Wandering around The Village and looking for a spot to eat, that was open, and ended up here when we saw the offered food. The food was really good! We had tacos, which was on puffy naan like bread, pizza, and the tostada. We were super pleasantly surprised on how tasty all the food was. And they kindly allowed me a few tests tried to figure out what I wanted to order as a beverage. Order via the QR code on the table, then wait for the food to come to you. I will say that the food took longer than expected, but we'd return.

Beet drink
Vanesa R.

We have always passed this place when we were in the area but never went in. Came into town for a quick meal and decided to stop by and glad we did. As you enter you are greeted by someone and then it's open seating and you basically scan the QR code and order thru your phone and pay as well it's easy and convenient. The food options are great and their food is Delicious. Simple concept but very well put together. We had their Beet Salad and their Pizza along with their Pork Belly taco and every bite was satisfying and full of flavor. The salad was the win for me I love a good beet salad, the dressing it was tossed in was just perfection along with the goat cheese. For their drinks I had a Beet infused drink and well it was different but just worked and was strong & also tried a local beer. You order your food and then a server just comes and drops off and if you need anything you just look their way and they help out. The servers were very friendly the ones bringing out the food, it was kind of a bummer toward the end, I always say the staff make the visit enjoyable or not and that can def hinder people from coming back. A simple question was asked about the merch and the answer was just rude.. there was a Main lady by the register and she just didn't have the friendliest vibe or smile at all. We left kinda confused but the food was great and that doesn't change the food review and the vibes here. There was an indoor and outdoor seating and cool views to people watch and loved that it was Dog friendly so many cute pups. They had these mixed drinks in can and Lemme tell you they were AMAZING we took them back to our campsite and was the perfect drink to just hang with. Can't wait to pick some up again.

Shrimp taco
Breanna A.

Came here our first night for dinner, Glad to see some vegan friendly options! Seating is self serve and order via QR code at the tables. We started with the maple whiskey sour and polar berries and the hummus plate, the basil hummus was my favorite. For mains we sutured the swear potato taco, shrimp taco and tempura California roll; and I tried their seasonal cider. Everything was great, sushi was huge so definitely meant to share. Great spot for lunch or dinner, lots of space for meet ups, and ample TVs to watch some games!

Its not fair to not give 5 stars because of the hardworking employees and quality of food that they offer in Mammoth but ill be very honest before I start talking about food... This place is very too busy and its better to try to get a table before walking. We were lucky to get a table because a family were finished when we arrived but they were so many people with small kids waiting for long. The other thing, they were overstaffed and their menu was a barcode that we were supposed to scan but the problem was it wasnt detailed menu! For example, we didnt know if the burger comes with potatoes or steak sandwich how it'll be cooked! Or the beer, most of the items were out they only had two flavor and all fruity! So it was hard to fond someone to ask questions. Waiting time was so long and the food didn't come together! Ambiance is chill distilling one but the busy one and we were here in mid week and not in any events/ or christmas or etc...But still it was busy and getting table on time is 50/50. About food, the salmon glaze was so delicious and didnt taste frozen...The veggies were beautifully marinated...It wasnt a big portion and it was about$30. But, the taste was so good... the tripple burger was well cooked and well seasoned as steak sandwich but i wished they were fries...They dont have fries and in my opinion and for our taste, fries with burger is must...Bit overall was good... The experience was ok but the food was good...

Mulling it over hot cocktail
Holly M.

This is our second visit to Shelter Distilling in the last year. We just stopped in for an appetizer and drink. We typically like sitting at the bar but bar seats were full so we opted for a table rather than wait. There are both high top and low top seating available as well as bar seating against the windows and fermentation silos. There is also seating outdoors if weather permits. The tables use a bar code scanning system to order food and drinks, then a person will deliver the food. I'm okay with this but I can see why some people would be frustrated with this process. For the appetizer we ordered the POBLANO ARTICHOKE DIP - $16 Artichoke, Poblano Chile, Corn, Cheddar, Colby Jack, Parmesan, Garlic, Mayonnaise, Sour Cream, Cream Cheese. Warmed and served with Pita bread or chips. We elected for the tortilla chips. This is a tasty appetizer and the perfect size for two people. For drinks we ordered two different hot cocktails served almost like a hot tea. Mulling it over - $17 Glass Creek Vodka, Mulled Spice Juice, Lemon. This was quite good and had a little bit of sweetness. The second was The Hot Toddy. $17. American Single Malt Whiskey, Lemon, Honey, Ginger. This tasted a little stronger and no sweetness. Do I think the drinks are a little expensive , yes. But sadly that is what you come across in a ski village. Personally I was a little shocked at how many families with young children were at the distillery but I've noticed that in almost every bar or brewery in Mammoth. Another good but different experience at Shelter Distilling.

Poblano Artichoke Dip $16
Cyn K.

Overview: not much real service, cool place for sharing appetizers, expensive mixed drinks ---- How it works: - scan a QR code at the table and everyone can individually order and close out their own checks - at first I wasn't a big fan of this way of ordering but if you're with a group of people it makes it really convenient to pay instead of having to split the bill and calculate different totals ---- Our favorite dishes were the shishito peppers, the artichoke dip, and the volcano roll Blistered Sesame Shishito Peppers $11: - the flavor of the ginger soy sauce was so good, nice tang and savoriness - the peppers were seasoned well and the char added a smoky depth of flavor - I also enjoyed the nuttiness of the sesame seeds Poblano Artichoke Dip $16: - dip is made of artichoke, poblano chile, corn, cheddar, colby jack, parmesan, garlic, mayo, sour cream, and cream cheese - very creamy and rich, good amount of seasoning and salty enough - very comforting dish, served warmed and with slices of pita - my favorite part is the layer of caramelized cheese on the top Volcano Roll $23: - california roll topped with scallops, red and green tobiko, topped with sriracha, spicy mayo, eel sauce, and chives - I love sauce so this roll was perfect with the 3 sauces loaded on it - it's a basic california roll, but elevated with the scallops and fish eggs ---- Shelter Nachos $15: - not enough avocado - pretty basic, I'd order something more unique if you come here Hummus Plate $18: - probably one of the healthier options - also pretty basic - 3 different hummuses: roasted red pepper hummus, basil hummus, and traditional hummus - comes with slices of pita, cucumber, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and olives - I'd like more tomatoes and cucumber ---- Minus one star for service - they weren't that friendly or welcoming - it was basically self service for everything like water, utensils, extra plates, and napkins - the only interactions were them bringing what we ordered to the table ---- Notes: - not really any street parking, especially when it's busy so we parked in paid lot walking distance away - more brewery ambiance than a restaurant ambiance - I liked the dimmer, warm lighting and seeing the machinery behind the bar ---- Overall: Nice place for appetizers and mixed drinks (a little expensive, but so is the rest of mammoth haha) it's a great if you're with a group of people and want to try out different dishes. My recommendations are the blistered shishito peppers and the artichoke dip!

Two of our delicious beers!
Sara D.

We only came for the beer as the other breweries were packed on a Saturday afternoon. It was more of a distillery, but had a few beers on tap. They were cold and delicious, especially after a hike. The food did look amazing though.

Ahi tostadas
Kassandra I.

Beautiful distillery! Very efficient ordering process and helpful staff. You can order directly at the counter or by scanning the QR code at the tables. Plenty of seating! The ahi tostadas were delicious and had a little kick to them. The Pepperoncini martini was okay. It was very spirit forward (which I know is expected from a martini), but left me wanting more pepperoncini and pickle flavor based on the name. Overall, good food at a reasonable price.

Hot Chocolate
Allie G.

We visited Shelter Distilling for dinner and found it very busy. Seating was self-serve and we were able to snag a table just as another party was leaving. The vibe inside was industrial but still cozy, with a large chandelier and nice live music. We ordered right from the table (Toast QR Code), which was convenient. All three of us got Hot Chocolates to warm up, which were actually delicious. I was especially impressed by the house-made whipped cream. For food, we shared an order of Fried Cheese Curds, which were awesome. I wish they had come with ranch too, not just ketchup. I was starving, so I ordered both the Beet Salad and Spicy Tuna Hand-roll. Both were just fine. The beets were the best part of the salad, but it wasn't anything memorable. The Hand-roll was filling, but they went pretty heavy on the spicy mayo. My friends also said their food was good, but nothing mind-blowing. Overall, this place was just solid for dinner and service was quick.

Midnight margaritas and an old fashion
Nataly A.

Great environment! The waiter was great with information. Service exceptional. Food was amazing!! So much flavor. The drinks were amazing. They had bottles on had had to grab a few. Highly recommend this place.

Grilled salmon not worth the price. Very small fish
Anastaciomarcos M.

​My primary issue with this establishment occurs before you even receive your meal: the digital ordering system demands a gratuity upfront. Expecting customers to tip before they have evaluated the service or even laid eyes on their food is a highly objectionable business practice. This policy is especially frustrating when the subsequent service and food quality fail to justify that forced investment. As out-of-town visitors, we found the pub completely unaccommodating. There were zero instructions on how to order, making it feel exclusively geared toward locals who already know the routine. We had to flag down a staff member wiping tables outside just to learn we needed to scan a QR code. The service we received after being forced to tip was incredibly disappointing. Our beet salad arrived first, but the runner dropped it off and vanished so quickly that we couldn't ask for a second silverware setting. Since we intended to share the salad, we had to wait. The salmon plate didn't arrive until roughly 15 minutes later. When we finally managed to ask our waiter for the extra silverware, he treated a basic hospitality request as a major inconvenience. Getting a simple fork felt like pulling teeth. The value for the price is simply not there. The grilled salmon plate was remarkably small--well under three ounces of fish. To make matters worse, the accompanying vegetables consisted of literally three skinny asparagus spears and two even thinner carrots. Between the aggressive upfront tipping, the small portion fish size, and the dismissive attitude of the staff, this establishment has massive room for improvement. I am leaving a two-star rating in hopes that management will reconsider their ordering system and address these glaring service deficiencies.

Ahi tuna
Elba G.

Service is non existent, not because it's bad but because you order through your phone and pay through your phone. Place is your typical gastropub brewery set up with tons of tables and spacious seating. I liked the food, just found it to be expensive for literally no reason. Also I HAAAAAATE that you can order whatever on the menu and it will cancel items for you (after you confirmed the order) without notice. My families dinner came out but my partner was missing their dish. I was able to flag someone down and asked about it and their lousy response was "oh the online order came through but we cancelled the French dip because we sold out". I asked them when we would be notified and the server said it doesn't...... so my family waited for my partners dish to come out and everything was cold by then... very unpleasant experience. 2.5/5

Chicken nachos
Darlene V.

So surprised with how good this place is. Not a fan of the restaurants at The Village but we were in need of place where we could bring in a stroller. The nachos with chicken were very flavorful and well packed with protein. Specialty pizza was really good too. Seasonal drinks were fun! So glad we stopped here. Ambiance was fun, would love to come back!

Anyone know what the ingredients in their bright green gin cocktail? It was topped with a cucumber and really tasty. Trying to recreate at home.

Ravioli Bolognese: The standout dish. Rich, meaty, satisfying, and exactly the kind of homemade pasta dish that makes this place worth visiting. Pepperoni Pizza: Excellent crust, good char, and crispy pepperoni cups. Simple and really well executed. This is genuinely good pizza, not just good pizza for a mountain town. Caesar: One of the more unusual Caesars I've had. It arrived with essentially whole heads of lettuce, celery, and a homemade crunchy component that reminded us of a savory funnel cake. The homemade dressing was excellent. Different, fun to share, and memorable. Pasta: This is where Vulcania really shines. Everything tastes homemade, and I'd be comfortable ordering just about any pasta on the menu. Chicken Parmesan: Pretty good overall, with a creamy, rich sauce over the top. It was a little too heavy for me, but everyone else at the table loved it. Meatball: I would skip this dish. The meatball was undercooked and felt like it was lacking a binding ingredient. One thing worth knowing is that the kitchen isn't particularly flexible about modifying dishes. That makes sense for a chef-driven restaurant, but it's worth considering if you have picky eaters or prefer lots of substitutions. Overall, Vulcania is still the best pizza and pasta we've had in Mammoth. The handmade pasta is the real draw, the pizza is excellent, and dishes like the Caesar give the menu enough personality to make it more interesting than standard Italian-American food.

No other business does this on Reddit. First, service is very slow and pretty haughty. I had to wait 30 minutes for a simple pesto chicken crepe. It tasted disgusting. I got the apple dessert crepe. It was full of little cubes of raw apple that just fell out of the crepe. There was barely any cinnamon or sugar in it. I also got the pesto crepe. There was a splash of pesto and a couple little pieces of chicken. 90% of the crepe is the bread or galette or whatever. The rest (which isn't much) is just thrown in there. At $16 each, this was a complete ripoff, even worse than the usual Mammoth ripoff. The ambiance is pretty good though and they have a nice wine bar area. I could see this place being good for breakfast, but it's not worth spending any more of my money there.

Finally, one of us walked to the bar to ask to pay and told the bartender the server didn't know what he was doing. Her response was "it's only his second shift." I mean, ok, if he'd let us know that and apologized for lapses we would have been understanding- or if he'd had an experienced server training him he wouldn't have been the weeds - but even calling it the weeds is generous because it wasnt busy. We said, "ok, it's his second shift but you should know he's doing a terrible job" - as was evidenced by the tables around us who were similarly struggling to order and get their bills. The bartender's response was to shrug, roll her eyes and say "he's trying" while she walked away. If you're charging $30+ for entrees, and people are paying $15+ per drink, we expect more than trying. Oof, if you're treating locals like this, it's gonna be a long shoulder season.
