So Classic Burgers has been a regular stop on my road trips up the 395, mostly because there is a…read moreTesla Charger station in the same parking lot. Also because they have clean bathrooms available, and of course, the tasty burgers, fries, onion rings, and other burger joint favorites. The menu is not cheap, but most things are pretty good including the avocado bacon cheeseburger and the onion rings. They also have really good shakes and malts. It's basically a classic old-school burger joint but everything tastes good because not many places make things like that anymore. Service is usually pretty quick. The decor is classic diner and they've got a few interesting things on the walls. Overall a five star roadtrip stop.

Turns out walking over to the counter to order in-person is quicker than waiting for the customer in front of you to finish ordering at the self-order kiosk. - I just wish the cashier was available sooner/more. - lol tried to order online on the drive there to save time, but service out there so spotty. By the time I reached the checkout page on my phone, it said 25min wait, and I had already physically arrived at the restaurant. Quicker to just order in-person lmao. . Decent amount of indoor seating, but quite crowded. It's a desert out there, and this burger joint seems a popular stop. + First restaurant I've seen with a hand-washing sink within the dining area. Neat! + Good restrooms. Well ventilated. Considering we just came from a buncha hikes with poorly-maintained trailhead restrooms, recuperating here was a relief.

June 17 was the start of my 5 day birthday road trip to Mammoth Lakes. My first stop was Indian…read moreWells Brewery. This was my first time visiting this brewery. I walked in armed with my 64 ounce growler. The inside of the brewery was really nice and organized well. As I walked in I could see all their beer taps. I asked for a taster of their Amnesia IPA. I loved the hoppy flavor so I had them fill up my growler. They were bottling beer when I was there and it was cool to watch. I bought a shirt while they were filling up my beer. The employee was friendly and I even payed the brewery a return visit when I was heading home on Sunday. I look forward to many return visits.

It's cool seeing what it would be like living in these small towns. Stopped at 5pm on a Sunday so not exactly prime time.

Also surprising were two cute blonde locals stopping by, chatted with one but unfortunately didn't get her name. Only odd thing was every time someone played music on the jukebox some older woman would come out of nowhere and grab a remote from behind the bar and turn it off. lol. Buzz kill

It's a small, casual spot with a nice outdoor seating area overlooking the main road through Kernville. A great place to kick back, enjoy the mountain-town atmosphere, and watch the world go by. It's a little pricey, and don't expect fast food, but that's part of the appeal. Good food takes time, and it's absolutely worth the wait. One of my favorite stops when I'm in the area!

It was a younger looking girl at the register who didn't seem alarmed by the immediate rush of people who added to the already semi-long line. A couple times she shouted that she was "sorry for the wait" and that there was "only two of them". I immediately thought "oh no". Our group arrived before breakfast cutoff time but since we were in line so long it was well past the cutoff by the time we could order breakfast. Some were bummed but found alternatives. I went with a bacon burger and onion rings. Both were very good with the onion rings were excellent. The shakes looked good but I wasn't adventurous enough to try some before our long drive home. The place was clean, even the bathroom. I was very impressed with the work ethic of the two employees. Kudos to the owner or hiring manager.

Friendly staff, quick service, and clean restrooms "seal the deal" on making this spot a must-try for weary travelers ready for a break from the road. There are lots of dining options on the menu, but the unanimous crowd pleaser appears to be the onion rings (as apparent from a quick visual survey of the customer trays). Old-school delicious without being greasy, I'd recommend their Workz Sampler where fried zucchini sticks and fries are also included. It's a meal in itself but, if pairing with a burger or sandwich, prepare to loosen your belt a notch because portions are generous. There's a full range of dining choices, so whether stopping in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a quick snack, I'm sure everyone in your party will find something to enjoy. Of course, if you're a fan of classic roadside burger joint fair, you need to give The Workz a try!

It's a must stop !! so I was coming down the mountain and realized I only had a very little time left before they closed, so I got there right as they were stopping taking orders (3:45) maybe even a couple minutes late, but she took mine anyways and was happy to do so without any problem, which is the first awesome thing I will say about this experience. I wish I would've caught her name, because she made my day !!Second thing I would like to mention is the price and how huge the portions are. The price was comparable to everywhere else and it was not marked up for being how far it was away from the actual Kernville town. If you don't know, there's only so many places to eat in the Kernville town and up on the mountain, especially for vegetarians, so I feel like I've pretty much tried them all except for some strange reason I haven't tried the McNally's down in the Kernville town, but will now !...But what I wanted to mention, and I will name some other places nameless, but I've ordered stuff and spent $20+(which I feel is normal these days unfortunately) and left still feeling hungry. But not at McNally Burgers !! I ordered the impossible burger, which was huge and I also ordered a large side of fries, freaking delish !!! The only thing I'm bummed about is that I've been coming up here for about five years now and I haven't stopped here sooner. Bravo McNally's !! Thank you for having an awesome veggie option on the menu for us I will definitely start being a regular customer up the road and in town ! And I haven't checked yet, but please put some awesome veggie option on the menu at the steakhouse for me when I come back up !
