted bread. It's a relief to find a place where you don't have to navigate pages of exotic dishes to find something a picky eater will actually enjoy. Pete's Place focuses on getting the basics right, and they absolutely nail it. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is friendly and efficient. If you're looking for a dependable spot in Oakhurst with delicious, well-cooked comfort food and a menu that won't intimidate even the pickiest of eaters, Pete's Place Diner is a solid win. We'll definitely be back! ”

“ Date of visit: May 26, 2024 Order: Chicken Sandwich Combo with French Fries, 1/4 lb Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Rings Went here on the way out of Oakhurst Memorial Day weekend 2024 to grab lunch and immediately gave them brownie points in my mind coz I am a sucker for an old American diner style vibe, only the great part with Pete's, is that the staff is equally as courteous! Ordered a chicken sandwich with fries for my girlfriend and a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings for myself. The chicken sandwich was like what you'd expect a chicken sandwich to be -- nice, big filet, good spicy sauce, lightly toasted bun (I forget the veggies in there), all in all, a solid sandwich there. Moving on to the fries...now I realize a lot of this review is going to sound like I am exaggerating, but believe me, I ain't! The fries were a perfect golden blend of crisp, fried potato and JUST the right amount of salt -- not too less, not too much (which has been an all too common experience for me at basically every place lately). On to the main event: the Bacon Cheeseburger with Onion Rings -- I will get the onion rings out of the way, and on the way, deduct a couple points on this one; while the rings themselves very pretty good, good amount of crisp, not dripping with oil, good ratio of breading to onion, they did feel a tad too salty, unsure if it was the rings themselves or the ranch that made them feel so, but just something to note. But, the burger itself, hands down THE BEST CHEESEBURGER I've had in my life -- absolutely perfectly cooked bacon, laying on top of the most succulent medium well patty, makes me want to quote Marshal Ericsson from that one episode of How I Met Your Mother: 'Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it's so much more than 'just a burger.' I mean... that first bite-oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then... a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a... a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us in food.' To sum up, I don't know if it was the hospitality, the ambience, the fact that I was tired AF after driving 900 miles in 2 days or Pete just landed the best burger chef's on the planet, I am surely going to recommend my next friends' trip be to Yosemite with a stay at Oakhurst just so I can grab myself a few more meals at Pete'e Place.
