We travel through Bishop once or twice a year. We know the Schat's bakery gets all the love, but the Roadhouse?? Yes please!!! Hubby and I stopped in for a late lunch on our journey home after a quick trip to Disneyland the day prior. It's a long drive, so Bishop is about halfway to home. We don't like traveling with leftovers, so we often share a meal. Yesterday was the Bluey Armstrong burger with a side of the garlic Parmesan fries. The burger was great! Juicy, cooked to perfection, and so flavorful. But the fries? For the love of all that's good those fries sent me on a trip straight to heaven. I wouldn't say I'm a fry snob, but I do know what I like, and these were possibly the best garlic parm fries I've ever had. So much so that I told my hubby I'd recommend going on a 6 hour girls' trip just for the fries. (My gal pals and I do weird trips for stuff like this.) Long story short(ish) stop here for food. You will be saying "get in my belly" with the only regret that it isn't closer to your home. Unless you live in Bisho, in which case you are a lucky person. read more

Aaron Schat's Roadhouse - Bluey Armstrong and garlic parm fries. Hubs had already grabbed his half of the burger. - American Near Me - Bishop, California

While on a camping road trip, we decided to stop in town for a burger and beer since we've never explored downtown Bishop before. Aaron Schat's Roadhouse came up as the best suggestion and it did not disappoint! It was only 11am but we started with 2 pints of Coor's lol. Then we ordered 2 Shot Gun burgers and beer battered fries. They were so delicious! The burger patty was freshly made and the bun was a cheese type bun from their bakery. The fries were so crispy. 1 basket of fries would have been enough to share but we ordered 2 not knowing and force fed ourselves to finish it all lol. We will definitely add this to our bishop stop on future trips! read more

We have always seen this restaurant on the way to Mammoth but never stopped by until tonight & boy are we glad we did! Was craving wings & fries & saw this place showed up as a recommendation & was closeby. Parking is very spacious they have their own lot. Lots of seating in the restaurant too. You go to the cashier counter first to place your order & pay. They have copies of their menu up front to look over. Then they give you your order number to place on your table. We ordered sides of sweet potato fries, & the garlic parmesan fries to go alongside our 12 pc hot & spicy wings (buffalo wings basically). It was a Saturday night & they had a talented gentleman sing & play the guitar on stage. It set a great ambience while we enjoyed our meal. Loved seeing him interact with the audience. Our orders came out less than 15 minutes. Fountain drinks & waters are self serve. Our food came hot & the smell was amazing. You could smell the tanginess of the wings, & the garlic from the fries. Ranch is available upon request. The buffalo wings were the best I've had in awhile- they were juicy & generous with the sauce which I really enjoy personally because I hate dry wings. They gave us an equal amount of drumsticks & flats. The fries were crispy & not too oily. My favorite were the sweet potatoes! Even as a "side" size instead of the full basket it was more than enough for us - we ended up taking to go. I like how the to go boxes are placed right by the soda machine - it's efficient so we can grab what we need without waiting in line again or waiting to flag down a waiter. Overall, I had a great time & would love to try their other menu items, so I will be back! read more

Food is great but a bit on the fatty side. I ordered the Walker Texas Ranger burger and a fountain drink. The burger had an excellent, super-crunchy bun, and it stayed firm and didn't get soggy. It tasted homemade, but it was definitely a little too fatty for me. The patty was well-seasoned and juicy, and the other components were good, though I wasn't a big fan of the sauce--it was a bit too salty. The fries were amazing--really crunchy and well-seasoned. Service was good, and the ambiance was nice overall. read more

9/30/2025- Popped in for a small quick lunch.. Perfect timing as they just opened. Very impressed with the two different kinds of oils they use.. Went with the half turkey and it was really good- I liked the shredded turkey.. Also got the small burger and fries.. plenty of fries to share.. I'd be consider getting the rotisserie chicken dinner next time.. read more

Not consistent. I ordered a burger and fries during the lunch hour and the food was so good. The meat was moist, the fries had a good crunch to them. The bun was soft. It was very good. Another time, I ordered a burger and fries during dinner and it was not good. The burger had a hard bun, the meat was dry and over cooked, and the fries tasted like they were over cooked in very old oil. They tasted gross lile you're eating oil. I went from a pleasant experience to a bad experience. It wasn't consistent. For $20, I expect the food to be good. I probably won't return because that last burger I had was just so bad. Maybe I got unlucky because that first burger was tasty. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch after a grueling hike so suffice to say - we were starving. The restaurant is set up cafeteria style where you order at the counter and can take the number to your chosen table. I was impressed with how fast the service was. There was a bit of a rush when we got there but hardly had to wait for our meals. I got the Bluey Armstrong burger with an impossible patty. It was pretty epic. The grilled onions were cooked to utterly perfection. The blue cheese was potent. I got a side of the garlic parmesan fries. Ample toppings. The fries had a really nice crisp to them. I will say that overall this was a saltier meal than I normally prefer but given the context this hit hard. Definitely recommend if in the mood for a good burger and fries! read more

Every time we come to this area, we look forward to stopping at Aaron Schat's and fill our tummies with delicious and hearty food. Milkshakes are awesome. Real milkshake, not a fake one like big golden-arch place. And it comes in 16oz beer glass, filled to the top. My healthy fish sandwich was out of this world. Fresh salad, hunk of sprouts, tasty Tuna all sandwiched between fresh slice of breads. Every bite was heaven. I ordered full, but it was huge. Even though I was very hungry after 10 mile hike, I still needed to take half of the sandwich home. And do choose the side potato salad! I can't write enough about this place. You'll see the line could be out of the door sometimes but there's a reason for that! Good casual setting, AC blasting when outside it 106F, so thank you! read more

Quite possibly the best burger in the state!!!!! The bun is perfect, the patty juicy and perfectly seasoned, all super fresh toppings, an amazing sauce. It's the only destination burger I have to have every time I'm here. read more

I am a long time Bishop local. I can honestly say that the walker Texas Ranger burger is the best burger I've ever had. It's insanely delicious. I have to have it at least once a week lol. I'm sure the other burgers are great, but the walker is it for me. I'm told the other items are also excellent. Nice atmosphere. Try to avoid peak rush hours as there can be a long wait to get your order in. read more

Aaron Schat's Roadhouse - Best burger you will ever have imo! - American Near Me - Bishop, California

Schat's Roadhouse is such a good place to go after a day of skiing. Our group of four ordered takeout around 3:30pm and we picked it all up around 10 minutes later, which I thought was extremely fast for how much food we all ordered (different sandwiches/burgers, fries, shakes). I ordered the bluey armstrong burger with a side of parmesan garlic fries and an oreo milkshake. The burger had a lot of blue cheese on it (yay!) and was medium rare, just like I wanted. They also use cheese rolls from Schat's Bakery as the bun! The side of parmesan fries was pretty large, and they did not skimp out on the parmesan and minced garlic! One person in the group ordered the fry basket, and as a note, there are more fries than you'd get in the basket versus as a side, but both portions are large. The shake was yummy too - a little melted, but the sheer amount of oreo chunks made it worth it. There is lots of seating too which is great for groups. I'll be back to enjoy the food and restaurant itself next time I'm in Mammoth/Bishop! read more

Needed fried food with beer and this place didn't disappoint. Good fish and chips and chicken wings. Fast and great service.

Awesome food, great service, I stopped on my way through for a quick lunch, I would definitely recommend it, looking forward to eating there again next time I drive through read more

We tried the Jalapeno burgers along with fries and a drink, and everything was fantastic. The burgers were flavorful, fresh, and definitely hit the spot. Service was also excellent and made the whole experience even better. I only wish this place was closer to home because I'd come here all the time. I would absolutely recommend it to my friends and family and will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

5 stars for the famous pastrami sandwich! This is the best pastrami sandwich I ever had in my life!!! Please order the Reuben and you won't regret it! It comes with a side of coleslaw or potato salad. Also, I tried the walker texas ranger and the inyo mouth burger. Both were delicious but I definitely think the Reuben is the must-try at this restaurant. Order online if you don't want to wait in line. read more

I was staying in Bishop for several days. Had dinner at Aaron Schat's Roadhouse on my first night and it was unexpectedly excellent. Food tasted great with generous proportions (entree salads, burger, etc.). Nice draft beer was surprisingly inexpensive yet delicious. Service was superior. The music was pleasant and not too loud. So what's not to like? Therefore, I came back again, again, and again. And when I'm next in Bishop, you can guess where I'll have dinner. read more

After several trips to Bishop, we finally had a chance to stop here. Got the mini Shot Burger with fries and it was delicious. They use sunflower oil instead of canola so it is healthier. The fries have a nice crunch and are served hot. Check it out if you come to Bishop. read more

To be honest, I like the food and have found the servers to be very helpful. When they first opened, the food was... so so. It is much improved and the burgers and sandwiches as well as the barbecue fare is quite excellent. The atmosphere and decor are western style and have a rustic bar feel. They have tvs over the bar, something I could do without, and some nights have live music. I haven't experienced it. The food is delicious, so it is worth the stop. read more

It was good but I expected better Perhaps I just set my expectations too high because of their bakery I got the back yard bbq pork sandwich and the Alice Parmesan fries. The sandwich seemed greasy it may just have been because of the sauce . The pork was not very Smokey . The coleslaw was watery and needed more seasoning and some sugar . The garlic Parmesan were VERY good . Sometime things go wrong cuz you just ordered the wrong thing so I may try them again tomorrow . The staff was very friendly and efficient read more

Amazing steaks and great service. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with smiles and great service. Took our order and sat down at a very clean restaurant and table. We both got the Ribeyes with Broccoli and Baked Potatoes and they were on point! Juicy, delicious and cooked to a perfect Medium Rare. Loved every bite. Huge portions too! I was pleasantly surprised at how big the portions were. Very inviting and welcoming restaurant with friendly servers and quality food. Will definitely be back! read more

We have eaten here since they opened... it is still very good, but the portion size has dropped dramatically. I usually have the Texas Walker burger, which used to take up half of the pie pan in which they served it, now it is barely the size of half a sandwich.. more like a slider, in a fry basket. read more

We stopped off here on our way to Tahoe. You place your order at the register, and the food is brought to your table. We are a family of 4, and we all opted to get different burgers (one with pineapple, another with blue cheese...) and shared a basket of fries. To sum it up, we all thoroughly enjoyed our fresh, hot burgers. Nothing was left in our baskets, and the fries were large enough for the four of us to share, and again there was none of those left by the time we were ready to hit the road. This meal hit the spot and gave us the energy we needed to trudge through to our final destination of South Lake Tahoe. If we take this route again, I'm pretty sure we'll be making this a pit stop! read more

1/2 Gobler sandwich. I also got their chicken garlic soup. It was good but not hot. The other sandwiches ordered was the Cluck Cluck chicken sandwich & the Texas bbq hamburger.

Stopped by on the way down to LA from Mammoth. Aaron Schat's Roadhouse is a solid choice and has a large list of sandwiches and burgers to choose from. I really enjoyed my Jalapeno B! Their burger bun is some cheddar bread. While I would rather have conventional burger buns, my husband really enjoyed this variation. You order at the front, grab a number, and find your own seat. It's a pretty quick stop if you're just looking for some food and is within walking distance to Eric Schat's bakery. :) read more

We stopped by here on our way to Yosemite. The burgers were delicious, the mini size was a good size burger. The fries were great too. They offer so many different ways to have the burgers - the menu is full of options. SO happy we found this place.

Great food and great service! My favorite is the Walker Texas Ranger burger. A must when in the Eastern Sierra.

I will start by saying I was STARVING after boarding all day. I was seriously craving a good steak but was also excited about a good salad. I ordered the Top Sirloin and it could not have been cooked any better. It was pink and juicy and just delicious. It came with the yummiest broccoli and side salad. The bread was also delicious it was super crispy and yummy. We ordered a side of sweet potato fries and they were really good. My husband ordered the chicken and ribs and was very happy. The food came quickly and the service was great. We sat in a cozy booth. Overall an amazing meal, I was a bit surprised. Do not hesitate and just go!!! read more

Food quality went downhill. The chili fries were taken off the menu and the beer selection decreased. But the issue wasn't the food, it was the HORRIBLE service. When you go here, you stand in line, order your own food at the counter, get your own drink, and seat yourself. There was a young lady (well a teenager) who is a food runner that is supposed to expedite orders when they come up. Most of the time, this person spends standing around and talking and giggling with other employees. This girl brought us our food and never returned. That said, when I paid for our overpriced burgers in the beginning, I left a 22% tip. I left a $17 tip because I know the food service industry is hard work. When we finished our meal. I asked for a to-go container for my leftovers. The young lady who mostly just stood around doing nothing told me that they have them out and I can grab them myself. I asked if she would mind grabbing some for me because I have bad knees and I was in a bit of pain to which she shrugged and said, "ok, so?" I waited a pause and then said, "so you won't just help me out and grab a couple for me?" Se said, "nope, it's not my job" and then she just walked away with a $#!+ eating grin as if she prided herself by telling a customer to stuff it fo making a request. A customer who already left a tip for a crew that really does absolutely nothing to earn it. My guess...this is a family business and this young lady knows that no one there, not even the manager, can tell her what to do. Well, I will never go back here because of this terrible service! No big loss anyway, the food is mediocre at best and extremely overpriced! I would give this place 0 stars if I could. read more

I had no idea what to expect at this restaurant, other than hearing they had great burgers. Upon entering, we see that it's a cozy, walk-up to order spot, so you grab a menu and place your order. The ambiance was warm, with lots of wood and a roaring fire in the kitchen for the rotisserie chickens. There was a live singer with a guitar and harmonica and he was great! He sang Tom Petty, the Eagles and more. My son and I ordered burgers; he had a straight cheeseburger with onion rings and I had the spicy jalapeño with fresh cut jalapeños, slaw and spicy sauce served with double battered fries. My burger was MESSY and you will not be able to put it down while eating. All burgers are cooked medium to medium rare and they were the juiciest things ever! The server brought our food out fast and it was a fun and delicious meal. There was a massive amount of onion rings and fries served, so you will not leave hungry. RUN; don't walk, to this spot. We have driven past this restaurant a million times blazing to MM, so it was fun to take time in Bishop. Make the stop on your way to or from Mammoth. It's a treat! read more
