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!

I freaking love this place. It's a mandatory stop on the way home out of the Mammoth area. I've…read moregotten sandwiches here before and they're tasty, but the real star is their amazing fresh jerky. On my last stop I got the sweet and spicy turkey jerky and teriyaki beef jerky, fully intending that the $45 dollars I spent would last me snacks for at least a week. Let's just say that didn't happen and I didn't regret a second of my jerky induced mania. Two days of jerky bliss, but then the immediate wish I had another trip planned to buy more jerky. Juicy, tasty, chewy DELICIOUS. Great work Mahogany Smoked Meats

My friend LOVES the burgers here, and to be fair--the burger was good!…read more The rest was an adventure. Apparently, you order first and THEN find a table--even with 20 empty tables staring at you. We learned this from a fellow customer who apparently promoted themselves to Assistant Seating Manager. Let's just say the explanation wasn't exactly friendly. Then there's the bar. Only about half seemed available for seating, giving me a little COVID-era flashback. I was looking around wondering, "Wait... are we still social distancing?" And if I want another beer, do I keep getting up and walking back to the bar? At that point I'm not drinking beer--I'm doing cardio with refreshments. We'd previously had an unfortunate bakery experience involving bugs and hair in our sandwiches, but everyone deserves another chance. Then I visited the bathroom. I was going to post a blurred picture, but honestly, I decided nobody needs to see that while scrolling through their feed. Let's just say whatever happened in that stall had somehow managed to cover just about everything. I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Overall: good burger, confusing setup, COVID-era seating vibes, and quite the collection of side quests. Order. Find table. Get scolded by the volunteer seating coordinator. Eat burger. Walk for beer. Visit bathroom. Question life choices.

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!

The décor, friendly faces, and comfortable setting make it the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. The food was exactly what we were hoping for--fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every bite hit the spot and reminded us why local diners like this are so special. A special shout-out to Erica, who made our visit even better. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always seemed to know exactly what we needed before we had to ask. Her positive attitude and excellent service truly elevated the entire experience. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere--Jack's Place is a gem in Bishop. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

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.
