Clingan's Junction Restaurant

Reviews & Tips

  So apparently there are a few different places that are being reviewed. For my understandings, what is at 35591 Kings Canyon Road is actually the address for Clingan's Coffee and Deli. I have met all of the staff here. The main employees seem to be a mother Shannon, and her daughter, though they are not the owners. The owner is this spunky fun lady, who's name I can't recall. I would have to give them 5 stars for being the only cafe, however, they lose a star for their coffee choice, old Farmer Brothers. I am going to try to convince them of picking up another distro for coffee sourcing though, so I have hope.
  It is a small quaint shop, and if you sit outside you can steal the wifi from the Valero across the street. Quality staff. Yet to try the food, though I hear from locals that it is sub par, but I have yet to try much other than some pastries they had given me, both of which I though were great. They even had fresh local grapes. Their schedule is a little flexible, and they close early often because of lack of traffic. I feel like if they were consistent, and had a better coffee distributor things here would turn themselves around only in the best of ways.

  Stopped by here for brunch after a few days of camping up in Sequoia and Kings Canyon.  It looks like it's called Hummingbird's now.  The restaurant decor is restaurant and really makes you feel like you're in a cozy country cabin.  There are many historical pictures and items to keep you distracted with thoughts of what it was like in the Wild West days while you wait for your food.  In the meantime, the staff is very attentive to making sure you constantly have coffee in your cup.  The food itself is very good; your typical quality breakfast & brunch fare thoughtfully made with fresh-tasting ingredients.  Who would've thought there'd be this awesome place so far out from civilization!

  Apparently the twin brothers who ran it for awhile are not there anymore. The food is still good.
  
  When we first came to Squaw Valley it was Hummingbirds Restaurant. Some reviews still list it as such.

  CJ's is formerly the Hummingbird, in which the new ownership occurred over the last year.
  
  My experience was a great surprise. The Chicken Marsala is 5 star & the 16oz Rib Eye is superb! Rate's as high as our local Bay Area steak house! My husband ate at CJ's over a month ago & kept it a secret...well word is out...while in Squaw Valley or going on the 180 to SNP or KC...you must stop & enjoy the wonderful mouth watering delights.
  
  CJ's owners bring the wonderful taste of the South, lots of love to their craft & the service is personable & very hospitable...yeah Liz!!!
