After 3 days of backpacking, a hot steamy shower, and working up a serious appetite, I was on a quest for a big juicy burger. Mountain Rambler Brewery in Bishop came through! The Bacon & Blue Burger was incredibly well put together and paired perfectly with their crispy fries. I also tried the Arugula Salad, which was really good, although I would've swapped the goat cheese for feta if I had read the description more closely. The welcoming atmosphere and beautiful hand-painted artwork featuring local landmarks made this the perfect post-hike stop. Exactly the kind of meal I needed after 3 days on the trail! read more

We were in town for an event & stopped in to grab a bite. Menu is pretty basic, burgers, salads, sandwiches; I flipped over the menu and saw pizza, I got excited & decided to order a pizza only to realize it was Thursday & they only serve pizza on the weekend. So we ordered a burger, grilled cheese, beef empanada, and their chicken sandwich. Burger, fries, grilled cheese, and chicken sandwich were good, but the beef empanada was not. The beef empanada was a dry ground beef empanada with no cheese filling (it says it contains mozzarella) and was only made edible by the chimichurri it comes with. I tried to order a Michelada and the waitress looked offended which is wild considering this is a brewery. Food 8/10 Service 8/10 read more

All around great, and the place to stop for lunch in Bishop. Lots of great menu options and daily specials, for meat eaters, kids, vegetarians alike. Loved the casual, outdoorsy vibe, family friendly. The burgers were a hit with the kids, I had the homemade veggie burger, no complaints, and the other adult in the group had the Reuben which he enjoyed throughly. The fries were also devoured. read more

We stopped in here after our 5-day backpacking trip on the JMT to grab a burger and brew. The blue cheese burger was excellent and I especially enjoyed the garlic fries with chunks of freshly roasted garlic. The sour was also enjoyed. The prices are what you'd expect from a tourist town. I think my meal was around $27 with tax. The service was average, neither friendly nor rude, just busy. They didn't provide any recommendations but answered my questions. You have to grab your own water and bus your table. No complaints here but if you are looking for more service, this may not be your jam. I'd definitely go back for another meal as it hit the spot! Although there wasn't music, I enjoyed the ambience and liveliness of this place. I appreciated the art on the walls as well. read more

Nothing fancy but overall great lunch. We had 2 burgers, a couple of their beers, a side salad, and fries. Burgers were huge and very filling. Cooked exactly as ordered. read more

Great place to stop on 395. Amazing brews and superb salad and sandwiches. Today was Taco Tuesday so we enjoyed a bowl and tacos. The tacos were amazing. Homemade corn tortillas with abundant amount of exceptional pork.. Que bueno! Always clean, cool in the summer and wonderful service. read more

The food was good. Not too busy for a late Saturday afternoon which was nice. Service was quick. Music is a strange array for brewer/restaurant. But after a while it's just background noise to all the conversations. This probably won't be a place we come again just really not our kinda place. read more

I've been to this brewery 3 times, in 2021, 2022 and 2026. On every visit I have ordered a different IPA. On my June 17 visit I was heading to Mammoth Lakes. I proudly brought in my Mountain Rambler glass growler. A friendly young woman was behind the counter helped me and I asked if I could have my growler filled with their Hell Diver Hazy IPA. I had never had this IPA and did not get a sample. That night at my campsite at Tom's Place that's when I enjoyed my beer and it was delicious. On one of my future visits I will have to try their food because there was a lot of people eating their burgers, pizza and salads and it looked and smelled great. read more

I've been here a couple of times now as the beers and food are solid. Indoor and outdoor seating is ample. Outdoor seating also allowed me to have my pup. Service was good. Parking was easy to navigate each time. Family friendly. read more

Disappointed with the wait. It took over 35min to get our food without any indication or warning. Many others seemed to be annoyed with the wait too for their food. The garlic fries are good and the rambler burger was good according to my friends. The Reuben was kinda mid. Dry and chewy/rough pastrami. The brussel sprouts were decent but the tahini was a bit too wet and not thickened enough. read more

An incredibly open concept dining area gives incredible mountain vibes. The friendly staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. Although I wasn't there to drink I did elect for their raspberry lemon "shrub" (non-alcoholic) and it was the best thing I enjoyed there! The chicken sandwich was exactly as advertised and satiated my appetite. My SO got a baked potato with bacon and broccoli (bacoccoli?) and I lowkey wished that's what I ordered... shhh don't tell her. Ultimately this place is a great pit stop on the way to Mammoth, I'll definitely be back! read more

My coworkers and I were in Bishop for a work trip and stopped by Mountain Rambler Brewery for a late dinner (kitchen open until 9pm). Our visit happened to coincide with Locals' Night on a Wednesday and we enjoyed the live music and lively atmosphere. Mountain Rambler has a lot of food options, and between the three of us in our group, we got to try a great mix of a burger with garlic fries, a pastrami sandwich with regular fries, a sweet potato empanada with chimichurri, and a hummus and pita plate. Everything was tasty and the portions were definitely filling. I agree with some other reviews that mentioned the pastrami was cut a little thick; while tasty, it was sometimes tough to bite through. My coworkers also got some brews to try, which they enjoyed. The service was friendly and prompt and it was a nice spot to hang out and enjoy some good food. The Happy Hour menu also looked like there were some great deals! read more

I had a long way to travel on Hwy 395. Driving for several hours in a day is tiring, and you look forward to the rest stops for refreshments. My travel companion and I stopped to try a wee dram of the Scottish Ale and a basket of fries. I enjoyed the Scottish Ale a lot! Very robust and bursting withalt flavor. The fries were fresh and piping hot and so good, as well. I would've liked to have spent a couple of hours there , but we had to press on with our journey. read more

A favorite when visiting Bishop, CA. Located toward the south of the main town & on the east side of SR395. Beers are tasty. Business is family friendly. We split the Rambler burger & it was awesome! Home-made ice cream made daily. Friendly staff. Worth a stop if you're in Bishop. Our awesome servers were Laila & her co-worker read more

I live in Bishop and have been here quite a few times. The food is always good and I like to sample the beers. It can be crowded and noisy, especially on music nights. Not my style. Today, 11:30 am on a Sunday, the restaurant is hopping, but not crowded. Definitely pleasantly quiet. I am watching two men playing chess and several families enjoying their lunch. We got the soup of the day (chicken tortilla) + grilled cheese and a hamburger with fries. Just a tiny tasted of the stout. The soup was delicious. Nothing fancy. I like that. I could have gone without the grilled cheese. The soup was enough. The hamburger was as expected. The stout was a dessert drink. Very sweet and chocolate. The staff said many people order my size as dessert. We got the homemade ice cream. Very good. A nice finish. You can split it. Overall a pleasant lunch. read more

First time visiting this place. Been through Bishop a few times and have had a great experience with food, except this time. Burger was so dry I had to wash it down with ketchup. For the price, not worth it. Service was a little slow but maybe that's because it was really busy. Atmosphere was great with live music but it was miserably hot. read more

We were staying overnight in Bishop, CA while on a road trip to Reno. I saw that there was a brewery just down the street from our motel. There is live music on Wednesday with local artists. I like craft beer and my wife likes dessert and live music so we stopped at Mountain Rambler Brewery. It was full of happy people enjoying tasty food and brews whole jamming to Milo who entertained us tonight. I had a flight of 3 IPAs and a pale ale while my wife had a huge lemon square. Need a good place to get over hump day? Check out Mountain Rambler Brewery! read more

Stopped in to grab a to go order while camping in Bishop. Nice and friendly staff. Food took awhile to come out but it was a busy time. Maybe 70% of the s at were filled. Beer was cold :). Burgers ended up being pretty good. Only knock is I think they need different to go boxes. The burgers were quit sweaty from the steam. read more

I was passing through and always have success with local micro breweries. I had a burger and a few different beers. The burger was legit and hit the spot. The beer was fine... Nothing to complain about but truthfully didn't stand out for me either. I think the service could be improved.... Even though I was sitting at bar... I had to walk to cashier to get another beer. Nobody ever even asked if I wanted another... That seems really odd. read more

upon arrival to this business I was skeptical that the non-burger/pizza options would be enjoyable (and as someone with food sensitivities I usually end up with the bland garden salad). however, they had a wide variety of sandwiches and salads that all looked delicious. I ordered the arugula salad that came with balsamic vinaigrette, cranberries, apples, and pecans. It already looked amazing online but the addition of a protein would definitely put it over the top. fortunately, you can add a protein to any of their specialty salads, but for $5, which is quite steep in my opinion. overall, it may have been quite expensive, but the salad was the best I've ever had, and that's not an understatement. read more

Mountain Rambler Brewery is a super cozy and small brewery with great quality food and drinks. As soon as I walked in, the smell of fresh pizza hit me, and I knew I had to order it. Between the 3 of us, we ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and the Asian chicken salad. The salad was fresh, and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked--not dry at all. The pizza was amazing, with chunks of chicken, thinly sliced tomatoes, and red onions. I couldn't stop eating it--it was so addicting! The salad and pizza was more than enough to split between the 3 of us as well. To pair with my pizza, I ordered the Last Chance Sour (Kettle Sour with Prickly Pear and Raspberry) and the Apple Cider. Both drinks were delicious and had a tart flavor rather than being overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. The place was very crowded when we got there, so finding a table for a group of 6 was a bit of a challenge. Wait times for ordering and food can be long because of how busy it gets as well. However, the high-quality food and drinks make it totally worth it! Another nice touch is that you can order drinks through your phone, so you don't have to wait in the long line again if you want another round. This is a really great spot to hang out with friends after a long day of outdoor adventuring in the Bishop area and I would definitely come back here again when I am in the area again! read more

We stop at the brewery on the way up mammoth last Friday. One of my friends ordered soup of the day I think was chicken tortillas while others got burgers. We were fine but she was really sick the night when we got to mammoth, taken to Mammoth Hospital ER the next day, diagnosed with food poisoning and need to rest for the whole weekend. Not recommended. read more

Stopped at Mountain Rambler in Bishop because, let's be honest, no road trip is complete without "hydrating" with beer. Went with a hazy and a stout, because variety is the spice of life (and also because I like to pretend I know what I'm doing). The hazy looked like someone poured a glass of OJ and whispered the word "IPA" over it. Juicy, smooth, citrusy -- basically the IPA for people who want hops without getting punched in the taste buds. I could write something about "mouthfeel," but really it just felt like... beer in my mouth. A good one. The stout? Dark as my humor and smoother than my last apology text. Roasty, chocolatey, maybe even a hint of "my life is together now that I'm drinking this." Honestly, it's like coffee's cooler cousin who shows up late to brunch but pays for the whole check. So yeah -- Bishop might be small, but this place pours big. If you want fancy adjectives like "terroir" and "lacing," go read a beer blog. If you want two pints that will make you happy you stopped, just sit down and order. read more

Ordered "nachos". Plate arrived as a mound completely smothered in a green, viscous slop that, I believe, was supposed to be "guacamole". It wasn't. Excavation revealed congealed white cheese substance that could have been melted Jack, now hardened. Long strands of beef laced throughout with pickled jalapeño discs "peppered" through as well. Black bean paste wiped atop crisp, browned chips formed a base for the components listed above. I don't complain at venue or send food back. They're trying. Plus, I eat just about anything anyway, but this was the least impressive order of nachos I've ever had - no heartburn or food poisoning was a plus! Service was mid though appropriate. You have to bus your own table and order at the counter again if you want an additional beverage. Environment was fine. Plenty of seating. Others seemed to be enjoying themselves. Little chance of returning here. read more

Came here on a busy Saturday evening and got the Rambler Burger (ordered with fries but came with a salad instead), and also tried the garlic fries. Probably one of the best textured hamburger buns I've had: there is a nice crisp on the bottom part of the bun, which adds nice variety to each bite. I thoroughly enjoyed the blend of ingredient (bacon on anything is generally pretty good). I also enjoyed the garlic fries -- flavorful without being too garlicky. Service was on the slower side, but they were also very busy - so the wait was to be expected. Interior is light with overhead lights, with long wooden tables -- which gives a bit of a ski lodge vibe. Cozy place to get some good/filling food. read more

In Bishop for a few days. Great dinner spot. Good food and great beer. Worth a stop if you're in Bishop.

Came here with friends for dinner and drinks after a long drive in from Orange County. The beer was PHENOMENAL. The food left a lot to be desired. The ambiance was fantastic. The staff were friendly and the service was prompt. I had a creamy ale and a barrel aged stout. Both were really really good and I'd absolutely order both again. My friends all enjoyed their beers too. The food was not so inspiring. Per other reviews, we all got Rambler Burgers and they left a lot to be desired. The burgers weren't terrible, they just weren't that good either. We ate them because we were hungry, but I wish I tried something else instead. Will absolutely be returning the next time I find myself up here...just not for the burger. read more

very mid beer and the bartender lady (the one with a tatoo on the back of her right arm) was rude as hell. There was enough glasses for a flight yet she said they were running out and was hesitant to give me a flight ... Then she gave me the flight but seemed mad about it. The passion just wasn't there for me as a beer lover , weird vibes. Beautiful place, though it's a shame. read more

This is a busy place! It was hopping the Wednesday evening we ate there. Food and beer made a satisfying meal. Even sitting outside the live music was very loud, making it difficult to have a quiet conversation. We didn't go a second time during our stay in Bishop because of the noise. read more
