The Great Basin Cafe, was part of our lodging package at the Hidden Canyon Ranch. So we visited the cafe for breakfast before the start of our day of exploring the park in the morning. I have to say that there were plenty of options on their menu to satisfy the majority of peoples tastes. Out of three of us dining at the cafe over two days, we sampled 6 different entrees. All were satisfying and well seasoned. Portions were adequate for us, however, might be considered light for a hefty eater. Staff were very pleasant and fielded questions, and requests politely and promptly. Even though we received our breakfast options as part of our lodging package, the prices were very reasonable for our choices. Since you do have limits in regard to dining in this area, the option for in park dining that offers comfortable cost and lovely fare is quite a nice service to the visitors of this National Park. I have no doubt that any fare you chose at any time of the day at this cafe will be well prepared and pleasing to the palate........My only negative was the opening time....6:30 or 7AM would have allowed us an earlier start to our day in the Park.....They do a good job, folks!

We went in for a snack between hiking and going to the cave. We ended up with snacks, dinner, and souvenirs. We were surprised that the food is homemade, and cooked to order. Our son wanted a milkshake and when we heard the owner say that they had huckleberry shakes with real huckleberries, we had to get one. It was so yummy! I also had a peanut butter stuffed chocolate chip cookie. It was very tasty as well. We did get the adult-sized nachos. We didn't care for those. They tasted like ballpark nachos. Probably would have been better if we would have gotten more toppings. We got sandwiches to take with us for dinner later. We really enjoyed those too. I wish we would have had time to try the breakfast there.
The owner was very nice and helpful.
They had a nice selection of local made souvenirs and great shirts.

We met some friends here for lunch today. Having spent a fair amount of time in Baker off and on over the past five years, we were very pleasantly surprised by the food in the cafe. They were packed when we arrived and they announced immediately that it would be about a 35 minute wait for our order, giving us the option to go someplace else. We opted to stay. I had the smokehouse wrap with pork and a side of dill slaw. It was a bit salty for my tastes, but the food was fresh and well prepared. The slaw was especially tasty. The only critique is that we would have liked some water and after they took our drink order for iced tea and delivered it, they did not return to check on us. Very nice surprise from what most National Parks have to offer.

This is café is attached to the visitor center at the park. We went for breakfast two days in a row and it was excellent. We had the grilled cheese sandwich with an egg, which is made on homemade bread, and the hash browns, green chili and scrambled egg dish. Because we were pressed for time, we ordered two lunches to go: the BLTA and the pulled pork. The BLTA was good, but would have been much better had we been able to order it grilled and eaten it hot. The pulled pork was very good and the side of potato salad good as well. Prices are more than reasonable, especially considering this is a national park and remote at that. Food is made fresh to order, so it make take a little longer, especially when they’re busy. It’s a small operation, so cut them some slack.

There aren't a lot of choices in Baker and we were happy to find this place inside the national park and open! They have a varied menu and print out a new one for each person in view of the pandemic. I got the BLT and it came grilled on artisan bread and was excellent. Hubby enjoyed the chili dog. Service was quick and you can browse the little store while you wait. They have an amazing selection of games and t shirts.

We ordered ice cream. It was soft serve. A ten year old boy made it… and I’m pretty sure he had no clue what he was doing. It came out the shape of dog poop. The ice cream shaped like dog poop was $2.50. We also got a sundae for an extra dollar… this was made by the same boy, and looked like a stalactite. It was basically the same as the ice cream but with chocolate sauce on… definitely not worth the extra dollar.

We had no idea we would get such a scrumptuous lunch at a National Park eatery. The wrap was fresh and fries hot. My husband's chicken sandwich was also very good. The woman and man working were friendly and extremely efficient. I strongly recommend.

We have eaten here regularly for many years. We were saddened to see that the restaurant had deteriorated badly this year. Many items listed on the website menu were not available, the location was badly understaffed, and the chef kept disappearing on "breaks" (three times in less than an hour!) and had to be brought back to do his job. We hope this is just a glitch and not heading toward permanently closing the place.

We recently spent several days in Great Basing National Park and we loved this little Cafe next to the Lehman Cave visitor center. The food was excellent, the staff were super friendly, and they sold lots of great snacks and souveniers. We especially loved that they also sold board games as our family are big gamers.

There are few spots to eat in Baker, and the park cafe was a great surprise. Two of us had a salad and a wrap, both made to order with fresh ingredients. Hearty portions and fair prices. Good fresh ice tea too!

We visited in June of 2020 and had very little interaction with anyone while at GBNP but the 2 ladies at this little cafe were awesome. They were both very friendly and helpful while we ate and shopped with our 2 little boys. It is people like this that can help make trip memories. Thank you! We had breakfast there and everything was delicious and the shop was very nice. The only negative, although no fault of their own, is that they had very few tshirts because of covid they were unable to get restocked.

Great breakfast in the park! There are just a few tables inside and a few tables outside. The menu is pretty limited, so might not be great for picky eaters, but we had two of the Breakfast Grilled cheeses and one avocado toast. I’m telling you it was the best avocado toast I’ve ever had! My coffee was just OK. Nothing special. It has several cute little merchandise things in the shop. We would definitely recommend and go back

We came here for coffee after the cave tour. Service and coffee were very good. We came back next day for ice cream and it was the best. Soft serve. Creamy. Again, the service was friendly and fast. We did not eat a meal here but the food looked yummy and portions BIG.

I had no idea this existed when I planned our trip to Great Basin. After a cold morning and the cave tour the smells tempted us to try it and we are so glad! The food was amazing, nothing like the typical national park food. At first I was disappointed they were still serving breakfast as I am not a huge breakfast person, but this was perfect!

We thought the food was ok, but pretty good considering it’s connected to a National Park visitor center. I had the deluxe nachos, which I wouldn’t rank above average. My wife had the taco salad, which she thought was pretty decent.
