Even the mini kone is so big lol!!! This soft serve place is worth every cent with their portion sizes! This place is an absolute must try if you're driving through Bishop. This place is an outdoor walk-up counter with an easy to read menu and price board ourside. I went here on labor day weekend and although the lines were busy and long, the staff were very efficient at getting through the lines without compromising friendly service! I got the chocolate ice cream with a chocolate shell in mini size: I laughed because the size was humongous LOL. I ate it on their outdoor tables outside and it was delish! Will definitely come here again read more

A special treat to stop at Jolly Cone to have an ice cream. It never disappoints. They have all sorts of ice cream including a root beer float. Food is also available. Staff is awesome and I hope this place lasts forever. Seating is outdoor including shaded areas. A great family place to take a break from being at the lake all day. read more

Jolly Kone - Strawberry and Vanilla Swirl - American Near Me - Bridgeport, California

I love little Burger places like this. They are classic burger joints that serve food, chocolate dipped cones, and delicious shakes. Jolly Kone is clean and their service is friendly and sort of quick (they seemed to always have a crowd). They were busy every time I went there, which shows that people enjoy coming here. You have to get their chocolat dipped cones and eat it quickly before it melts! We went there two times during our Bridgeport camping trip. read more

Imagine this. Tuesday afternoon 2:30p / 78 degrees (hotter than your usual 78*) - Party of 2; Day trip drive from S. Lake Tahoe to Hwy 395. We decide to take a quick break and stop at Bridgeport. With our luck, both businesses found on Yelp were located on the same parking lot. Albert's Meat Market & Deli (see Yelp page for review) Jolly Kone: Sweet tooth paradise!

Jolly Kone - Vanilla Strawberry Swirl - American Near Me - Bridgeport, California

Jolly Kone is a walk up and order burger joint, it has outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered. They have burgers, hot dogs, chicken, fries, they have snow cones and ice cream and milkshakes. This spot has a wide variety of things to choose from. We stopped here after Bodie State park. it was delicious! We ordered a Mushroom Bacon Burger and a Bacon Cheese burger. Both were delicious, one of the better burgers I've had recently. We also got milk shakes - they have so many flavors to choose from or mix and match. The burgers came with fries and I opted to uncharted to chili fries. Everything here was delicious, the staff was friendly and patient, prices were great and they had fast service. This is definitely a good place to get a bite. read more

The strawberry and vanilla ice cream swirl is the BEST The chocolate dip doesn't taste that great imo but I'd still give 5 stars read more

Jolly Kone is trying to fatten me up!! It was a warm day in Bridgeport, and folks were lining up at the J.K. I decided to follow their lead. I patiently waited in the queue, all the while watching the cones flowing from the take-out window. It was like they started dripping the moment they changed hands. I wanted some of that drip! My throat was parched. I needed some relief. I'm thinking a small chocolate cone should just about do the trick. It was my turn. The young lady inside seemed irriated, I was worried, maybe it'll be NO CONE FOR ME, I shuffled up to the window, my words carefully prepared and rehearsed, "I'll have a small chocolate, please." "Yes sir, that'll be, oh wait....we don't have anymore small". Uh oh, no small??? Uhhhh, well then, I guess that I'll have to suffer with a large. "OK, sir, two windows down to your left." Pheww! It was soup, I mean cone for me!! The cone hit the spot. Very refreshing. Quick Tip: I've now experienced a Jolly Cone in Missouri, and now a Jolly Kone in California. I did some research, not the same owners. But, the same result at both. The drips did a number on the hands. read more

This was a perfect and fulfilling stop while passing through Bridgeport after a beautiful day of hiking! As a vegan I ordered two black bean patties on a bed of lettuce to make it gluten free :) I cannot emphasize this place enough! It is definitely worth a stop if you find yourself in the area and with a hungry belly to fill! read more

This place is ok. The food itself is like a 4/5 stars; it's not the best you've ever had, but it does the job, especially when you are really hungry in a small town like Bridgeport. All food could use more seasoning, and all food was slightly over fried. However, I do not like the atmosphere of this place, which is why I question if I would happily come back. The reason why I do not like the atmosphere is because the place is completely chaotic because it's small and doesn't account for the amount of people coming to this place because there are very few restaurants around Bridgeport. It just always feels rushed here and not relaxing, and the wait can be a bit long as well, both waiting for the food itself and waiting in line to get the food. The customer service from staff is good though, even though I can tell that they are stressed out by how busy and chaotic this place is (trust me, I would be too if I was working here). Overall, this place is a solid 3/5 stars; good (but not great) food, good customer service, but chaotic atmosphere. read more

Got the plant based burger. It was excellent! Then we got a sno-cone. So so nice to have vegan options at an old school burger and ice cream spot! We ate outside with pleasant breeze, nice big red umbrellas and clean tables. read more

Ordered the hamburger, arrived incredibly quick and was very delicious. Was surprised to see it came with fries too for an already great price. Comfortable place with plenty of seating and clean restrooms. Great spot! read more

I stopped in this little place for lunch while making my journey up Highway 395. I found the food to be very tasty, as well as a friendly and courteous staff working there. The place offers window service and has no indoor seating, just outdoors only. For this reason, I asked how they do business in the winter and was told they actually close up, so please keep that in mind if you happen to be there in off season. I ordered a turkey burger combo, which came with fries and a drink. I thought the turkey burger was excellent. This is a place I would highly recommend for a meal of that sort if you happen to be in Bridgeport. read more

Nothing to write home about. The cheeseburger here was pretty thin and the bread was whatever. Burger Barn next door is way better.

GET THE BANANA SPLIT! GET THE BANANA SPLIT! This is the best little walk up spot for miles and miles. Do not miss Jolly Kone. Also, the friendly service you will find anywhere, anytime. You will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely my favorite place to eat when I'm in the Bridgeport Valley! Love their burgers, tacos, fried zucchini and cheese sticks! Their soft serve ice cream is so refreshing too! I've been here multiplied times over decades of visiting and it never disappoints except when they're closed lol! The service is always friendly but slows down when there are a lot of people. But that's understandable! Either way, it's worth it! read more

The Jolly Kone is one of the best burgers you can get especially if you like yours with a lot of vegetables. The Ortega style gives you lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and I think a pepper. The wait is super long so maybe not the best stop if you're on a quick drive but great if you want a nice break and good food. read more

I made a quick stop for lunch while motorcycle riding in the area viewing the changing fall colors mostly from the Aspen trees nearby(East coast please don't laugh its what we have to work with). I thought I'd try Jolly Cone and ordered the Chicken Sandwich. It was a little busy, but the order was up pretty fast. The sandwich was very good and a wonderful surprise. It was delicious and perfect. Combined with the cool town of Bridgeport and stunning views one could not ask for much more. Awesome place, good food for a roadside stopover.. Good job JK! read more

I've been to Rhinos, Burger Barn, Bridgeport Inn, and Jolly Kone. Jolly takes the win. They are INCREDIBLE. Burger was so good, tasty, seasoned, and fresh vegetables. The bacon was so good on the burger as well. Bartender sucks at Rhinos talking trash about everything in life, and rude to the customers. Burger Barn says their food is mexican but no marinade on the asada? C'mon. So when we ate at Jolly Kone we were so happy. I like the setting of Rhinos so if that dude M*** is gone, I will revisit. However, will be hard to pull me away from here. Yes, there is usually a wait, because they are super popular and its worth every second. Will definitely visit again when they open next month. Cant wait. read more

For over 25 years, my family has been camping in the Eastern Sierras. I've been visiting Jolly Kone since I was a child. I recall enjoying their frito pies and hot dogs. Now I order their double cheeseburgers, chili cheese fries, and finish with a large dipped chocolate ice cream cone. Jolly Kone has a very affordable menu and bomb off the grill food! I recommend getting a double burger with zucchini fries, fried pickle fries, taco salad, Ortega burger, and onion rings! This location has plenty of outdoor seating, a public restroom, and a variety of food and dessert options. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Found this place driving through Bridgeport. Must stop. Good old fashioned burgers and fries. And then the best part ...$1 snow cones. And for you diabetics, like me, sugar free snow cones. Staff was super friendly and food was done promptly. read more

Jolly Kone is a great place in Bridgeport to grab some food, ice cream, or both. It took me a while to try this place because Burger Barn is about 4-5 doors down and there is where I usually go to grab an awesome burger after a long day's hike. However, while in Bridgeport with my wife one day, she was pushing me to break my habit and give it at least one try. Fellas, you already know that when your wife wants something, she'll usually get it. Lol. I ordered the burger with the full intention of comparing it to Burger Barn and after just the first bite, I knew that (in my opinion) Burger Barn definitely had the better burger. However, that's not a knock on Jolly Kone. Their burgers are juicy and flavorful. The fries aren't bad. I think they could use some work. I'm not sure if it's that the two places prepare their burgers differently that makes me like Burger Barn more, but in any case, Jolly Kone is still a solid option You can also fill up on your ice cream craving. They serve up some very good "Kones" here. Do keep in mind, though, that even smallest sized cone is still a decent amount of ice cream. They certainly don't skimp on the servings. All told, if you're in Bridgeport and want some good food while recovering good customer service, you can't go wrong with Jolly Kone. read more

Cannot be beat!! Soft Serve so good I wish I could take it home or better yet, have it delivered!!!! Absolute must stop by and get a softy.

After a long day of driving, hiking & site seeing around the Bridgeport area, our group was starving. Several of us popped on Yelp to see what others liked to eat in this town. We unanimously all decided to stop at Jolly Kone. A cheeseburger & ice cream cone sounded wonderful to us. And let me tell you our Cheeseburgers, fries and chocolate dipped ice cream cones were yummyliscious & hit the spot. FOOD; The cheeseburgers were fresh, meat was juicy & tasty. Fries were salted just right. The dipped ice cream cones are delicious. SERVICE; was fast, friendly and efficient. We all enjoyed sitting outside on the patio while eating our meal on this beautiful day. Everyone in our group was happy we stopped here at Jolly Kone. read more

I hadn't been to Jolly Cone in years but was pleasantly surprised to see they had about 5 vegan/vegetarian sandwich/burger options! My daughter and I split a veggie burger and fries while my husband had a black bean patty with an Ortega chili and mushrooms. Both burgers were very good! We will be back that way for another event later this summer and excited to go back! Service was quick and friendly. read more

Stopped in Bridgeport for breakfast and saw this was the busiest place. That's always a sign! They have a large variety of options, including several breakfast sandwiches. We ordered a breakfast burrito substituting bacon for the sausage and a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich. My burrito was way larger than I expected! So delicious. The sandwich was a bit smaller than he expected (it was eaten before I could take a picture!) but delicious, too. The staff was so nice and friendly. They had several hand washing stations available, signs to inform the public on COVID-19, and several packs of Clorox wipes. I would recommend if you're looking for a quick, savory breakfast! read more

Some of the best soft serve ever! Great service. Everyone is so friendly. I love going to Jolly Kone every year I go camping!

We liked this place so much we came back for seconds on the way home! Is it a fine dining establishment? No. But the french fries are tasty, the tacos are surprisingly good, the ice cream is plentiful, and the snow cones are just right. We definitely enjoyed our little takeout meals from Jolly Kone. I also want to add that the staff was great read more

We love this place. We go disperse camping a lot, and every time we drive by Bridgeport we HAVE to stop by Jolly Kone. Yes, the food is simple, but something about it hits different when you are miles away from home, in the middle of nowhere. That deep friend food is just *chef's kiss*. This is a tradition we've taken on every time we are in the area. We love the customer service and the food. Win win. read more

Good burgers. Ok service. Weak ambiance. If you're really hungry go to Albert's and get a sandwich.

Stopped in on a Saturday night as most of the town closes between 5pm and 6pm (even on the weekends). We got there around 5pm and there was one family finishing up their meals as we ordered. There were two young people behind the counter - the boy taking orders was nice, but you can tell he is young and lacked the professionalism it takes to be the "face of the business" so to speak. He and the girl kept whispering and he would put his face down to laugh at whatever she was saying in between listening to what we were ordering. The food came quick and was good and wasn't terribly expensive for the two of us, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3. We didn't try the ice cream, as we were too full from the burgers. All seating is outside and we felt like the birds were plotting our demise in an attempt to get a fry or two. It seems like getting employees is difficult in this area, and they had signs up that their hours may be weird because of that. Overall, it is a good frosty style burger that I think could be better with some training and expectations. read more

Really loved this place. The ambience is small town take-out. Don't expect that the tables aren't rickety or parking will be abundant. Do expect delicious ice cream soft serve that beats the heat. I almost came back two days in a row... was stopped by my wife which was probably the healthier decision. Bonus: dog-friendly. read more
