Happy Burger Diner - Mariposa, California

Found this place on the way back to San Francisco. The staff who took the order at the cashier’s area were not friendly at all, they acted as if they were in a factory and not in a restaurant. Did not explain the menu, and kind of angry with the customers. First impression was not pleasant at all. The food is freshly prepared, but the hamburgers had no flavor at all. Service is questionable, waitresses was in a hurry and after food was served we did not see her again. The place has ample sitting area and parking, it has a vintage look like a real Diner from the 80s. and has some really cool vibes. Prices are not reasonable for what you get, in my opinion they are overpriced. I probably would not return and not recommend, customer service for me is a must and priority to keep happy customers. They only accepted cash BTW which is very inconvenient too.

Such a fun restaurant to visit. We had both lunch and dinner on while staying nearby. The food was delicious and portions were very good. I couldn’t get over the size of the menu! Across the two meals, we ordered a burger, hot dogs, beef tacos, French dip, tomato soup, and various fries. The games are a fun way to pass the time and the album covers that line the walls and ceiling are fun to look at. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I ordered the garlic burguer, taste very good but the bread is not the correct one it looks like normal bread for a sandwich, but in general burguers looks very good, and big.
Prices for me are higher than other places around.

First time and everything was outstanding, we had the steak dinners with choices of 3 sides, we did garlic cheese bread, baked potatoes, and salad bar (Instead of fake bacon bits, they had REAL bacon 😳! Omg I want to go back just for that salad bar!). I had coffee and beer and my wife mimosas… All I can say is WOW! It was all phenomenal and the whole restaurant, bathrooms included were super clean, every single time a waiter or waitress passed they offered to refill my coffee, the staff was very friendly and welcoming, if I could give them 10 stars I would.

Steaks were perfect btw, we eat ours med-rare and they were perfectly med-rare. The chef before making our steaks asked if we wanted them “warm or mooing” we chose mooing and it was just absolutely perfect, hard sear, yet rare, masterfully prepared.

10/10

The sweetest people and the best food! We came when it was super busy and it took about 40 minutes for our food to be made, which we were told in advance, and it was soooo worth the wait. My advice for you, always say yes to their ranch, get the mint chip shake, and always trust their recommendations!!! We got the garlic burger and steak sandwich, so so so good and so happy we stopped here.

Came for dessert and we were blown away by huge portions 🍨 as well as the vintage record albums all over the walls and ceiling. Cool, 50s diner-esque, fun vibe for a small-town gem.

Staff was all mostly friendly, except for the girl bringing out the orders. She dripped ice cream all over my husband and just shrugged and said "yeah, it melts fast" as she walked away. Not a big deal, but odd she wouldn't offer to even clean up the now-sticky table...she's young so there's still time to learn 😀

Very fun vibe and the extensive menu was great for our party who all wanted something different as well as provided quite a few vegan/ vegetarian options.

I gotta say the place gives you a whole vibe of a real Diner, however there was an off point for us since waiters could have had a better more clean aspect and that drastically changed our perspective.
