It's pretty sad to see a local small business doing such dishonest thing. I also noticed their payment machine is running under Test mode, which means they are also lying to their payment vendor so they would get charged less by the payment network. Can't say I am surprised. Food is just average, I would rather eat at McDonald's next door if I knew these people are so sneaky.

The location was clean and tidy and the staff were reasonably friendly so that's why it wasn't a 1 star but really that's the only good in this experience. I've had the misfortune of encountering some unpleasant locals from Lone Pine on recent trips, bitter about tourists (who literally provide them with their income and business potential), and after trying most of the restaurants in town, I would be happy to see all of them fail. It's the same business model across the board - mediocre to straight up bad food, crazily overpriced, and zero attempt at service with a smile because if you're there and you're eating and you're not from there, then you're captive and they can deliver whatever they want which is usually minimal effort. The BBQ was $70. For two people. It consisted of two to-go boxes, one with brisket, a baked potato, and some Mac n cheese, the other with brisket & pulled pork, a baked potato & the saltiest baked beans I've ever tasted, two pieces of soggy cornbread, some spicy bbq sauce, butter packets and utensils. The brisket was all fat. The pulled pork had no flavor. The beans tasted like salt, and the bread was soggy. For $70. No drinks, no dessert. We had actually come to Lone Pine this time with a cooler and our own food with zero intention of buying food from the many awful restaurants in town, but after a long hike decided to try the barbecue. What a mistake. I can't wait for private equity to move in and turn Main Street into a strip mall of chain restaurants and hotels. At least then, the food might be worth the money.

The pie was served ice cold and the 10yr old who was waiting on us forgot to warm the pie, forgot I ordered a chocolate sundae, forgot our drink order, forgot we needed utensils to eat and basically didn't know anything he was being asked to do. The whole experience was insane. The decor was dark and dingy and the A/C was barely on. It was hot and muggy inside. Save your money and just go somewhere else.

The portions felt just okay for the price, but it was definitely nice having a spot to get Chinese food kind of in the middle of nowhere. We brought it with us for our Whitney camping trip, and it was really nice to have a hot meal out there. I also liked that the dishes come with rice, which made the portions feel more complete. The noodles were a little overcooked for me, and the beef and broccoli had a bit too much soy sauce, but overall it was a solid option for the area and convenient for takeout.

We wait and wait...starving after having hiked all over the Alabama Hills. It is customary to get the salad ahead of time, but this young lady was doing other things. Suddenly after 15 min. we got our meals with no salad. She was getting ready to walk away when I asked about the salads. She went and got them not really concerned about it, and was not really understanding. So onto these ribs! I'm traumatized by these things that were so overcooked and dry. What on earth was done to these things? It seems they were boiled, then frozen, then defrosted, and microwaved? Who knows!! I do know this. I have been making ribs for a long time. For the love of God you don't need to kill the pig 15 times! My hubbies Flat Iron Steak was alright. Not completely hideous. Needless to say, there are not many choices in the Lone Pine. This is not a choice I would ever venture to again if in the area.

We ordered a half pepperoni, half ham pizza along with garlic bread. The pizza came out pretty quickly, but our garlic bread never arrived. We waited a bit thinking it might still be coming, and when I finally asked about it, they realized the order hadn't gone through. They made it right away. The pizza was really good! One thing I appreciated was that they didn't skimp on the pepperoni--there was plenty on every slice. The crust was delicious too. I also got to watch a young lady in the back tossing the pizza dough by hand, which was very cool. The restaurant could have been a little cleaner, but the staff seemed busy. Overall, the service was friendly, the food was enjoyable, and I'd definitely stop here again the next time I'm passing through Lone Pine.

The medium "awesome combo" pizza we ordered had pepperoni, salami, Italian sausage, bell peppers, white onion, and black olives. It was $38. For a MEDIUM. It looked terrible in the box, like not presentable at all, and it tasted pretty average. The restaurant itself was very dimly lit, the menus were all missing pages, tables were dirty, and while the guy behind the counter who rang us up was friendly, everyone else on staff just gave out dirty looks. I would say if you really need a pizza in Lone Pine, save the cash and go get a DiGiorno from the market.

She politely tried to place her order and explained she has allergies and needed a few items removed from her burger. Instead of being helped, she was dismissed and barely given the chance to speak. When her food came out, it had cheese on it--something she specifically asked to be removed due to an allergy. When she brought it to their attention, the employee snatched the burger from her hands and threw it in the trash in a very rude manner. My daughter also witnessed them carelessly throwing the ingredients onto the bun while remaking her order, which was very concerning given her allergy. When the corrected order was ready, it was simply slid across the counter without a single word. I went inside to address the situation and asked to speak to a manager, only to find out the person who treated my daughter this way was the manager on duty an older Hispanic male. This is completely unacceptable. No child or any customer should be treated with such disrespect, especially when communicating a food allergy. My daughter was nearly in tears. This experience was upsetting and unprofessional.
