We were driving to Mammoth and spotted Copper Top BBQ along the way best road trip decision we…read moremade! The smell alone had us pulling into the parking lot faster than you can say "BBQ." Everything we ordered was packed with smoky flavor, the meat was tender, the portions were generous, and the sides were just as good. It was the perfect fuel stop before heading into the mountains. If you're passing through on your way to Mammoth, do yourself a favor and don't just drive by, pull over! Your future hungry self will thank you. We'll definitely be making Copper Top BBQ a tradition on every trip up the mountain.

So we ordered a burger, grilled cheese, beef empanada, and their chicken sandwich. Burger, fries, grilled cheese, and chicken sandwich were good, but the beef empanada was not. The beef empanada was a dry ground beef empanada with no cheese filling (it says it contains mozzarella) and was only made edible by the chimichurri it comes with. I tried to order a Michelada and the waitress looked offended which is wild considering this is a brewery. Food 8/10 Service 8/10

It was around 1pm and I was still looking to have breakfast, but my hubby was looking for lunch. This place seemed to offer both and the reviews were good too! We were able to park right up front. They have an outside patio in the front area as an option to dine at. It was definitely a hot day in the high 90's, so it wasn't an option for us to sit out there today. Although they did have misters on which was a nice touch. We walked in to a busy place and there were only two tables available, so we sat down right away. It took a while for us to get our menu's, but we can see it was busy. Our server was really nice and once we ordered our food, it was served pretty quickly! I ordered the Ironman Scramble with the Cheddar Jalapeño bread which the bread was so delicious! I also ordered a refreshing Peach Iced Tea. My husband ordered the Alabama Hills Bacon Cheese Burger and a Strawberry Lemonade. We were both very happy with our meals and even ordered a Cinnamon Roll to go! All the baked goods looked amazing too.

On my way back one year I realize that I was going to arrive 20 minutes after they closed... When I called to verify the hours, the owner said don't worry, honey. I will prepare your order and stay until you get here safely. What the what???! You just don't find businesses like that anymore that go the extra step to make a difference. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the owner and staff for their kindness and know that it did not go unnoticed by me and I'm sure many others. Best wishes to all of you... You're awesome and will be sorely missed on Thursday when I'm driving through.. Lane and Flash

The bakery has so many different breads, cookies, pastries and more. The problem with the bakery is that there are no price tags. It was a no brainer to try his restaurant. Menu is fairly wide ranging - burgers to steak to salads and more. Limited options for vegetarians. The food was slightly above average and prices were reasonable. We didn't expect foodie quality eats here. You place an order at the counter and food is brought to you. Service was pretty much non existent. Food Review: Rotisserie Chicken Half ($17.95) is one of their signature dishes and comes with 2 large sides. We choose lime cilantro rice and black beans. The chicken was average, slightly overcooked and included a tortilla and pico pico. 7.5/10 Broccoli Side ($1.95) was huge portion of perfectly healthy broccoli. 9/10 Garden Salad ($10.95) is pretty average but of large size. 7.5/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Excellent Would we return? - Maybe

We were hoping to see Jerry again on our second visit but service was still good and friendly. But Jerry is the reason we hope to come back the next time we're in the area.
