Fireplace, whiskey, and hearty Californian fare inside Oakhurst's Best Western
Oakhurst Grill & Whiskey 41 Lounge is the restaurant and cocktail lounge inside Oakhurst's Best Western hotel, and it's open to everyone, not just guests staying there. Diners describe a mountain-lodge feel: warm lighting, exposed wood, oil paintings on the walls, and a fireplace anchoring the lounge. It carries a 4.5-star rating across more than 2,300 reviews, making it one of the most consistently praised dinner spots in town.
The kitchen turns out traditional Californian fare, and regulars keep coming back for the same handful of dishes: Alaskan salmon, chicken Alfredo, fish and chips, Hawaiian kabobs, jambalaya pasta, and the Gateway Burger. The chicken and beet salad and the artichoke dip are popular starters, and service is reported as quick even on busy nights.
Call ahead at (559) 641-2477 — the dining room fills up fast on weekend evenings, and reviewers say it's worth the wait for a table with a view.

So there I was starving and sober. Came down from the natty park for some grub and drinks. I was not in any way disappointed or dissatisfied. The food was good and so was whiskey. It just felt like a tourist stop in a juxtaposition to the mountain scape. I'd go there again.

Food was delicious with good size portions. We had a party of 8 on a Fri night and only waited about 15 mins and food was out with great timing.
