About

Bodie Mike's is a barbecue-and-burger stop right on Highway 395 in Lee Vining, an easy pull-off for travelers heading to or from Yosemite's Tioga Pass entrance or Mono Lake. There's indoor seating and a patio, and the kitchen turns out ribs, burgers, tri-tip sandwiches, and pie.

What to Order

The baby back ribs are the standout — reviewers describe a full rack as tender enough for two people to share, and the apple pie gets called out for dessert. Burgers are the more consistent choice on a given visit; the tri-tip sandwich and chicken tenders draw mixed reactions, with some diners finding them underseasoned.

Good to Know

Service is the one thing reviewers agree on almost across the board — quick seating, attentive check-ins, and friendly staff, even when opinions on the food itself vary. At 3.9 stars across 289 reviews, expect straightforward comfort food and a fast, welcoming stop rather than a fine-dining detour — a solid call for a travel-day lunch or dinner before or after a day in the park.

This is a BBQ restaurant! The bad reviews seem to be complaining about mediocre burgers and steaks. I tried the beef rib BBQ plate and it was great. The $30+ price for beef ribs was reasonable compared to BBQ restaurants in Texas. It comes with unlimited salad bar and soup.
