We ordered the Muffaletta Sandwich, which was very tasty. We also got a croissant and oatmeal cookie. Both were giant, fresh and delicious. They do not serve espressos but their coffee is very good. They do have cream and a couple of different Torani syrups if you would like some flavoring. We will definitely make this a regular stop as we pass through Independence monthly on our way back and forth to Bridgeport. There is street parking, some tables inside and out and restrooms inside the restaurant behind the counter. I will update this review when we have their breads, pies and other sandwiches. In the mean time, do yourself a favor and stop in for a visit soon!

Stop by on the way to lake Tahoe and ordered rotisserie chicken and half slab of ribs…read more Ribs are good but rotisserie chicken is a MUST!! So tender and moist. Sides are good, cilantro like rice and ranch bean are good complement. Ended up stopping by on the way back and only had the whole rotisserie. So good.

Why did we eat here? - Schats Roadhouse is located in Bishop, California. We were here to bike…read moreWhite Mountain, and visited legendary Erick Schat's Bakkerÿ. 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

The staff was so informative and friendly, I got a triple espresso iced latte, my husband got a cappuccino and they were both made to perfection. We paired our drinks with their house bacon burrito and lemon ricotta pancakes. I honestly haven't stopped thinking about those pancakes, they were so fluffy, had the right amount of lemon and just talking about it it's making me crave them all over again. We will stop by soon!

There were people eating at the tables and a line ordering their food/donuts. I appreciated that because the variety was on point! Donuts aren't my biggest craving, but when I saw the display of donuts, I wanted to try so many! We opted for just a few. -maple donut filled with Nutella (I know, WTH?! But honestly it was such a good pairing and sooooo good!) -extra maple glazed "8 donut" -Krueller donut hole (chilled and filled, yum!!!!) -cream puff that just looked so perfect and although I've never had one until now, it was light, airy, and perfectly sweet and delicious! I wish I had it in me to try more, but u til next time! Oh yeah, the wait time was fast because they are efficient while being patient and friendly!

TOP. TIER. COFFEE…read more My family and I were making our way to Mammoth Lakes and made a pit stop for some caffeine. This cafe is ~5 min drive or ~10 min walk from Erick Schat's Bakkerÿ. Parking was fairly easy, located in the back of their shop. Upon entry, you see an array of items ranging from stickers, postcards, their merch, and their coffee beans. There was no wait & the baristas were polite when taking our orders, they had ample seating inside and outside, and there's a restroom adjacent to the building but you need to ask for the key. This place was so good that we stopped by twice, on our way to Mammoth Lakes and before we made our way back home. Both times we ordered iced lattes with their house made syrups and milk alternatives (Total for 4 larges w/ milk alternatives & syrup add-ons: ~$27) and we took home 2 of their bags of beans. They had food options as well, but we didn't take a look at them. Very sad that we live so far away, but good for my wallet or else it would've been empty from daily visits.
