This restaurant has been our 1/2 way point for our Cali trips for over 5 years. I cannot express how wonderful the food is! This morning I had homemade biscuits and they served gravy with it. OMG! That along with turkey sausage and an egg. Perfect. If you have the chance, stop by. Also, we had our dog with us and they invited her in so we didn't have to sit on the patio. read more

On the way home stopped in Lone Pine for a bite to eat. My husband had a bacon burger with fries and I had a dinner salad. Food was fresh and fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Staff was friendly, prices are high and they have a cute western motif. Stop by if you need a last bite before the haul home. read more

First of all the hostess who was also the waitress, this was for a late lunch, was really bad. Had to ask for water but brings one glass instead it one each for my wife and I. Burgers were not great. Should have gone to McDonald's for a better experience. The one redeeming thing was the fries were decent. read more

We stopped here on our way up Mammoth. This place is located in Lone Pine. The breakfast was very good. The eggs were made perfect to order. We both had them over medium. The pancakes were also good. The hashbrowns were a bit overcooked but they were okay, not great. Still good. The service was a bit slow and the hot water for my tea was medium warm. I told them it was not hot enough, and they did bring me some more hot water right away. The waitress was very friendly. This is a good place to stop for breakfast on your way up to Bishop or mammoth lakes. read more

Not the best burger in Lone Pine. Not even a very good place. Try Alabama Hills for a good burger. This place.. food had. Service bad. So, don't waste your money. read more

Came in at lunch time, stood around for a while waiting to be seated. Looked like only 2 people working and pretty busy so I was patient and gave them the benefit of the doubt. When I was eventually seated, the waitress was quite curt. I sat and waited, and waited, and waited... a couple came in after I'd not been helped at the table for 10 minutes and were served immediately. I walked out. read more

The restaurant is a nice throwback from the past with many pictures and artifacts. The service was friendly and the food is good, BUT more expensive than what a basic burger meal, sandwiches and other meals should cost. They do have good onion rings though. read more

Food: below average. Service: good. Ambiance: local. We always look forward to Alabama Hills when we pass through town. They were closed. Fast food would have been better and cheaper. Go if you want to see a huge collection of western pictures from mid-twentieth century. read more

First time here. Very fun place. Soooo much to look at on the walls. Decent menu with substantial variety. I had the grilled cheese with ham. Delicious! Han was thin and not fatty (win). On my trip to the bathroom I got sidetracked looking at all of the old pictures covering the walls. Enjoyed our lunch here today. Hope to be back again sometime. read more

Stop by on the way to my first trip to june lake and yosemite and I definitely wasn't disappointed when I came here with a hungry tummy. I enjoyed a delicious chicken sandwich and my partner enjoyed a patty melt both very delicious. I also had a side salad which I wasn't too fond of. I had a delicious Arnold Palmer to drink ( tea and lemonade). Thanks to all the staff for a fantastic experience. ps it was really cool to see all the classic pictures of john wayne movies and such. read more

In town for one night, looking for a good burger, drinks and nice warm atmosphere but what we found was a not this! Employees treated us like we were a bother. Very few people there, and still no check in to see how the food was. Never an offer for more drinks. Burger and onion rings were not hot. Should have listened to the hotels recommendations, as this was not one of them. read more

Been going here since I was a little boy. A lot of great memories with family here. The food is good, the service is good and I like their beer list. Loved seeing Indian Wells on tap. If you're in town or passing through it's a great place to grab a burger and a pint. read more

Guess our server was the owners daughter granddaughter? Not sure but she could not be bothered, we had lunch and dinner at a few places down town lone pine all great except this stop , hands down this was the worst service that I've had anywhere in a long time. Worst serving sizes 6 onion rings? Small pastrami sandwich almost like I ordered off of the kids menu. Worst service, asked some ice water got my glass refilled with room temp water and no ice at all, got up and got my own ice after asking for ice water 3 times. After watching her looking at our tables empty glasses she just moved on, we wanted more items like dessert. We won't be back to eat here next time we are back later this year, and I'm pretty sure the other 5 people won't be back either. Time to hire someone who cares about your customers. Sadly with the great name other people like us will get tricked into coming here, only wished I would have seen the most recent reviews seems like they must've had the same server! read more

Fantastic customer service, delicious food and amazing atmosphere. This restaurant is exactly what we needed on a long car ride. The food was fresh tasty and hot. The Philly was great and the vegetable beef was delicious. We also got a strawberry shake that was super yummy. Kelby was extremely helpful on guiding us to choosing the right menu items for us. Next time we find ourselves in Lone Pine we will be back. read more

We just stopped in on a roadtrip headed south and I brought 4 kids and my wife and we got burgers and sandwiches and everything was excellent. Our waitress, Misty was one of the best waitresses ever. She's quick, smart, detailed and very friendly. My whole family loved our lunch and we look forward to going back. read more

Heading up to the high Sierras and stopped at lone pine because I was starving. This place looks like a diner from the 50s. Service was average, the restaurant is nothing special but I liked it. It has crazy pictures of old cowboys on the walls and looked like a local hangout. The food was ok, cooked to order and the menu had quite a few selections. read more

Awesome food. If you're on your way to Mammoth this is a go to pit stop! Comfort food and the desserts are amazing

Stopped in last night after trying a few places that were closed. The guy working was so friendly and pleasant to talk to. He helped navigate the burger section for a vegetarian and invited us to sit while we waited for our to-go order. Cute ambiance inside with all the memorabilia too. read more

after a grueling 17 hours of hiking, this place tasted like the best thing i ever ate in my life. it wasn't really thhhaaaaat good, but it's a fantastic place to get brekkie at after hiking mt whitney. i got a classic breakfast plate with bacon eggs toast home fries and it was solid. unlimited refills on coffee. the coffee provided me with the mental energy i needed to recover from altitude sickness the day before. shout out to margaret from yelp LA for giving me a bunch of nuun packets, they probably saved my life after hiking. getchooo electrolytes lol read more

We had the worst service, our waitress came to our table 2x. She seemed really put out to even have to deliver our food. Never came to refill our drinks. Had to ask twice for our check-which they passed along their card fees to the customer. So, they'd rather have cash from some COVID infected customers. Makes sense. The food was mediocre at best. I honestly didn't realize I needed to ask for my hash browns to be cooked. Or that I needed to request that my sourdough toast have butter put on it. It's dirty, old and has not been maintained. We are not newbies, we've been eating here after backpacking trips, on our way to Mammoth summer and winter. We are done. I would much rather have a waitress that gives a crap, rather than this waitress and hostess who was more concerned with her long, ridiculous nails. It's either no stop or we will eat at nasty McDonald's for breakfast. So disappointed because this was a touchstone for our trips. read more

It was a hot day in July, I had spent a few hours hiking through snow to Robinson Lake and drove through Lone Pine on my way to the Alabama Hills. Feeling a little hungry and not looking forward to backpacking food, I walked a bit along Hwy 395 and saw the "Best Burgers In Town" sign posted in the window here. Not one to pass up a good challenge, I went inside. Some ice water and a cold beer made for a great start and I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger. This thing is a good looking burger, with ample strips of crispy bacon plus onion, pickles, tomato and lettuce all piled alongside. It's hiker bliss to just sit down, relax and have a good meal I definitely recommend this place for a good meal. I didn't have the ice cream to finish off my feast but they always have a good selection so make sure to plan for dessert. read more

Mt Whitney Restaurant - Bacon Cheeseburger along with Sierra Nevada Ale. Most excellent... - American Near Me - Lone Pine, California

We were very hesitant to eat here because of the terrible reviews. But then I remembered that this town is filled with LA douchebags most of the year and they would despise the Americana present on display inside. So we took a chance. And it was fantastic. In fact, it was so good that we came back again the day after. We tried the Teriyaki burger (substituted chicken)--phenomenal. Actually, their teriyaki sauce was excellent. Not sure if it was a special brand or they make it but we loved it. Like crackiyaki. Chicken was very tended and cooked perfectly. Also tried the bacon cheeseburger and steak. Meat was a tad overcooked but I mean a tad. Nothing to complain about or send back. And certainly nothing like what I read about. In any case, steak was very juicy and well seasoned. Service was good. Decor is awesome. Still trying to understand why people are hitting this place so hard so I can only think that the iconography--especially John Wayne and anti-PC stuff everywhere drives these SJWs nuts. read more

This restaurant advertises "The best burgers in town. " However, I think it's just the opposite: burgers are mediocre and the service is terrible. Normally, I wait a few days or even more before posting a review. But, this place warrants a review after just finishing lunch right now. First, the outdoor seating area is filthy. Tables aren't wiped down and the concrete is littered with leaves and trash debris. To their credit, the place just finished with the lunch rush. For whatever reason, two different food servers were helping me. One took my drink order and the other took my food order. The food orderer rushed to the restaurant to begin work, as she appeared to be late. She wasn't friendly and forgot to ask me how I wanted my burger cooked. I had to send the bus boy back in to tell her what I wanted so I wouldn't get an undercooked burger. The burger was mediocre. Nothing special. Just a 1/3 lb patty with cheese and ortega chilies. French fries were barely warm. Really no excuse for that at all. When I ordered she asked me what I didn't want. Told her and the plate still arrived w/everything that I didn't want, in terms of condiments. About 15 minutes elapsed between the time I finished my meal and the point where I was getting antsy and wanted to leave. Yet, nobody showed up with the bill, so I came in and asked someone if they wanted me to pay for the meal. My food server forgot to tell me that the restaurant adds almost 4% surcharge for credit card purchases. The only reason this place is still around is because they're on the main drag and therefore get a lot of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Needless to say that I'll NEVER come back to this restaurant again. read more

Another Win! Server Chris took excellent care of us! He was super nice and gave us excellent service, chatting with us about the area and recent occurrences etc. They had Sculpin IPA on tap which is one of our favorites so that was more points for them. The food was tasty also with reasonable prices. The atmosphere is old west which goes with the area. Loved our time here Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Visitors here in this little town we thought this was the only place opened but to find out after no actually there is a lot of restaurants within a few blocks from one another.. this restaurant and town was used for filming back in the day so all over the walls they have all kinds of old pictures of actors and actresses all the history and nostalgia in this restaurant you can spend hours here looking around. We came on Halloween so it was cute to see people dressed up kids and adults. Everyone had on masks for the covid every other table was open. They say this is known for their hamburgers well sorry I didn't have one.. we had sandwich's I had a beefeater which was really good the bread was fresh and toasted just perfect. Husband had a patty melt he said was really good and toasted perfectly our waiter was a young man interesting fact about him he grew up in this little town and loves it here has no plans on leaving... for us that just pass by take some time and come in and visit check out all the pictures here I am sure this small town has a lot to offer I know for us we always just drive through I'm glad we stopped this time and next time we will spend a little more time catching some sites here.. u til the next time read more

Stopped by Sunday around 4pm. There was only one woman working and cooking, apparently the cook had called out. She offered to make the allegedly famous burgers for me but I felt it would be unfair to judge their burger if the chef isn't making it. Just got a beer and bounced. I'll try them again some time - note to management I'd advise having at least 3 people scheduled in case someone calls out read more

Service was a 2/10 gave off attitude being rude and also getting mad whenever we asked for something after she asked us if we needed anything else was really quick to have us pay and leave read more

I had a pretty bad experience here. It seems like a small, family restaurant and it has a cozy feel to it. However, our waitress was so rude. She acted like she was doing us a favor by serving us and answering the one question we had about a menu item. She made us feel really unwelcome. We ended up paying $30 for two burgers plus an extra 3.9% fee for paying with a credit card - which we were not warned about beforehand. In addition, our waitress did not show us the receipt until she charged our card, so we were not able to see the items on the receipt until after we had already paid. Also, the bread on my patty melt was burned and the French fries were not fresh. Overall, I recommend picking another restaurant when you're visiting Lone Pine. read more

Mt Whitney Restaurant - 3.9% fee for not paying with cash - American Near Me - Lone Pine, California

We used to enjoy this restaurant and we were truly saddened by our experience this time. We were basically sat in the corner and forgotten. There was one waitress for our side of the restaurant and as that side was full guess who got passed over...I got my iced tea and no offer of a refill....we were finished with our salads and the plates sat on the edge of the table until I stacked them with my supper plate that I had scraped my extra supper off of into the to go box...the box that I had to get up and search out the waitress for, cause once she gave us our food she certainly never came back by our table...oh wait cause she had no time...the quality of the food is the only reason they didn't get 1 star...I have to say they have maintained their delicious food but it doesn't say much when they don't have the service to go with it. read more

Food is okay. Service is always spotty, and you often have to ask repeatedly for things like extra butter or syrup, even if you asked for it when you ordered. Have eaten here several times over the years, and I'm not sure why. Nice dining area. read more

Absolutely awful. If there are more than 5 tables full run as fast as you can to Carl's Jr. Sign falsely says "Best Burgers in Town". It should say coldest burger and onion rings in town. Our server was cool but too overwhelmed with tables to provide decent enough service while ensuring cold, disappointing food. You could tell that if something more than room temp the food would have been promising but not worth the $50 for two people when Carl's is far superior and consistent. Again, you see more than 5 tables waiting for food?, then run! read more

Solid friendly staff, that even when they look like they have been worked all holiday weekend they were pleasant courteous and had great service. Had the club sandwich with fries. Solid portion with plenty of sandwich to make up for any hike you do around here. Great old western pictures on the wall. read more

We were so disappointed, this was one of our favorite places to eat in town. Not sure what happened, but breakfast was two sausage pucks, not Pattie's. They were so dry they weren't edible and under cooked, over greasy hash browns that had sat on the flat top way too long. Wait staff used to be a breath of fresh air from our city life and this time they all seemed to be grumpy. Not over worked, there were only three other tables with customers. Made we wish I would have packed some granola bars for the road. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! We got to the restaurant a little after 8 am with 2 servers and 1 other costumer in the building. They were pretty fast with giving us menus but then we were forgot about for 15 20 mins After we order our drinks and food together (We ordered black coffee and tea. ) (corn beef hash and over med eggs with chicken fried steak and eggs) We waited another 15 mins before we said something. They forgot our drinks as they are giving to go coffees and tea to other ppl. I went to the restroom and there was no toilet paper. They never checked in on us once we got our food, And we had to flag someone down to get our check.. everything was priced wrong and over the top. food was ok. WILL NOT BE COMING HERE AGAIN. terrible service and bitchy staff... read more

Brilliant old-fashioned diner crossed with a saloon. Loved the wild-west vibe and my burger (with green chili and pepper jack) was delicious. Fries were great, too. The service was a little disorganized, but my visit was still in the throes of changing COVID protocols and re-opening, and the staff did their best to keep on top of everything. There's a piano on one side of the dining area that I would love to hear someone play! It definitely seems used, not just a decoration. Half the decor highlights Mt. Whitney and rustic local life, while the rest focus on all the film stars that have stayed in the area for the huge range of movies filmed here. It's all really fun. Will definitely stop by again next time I head toward Mt. Whitney. read more
