We had lunch there on a cold day (it was snowing over the Tioga Pass mid-May) and enjoyed the roastbeef sandwich with one of the best BBQ-sauces I ever had.

Well, guess we REALLY like it because we ate here twice in one day! Lunch was at the tables outside with our faithful canine companions in attendance and at full attention. Every dish we ordered was scrumptious and they even brought a water bowl for our dogs. :) (We shared leftovers with them, too. Guess the doggie bag actually went... More

Got up feeling like eating a big, proper, delicious breakfast and this cafe ticket every box. The service was quick and friendly and my breakfast was reasonably priced, big and yummy!

Looking for a place to feed my teenage son, we found a delicious, quick dinner here the night before a ski race. The chicken Alfredo pasta with mushrooms, French onion soup and salad was just right! Creamy Alfredo, generous portions, lots of chicken and mushrooms...yum!

We had a great breakfast there. Hearty portions. Our waitress was hysterical and helped us get a discount by checking in on foursquare. Would definitely eat there again.

The food was good and the staff was really nice! It's a quaint little place with not much seating inside but there was also outside seating.

I met a colleague at noon for lunch, and had to wait for a table! It was off season, so we were surprised. We both had soup. My colleague reported that her onion soup was out of this world. My chicken noodle soup was luke warm, but flavorful. I'm not sure if reservations are accepted, but I would find out.... More

My wife and I spent a 5 day vacation in Mammoth during the last week of September. Had two of our dogs with us, and heard that this place was dog-friendly. The food was tasty, service was timely, and the prices very reasonable. We plan to come back to Mammoth the same time next year, and we will definitely go... More
