I’m a beginner skier and this was the perfect place to brake me in. Great experience! Super expensive skiing here though so I don’t see myself doing it too often. But, it’s a great town with a fun mountain. (Would be five stars if not for the cost).

One of the greatest spots you'll ever go to. Many areas to explore and the mountain is so big that you will never get bored. All the stuff were nice and accommodating.. you can go biking, is electric biking and snow mobiling.

Mammoth Mountain is an incredible destination for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The terrain is vast, with a great mix of groomed runs, challenging bowls, and fun park features. The lifts are modern and efficient, minimizing wait times even on busy weekends. I especially loved the variety of runs off Chair 23 and the stunning views from the summit — truly breathtaking. The snow conditions during my visit were excellent, with fresh powder and well-maintained trails. The resort is also very well-organized, with friendly staff and a good selection of dining options on the mountain. Whether you’re here for a weekend trip or a longer stay, Mammoth has something for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier California mountain experience.

We have an annual trip to the mammoth area to go off-roading in the back roads. Who drive into town to hit Mammoth Brewing get a burger another nice place. We have camped in Glass Creek Campground the past 2 years a nice area and great campsites

April 29, 2025: My first time skiing at Mammoth Mountain was my shortest ski day ever. I was shocked to learn last night that during this late-spring season, lifts open at the insanely early time of 7:30 a.m. (instead of normal 8:30, still way too early) and close at the obscenely early hour of 2 p.m.! (instead of normal 4:00; except for Chair 6, which stays open until 3 p.m.). 😲😲😡 I didn't get skis on until 12:39 p.m. (not a morning person). There was thunder as 2:00 neared -- first time I can ever recall hearing booms while skiing. When I got to Chair 1 at 1:57 for my last run off that area's terrain, I was stunned to see it already closed. Employees said all lifts closed early due to lightning in the area (I never saw any). Unbelievable. Time on skis = a record low of 1:18. I skied (likely also a record low) 7.3 miles today. The only precipitation while I was on the mountain was a little sleet before the thunder began. Lifts should run 9:30 or 10:00 to 4:30 or later. I've never been to a ski mountain in my entire life where they stopped at 2:00 p.m. (or anytime before 4:00 for that matter).

Glorious mountains, ski area and scenic views of several 3000m and 4000m snow capped peaks. It's a great destination for late spring/early summer skiers across California and Nevada thanks to the incredible elevations and north facing runs. Great place also for a day trip in the hearth of the beautiful mountains of Sierra Nevada. Very highly recommended for everyone!!!

HUGE mountain and fun for all skill levels. This place will def kick up your skill level. Don’t forget to pickup your Mammoth sticker to slap on your board/helmet/vehicle. Cheers

Amazing views around sunset and no hike required, as parking is right there next to the lookout point. Parking can be tough though as it’s crowded, and it’s really cold due to the high elevation, even during July.

I’m giving it a 5 because I think the views are normally stunning. They were still good a few days ago. But this area is experiencing smoke haze from the fires to the west and southwest. So it’s not the best time to see the mountain ranges. There are pit toilets but they smell to high heaven!

Amazing spot for sunsets! I have been here twice. Once in later September and once beginning of October (pics with snow from October visit). Pretty chilly and fairly windy at sunset. Decent amount of parking. Both time I got to parking lot like 20 to 25 mins before sunset. I could see parking being an issue in summer when it is more crowded in Mammoth. Great scenery to both west and east.

This vista is a great spot to watch both the sunrise and sunset. We went earlier this month for the sun rise and it was chilly. Make sure to wear warm clothes. There are picnic tables were you can enjoy your snacks and parking spaces right where you can see the mountain views. Take your time and just enjoy the view. You'll surely appreciate the beauty around you while you're there. Highly recommended!

Great stargazing spor. Go when there is no moon. We were there the night of the fall supermoon. We saw 3 shooting stars! Sunset is amazing. Best spot on Mammoth for sunset and stargazing.

Awesome view, just get out of your car and look. Picknick table behind the pit toilet.

sunset at Minaret Vista — even higher than Half Dome (8,839 ft)! The thin mountain air made the colors pop, unforgettable

Cool fissure but clearly whoever manages the place doesn't care. The fences around the walking path by the fissure has SIGNIFICANT portions down allowing anyone, especially a curious kid, potentially go right into the fissure. The maintenance is absolutely abysmal. There are no informational signs whatsoever. It looks like they started to make it ADA compliant and then changed their mind. It looks very neglected.

Really cool spot if you’re into geology or just want to see something unique. There’s a small parking lot that holds about 10 cars, plus picnic tables and restrooms. It’s just west of Highway 203. Even though it’s called the “Earthquake Fault,” it’s actually a dramatic fissure, about 10 feet wide and nearly 60 feet deep. The trail is short and fenced in, but at some points you can cross the crack and snap some great photos. Best times to visit are early morning or late evening for the lighting.

Went here early October a couple years back. As seen in pics, it had already snowed. The pictures don't really do the place justice. Much better in person. Quite interesting to see the impacts of a distant earthquake. I went on a weekday and had no issues with parking. In summer and/or on weekends I could see parking being decently challenging. The fault is right close to the parking. I think I stayed like 15-30 mins, which seemed like plenty of time.

We went early in the morning after the sun had risen. We were the second car in the parking area so it was nice and quite. Being there and seeing this earthquake fault in person was very interesting. We don't recommend going there with kids unless they're responsible enough to take the trail safely. You can easily spend hours there exploring, relaxing, and just enjoying the hike as you may encounter some wild animals like squirrels, chipmunks, and a coyote as we did.

Really interesting the damage (and re-architecture) earthquakes do to the land. It kinda looks like the caretakers of the park are now using the fault as a place to throw in downed trees and cuttings. But it’s an interesting place.

Intersting geological area. Becar3full of the gained cables though. Some if the hood posts are broken off.

Very neat place to see. Very massive section. Has picnic benches, not an easy walk for some.

Shout to ERIC!! Great service and even better recommendations. My brother and I just finished a day of fishing and was ready to eat! We asked Eric what he recommended and we went with it. Did not disappoint! We had the Lamb and Steak specials. yummy! Also with Old Fashion and Manhattan. Great portions. Unfortunately no room for desert. :). next time!

Staff was extremely kind and positive energy. Food was amazing, large portion sizes. When I asked about gluten free, the waitress took the time to ask if it was due to Celiac since they would have to prepare it differently.

We had a great dining experience thanks to our server Anna and her suggestions. We started with the Caesar salad and the soup of the day, which was cream of mushroom. I had the buffalo meatloaf, which was fantastic while my wife had to New York strip which she also enjoyed. Watched a little of the World Series while we were eating our dinner and a sports themed baseball dining room. Got the carrot cake to go cause we’re too full after having such a wonderful meal.

Great service. Price is high but the portion is big and the flavor is great too. There are not a lot of choices in the menu but there is still plenty of meats or seafood to choose from. The restaurant is decorated with baseball scenes and has a relaxed atmosphere.

Very nice place in Mammoth. We were greeted right away and sat at the table of our choice. Everyone in the staff was very friendly and everyone had a smile. Anna assisted us today and she was great. The other staff was also amazing. Everyone was very attentive, but not excessive. The food was great. We had a party of 5 with a kiddo and everyone loved their meals. Dessert was delicious and completed the meal. Definitely a place to come when visiting for us non locals.

Very nice Restaurant with insanely tasty food. We ordered Fish and Chips and the ‚Taquitos‘. Both meals tasted great. The service was very friendly. We came 30 minutes before closing and they welcomed us and offered us their hospitality in a great way.

Wish I took a photo of the food but it was too good to wait! We had the Ahi Tuna small plate a fish and chips. Both great! Ahi Tuna had great seasoning and sauce. Fish and chips was perfectly battered and a generous portion. Shoutout to our server Brian who was super attentive and warm. The owner has great energy and the place is super personable. Loved every second. Bonus: they have super cool fire pit tables outside.

This place was really good. Plenty of seating indoors and out. The outdoor area lights at night look great. Enjoyed the falafel tacos and veggie burger with side waffle fries. Both good and love rat they had options for non meat eaters. The non alcoholic tap root beer was perfect amount of sweetness with a natural taste. Recommend. Good service too.

A very unique experience. First of all, if you sit outside, you place your order online through your phone — very modern, and honestly I think it’s a smart way to lighten the load for the staff. That said, the prices feel a bit high for a place where you seat yourself, place your own order without staff interaction, and pay upfront (I’ll never understand how I’m supposed to leave a tip for service that hasn’t even been provided yet). As for the food: the pizza was on the small side — definitely not enough to fill up a hungry guy on its own. But to be fair, it was delicious, no doubt about that. Now, the beer? Absolutely amazing — truly some of the best I’ve had in the state. That alone makes this spot worth checking out. I’d recommend this place for the great outdoor vibe, excellent beer, and tasty pizza. Just keep in mind it’s more of a place for a light bite rather than a full meal.

Drinks: The root beer is hands down the best thing to drink here. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who likes root beer. Golden Trout Kolsch is a smooth blonde. Love the taste. Contains German noble hops? Pilsner malt, and yeast. Great beer to just chill with. Mammoth Pilsner was good. Can't really taste the honey or Graham crackers, though. The floral definitely helps give it that unique taste. Yosemite Pale Ale was not my favorite of the flights. A little too strong in taste for me. Double Nut Brown Porter was good. The coffee and nutty taste compliments each other and stands out enough to enjoy. Great to consume with food. Epic IPA is a good IPA. Don't really taste the fruit, but it is smooth to drink. IPA 395 taste better than the Epic IPA. The earthy taste is very unique and refreshing to drink. The sage is very prominent in the taste. Hop Spill Hazy is a good IPA. Probably the best IPA here if you are fan of IPA. Peyton's pilsner tropical flavor is subtle but good. Food: The waffle fries here are pretty good when it's fresh. They were able to replaced the bad batch. Worth trying the fries. Staff: All the staffs were nice and friendly. Very helpful with providing information. Overall, I would come back here to try other things. They have the games playing on the televisions. Plenty of seats as well.

First off: this place ain't cheap! Secondly: they definitely get the food right. The onion rings were terrific with a cornmeal crust. Nice and crunchy like they're supposed to be. The fish and chips again is not cheap but it is real deal fresh fried cod and comes out hot and tasty and crispy and the tartar sauce is definitely worth a shot. We also got the shrimp appetizer which was surprisingly good and not rubbery or any of the other stuff people get away with... This place is definitely worth a stop!

I was so looking forward to going to this brewery because I love their beer. But I was totally disappointed when I was seated at a table and given a plaque with a QR code to order food with my phone. Then you have to pay on your phone to complete your food order, and are then prompted to leave a 20% tip! Tip for what? No Service what so ever! You then have to get up, stand in line to order a beer, and carry it back to your table, and they want a tip for that, too! What is happening in this world when everyone expects a tip for no service?

Pleasantly surprised they were pretty good. Got the beer flight it was massive, more than 50% were pretty good & the staff was nice about switching out an IPA for a different local beer for no extra cost. We went with the birria tacos & spicy shrimp both were pretty tasty.

Really love this place! Maybe my favorite in Mammoth. We ordered the BBQ chicken flatbread, cheese flatbread and brussel sprouts salad. It was a lot of food and so yummy! The kids loved the root beer and my husband and I enjoyed the pilsner beer. I want to come back to try more beers and food. Tip: there's a pool table downstairs. We had a fun family game after dinner.

Had a great time watching the skiers The gondola up to the lodge was amazing as we went over some homes. Beautiful scenery, there is a Starbucks at the lodge great hot chocolate.

Well, Mammoth is exquisite. As a skiing noob, canyon is my go-to. The green lifts there deliver entry level skiers into a most marvelous wonderland. And the lodge itself is fabulous. All the services. Great staff. Decent bar food. Capacity. Much superior to eagle, although I love the skiing at eagle -- but that lodge sucks. Highly recommended.

Large modern ski lodge. Escalators come down to the parking lot, which is very nice and ski boots. Bathrooms on all floors except where the cafeteria is, #Fail. Gets pretty crowded around lunchtime, no microwave, go to McCoy or Main for a microwave oven use. Great after skiing apré DJs

This is my usual starting point at mammoth, the late out is easy to follow and there is lots of room for the crowds. The store has lots of good items. Best of all the new chair lift is awesome .

Love coming to the lodge. It was modernized and the escalators make a big difference. Lots of options for ski/snowboarding. Rentals, tuneup, store, cafee and a great bar, plus there is a good restaurant on the top floor.

We tried to bring food to reheat but there was no microwave available. Better yet the grizzly Cafe was closed so the only place to get food was the coffee stand. Two cold pieces of pizza later, not too happy.

Parking is a bit$h. Find a convenient bus (free) stop where you're staying, bring your equipment to the first floor and store it for $4-5 the night before you start (come after 3) and every day you're enjoying the slopes. Unfortunately they (whoever they are) have reassigned a lot of the token lockers to long term tenants so this may not work for you. Check other reviews for timely info. But really, the bus (free) is the way to go, especially if you're not efficient at putting on chains after that dump you chased. 😉

Fabulous time here today! About 20 of us! A great time had by all! Nice spring conditions. Tails were groomed well. Lifts moved fast. Such an epic day!

Great place to stay, rooms are well kept and clean. Lots of lifts within walking distance of lodge and a couple down the road. A nice restaurant and general store inside. Heated pool and spa as well. Very friendly and polite staff

Great place to for spring skiing! No lines and a lots of different levels of terrain !

I've been coming to Mammoth in winter and summer as a small child. The mountain has amazing scenery and great snow. I highly recommend a visit for anyone that hasn't been. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is because of what they have done with the Ikon pass. It is no longer fun to go during the weekend, it's just way to over crowded and your stuck waiting in line more than on the slopes unless you have a black pass. That said, mid week it's empty and a great time

Great ski resort! Went in late January and mid June and had a blast both times, never thought I’d be able to ski in the summer! The views are amazing and it has plenty of terrain for all rider levels.

Great in both winter and summer! So much to do...trails, waterfalls, boating, skiing, hot springs 😀

Best skiing resort in California as far as I'm concerned! This place is MASSIVE and it has something for everyone, whether you're looking for super steep terrain, trees, or beginner runs. It has one of the longest ski seasons in the nation as well! Check out the apres scene at Canyon Lodge after your day.

We went to this center to get some advice about the lakes around here. There was an Australian accent 50+ years old staff who was very rude and did want to help. She tried to answer no more than a few words of our questions and gave no further response for any details we needed to know. Her facial expression was “get out and don’t come back!” The second female staff, a blonde about 40 years old also had the same attitude: “ don’t bother me, go away!”

As someone with 30 years in the tourism industry, I was very disappointed in the service, or lack thereof, at this "welcome" center. We woke up in the Mammoth Lakes area to horrible smoke. In our attempt to fill our day we stopped at the beautiful visitor center to browse. An elderly woman entered and inquired about the fire, its potential danger, location, and whether it might be out soon. The employee behind the counter couldn't have been more rude and exhibited an attitude while barely answering the woman's questions with one word responses. As a manager of a visitor center I would never accept that kind of behavior from an employee. As I entered the building I witnessed a handwritten sign instructing people to download an app for fire information. I instantly got a feeling that someone inside either didn't have information or didn't want to share information. Any welcome or information center employee should go above and beyond to help people. The woman inquiring was noticeably concerned about the fires. Even if that staff person didnt have information on the fires, she should have looked it up for the elderly woman. Very disappointing for such a well stocked and beautiful center. Mananagement needs to do better with hiring and/or training.

The Mammoth Lakes Visitor Center is a great first stop when you’re new to the area. It’s right in town, surrounded by beautiful trees, and has plenty of brochures, maps, and gift items. The staff are super friendly and help you find the best spots based on your interests. Clean restrooms are available too. Definitely worth stopping by before you start exploring Mammoth Lakes!

Poorly informed. I was told by a confident sounding rep here that I would not be able to drive Reds Meadow road Fri morning before the shuttle runs. Found out later from the shuttle driver and several others that I definitely could have done that.

While there is hiking and biking available you can still go up the gondola and find snow. There are frequent siting of bear and dear right on the road. You can see them in the photos

Nice people in the visitor center and professional. Nice gift shop too. Mammoth lake is very beautiful area I highly recommend to visit that place and spend some time. The village is also nice you will find shops and restaurants. Prices are quite high but the area is wonderful. I highly recommend it. Take some time to walk around the forest and do some trails. Enjoy!

Very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly staff. Lots of fun themed items to buy in the gift shop and a water fill station inside the welcome center which we used regularly when we were in the area.

Not only does their food not match the description, the staff doesn't care. The pepperoni flatbread pizza is advertised as a half pound of pepperoni. See the attached photo. The onion rings were very clearly fried twice, the onions were burnt and the breading was splitting off the rings. The side salad was premade and had wilted and the croutons were stale. When addressed with the wait staff, instead of taking action to correct, they told me they "knew what it should look like" and then asked me what I wanted to do about it. Their phone ordering system is terrible and no options to add more dressings or sauces until after they are delivered. We will not be back. This place has gone downhill and nobody really seems to care. Too bad.

It was about 4 in the afternoon when we sat down, expecting an easy pizza stop. The sun was still high, the place had that casual daytime hum, and I thought this would be a simple in-and-out. Instead, the experience started off rocky with their QR code ordering system. The menu itself was straightforward, but then came the hoops: type in your phone, your email, drop card info into a third-party site, and before a slice even hit the table, my inbox was buzzing with texts. The part that really stuck out? The app asked for tips before service even started. That’s not hospitality — that’s backwards. Thankfully, once the food showed up, things improved. We shared two flatbread pizzas — pepperoni and BBQ chicken — both fresh, with a thin crispy crust and toppings that actually worked. The pepperoni had that nostalgic comfort, while the BBQ chicken brought a sweet-savory kick that stood out. For Boise, it felt a little elevated compared to the usual chain pie. The bill for the two pizzas came to $42.66. Not outrageous, but for a casual 4PM bite, it lands on the higher side. Still, the flavor held its ground and kept the meal from being a total miss. Final call: solid 3.5 stars. The pizzas deserve love, the ordering system needs a rethink. At the end of the day, I’d come back for the BBQ chicken flatbread — but I’d much rather order from a human than from an app.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great service and horrible food. I ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I received a Caesar salad with hard as a rock barbecued chicken. It was terrible. I tried to pick the chicken out as best I could. Without the chicken the salad was ok. The server was excellent and removed the chicken from out bill. My husband ordered a burger that he said was average. The beer was good and they allowed me to sample a few first. Again, the staff are excellent and the place has a great vibe.

We truly enjoyed ourselves! My husband and I got to enjoy our time at The Eatery before the kids came up - Steak Sandwich, Damn Good Burger and Pork Rinds. We also enjoyed a round of the seasonal tasting flight, liked that one so much we got a tasting flight of the originals! Love our time so much we took the kids back twice! Chicken Tacos, Grilled Peach & Goat Cheese Flatbread Pizza, and pork belly tacos - YUMMY! Very casual, dogs are welcome (outside). They also have musical guests play as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

came here for dinner after riding the bike park. went up to the host stand and waiting to be seated. another group came up behind me to wait to be seated as well. when the host came she ignored me and seated them first. i don’t know what that was about. then while waiting, another group came and she seated them before me again. i was just one person to be seated, she took her time to seat two other groups. when she finally seated me she just pointed to an open table and told me to go sit there then scan to order. she didn’t even walk me to the table. i ordered on my phone and staff just dropped off my beer and food. beer was fine, food was mid. not worth the price they charge. when the food runner dropped off my food she asked if i needed anything. i asked her if i could get a glass of water and she just pointed to a spout with a bunch of glasses by them and told me i can pour myself some water what the hell am I even tipping for? i didn’t get service, i got instructions. if you can go anywhere else to eat then do yourself a favor and skip this place. they don’t make good food, they make food that is edible. the beer is good though, i’ll give them that.

I really enjoyed the beer, especially the Belgian tripel. The outdoor ambiance was hard to beat with Mammoth mountains overhead, but the indoor space was lackluster. The menu was simple but the offerings were high quality and tasty. The aptly named, Damn Good Burger was, well, damn good. The bun was fresh, warm, and soft. The meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The bacon jam really put it over the top.

It's a bit of a walk from the hotel but certainly within a manageable distance. Being able to enter without a reservation, I found it to be quite a hidden gem. Water is self-service, but the staff brings the food to your table. They offer a great selection of delicious local beers. The food tends to be rich in flavor, which makes it perfect with the beer and the cold climate. Additionally, they have Wi-Fi available.

A place called Burgers should try and make better more flavorful burgers. The Bacon Cheeseburger was mediocre. Tasted like the burger was quickly heated up, and it took only about two minutes to receive our food would validate this assumption. The fries were warm, but definitely not fresh. The bison Burgers was flavorless, a few of us tasted it, and no seasoning. The service was great and kudos on that aspect. From my perspective trying to make quick food rather than great food.

Burgers are not charcoal cooked and the side dishes are subpar.Bison burger is delicious although the bread is unbearable! For the half pound burger the meat was tasteless and the sliced bread was awful! No available dessert although was prominently featured.No posted schedule . An unpredictable service.Only Indoors tables and really poor water quality.

We were starving and our food came out super fast! The cheese burger was huge and tasty. Filled me up. Kids got the chicken tenders and everyone was satisfied with their choice! Service was great and the milkshake was a good ending to a delicious dinner. The atmosphere was nice, but pretty packed. Nothing fancy just good food and good service!

Really nice, I had grilled veggies and loved all the different bits and bobs (garlic bread, baked potato and salad). The actual grilled veggies seemed undercooked and underwhelming, but I enjoyed myself and the rest of the plate was delicious and 10/10. Wish there was cheese in the baked potato and maybe slightly smaller portions overall, but otherwise I would recommend this place and hope to return.

My place for the after backpacking meal. Fries real good!

The burgers did not have a taste. The fries were fried too much. Nice atmosphere and personnel though

Let me say that these were the best burgers I've had on a long time. The food is fresh. If your hungry upgrade you burger to the Mammoth, which is a double patty, had the Bison Burger one day and later in the week had the bacon cheeseburger, Mammoth style. These burgers are delicious I highly recommend.

Ate at this beautiful restaurant after 5 day hiking trip. Delicious food and terrific staff. Love the breakfast egg and lunch sandwich, plus all the sides. Layout of the restaurant also very nice. I enjoyed a lot eating outside at the patio with Sierra right in my sight.

Really cute restaurant . The decor is so cute cows everywhere. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is really good and big portions

Excellent! The customer service is exceptional, the owner himself takes the time to help, take orders, and greet customers. I ordered pancakes and crispy bacon, and my husband ordered a chorizo omelet; both were divine. The next day, I ordered Avocado toast with crispy bacon, sprouts, and balsamic vinegar. YUM-ME. They have amazing-looking pastries. I didn't indulge, but I wanted to. A great place for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area.

Good breakfast. I got the Denver omelet with bacon substitute and was really good and filling. My son got French toast which was really good! We also recommend the biscuit and gravy on a homemade biscuit. Forgot to mention the honey, cinnamon latte yummmm

Located in the heart Mammoth, this breakfast spot offers pretty standard breakfast food, but I appreciated how quick they brought out the food and how attentive they were about coffee and water refills.

Other than the hair on my bacon it was really good. I didn’t ask for a refund, mistakes happen, not a big deal. The bacon were thick and cooked great, the eggs were good, the people were nice. I’d go back.

Food is delicious. Came here twice for breakfast during my short 2 day stay at Mammoth. The service was outstanding and the vibe was very homey, clean, and comfortable. Best hash browns I've ever had, hands down.

Great service decent food The filet was just ok but nothing to brag about The white fish was above average but not spectacular. Our server Scott was fantastic, one of the best servers we’ve ever had. The place is simple and nice clean but not fancy The dessert was excellent Cinnamon charlotte was phenomenal! The mango sorbet was delicious

We recently visited The Mogul for the full “Animal Protein” experience and everything was mostly great. Among our group, we tried the chicken, fish, and steak. The steak lovers in our group were very happy , it was juicy and cooked well. The fish was decent too. However, the chicken didn’t meet our expectations. The staff was nice, especially two gentlemen who greeted us with a warm, welcoming. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner outing in Mammoth Lakes. Just a tip: it’s better to make a reservation,, Also, note that they open after 5:30 PM

If you wanna have a nice piece of protein (fish or pork or steak or elk chop), here is the spot. The fire grill gives a full flavor profile to your meat. Overall, pretty good environment. Staffs are friendly.

Great food and service, a special thanks to Taylor who saved our day! We walked in without reservation on 4th of July evening, and obviously they were booked. So we walked outside to Google something else when Taylor run out of the restaurant, searching for us to tell they just got a cancelation. It was so kind of him to look after us, he litteraly saved our day because our toddler was getting hungry. Stephen was our waiter and cook (!), he was fast and very professional. The food was great and at a reasonable price point. We really enjoyed this place!

If you're in the mood for a quality, properly cooked steak; look no more!!! We ordered medium rare ribeyes. The entrees come with a choice of side, steamed veggies and freshly baked bread. Everything was absolutely delicious. The server was attentive, engaging and very friendly. She took our orders promptly and the food was ready very quickly. The beef tasted like one expects a great cut to taste. Deep flavor, well marbled, properly trimmed and seared to perfection. This restaurant has been in business since 1971 and there is an unmistakable reason why: Quality food and quality staff. Put this restaurant on your "must go" list for your next visit to The Village, you won't be disappointed!!!

Arturo was probably the most professional waiter we have ever had. The food was amazing they sang a song for my daughter. If 10 stars were possible they would have 11

This was a disappointment from the minute we walked in the door and we should have left. Reception guy had us wait when we had a reservation and the restaurant was nearly empty. It was almost a power play. Waitress started with, What do you think you'd like to have for dinner? No offer of a drink to start! When I asked about fish, she basically said, yes, we have fish and we grill it. She bragged about being there for well over 20 years. After twenty years she didn't know to take a drink order first? The best staff we encountered was Juan. He was plesant and efficient and we truly appreciated him. This is an expensive option for dinner which is fine but staff overall does not measure up. Limited menu options, again okay but no steak or other options for a smaller appetite. I ended up with an appetizer. Truly disappointing. More disappointed in myself for not leaving while I still had no drink on the table!

Breathtaking views in every direction, though it seems somewhat dangerous. No protective fencing preventing people from getting too close to or falling into the steaming water. You have to be careful walking upstream as there’s hidden steaming puddles you can’t really see until you’re right over them.

This site is located a few miles off of highway 395. Some portions of the road are unpaved. But if you like seeing natural areas this is a nice place to visit. This spot is also just downstream from a fish hatchery. So, there are lots of people fishing.

It was a beautiful place, it’s such a unique place. I have been coming to the Mammoth area for years and I just found out about it. I wish it was better advertised. We went during the warmest part of the day, and as you can see, there isn’t much shade, so on hot days the heat can feel very oppressive. Make sure you bring water and sunscreen with you. Water is scalding hot so getting in the water is prohibited. But the trail itself was nice and we enjoyed our time there.

This is a gem of the National First Service. The river runs between vibrant grasses and has hot springs bubbling into it. A favorite for trout fishing. An easy walk down into the gorge after driving the last mile on a dirt road. Beautiful. Saturday afternoon, sunny, mid October, not many visitors. 15 minutes from Mammoth Lakes.

Hot Creek Geologic Site is one of those spots that never gets old. Every time I visit, the views of the steaming blue pools against the Sierra backdrop are just as jaw-dropping. The geothermal springs here are wild to see up close, but definitely don’t touch: the water is dangerously hot and unpredictable, so swimming or soaking is a hard no. There are plenty of warning signs, and for good reason. Better to stick to the trails and enjoy the views from a safe distance. If you’re into fly fishing, this stretch of creek is legendary for its crystal-clear water, beautiful scenery, and solid chances at hooking some trout. The hike down is short but can get steep in places, so trekking poles help if you’ve got mobility concerns. I wouldn’t recommend bringing pets or small kids since there are no railings and the hot springs can be risky. If you’re craving a soak, check out Wild Willy’s Hot Springs nearby instead. Bonus: the drive in is easy for most cars, there’s plenty of parking, and the sunsets here are unreal, perfect for photos or just soaking in the Eastern Sierra vibes.

I had the opportunity to explore some of fascinating geographical sites, including Inyo crater and mono lake, with my brother and newphew last weekend. The vivid blue pools and steaming vents surrounded by rugged terrain made for a dramatic landscape.

This place is surreally beautiful. What a wonderful feeling it is to admire something so magnificent. I hope everyone has the same experience I had visiting this place.

Visited Convict Lake in Mammoth and did the loop hike around the lake—absolutely amazing! The trail is easy and relaxing, offering stunning visuals of the crystal-clear lake surrounded by dramatic mountain backdrops. Every turn gives you a new angle that’s picture-perfect. The reflections on the water are gorgeous, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a must-do whether you’re hiking, fishing, or just soaking in the views. A true gem in the Mammoth area!

Such a lovely lake in all seasons! My girlfriend and I visited in the winter and it was stunning, such cool waves and mountain views. There is a nice 3-mile trail around the lake that I did in the springtime, it's very lovely. We also saw a really cool red-tailed hawk here too! Be sure to check out Convict Lake while in the Mammoth area :)

Literally the most beautiful lake I've ever seen. I cannot wait to come back here again.

Beautiful lake, super easy access, here is how it looks on oct 16 2025, such a wonderful foliage

Beautiful lake with crystal clear water and light 2.5 mile hike that loops around. Plenty of parking, and the lot is right next to the welcome shack where you can borrow life jackets (for free!) and rent boats/kayaks (prices included in my attached picture). The staff were also super friendly. There’s a launching area where we pumped up our rafts and set sail. It’s kinda the inlet where boats leave out to the main lake/return. My group of 4 rowed from the launching zone to the other end in about an hour where we hung out at a little beach area. Despite there being a few boats, there was almost no visible water pollution and not once did we encounter rowdy parties on a boat. It was very serene and the water temperature was excellent to cool off in from the July heat. I’d absolutely come here again

They say that best views come from the hardest climb, to which Convict lake sets an example to prove it completely wrong. These views are so accessible for anyone, if you want you can enjoy these views from the car, however I suggest that you need to walk this trail and enjoy it to the fullest. We visited this place in End of May 2024 . I was so underestimating this lake due to its easy access and the pictures not doing justice for this mountain and lake. When we visited , it was a bit chilly and the sun was playing hide and seek. The lake color was so visible when in sun , such turquoise waters. The Mount Laurel in the background of lake was so amazing, the sheer hugeness of the mountain so blew me away. The Convict lake & Mount Laurel surely are the match made in heaven. The loop is close to 3 miles long and you can walk for how much ever you want to , we walked closed to one/ one and half mile , went to the beach and took in the views for good amount of time and returned back. I will definitely add this lake to your list when on US 395. I just love this place , and in some way when entering this region it reminded me of Europe. Even the drive to get to this place is breathtaking.

Beautiful lake, it's one of the most accessible lakes in the Mammoth area since you can drive right up to it. I recommend walking on the trail that wraps around the lake, it's pretty flat. Decent amount of parking here, but most of the spots do get filled.

This place was my last hope for some ski soles that shredded. My boots are older and they happened to have one pair of replacements. They installed them on-the-spot. This totally made an otherwise challenging day super good. Thanks, Footloose. You just gained a faithful customer.

Great options here for purchase or rental. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful! Well stocked store. Ryan was super helpful today!

We are reviewing the bike rental, not the store. The bikes were high quality and there was a lot to choose from. There were several employees standing around who didn’t seem to know what was going on so it seemed a bit disorganized. We got electric bikes and rode to the lakes, which was an amazing ride. Bikes are $35/hr or $70/4 hours. It’s a little pricey, but not surprised. We had no issues with our bikes and would rent from there again.

Huge thanks to the amazing crew at Footloose Sports! My Di2 battery died just a day before the Mammoth Gran Fondo, (the day I arrived from NJ) and no shop had the charger for my bike. Their mechanics went the extra mile, calling a friend who lent one. And two hours later my bike was ready. When I offered to pay, they just said they were happy I would make the start line. Truly awesome people!

Alexis and Salvador had great service! with positive attitude and feedback helping me and my family with bike rentals and gave me great recommendations and guidance!! Would recommend these workers to friends and family! Definitely coming back next summer!

Amazing store to rent skiing equipment or even to buy new ones in Mammoth Lakes. Friendly and very patient staff. They will answer most questions patiently in order to try to help the customer and give a great experience. The guys at the shoe fitting/testing are outstanding, they make sure you get the right skiing shoes size and you are comfortable with it by assisting the customer through the process of testing the skiing shoes on.

Rented some e-bikes here and it was a great experience. Sal helped us out a lot getting our bikes adjusted just right. We will be back.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend the creamy mushroom soup—it was so delicious that I’d go back just for it. The caramel brûlée was also excellent. However, the rest of the dishes were fairly average.

Brasserie located in the Rock 'N' Bowl is a delicious find in Mammoth Lakes. It's a French, upscale (but still casual) restaurant located on the second floor above the bowling alley. We had the wild mushroom strudel, escargot and duck. We highly recommend all three. The French soup looked marvelous and the dessert options were expansive. The service was wonderful and friendly as well as very helpful with wine selection.

Amazing food paired with the best service rivaling any fine dining in LA. A goto every year when we come. The Ribeye, short rib, beef carpaccio, and elk are all memorable and there isnt enough room on this forum to describe each well enough to do them justice.

I've visited this place tens of times, and it never disappoints. The food quality, service and atmosphere are always great. Their regular menu is already very good, but they always have some specials. Visited them on my summer trip, and enjoyed the views on a chill Friday evening.

This place deserves more recognition. A hidden French restaurant gem with an amazing chef serving up the best elk and fish. The loup de mer, elk medallions, and saffron grouper are CHEF’s KISS. Truly a great find in mammoth. Also they have a great view! The wine list is great and service is always impeccable.

Highly recommend this place for your wedding or large group event. The food is amazing, Stephan is incredibly easy to work with, and the backdrop is beautiful. Bowling is always a plus too! We had an amazing time at our wedding there and are so so glad we chose the Brasserie/ Bowling Alley!

Entire dining experience was awesome. We had late lunch so weren't that hungry but didn't want to cancel the reservation at last minute either so showed up and we are so glad that we did. Our server was very nice and kind, explained kids in details their choices. Food menu is decent, wine choices are good too and most importantly the quality of food was outstanding

They have an amazing vegan option: get the veggie burger with no mayo, and replace with cucumber and spinach. I also got fruit and textured vegan protein sauteed (they called it tofu crumble or something but it's TVP). Incredibly tasty 💚 To the owners: I hope you can add the tofu crumble to the menu as I found out it was available only when I asked the server. Label it as textured vegan protein. Vegan / Veg / Vegetarian review 💚☘️

We arrived at 7:30 on a Sunday morning to find the place bustling with business, always a good sign! After looking at the menu and reviews I decided I had to try the French toast which I could only describe as amazing. Slightly crispy exterior perfectly cooked interior nothing could Make it any better hands down probably the best French toast I've ever had! My wife got a patty melt and onion rings and while I can't speak for the patty melt gun rings were also amazing and probably some of the best I've ever had. From the staff of front to the waiters and bussers everybody was happy to help and their service was great. Will return anytime I'm in Mammoth.

Stopped by for breakfast and had a great experience. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and the cozy ambiance made it a nice spot to start the day. The food was tasty and satisfying, and they have free parking which is always a plus. It’s located a little away from the main downtown, but definitely worth the short drive.

The food was good, but service was great! They kept coming to make sure our food was alright and if we needed anything else. Also refilled our coffee 2 times!

If you want a tasty meal at good prices in Mammoth, this place won't disappoint. The atmosphere has a diner feel to it, so I wouldn't choose it for the atmosphere. Thw portions are excellent, too.

Obviously the go to place in town to eat. One part tradition one part good breakfast. I get my young kids to eat the egg/bacon/pancake from kids menu. I recommend the steak and egg hash - super tasty. Good coffee. Kids menus and crayons available.

There was a wait but it was like a well oiled machine, smooth and fast. The coffee was fresh and yummy. Staff was great with moving around the dining room refilling cups. Portions were nice. The eggs, scrambled perfectly, the bacon was thick and cooked crisp. The French toast was impeccable. Keep up the good work.

The alpine mountain country of Mammoth Lakes and Mexican cuisine isn't something that easily rolls off your tongue, and in fact, it's almost an awkward mismatch. But, who cares? On an overnight stop at Mammoth Lakes, I found this gem of a place in town. I wasn't that hungry, but I just needed to top off my tank and I ordered the fish taco here. Man, that hit the spot, it was delicious. My only criticism of this place is that the fish content was stingy. Given that, I ordered another taco, this time carnitas and that was also delicious. Again, their portions are small, but maybe because I am out of San Francisco where Mexican joints are plentiful, perhaps my expectations are different? Bottom line is, the food was excellent even if it lacks in generosity.

Loved the food, a lot of options, 10+ salsa options, spicy salsa had my heart Quesadilla was the best dish there in my opinion Super crowded and very slow service Sat to dine at tables which were not the cleanest.

Service is great. Food is delicious. Been coming to Mammoth Lakes for over 30 years so we got to enjoy Salsa's Taqueria since they opened. Highly recommend.... Our favorite go to spot! Dining indoors or outdoors so you choose! Doesn't hurt to try it, no regrets for us! We dine there and also take home and always yummy.

Really great bites! Service was fast and the selection was pretty big to feed all likes. We had a birria taco special, torta al pastor, green chile pork burrito. Horchata was really good. Their salsas are really good and spicy.

We enjoyed our meals at Salsas taqueria in Mammoth lakes. Authentic tasting mexican food. Great selection of salsa to choose from. We have been eating here since it first opened. Food will not disappoint. Worth a visit.

Authentic delicious Mexican food. We came here on a Monday morning for breakfast. I order 3 tacos (1 lengua, 1 carne asada, 1 tripas). My husband and son ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon. My other son ordered the California burrito. And my friend and her daughter ordered the bean, rice and cheese burrito. We were all very happy with our food and the prices are very reasonable. The burritos are big. They have a variety of salsas to choose from. The have mild to very spicy salsa. They were all very tasty. This is definitely one of the restaurants we will be coming back to.

Fantastic breakfast burrito, which comes with coffee. Salsa bar was very good, with well made salsas and hot carrots. Small dining room, and lots of canopy covered outdoor picnic tables. Single stall bathroom.

Shorty: Love this place all the way around. Service is nice, space is welcoming, open early (6), parking a plenty, drinks are delicious. Longy: They demonstrate they want you there with their kind service. Plenty of seating WITH power (for me to work a bit). Decor also pleasant. I prefer to support businesses that care about the customer. Check I have an RV (ambulance) to park, so large spaces are important. Check. I think it is difficult for a business to care so much about the customer and not have a good product. Even if their drinks were mediocre, i would come back just for the qualities above. Good thing thats not an issue, because i had their seasonal honey lavender latte with oat milk...and it was Amazing. Checkk I've been to their bishop location and it was everything, but the power plugs :(

I had the best frappe in my life here! The Vanilla Bean Frappe was delicious! The perfect flavor and thickness. Much better than the Looney Bean in Bishop. Great service & atmosphere too.

Visited today randomly. Wide selection of different coffees, beverages and selection of food thats goes with coffee to eat. I had mexican mocha which was really good. My brother tried their matcha on cloud and he liked it very much. Prices are very reasonable. The vibes inside are cozy, staff is welcoming and active, theres other stuff to buy as well other than drinks. Overall would highly recommend trying once. Would definitely come back.

Amazing coffee, great prices and their food is a huge win also! I find that coffee shop food items are usually a toss up but everything we had here was amazing. My hubs tried two other coffee places on our trip and found their Americanos were bitter & Looney Bean hit the spot. We even went back the following day before leaving town to grab some coffee and for for the road! Incredibly large and flavorful breakfast burritos, the best brownie I’ve had in a while, and a blueberry scone to die for. It seemed the busiest out of all places we visited and for good reason. I love the welcoming outdoor patio with an area for kids and cornhole, too. Keep it up! Will be back!

A great local coffee shop. They have a lot of different flavors for signature lattes and seasonal lattes. Their breakfast burritos are really good too! I love stopping by in the morning for a latte and burrito. The line can be long in the morning, but you can order online ahead of time for pickup to avoid waiting in line.

Dropped in on a Saturday afternoon with the family before we set off for Hot Springs hike. Finally, an excellent macchiato. Toy kitchen/barista corner kept the 4 year old busy. Great atmosphere and service. Bathroom reasonably clean.

So nice to stop by this super cute coffee shop before our afternoon activities. The shop interior is cozy, cute and clean. Their drinks are nice and delicious. The service is helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend you come by to sip on a good coffee when you are in town.

The Mammoth Tavern is a cozy little spot to grab some dinner in town. Do expect a line at peak times, and the wait can get long as they have something for the whole family. Good, no nonsense foods on this menu. Their caesar salad was absolutely delicious and would recommend for anyone. Otherwise the menu is nice and hardy. As they do get busy, so can the staff and would recommend sitting at the bar if its just you or for 2. Mammoth Tavern is worth a visit if you’re in town for some powder.

Fish tacos and fries were good, but not remarkable. The rib grilled cheese was dry and flavor so so. French onion soup had very mixed reviews but my favorite soup so I ordered it but returned it was very bland and watery. Had a vodka cranberry and I drank it but do t think it was a good quality vodka and wasn’t very strong.

30 minute wait to be seated. Fine. 45 minutes to get food after ordering. Less fine. Once the food was delivered, a dish was missing. I asked if it was coming and was told "oh no we ran out of that. Nobody told you?" The fries were cold and stale. The pretzels were bland and dry, and the accompanying "cheese sauce" was so watery and flavorless I don't think it can be called cheese. The French onion soup was so spicy it burned my throat for minutes after each bite and did not even taste like onion (it tasted more like a spicy mexican soup). After a few bites I gave up on trying to eat the food and decided i would be happier eating a pb&j at home. What a waste of time and money.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The food is simply amazing, the atmosphere/ambiance is lovely, and the staff are very friendly. I did not expect the Shepard's Pie to taste so good, highly recommend. There isn't too much parking here, so most spots might be filled. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, by the way.

Cruised in with some friends for dinner. Gotta say, everything was delicious. We ordered a couple appetizers, the home made chips were cooked perfectly. All our meals were cooked perfectly the ribs, burger and other stuff all looked delicious and the old fashions were made great. Thank you!

Totally recommend: - Peach and burrata - Short rib Grilled cheese - Dancing queen cocktail - Kentucky Mule drink Meh: - meatballs Jessie also was amazing!

Great experience here on a busy holiday weekend. Prompt and super POLITE service. Great cocktails and good food. Order the potato chips and dip for starters, you won’t regret it. I had the shepherd’s pie and I was SUPER IMPRESSED. Veggies were fresh, the beef was well seasoned, and the crust was perfect.

I had a dinner with my Wife. The menu offers good selection of original greek recipies. We had scallops and spanakopita as starters. Mussaka and chicken as mains. It was all delicious!! But we must say that our experience in this place would have not been as fantastic as it was without the waiter Ryan. Rarely we have experienced so much kindness, professionality and knowledge of one's profession all in one waiter. Thank you Ryan for your very good job!

Took about 30 mins to get service after sitting down, though the food was pretty good once it arrived. Scallops were a bit cold but everything else was good. Can't go wrong with any of the dips.

Jimmy's Taverna is a great place for a group to gather for dinner in Mammoth. Super nice staff, great wine list, wide selection of things for vegetarians and meat lovers. This is a great restaurant for a good time in Mammoth.

Great food and Bartender prepared the best cocktails. I was impressed 👍 the dips were amazing and the spanakopita was so delicious. You can tell if it’s a great Greek restaurant by those things. Was service slow ? Yes, but because it’s the holiday season and COVID makes it difficult to staff. But that isn’t the restaurant’s fault it’s just the time we are in and plus the holiday season. Definitely coming back on my next trip.

The staff were great and friendly and the presentation was really good. I was really suprised how good the food was. Our waiter was really nice and friendly and knew the menu well

Went for Sunday happy hour at the bar and was pleasantly surprised! We shared two of the fish kabobs and spanikopita it was plenty for the two of us. Delicious and fresh!

Service was friendly and attentive: couldn't have asked for more! Food was delicious, and well balanced. Nothing was too spicy or too salty, etc. Dinner was truly a special meal.
