We came in as a group of 7 for dinner. We were seated right away and service was quick. All of our apps, drinks, and entrees came out fast. Apps- pretzel, brussel sprouts, and calamari. All were served hot and were very good. We all ordered different entrees but I had the Cowboy Burger which was tasty! The patty was cooked to perfection and the BBQ sauce that came on the burger was so so good! The online menu is not up to date so we were a bit surprised when we didn't see any of the online options on the physical menu. We mainly chose this restaurant because the online menu had a BBQ platter option but we were all satisfied with our entrees so we didn't mind. The vibe was very relaxing and cozy. I wished I remembered the names of our servers, they were super kind, patient, and were very good with our child. read more

Absolutely incompetent service. Took forever to order drinks, he was not knowledgeable about the menu. Appetizers came out as the same time as the entrees (ncluding an app we didn't order). We had to request silverware from the busser after all the plates were left and continually got up to refill our own water. The server's attitude disengaged and clueless. We had to flag him down to order another round of drinks because he never checked on us. No boxes were offered to take food home, which was a shame, it was all pretty good. It took so long to get the check, again, another person had to be asked while our server was just hanging out in the kitchen He had no idea how to operate the handheld POS device. When it was pointed out he didn't remove items we didn't order, he did but then left us with a blank screen. Finally, one of us walked to the bar to ask to pay and told the bartender the server didn't know what he was doing. Her response was "it's only his second shift." I mean, ok, if he'd let us know that and apologized for lapses we would have been understanding- or if he'd had an experienced server training him he wouldn't have been the weeds - but even calling it the weeds is generous because it wasnt busy. We said, "ok, it's his second shift but you should know he's doing a terrible job" - as was evidenced by the tables around us who were similarly struggling to order and get their bills. The bartender's response was to shrug, roll her eyes and say "he's trying" while she walked away. If you're charging $30+ for entrees, and people are paying $15+ per drink, we expect more than trying. Oof, if you're treating locals like this, it's gonna be a long shoulder season. read more

We stopped here for dinner around 8:30 p.m. with a larger group. As soon as we walked in, it felt like the staff was annoyed that we had so many people. We were told we needed to order immediately or we wouldn't be served, which made us feel really rushed. We sat down, but after looking over the menu and feeling like we were inconveniencing them, we decided to leave before ordering. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food since we never got that far :/ Hopefully it was just an off night, but first impressions and customer service go a long way, and this experience wasn't a welcoming one. read more

Super yummy meal all around. Everything was good & reasonably priced for what you were getting. They were able to take our large party last minute very quickly & our waitress was efficient. Would recommend the Brussels sprouts and the summit burger. The location itself has a game room and live music that really topped off the experience. read more

Oh wow! We started as a group of 2 outside waiting for the rest of our group to meet us there for dinner. I waited at the outside bar window to order cocktails since we got there 10 mins. early. Waited, waited, waited to have 1 of the bartenders even acknowledge me. Waited, waited, waited some more for someone to come take our order. I tried but was told if we were going to be inside, we should go ahead & go inside & order. Went inside to ask for menus which I got quickly. Went back outside to wait for the rest of our group but still was dying for a cocktail or something! Waited, waited, waited, I think the waitress saw us & came out but immediately did an about face & went back inside. By the time the rest of our group arrived, we had been there 20+ mins. We decided to go eat inside as we weren't getting helped. Waited, waited, waited. Our group of 6, hungry & tired from our long drive, kept trying to flag down the waitress who would say our table's David's. We kept getting ignored even after majority of the restaurant had cleared out. After a good hour from the time we first sat down outside for drinks & going inside to get dinner, we were never approached or helped. If I could give this place a negative 5 stars, I would. I'll never come here again. Especially when every server/staff we tried to speak to gave us attitude or had not nice words about the other. We left & went to another restaurant where food came out within 10 mins from the time we ordered & it was absolutely delicious! read more

Bar Sierra - Nice outdoor patio - Barbeque Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

Nice open restaurant, bar, a few TV's and a rec room with a pool table and arcade games. Just one bathroom that was pretty dirty but when we came, kids kept running in and out. Look folks, watch your kids please, it isn't up to the staff to babysit. We had the ham croquettes, airline chicken and the burger. All were delicious! Convenient location, plenty of seating too. Service was great for us. read more

The food was amazing. We ordered the burgers and also their tuna nachos, which were so good we had to try them a couple of times during our stay at the resort. The beers they recommended were also delicious, and what's best it was supporting local breweries. The staff was pretty friendly and accommodating. At night they have live music which is nice and they have an outside patio if you have any furry babies. read more

This place is where you go when you don't want diner food or old style mammoth. It has beautiful ambiance on the inside and the food is very high quality. I would suggest this place is you want a little more upper class mammoth. It's a great date spot and the bar has a huge selection. The menu is small but each item we had was amazing. read more

I wandered by here on my way back to my condo across the street. I hadn't been here since it was Rafters. Bar Sierra opened 1.5 years ago and the inside appeared unchanged from the previous restaurant. They have Trivia Night on Thursday's starting at 7pm. It's free and hosted by a fun guy named Maurice. There are prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! A fun thing to do on a Thursday evening. They have other entertainment on the weekends. There is also a side room with a variety of arcade games. There are 16 local beers on tap. We didn't eat, but it's a simple one page menu featuring BBQ. The central fireplace makes for a cozy setting for an evening. We will be back to check out the restaurant, despite its varied reviews on Yelp. If anything, it's a fun, warm place to have a few drinks in the evening! read more

Off the beaten Mammoth path just a bit but an oh-so-cool vibe and chill. Fantastic ribeye, salmon and appetizers. Bottle of Napa Zin for $45 that drank like $100. Will (our server) was outstanding. Make this a don't skip place on your next Mammoth Adventure - and make it an Alterra Day! read more

Bar Sierra - Family toast! - Barbeque Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

We started with wings and they were super crispy and delicious. I ordered the meat plate with mac and cheese, and french fries. The food was absolutely phenomenal here and I was blown away. 100/10 The service was really good and attentive. Everyone was really friendly. The ambiance is really nice in here. The lighting is dim so it feels cool and also romantic. There's stool seating and couch seating so it feels casual. It kind of feels like you're in someone's house or at a casual not crowded party. read more

Bar Sierra - meat plate with smoked chicken, mac n cheese, and french fries - Barbeque Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

It's a halfsies for me. This establishment has had many iterations. Pluses are- a new great menu and vibe. Some of the wait staff has been great and apologetic when it's chaotic. Others completely fail and don't seem to care. Minuses are- Often long waits for service at tables and one of the dark haired bartenders makes you feel awkward for even trying to go get a drink. Think of walking into a surf shop and immediately feeling out of place. Not so great. Go for the food, the rest is a roll of the dice. read more

Keep going back to Bar Sierra The food is very good and great quality. Tonight we had the poke nachos, hoisin wings and Brussels. All were great. Drinks are excellent but it was a dry night for us. What stood out most was the great service by Dave. read more

Not sure why this place has such low reviews. I went there before checking reviews, glad I did. I liked it so much I went twice in 5 nights. Super casual, with a lot of local customers. If you are looking for a fancy night out, maybe try something else. I was there for happy hour both times. Service was great. Customers were friendly. Brussels sprouts were delicious and unbelievably cheap. I couldn't make them at home for this price. A must order. Hoisin wings were great. Deviled eggs good, with a little kick. Good burger. Good price on local drafts. Solid mixed drinks. I will definitely go back. read more

This review is for a server that felt she needed to make a presence not the actual GREAT server we had. I truly wish this review could be different, because Bar Sierra has a fun atmosphere and the food itself has always been decent. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was overshadowed by one staff member who made the experience genuinely unpleasant from start to finish. There is a particular waitress--older, very skinny, wearing obvious fake glasses--who never gives her name and seems to go out of her way to make guests feel unwelcome. The moment we were seated, she acted annoyed, and before we even had a chance to order, she came by and removed the menus from our table without a word. She never checked on us, never came around to take orders, and when we eventually had to go up to the bar to order our own drinks and food, she rolled her eyes at us as if we were inconveniencing her. It didn't stop there. At one point, she openly talked negatively about our party within earshot of others--completely unprofessional and honestly shocking for any restaurant, let alone a place in Mammoth where hospitality is usually top-notch. This wasn't a one-time moment of stress or a busy-night slip. Her attitude was consistently rude, dismissive, and disrespectful. It's disappointing and honestly embarrassing behavior for a place that should be focused on creating a welcoming environment for visitors. I hope management takes this seriously, because Bar Sierra could be a great stop--but as long as this staff member continues treating customers this way, it's impossible to recommend the experience. read more

Food was pretty good. Service was prompt and very friendly. On my list now. I'll be back.

Worst service I have ever had. the bartender and servers were fighting. The manager was barely noticeable. Bartender explained outside window access was only for pickup or delivery and to ask for a server. Server said bartender was supposed to serve us. I took the dogs home to go inside. We had just been here the week before and had hosted outside service. I wanted my out of towner friends to try the food - this server was there and she was great the week prior! She smiled but wouldn't come over. the other server refused to acknowledge us at all due to their own internal tiff. We finally left and headed to a better restaurant. To top it off, we were not the only patrons to leave. Would have given zero stars if I could. read more

I'm so happy to see my favorite Chef back running this place! The food is always amazing.... Salads, apps and mains, you can't choose wrong. They have a big bar and cocktail lounge with a cozy fireplace and live music. The dining room is also great, especially for large groups, it's massive. Definitely check it out. read more

Don't be put off by previous reviews. This is a gem to visit. It may not get the traffic as it's not on the "main drag" but it's actually in the real village a few blocks off Canyon Blvd. Some may think because it's part of Outbound resorts is not open to others. It's is open and wonderful. We went Friday and it was so nice we went back Saturday. Staff ( Will) ( boundless energy and infectious personality) on Friday was the reason we returned. Server ( Iaona) on Saturday was great. Service, food and drinks were perfect. Fireplace was perfectly placed and comforting. Both nights allowed table conversation in a normal volume. Can't recommend this place enoufh. enough. Oh yeh, food was delicious and great presentation. read more

This place has turned a corner. New management, new chef, new menu and great bartenders. I had the brussels as a starter and the fire side burger for main. I'll be going back to work my way through the menu. read more

This place was okay. Drinks weren't that great. I had the Airline chicken, it was really good with the curry. Burger was dry and tuna nachos could have used more tuna. Arcade only had about 3 machines working, the kids were disappointed. I'm very understanding of a busy night and service being slow. But we never received water and had to ask multiple times for items. read more

This restaurant/bar is part of the Outbound Hotels. So you can park in their parking lot. Walking in, the restaurant is room with a big bar and a big fireplace in the middle of the room. There's also an arcade room off to the side. Didn't really check out what games they had or how big it was. Their menu just changed so there are no bbq items. Mostly burgers, salads and some sides. I was very disappointed to find this out as I was looking forward to having some bbq. But I'm guessing this is their winter menu and probably can't really do bbq in this type of weather. The service here was not the greatest as it was hard to flag down someone to take our order or get refills. They are definitely under staffed and it being President's weekend, they really could have used the added staff support. Their drinks are just ok. Nothing to write home about. I decided to order the Ponderosa burger. It came with fries and 2 onion rings with bbq sauce. The burger was not good at all. I did not taste the bbq sauce. It tasted more like ketchup to be honest. The burger was dry and overcooked. It came with 2 patties and looked like a failed attempt at being a smash burger. The only thing good about this dish was the fries. It was nice and crispy. I wouldn't come here for the food, but if I wanted to come for a cold beer or just to hang out, then I would definitely be back. read more

Bar Sierra definitely doesn't deserve such a low rating! Everything is wonderful -- the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food.

Food is mostly bar food with a decent BBQ dinner selection you can create your own. Service is slow but super friendly and location is very close to our hotel room. Best thing on the menu is the wings. Happy hour is very affordable and drinks are great! They even have some Scotch Whisky with a single cube, which is always nice. Definitely would come back because the staff is just so delightful but food could use a bit of a lift. read more

They charge over $14 for a half poured glass of wine in a plastic tumbler. Their DJ wa not to many people's liking and couldn't read the room and make adjustments to his music selection,,, Left the private function early as it did not feel like a celebration read more

The nicest staff most of the time. Most of the time like every other bar in Mammoth Lakes smells like an understaffed Carls Jr... burnt oil and fake fish. But the staff are always wonderful I promise. It's the out of town visitors who are rude and inconsiderate that ruin the "Ambiance". read more

We ordered a simple meal--a burger, fries, and a salad--yet after 2.5 hours, our food never arrived. Every time we asked, we were told it was "coming up next," but it never did. When they finally brought something out, it was a cold burger, and the rest of our order never appeared. The manager ended up giving us a full refund, which was appreciated. The ambiance of this spot is amazing with a fireplace in the middle, so hoping they can turn things around! read more

After a long day riding the mountain, it was cool to discover that during the Outbound Hotel lobby wine bar hours, you can order Bar Sierra food to-go and enjoy it back in your room (or wherever). I had the salmon and my son got the Steak Frites. -both were really good. Also, Ann behind the bar was super cool. Total win after a day on the slopes. read more

We stood around near the entrance for 5 minutes before I had to flag down a waiter. She informed us that we had to seat ourselves. No problem, but they should at least have a sign. Our waiter brought the menus and complimentary water. Lemonade tasted homemade. The brisket was cold and the bbq sauce was cold as well. The Mac n cheese was our favorite item and the wings were tasty. read more

Stopped by this place for dinner after hearing about it from the hotel staff next door, Outbound Mammoth (fka- Sierra Nevada Resort). Upon entering there is a huge fireplace in the center of the room that divides the bar area from the dining area. Very cool country cabin vibe inside. We ordered at the counter a 2 meat and 2 sides platter. Both meats were Brisket with a side of Mac-n-cheese and coleslaw. Also ordered corn bread to try as well. Brisket was good but seemed old like it was sitting too long under a lamp. Coleslaw was surprisingly good. Mac-n-cheese was very good! Pasta cooked perfectly and cheese was amazing. Cornbread was not bad but not great. Portions filled us both up and could not fit anything more. In a side room they had some old school arcade games like Digdug, Simpsons and Frogger! Tempest was unfortunately not working. I would definitely like to come back and try the brisket again when they first open. read more
