First of all...much better than the Seasons Bistro.. I’m up here working on the Creek Fire and I didn’t know this place even existed ‘til week 2 of work. It’s AMAZING! The food is so so good, but arguably better is the atmosphere and ambiance. Such a beautiful hidden gem. I’m sort of hesitant to even bring attention to this perfect place in hopes of not exposing it to keep its home town family friendly vibe. Our awesome waitress was Samantha and she is nothing short of a perfect and friendly person to enhance your already perfect dinner. Highly recommeded. 💙

We had reservations for 7:00 and I’m glad we called in ahead of time, seating is super limited. The hostess was super frazzled and seemed a little overwhelmed and there really isn’t to many tables so I don’t get it but ok.. lol the staff was super friendly so that was cool to but the food just didn’t hit the mark. It wasn’t awful or anything but it wasn’t at all worth what we paid for it. We started out with the escargot and shrimp cocktail. I really don’t like the idea of putting snails in my mouth but the wife made me try it and it was ok haha. The shrimp cocktail was nothing special but not bad either. I ordered the ribs and they had a super limited number of sides to chose from so I settled for a baked potato and veggies and I don’t like baked potatoes unless they are covered in stuff and again they didn’t have anything to put on if except butter and sour cream cheese…. the ribs were basic and the bbq sauce wasn’t very good and didn’t pair with the ribs at all. My wife ordered the New York and didn’t finish it. I’m not saying don’t eat here because I know everyone has different tastes but this place just wasn’t for me, so I encourage you to go check ‘em out and have your own experience. Parking was alright but very limited and it was a little pricy for what is was.

The Pickled Deli - Fresno

I was intrigued by the "World Famous chunky bread" there was much more then that deliciousness that made the visit special. The crew was so nice and recommended some great things. The breakfast burrito was like it was home made. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy with a slight crisp. The ambiance was that of a mom and pop all about local feel. I highly recommend this place and am super glad I stopped in.Vegetarian options: Some choicesParking: Along the main traveling routeKid-friendliness: Lots of small bites and grab and go’s

Cozy, cabin-feeling. Came for dinner. Good food, nice staff and great service. Big portions, could not finish our meals. They are served with soup, salad and bread!

Restaurant in Small town of Shaver lake, very good food. Good servers. Only thing I didn't like is, waiters wasn't wearing no face masks.

We are locals and happy to have this restaurant nearby for a good meal. The decor is mountain rustic. The fireplace is made of white quartz rocks. Very unique. The place is heated with wood stove and the fireplace. The bar is a solid piece of sugar pine. Food is served up in ample portions on plates that are too small. The ribs are really good. Soups are tasty and welcome on chilly days. The only bad news is that it can be hard to get a reservation on busy tourist days.Parking: There are only 4 or 5 spots in front of the restaurant. They own the places across the street and there is plenty of parking there.

The food was horrible and very expensive. Almost spend 200 bucks and me and my family barely touched our food. If you want to spend a lot of money for no good food then go there.

Came here for breakfast with my family. Def never coming back, about 20 dollars for a plate, which is can be considered normal now a days, but when the bacon, eggs and potatoes are ALL burnt and taste like grease and came straight out a deep fryer. I would not recommend coming here.

1st.. cute little dining place.. server was very nice.2nd the food was not as good as expected. Eggs were over cooked. Steak was very small and potatoes were hard. For the price that we paid for it should of been better.

This was a disappointment. The food is usually good. The soup was delicious, a squash soup followed by a salad. Nothing special about the salad. Then came the entrée. I had the mesquite chicken, baked potato and squash medley. The baked potato seemed like it was microwaved for too long. It was dried out and hard. The chicken had no seasoning. Even with added salt the chicken was bland. The vegetable medley was bland. Overall the food was terribly expensive. It's only saving grace was the nice and attentive waitress.

Called to make reservation for 9 at 7 pm for that night. Was told they could not seat 9 at the same table til 8. I requested a table for 5 and a table for 4 at 7 pm and was told that would work. Upon arrival at 7 pm I was told the table for 4 would be available at 7:15 and the table for 5 at 8. I reminded the hostess what I'd been told and she said she'd see what could be done. We left after waiting 15 minutes. Very poorly managed restaurant!

Love their spinach salad! The dressing tastes phenomenal. Sadly their bottled dressing sells out so fast that we can't always take one home with us. Never had a bad meal here. Prime rib was wonderfully rare. Shrimp was cooked to perfection. Just such a great historical place that's warm and cozy.

My wife and I decided to enjoy a steak dinner at the Trading Post. The Rib Eye steak was cooked exactly how we requested medium rare for myself and rare for my wife the steak was delicious! The soup and salad was excellent. The atmosphere was rustic and cozy. Our waitress and the bartender were both friendly and professional. Thank you!

This exceed my expectations, the ambiance it's perfect for a cabin feel, the food was delicious and the service was amazing, our server was beyond helpful with such a good attitude and that makes a world of a difference! Definitely coming back when we visit Shaver Lake again!

Incredible ServiceHost made room even though we had no reservation. Server was more of a tour guide than a waitress. Gave Excellent recommendations and made sure we enjoyed every bite and sip of our meal. Had to sit outside b/c of COVID-19, but they have made the ambience festive while maintaining their top shelf feel. No visit to Shaver is complete without a visit to the Trading Post and Kelley's impeccable service with a smile.

Horrible food! I can’t believe how many good reviews this place has. Must be local support.We’ve been going to trading post for years and the food has gone way downhill. Started off with some table bread that was rock hard. Ribs were over cooked and soaked with plain bbq sauce. Calamari was awful. Ravioli sauce was darn near Mexican salsa and the pasta itself was hard. How can you mess up ravioli? Veggies were cold and smothered with salt. The only decent thing was our side salads.They try way too hard to be a 5 star fine dining restaurant. For the amount of money they charge they need to revisit the kitchen/menu and hire cooks that can cook. Sad because it used to be a good spot.You’ll be much happier staying home and making a frozen pizza.

The meal was well under par but the worst factor about the dinner-out was management. The manager was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful, we have never had an interaction like this in a dining environment. At one point, she projected to her employees, "come here, we are going to have a life lesson"... no words to describe how our party felt and the rest of the restaurant patrons. We would never think about going to this establishment again.

We had a lovely dinner with the family at the trading post. The serving sizes were too big so most of us opted to share a dish, which worked out nicely. The halibut was cooked perfectly and the spinach salad was delicious.

My Fiancé and I really enjoyed this place, the staff was so welcoming and helpful. We loved the scenery because it just reminded us of home ! So cozy and warm next to a fire place out side. Johnny was our waiter he was so sweet and honest , really made feel comfortable and even gave us a sample of sangria and beer ! His customer service was one of the best and his recommendations were perfect for our taste and appetite. We truly couldn't stop eating lol Thank You for your hospitality!

Shaver Lake jewel. We are 400 miles away in the Los Angeles area have eaten at many a fine dining establishment. My hubby and I rate this right up there with the best of the best.The Rib Eye Steak was perfect! The Spinach Salad and their dressing perfection! The Minestone Soup amount the most flavorful we have tasted. The rack of Lamb superb. This is a must to seek out.Granted it is in a cute mountain type building cleverly decorated small with approximately 12 or so tables I would highly recommend reservations. On a weekend early if you live Prime Rib it sells out fast evidently! The Manhattan I ordered was mixed perfect.I do not understand some of the reviews this place is 5 star in their food! Will definitely plan to travel this way again in my future road adventures. Wanted to give a high recommendation for others planning a trip to or through Shaver Lake.

First of all, let me say our food and the wait staff were very good. However, during our wait for the food, one of the cooks yelled at my 9 year old daughter who was exploring with her 1 year old cousin outside the restaurant in a public space next door. She was visibly upset by the encounter and it kinda ruined our meal. We come up to Shaver several times each year, but don't think we'll be going back there.
