Tuolumne grill

Question

Hi just wondering if the Tuolumne Grill is open?

Thanks

Answer

The Tuolumne Meadows Grill (sometimes called “Tuolumne Grill”) is currently closed for the season.

Here are some more details to clarify the situation:

According to the National Park Service, the grill at Tuolumne Meadows operates *seasonally*, typically from mid-June through late September, depending on Tioga Road’s opening.
The Yosemite Guide (NPS) notes that Tuolumne services — including the grill — are closed outside of the high-season.
A trail-condition notice confirms that when Tioga Road is closed (typically in late fall through spring), there are “No services available” in that area.
Moreover, the Pacific Crest Trail Association reports that Tuolumne services, including the store and grill, have closed for the season.

If you're planning a trip:

Check the current Yosemite Guide (or the NPS website) for the *exact* opening dates for Tuolumne Meadows Grill, since seasonal dates can shift slightly.
Confirm whether Tioga Road is open — if it’s still closed for the season, you won’t be able to access the high-country services at Tuolumne Meadows.
If you're passing through during a time when the grill is closed, plan to bring food or stop earlier (or later) in the park for dining options.

Bottom line: No, the Tuolumne Grill is *not open right now* — it's a seasonal facility that reopens in summer when Tioga Road is accessible.
