Wonderful Monday morning breakfast experience. Joshua greeted us when we arrived and gave us a lovely seat by the window. Israel was our server and he too was friendly and welcoming. He took our drink order immediately and gave us time to decide what to order. He checked on us periodically and left the bill while explaining we could take our time. This a large restaurant with lots of comfortable seating. They have a bakery case in front filled with pies, muffins and cookies. They were very tempting. The restrooms were clean with multiple stalls, and a designated parking lot is adjacent to the restaurant. I ordered the Eggs Benedict served with hash browns. Everything was delicious. The Hollandaise sauce was perfect, creamy, hint of lemon, and just the right amount. The ham steak on the Benedict was thick and flavorful. The hash browns were very tasty as well. My husband ordered the bacon and cheddar omelette with crispy hash browns. The omelette was large and loaded with bacon and covered in cheddar. He thoroughly enjoyed it as well as the crispy hash browns. His came with a choice of toast and he got the biscuit with gravy. He shared the biscuit with me and let me tell you it was heavenly-soft, buttery with just the right crumble. I ate mine with jelly and he loved the country gravy. Know that this place is very busy on the weekend. We will add this to our regular stops while traveling through town. I hope you give them a try and enjoy it as much as we did. read more

I don't know if I had some sort of super high expectation for this particular restaurant, but when it came so heavily recommended to us by friends that we bowl in a Bowling League with, and them telling us how many years it has been that they've been patron to this restaurant, I think I was expecting something much much more. I can't say exactly what I was expecting, but I just expected better. The food was OK. It wasn't anything special. One of our friends who has been a patron to this restaurant for several decades now, when we asked what food items were good, they said everything. No. That is not true. I had a very basic breakfast and while it was just that, basic. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak. I believe it was. It was not good. It was overcooked. The gravy was extra oily and tasteless. One thing that did make me happy was the fact that they had apple jelly. That is not something you find just everywhere. I feel a lot of the old-school diners order the Heinz jellies and that's when you will find them. We were one large group eating together, but we're made of two families. We split the bill in three. That was no problem. Natasha was able to do that pretty easily. I have a feeling she's got the hang of it. We were finishing up our meal closer to their closing time. So we were being rushed out and kind of hustled along. But still, when my food came out and it was rather cold, and my toast came out and was slightly burnt, I didn't complain. I didn't wanna cause a fuss. I just ate it and did the only thing that I could, go someplace later to eat. I ordered an Arnold Palmer to drink. It did not come till much much later. I asked for a refill and I kind of got some attitude thrown at me instead. I stopped asking for anything else. We settled our portion of the bill and decided to go down the road to Schatt's Bakery. That was the better decision. Parking is available in a small lot just behind the restaurant as well as along the street. During the time that we were in town, there was a lot of construction going on. There was no parking along the sidewalk at that time. I'm sure by now it must be done and completed. If you do not leave the parking lot by a certain time, you can guarantee that they will lock the lot with their chains and locks. You will have to wait till the next morning or you will have to try and figure out how to get your car out some other way. read more

Great place to stop off for a yesteryear cafe experience. Good food. Good prices. Lovely servers. Calm ambiance.

Super delicious! We stopped here on the way to Mammoth and left happy and FULL! I ordered the eggs Benedict which was so tasty. The eggs and avocado i ordered on the side were fresh and yummy. My daughter who is quite the picky eater had a pancake and she loved it! She at almost the entire thing and they were nice enough to give her some whipped cream on the side! The merch area was pretty cool. Hoodies for $25 is definitely a deal! Unfortunately they didn't have many in stock including my size which was the only thing that was unfortunate for me. The restaurant is super fun with lots of fishing decor. The staff was also super kind and friendly! We love Jack's! read more

Stopped by Bishop for breakfast on the way back from Mammoth. Jack's restaurant had a very local diner vibe. My boyfriend likes the waffles here so I wanted to give it a try and it did not disappoint! It's an American style waffle so they are thinner and crispier than a Belgium. The texture was great and I heard they even use a home made batter! I also wanted some protein so I ordered one of the griddle combos that included eggs with the waffles. The strawberry and cream waffle was also delicious and not too sweet ! it tasted more natural versus artificially sweetened. Our server, Josh, was very tentative and had recommended the strawberry waffle. He came back to check if he needed any additional sauces as well as coffee/water refills. Service was prompt and the food came out quickly! Which was great since we had a long drive home. read more

Great local diner with a below average chicken fried steak. I was excited to try it since it was one of their signatures but I was pretty disappointed. This breakfast combo started with biscuit and gravy that blew me away. The biscuits were pillowy soft and moist and the gravy was perfectly seasoned with a meaty, peppery flavor. One of the best biscuits and gravy I've had (9/10) The chicken fried steak was a let down mainly because of the texture of the steak. It was a very tough, stringy, almost rubbery meat patty under the batter. They used a unique fried egg as a batter which was well seasoned and fried well. Their sunny side up eggs were great and has browns were crisped perfectly but I couldn't finish the rest of the steak. I would recommend using any other cut of steak or even a traditional 80/20 ground beef as a patty or a differently sourced patty. This patty had bits of veins and tendons that gave it an almost elastic texture that made it hard to chew. (4/10) The Orange juice was freshly pressed and pulped with bits of orange meat inside. I would get it again. (9/10) read more

Passing by Bishop California on our way to Lake Tahoe made us feel starved with the nothingness of the desert and cacti, alike. So, we stopped by Bishop to check out their goodies and foodies and Yelp spit out Jack's Restaurant and Bakery on Main Street! It's a small town with a huge heart, people said hellos and howdys while this cowboy town humbly boasts great food and alluring restaurants. I ordered their famous hamburgers that's original to this restaurant and the server promised that it's their best menu dish that they can be proud of. The meat was tender and aromatic, sweet to the taste and not greasy to the mouth, Wow! With the lettuce, mustard and soft bread, the hamburger was out of his world, I found myself closing my eyes and humming to the sound of food orgasms. Hahahah! This burger was out of this world! My sisters ordered their salad and equally awesome, it was crunchy time ears and yummy to the stomach. My other master ordered the soup cause she just got out of her colitis confinement and her comments were, OMG ...taste like Mom's cooking! To wrap it up, we were offered desserts and the server boasted about their pies! Their pecan pies are wild, creamy, fruity, sweet and they melt in your mouth! Don't it from a doc, drop by and tell me how you find these heavenly goodies, too? So, if you're passing my Bishop and Mamoth, California ... drop by Jack's Restaurant and you might find yourself stopping for more than an hour, on your way to Lake Tahoe! Hahahha! read more

Food was ok, but poor service. The owners stare at you if you don't look the part. Don't go.

Got the worst chicken fried steak and gravy was blah. And waitress forgot my toast. And the menu said this was their specialty.

Worst local place to eat at I've given it a shot a few times every time disappointing food NO FLAVOR took well over 15 to get my change back. Also they rush you to place an order. And the blueberry muffins are apparently burnt and dry per "waitress". Also I always leave a tip not this time! read more

Part of the Mammoth tradition is stopping at Jack's for breakfast. The diner is a no thrills kind of place that serves up breakfast plates that gets the job done. They get four stars because they kept tradition and aren't trying to be fancy. When you walk inside, you know what you're about to get. read more

We've been coming to Jack's Breakfast in Bishop for over 20 years, but this was by far the worst experience we've ever had. Our server, Kelly, came to take our order almost immediately, but when we asked for a few more minutes, we didn't see her again for about 20 minutes. We had to ask another employee to find her. Throughout the meal, we never got water or coffee refills, and we felt completely forgotten. Our pancakes and biscuit with gravy were also forgotten. After mentioning it, she admitted that she had forgotten to put in the pancake order so we said forget them but we still want the biscuit that comes with the meal. We waited another 10 minutes before I finally had to walk to the kitchen myself to ask for it, and by then we just took it to go. The food is still great, but the service was incredibly disappointing. We hope this was just a one-time experience because we've always loved coming here. If this were our first time, we would not be back. read more

I've been going through Bishop hundreds of time in my life time... since I was two to now seventy two... and Jack's has been here longer... and this is the first time ever, I stopped to eat here... my wife's side, whose been coming through Bishop as long as me couldn't believe it... in the 60's and 70's my folks would stop in Bishop and pick up sheepherders bread from Schat's Bakery right next door... that's where we stopped religiously... and my go to later when I started my own traditions... but kept that one... until Schat's opened one in Mammoth Lakes... didn't even notice Jack's next door... but now since my brother in law was driving we stopped here for his traditional breakfast... funny, everyone told me to get the waffle with a side of bacon, but he got the veggie omelet with hash browns... I decided on getting their strawberry waffle and a side of soft bacon... if you know me, I am a waffle snob... especially Belgium but these were made just like my mom used to make them... probably on the same waffle iron from the 60's... much thinner... you would think with all the toppings of strawberry's and whip cream it would be a sloppy mess... but the waffle was crisp... the strawberries were not fresh but frozen, just like my mom used to make them... with whip cream... and I sprinkled on the chewy bacon... with a dab of syrup... oh man... I was a little kid again having my mom's strawberry waffles! The décor and the place took me back 60 years, and I loved every minute... after 72 years, I'm going to start a new tradition... going to make sure I stop here for breakfast and relive the days gone by and enjoy Jack's forever and ever! read more

This is a nice diner to stop at otw to and from mammoth. They're known for their corner beef hash which is something I love to try when available. The staff was very attentive and nice and very quick on the uptake of refilling our water or coffees. The meals came out at a reasonable time. The decor is full of record fish catches in the local area I assume. The corned beef hash breakfast combo was great. The corn beef hash had a nice char and sear with the potatoes and onions in it. The hash browns and eggs were done well and the toast wasn't dry which was excellent. The group also got gravy and that was very good! read more

Driving thru from Idaho to California . Stopped in Bishop for breakfast . Hands down! This IS the place you want to eat. You enter into the history of what Bishop CA is or was. A place where hunters , fishers, hikers gathered. The wall behind us hung a 23 pound trout mount! I believe I counted 8? Such mounts on the walls? Don't quote me on that . Artifacts on placed on the walls throughout the restaurant made me think this was an area where logging or mining were done. Service is excellent. The food was delicious . Coffee , great! Bathrooms clean !! That is a big plus in my book. I could see why this place has its loyal customers and why visitors choose to eat here. Great service , food and ambiance. This is a must when you are in Bishop . read more

We used to live in Mammoth and have frequently stopped for breakfast at Jack's in Bishop on our way through. Usually a good to VG meal. This past weekend (10/12/2025) was certainly an exception to past experiences. The french toast was flat cold. Eggs were cool as were hash browns. Bacon was half cooked.... Wow. ~$60 for two really bad breakfasts. They were very busy with lots of people waiting, so maybe that was a factor. The waitress was working hard, but the kitchen let us all down. If these guys are at all busy, head on down the road for food. read more

The service is always great at Jack's! Breakfast burrito was amazing and we can't ever leave without a cherry pie to go!

Everything was great at Jack's we stopped in on our way back from Mammoth and saw Jack's a decided to give it a try. Check all boxes.

A classic breakfast place with old west decor open from 7 to 2 for breakfast and lunch only, with griddle combos to omelettes to sandwiches to burgers. They sell their own seasoned salt and habanero sauce. Pies are available, too. We were seated right away even on a Saturday morning, and our order was taken from the menus under glass on the tables. Even though their parking lot was almost full, there were numerous booths and tables in the back room to handle the crowd. read more

The ambiance is cute, fish and random tools and signs on the walls and the menus are on the table at all times underneath plastic. The food was about what you'd get at a Dennys from hashbrowns to the eggs and the links of sausage. The big surprise is the fruit bowl which has fresh pineapple and honeydew and cantaloupe. The wheat bread looks really hearty too with seeds and everything. It doesn't stand out in any way, but I think you'd get just what you'd expect which is good:) service was fine too read more

We discovered Jack's last year on the way home from Mammoth. So glad we did! Perfect place for breakfast. Trying to pack up and make breakfast is a lot. So, we go out. Bishop is a great place to stop, eat and fill up. Anyways, back to the review...... This is a true vintage restaurant. It's been here since at least 1948 (at least that's the menu on the wall says). The employees have been super welcoming every time. The ham and eggs with strawberry waffle is my favorite! Their ham is always cooked/smoked perfectly. Chocolate chip pancakes are always a solid bet. Coffee is excellent. This is a great place to get full for the drive home. read more

The food we ate wasn't as good as we thought it'd be. My friend's steak was incredibly tough and we couldn't cut through it and had to use our hands. My friend ended up not eating it. I ordered eggs and hash brown and there were two pieces of long hair in it. The waitress only came by our table once and didn't ask if we needed anything. The workers were kind but I really wish I had a better experience with the food overall. I've heard good things about this restaurant and I'm unfortunately disappointed:( read more

Excellent service, fresh food & clean! Passing through Bishop after a trip to Yosemite. Josh was very attentive, lots of locals. My husband's strawberry shake tasted homemade, as did the potato salad. Lettuce chicken wrap with fresh crisp lettuce. Classic diner food that tasted great! Really good fries. They close at 2:00, we went in at 1:15 with the option of breakfast or lunch. We never felt rushed and couldn't believe how much they were cleaning. (Always a good sign.) We would go back! This is an affordable place to get a quick, decent meal. read more
