    Chicken Fried Steak
    Johnny Q.

    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)

    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!

    Our go to for breakfast while passing through Bishop on the way home is Jack's Restaurant which has a great cozy hometown diner experience. The menu is packed with hearty American classics -- fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, and generous portions of hash browns and corned beef hash. A favorite of our family is the Chicken Fried Steak and Blueberry Pancakes. The vibe is warm and nostalgic, with fun decor such as Trout, Antlers, Mining Tools, etc. that makes you feel right at home. Locals and visitors alike love it, and it's no surprise why -- good food, friendly staff, and great hospitality.

    We were on our way home from Reno and stopped for breakfast Nice little antique filled spot Great service However we were seated next to the owner and supervisor. Coffee was ok It could have been tastier The pancake was fluffy and the bacon were thick cut I like my bacon soft and they did a good job at that

    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!

    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!

    We learned about this brunch place from a couple's YouTube channel, and I think we did the right thing to try it out! We had a Chili cheeseburger and the original Sierra sandwich. I was full and had a good time finishing my plate. The staff is welcoming, swift, and organized. The ambiance has a cool diner vibe.

    Hash, browns, eggs, and house made Hash Oh my!

    Jacks is a cute diner staff friendly with lots of good recommendations. Service was excellent. They gave us waters almost immediately after sitting down and took our order within five minutes. Everything everything was delicious the blueberry muffins I'm gonna dream about. :

    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 .

    We travel through Bishop once or twice a year. We know the Schat's bakery gets all the love, but…read morethe Roadhouse?? Yes please!!! Hubby and I stopped in for a late lunch on our journey home after a quick trip to Disneyland the day prior. It's a long drive, so Bishop is about halfway to home. We don't like traveling with leftovers, so we often share a meal. Yesterday was the Bluey Armstrong burger with a side of the garlic Parmesan fries. The burger was great! Juicy, cooked to perfection, and so flavorful. But the fries? For the love of all that's good those fries sent me on a trip straight to heaven. I wouldn't say I'm a fry snob, but I do know what I like, and these were possibly the best garlic parm fries I've ever had. So much so that I told my hubby I'd recommend going on a 6 hour girls' trip just for the fries. (My gal pals and I do weird trips for stuff like this.) Long story short(ish) stop here for food. You will be saying "get in my belly" with the only regret that it isn't closer to your home. Unless you live in Bisho, in which case you are a lucky person.

The fries were so crispy. 1 basket of fries would have been enough to share but we ordered 2 not knowing and force fed ourselves to finish it all lol. We will definitely add this to our bishop stop on future trips!

I had a ribeye steak and it was a 10/10. Who would've thought a bowling alley would have great food. Our server, Michael, made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and had great conversation that made us feel genuinely welcomed. He was handling all the tables by himself with a smile on his face! Right away when I walked in, I noticed how clean the restaurant was, and even the bathroom was nice and spotless which always says a lot. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Unfortunately, ever since the ownership changed, the experience has gone downhill. The customer service is consistently rude and unwelcoming. It feels like staff are irritated just having to take your order. The food is now overpriced for the quality you get, which is a big change from how it used to be. I stopped going for about a year, but recently decided to give it another chance. I called in an order for myself and my disabled grandfather, who only has one arm. I politely asked multiple times if they could please cut the steak for him and even explained why. They clearly seemed annoyed by the request. When I picked up the food, everything looked rushed and just thrown into the boxes--and the steak was not cut. The rest of the meal was just as disappointing. The taquitos were plain with only cheese on top--no sides like guacamole or sour cream, especially disappointing for the price. The loaded potato wasn't even "loaded," just a plain potato. Between the poor service, lack of care, and declining food quality, this place is nothing like it used to be. It's honestly sad to see something that used to feel welcoming and enjoyable turn into somewhere I now dread going. I wouldn't recommend stopping here anymore. There are better places in town that actually value their customers.

The meal also came with a piece of cornbread. The cost of the sampler is $28. Brisket had a decent bark, although im not certain both sides of the brisket was seasoned but it was pretty tender. The smoke on the brisket was pretty aggressive, leaving ALMOST a bitter taste. Thankfully, I like a pretty aggressive smoke. Nice smoke flavor on the tri tip but also seemed to lack seasoning. Was otherwise pretty good. The sausage ended up tasting pretty good! The beans might have been ever so slightly undercooked, but otherwise tasted good. The mac and cheese says it is baked, but honestly, its hard to tell aside from the burnt cheese on top. Other than that, it was alright. The best part of the experience was the servers. They were super friendly and regularly checked on the guests. All in all, the food was just ok. Not sure it would be my first choice in eating spots in town though, especially considering the prices.
