Pre-Post eateries/meetup spots

Curious where everyone meets/eat on the way to Tahoe or Yosemite (or further out). Haven't found anywhere that seems to always have climbers outside of eastern hot springs.

We usually stop at bamboo garden in oakdale for yosemite.
Still looking for Tahoe

Priest Station Café - below Groveland
Divided Sky - Meyers, South Lake Tahoe
Strawberry Lodge - at Lover's Leap, Strawberry
