About

Ducey's On the Lake and its casual counterpart, Ducey's Bar & Grill, serve steak, prime rib, and other American classics on the shore of Bass Lake, a short drive from Fish Camp and Yosemite's south entrance. Diners consistently praise the water views, rustic wood interior, and attentive service — reflected in a 4.4-star rating across 1,866 reviews.

What to expect

The menu leans meat-centric — think steak, prime rib, lobster, and scallops — alongside lighter options like a fresh apple salad. Reviewers single out the garlic fries and sweet potato fries with garlic aioli as worth the upgrade, and recommend asking for an outdoor or window table for the water view. The second-floor patio is a favorite spot for evening meals.

Husband and I came 3 years ago and loved the table with window view and we brought my family this year . I will say the steak had less seasoning and can use more cooking on the fat caps and the menu changed no more bacon scallops was a little sad but the salad, veggies and mashed potatoes were so good, my husband did say he didn’t really like the soup before the meal so he didn’t finish it.
