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

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

The place is ok a little dated. The food was not out of this world but it was good. It all came out in good time. The people welcoming you at the beginning. Our server Israel might be his name was definitely not amazing. The water tastes a little off. The place is ok . 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

9:30 we made it to Jacks In Bishop. Heading home from 4 days of successful fishing up in the June lake loop area. We're all ready for a good hearty breakfast. Found a close parking space off the busy 395 . Greeted and seated with no waiting as we entered. Jacks menu will take you a while lots of scrumptious choices. This place is so classic decorated with trophy trout, vintage fishing gear snow skiing, mining tools and numerous historic photos going back decades. Bishop is a busy place and Jacks is a destination. Our orders were taken by our friendly fun waitress Kelly, she was super. Kelly brought out biscuits and gravy early before our sausage bacon & eggs breakfasts arrived, that was nice. All our breakfasts and the biscuits & gravy were excellent. All star food, and service it's a fun relaxed atmosphere at Jacks. This morning was no different. Thanks Jacks and Kelly we'll be back 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

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. From the greeting, to the service, and then the food all wonderful. The pricing was great as well. Definitely making this a stop by point from now on. SbShellz family read more

Nice place with decent breakfast standards and comfortable seating in a whimsically western hodge podge decor. Food and service are what you'd expect. Tempting options in the bakery case, but meals are very filling and we had no room. 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

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

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

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

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

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

This restaurant is a must for breakfast! I've only had breakfast, there so I can't comment on their lunch items. We stopped in Bishop for breakfast on our drive back to Los Angeles. The delicious eggs Benedict! My eggs were poached to a perfect medium. The English muffin was not soggy. The hollandaise sauce was luscious with just the right amount of lemon and there was plenty of it. It was absolutely fantastic! My husband had the ham and cheese omelette and it was delicious as well. There were some delicious looking pies.... I would've loved to have tried one... next time, because we will definitely go back! read more

I love jacks. I wish they were still open for supper, but I'll take what I can get. Love their hot meatloaf and hot turkey sandwiches, but be warned, they'll each feed three, and that is if two are hungry grizzlies... Had breakfast there last Friday. My daughter loved the choc chip pancakes and bacon. I made due with a slice of sourdough toast and jelly. Their bread still tastes homemade, so a nice treat. read more

We stopped here today for breakfast on our way out of town. First time. The staff was the friendliest! Our server was Sierra, and she was so sweet and accommodating and very prompt on our order. I wish I would've known the name of the gentleman that served our coffee and waters. A young guy with blonde hair. He was so kind. Our food was delicious... Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy, the pancakes, and the vegetarian omelette! Usually when Cafe's have a lot of trinkets and paraphernalia on their walls, it's very dusty and dated... this diner has obviously been tended to and cared for. It's obvious that cleanliness matters and the importance of things being dusted and cleaned is important for the whole vibe of the place. Was a fantastic experience and will definitely be back when we travel through town! read more

Our favorite place to have breakfast, whether early or late in the morning, on our way to Southern California! This morning we tried the "Starter Breakfast "! 2 egg omelette with our choice of 4 items, hash browns, which I exchanged for a fresh fruit cup and 2 slices of toast, which I opted for 1 slices, no butter and topped with blackberry jam! Their omelette was perfectly cooked and not drenched in oil!! It contained a generous amount of bacon, onions and spinach! I declined cheese! Coffee was medium roast and fresh, with choice of half and half or vanilla creamer. Waitress was very attentive and checked back to make sure we were happy with our order and if more coffee was desired! read more

Not bad! It's like a Denny's but better. The food isn't quite my preference but it was the perfect place for groups to get a great start to their day or a place to enjoy a big breakfast after an early morning of adventuring. No real vegan options except maybe oatmeal? I didn't see the standard fruit cup although I'm sure they could make that happen. I ordered dry toast (as in, no butter please!) and a side of avocado. Assembled the two for avocado toast and sprinkled Jack's seasoning on it. My friend ordered bacon and eggs which came with hashed browns. He also go biscuits and gravy. He said the bacon and eggs were perfect and though it's basic, the cooks at Jack's get it right. The coffee wasn't bad and their orange juice is freshly squeezed with the pulp strained. As pulp-loving people, that wasn't for us but the taste as still fresh and yummy anyway. Personally, I would grab breakfast over at Loony Bean but if you have a big group, Jack's is the place to go. Friendly service, large portions and a pretty standard diner type offering. read more
