Ultimate dessert spread
Lauren N.

My family and I was looking for a dessert shop after a long day exploring the Alabama hills. It was around 9pm when we were on the search for something sweet. We wanted dessert from a restaurant, but nope, all the restaurants close at 9pm. We then tried the grocery store, but it closed at 9 as well. Next was McDonald's, but like the other spots, they close at 9pm... even though on Yelp, it said midnight. I almost lost hope, but then found Carls Jr. it said closed at midnight. But I called to confirm that they were still open. And THANK GOD they were!! I sprinted 5 blocks to get to the Carls Jr as fast as I could. And ordered every dessert they had. The cashier was super friendly and helpful in helping me order these desserts. Desserts were pretty standard, but tasted amazing after spending 30+ minutes looking for a spot that sold dessert.

All 3 sandwiches had mold on them.

Just left the drive through and my whole family just ate Mold Bread! I'm highly upset about this and we better not get sick from this Carls Jr. Lone Pine!

Im Surprised this Place Is Only 2.9 Stars! The Staff Was Kind, The Food Came Out Almost Immediately And It Was Really Hot And Fresh! The Shakes Were Really Good And Also Came Out Fresh! The Whole Places Ambiance Was Cool, And It Was Very Clean!

One of the friendliest Carl's Jr we've eaten at.  Clean and tasty food!

See all

I waited in line for a solid five minutes. Everyone watched me stand there. No one would take my order. I didn't need to eat there that bad.

Convenient location. Unfortunately the slow foodservice and filthy bathrooms make it a less than pleasant experience.

Alabama Hills Cafe & Bakery - Cherry Turnover

We were spending a few days in Death Valley and decided to take a quick day trip to the Alabama…read moreHills and Manzanar. The restaurant was nearly full when we arrived but no one was taking advantage of the outdoor seating. The menu and prices are what you would expect from a typical American-style diner. The desserts, though, are several cuts above. It was already 2pm when we arrived (the restaurant closes at 3pm) and I was surprised to see that there were still desserts available, as they were sold out on every one of my previous visits. I've always wanted to try one of their pies. Unfortunately, the only pies left were whole pies and, though I was sorely tempted, I knew that I would end up eating the whole pie at one sitting. Instead, I ordered the peach blackberry coffee cake. Wow! I don't know who's doing their baking for them, but their talents are being wasted in Lone Pine. That coffee cake in an L.A. restaurant would be featured in Eater LA at a minimum.

This place won't let you down if you're stopping through. Many hikers and travelers stop here. They…read morehave a to-go menu (which apparently means you can literally take the menu to go - some guy walked in and asked for a to-go menu and was confused when he wasn't able to walk out with it...at first). But really, they have wraps to go if you need a quick bite. The food isn't anything to write home about - the real star of the show is Jess. She will make you feel welcomed, as if you're a regular. She has the perfect personality to keep the ambiance at the restaurant high energy and fun. Should she ever leave this place, the ratings would likely be closer to a 2-3 star.

So we went there on a Wednesday night and first off it is so darling. The inside doesn't have tons of tables, but we were lucky to get one. Love the history and vibe that's in the restaurant. It's super cute. They have a big menu with all kinds of food. I was excited to see vegan and gluten-free options. I got a Kung pao tofu which was delicious and my mom got one of the specials, teriyaki which the waitress happily helped her choose. The servings were large. An older man, I don't know if he was the manager or owner, stop by to check on us and chat with us several times as he was doing with other people in the restaurant, very friendly. We both needed to-go bags and ate it as our lunch the next day. I also got a nice sake to go with my meal. It was a super memorable dinner and definitely recommend to anyone. in fact, I recommended it to some hikers the next day.

We planned on going to the Alabama Cafe which we did on our trip up to Mammoth but they had a wait…read moreon our way down from the mountain so we walked over to the Totem Cafe. Although they weren't as busy as the Alabama cafe my husband and I found their food and the atmosphere to be great and actually much better than the Alabama Cafe. I ordered a vegetable omelette. The veges were plentiful and sautéed just right with a great flavor. I asked for a side of salsa and it was super good, obviously homemade and fresh. It came with home fried potatoes which were from freshly sliced potatoes (not frozen) and they were also seasoned perfectly. In addition i substituted fresh fruit for toast and it came with fresh cantaloupe, pineapple and berries, all sweet and delicious. ( Alabama cafe wouldn't allow for substitutes) My husband ordered ham and eggs and he said it was really good as it was a nice thick ham steak and again, great flavor. The cafe felt cozy and comfortable with lots of antique decor to check out. They also sell jars of honey that i plan on buying next time. We will be back for sure on our next trip to mammoth and I hope this review will draw attention to Totems as their food was great and they deserved the review.

It's a shame when servers are not trained. It's even worse when the food is not good…read more The young lady that served us asked about drinks. Why sure I'd like a libation something rather. She came back and said in fact they don't serve Margarita's. She said she had no idea, and that she didn't even live in the area. What does where she lives have anything to do with anything? I don't want to be mean, but ?? I ordered the 1/2 rack of these "Famous Ribs." My hubby the Flat Iron steak. We asked for salads as the choice instead of soup. We wait and wait...starving after having hiked all over the Alabama Hills. It is customary to get the salad ahead of time, but this young lady was doing other things. Suddenly after 15 min. we got our meals with no salad. She was getting ready to walk away when I asked about the salads. She went and got them not really concerned about it, and was not really understanding. So onto these ribs! I'm traumatized by these things that were so overcooked and dry. What on earth was done to these things? It seems they were boiled, then frozen, then defrosted, and microwaved? Who knows!! I do know this. I have been making ribs for a long time. For the love of God you don't need to kill the pig 15 times! My hubbies Flat Iron Steak was alright. Not completely hideous. Needless to say, there are not many choices in the Lone Pine. This is not a choice I would ever venture to again if in the area.

This is a very popular spot in Lone Pine with a very popular complaint-they run out of everything…read more We arrived on a weekday at 6:15, fairly busy, but we got one of the coveted booths with the view of Mt. Whitney. We had looked at the menu online and had an idea of what we wanted in advance, nope. Out of: the elk, all lamb, trout, and the filets- we ended up with two orders of top sirloin. I had mine with the mushrooms and my husband had his with the green peppercorn sauce- I guess you can still have the sauces even though the meat is gone. The steaks were ok, I definitely did not get what I wanted and probably wouldn't have stayed if I had known just how bad it would be. I did see others walk out, and people that ordered after me were not happy. There's a really easy way to fix this- daily paper menus with what you actually have. Maybe even update them as things run out. Just cross stuff out. Let the guests know up front. If I had known how limited it was, I wouldn't have ordered a drink and eaten the tasty bread roll. Service wasn't that great either- the person that brought the drinks was very friendly, but otherwise our waiter was pretty inattentive. I had the Bees Knees which I enjoyed, I ordered a glass of red to go with the steak, and that didn't show up till I was well into my meal. Weirdly, I would give this place another shot, but would order before even sitting down. That way when I am told that all I can get is a steak that I'm not that interested in, I'll go somewhere else. Or eat at the bar, have a decent drink and leave when you see how dire the menu selection is.
