    burger with fries
    Danielle G.

    Pretty solid joint for a nice snack off the 395. I'm preparing for a massive hike next month, so I got something relatively healthy hehe. The blackened chicken sandwich had a really good flavor to it, and was pretty delicious. I got it with the side salad and it was mediocre. The french fries here are really good though, stole some from my partner's plate. He had the burger, which he thought was just ok as well. Service was incredibly friendly, and this place is very dog friendly. I have a small Chihuahua who I considered to be my child, and they really treated him like a human, which I appreciate.

    We completed Whitney and was heading home. We stopped here for a quick to go dinner on our way out of town. Pretty solid salads and sandwiches. The staff were friendly. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Food is excellent. They have vegetarian options. Clean and tastefully decorated. The waiter was very friendly and this seems to be the nature of everyone at Lone Pine.

    Fantastic cheeseburger and crispy fries!  Cooked to order and hot out of the kitchen! Cold beer too!

    First timer here...loved it! Cute/clean restaurant, great food and service! Respectable pricing too!

    BLT & Fries
    Matt C.

    The entry is a bit confusing (one door for entry around the building from the parking lot, and one set of doors that lead to the patio for exit?) but once inside it was quiet, clean and cool. Sit wherever you want is nice, so we sat by the window. A friendly lady greeted us, took our drink order and returned shortly for our food order. The menu is sparse, mostly sandwiches and lunch options, with some salad options as well. We ordered a BLT & a patty melt, fries, onion rings & two waters. The BLT had thick cut bacon, and some of the freshest lettuce & tomatoes I've ever had. The patty melt was bland and flavorless. The fries and onion rings were good. For sandwiches, it's a little on the pricy side at $56 for two, also considering we had water to drink, so with all the other options in town, I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone passing through, but it wasn't bad. We got a cookie to go and it was super dry so maybe skip those if you go here.

    What a great experience at The Grill! The staff was amazing, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. Our waitresses, Jerry and Carlotta, were so friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was hot, fresh, and came out quickly. Everything tasted great and you could tell it was made with care. The inside was clean and super cute decor! If we ever come through town again, we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

    The Grill is the spot to go to for some yummy hooot food. They don't call this place "The Grill" for nothing. I was in town for a camping trip and my trusted Yelp App listed this local restaurant as one of the options for lunch. With the high ratings, I couldn't pass up on this foodie experience. Our waitress, Jerry, was FANTASTIC! She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the California Burgers and let me tell ya'll...sooo hot and juuuicy...perfectly cooked and seasoned. The onion rings and coleslaw were both delish. I highly recommend The Grill. It was welcoming with a laidback home-like atmosphere. The table service was tippity top of top notch :-)

    Garlic chicken with mashed potatoes
    Vic A.

    Good food. Have driven by here many a times. Decided to have an early dinner and was pleasantly impressed. Meals chosen. Started with a cup of chicken rice soup. No can used here. Savory. 1/2 rack BBQ pork ribs. Nicely seasoned fries, fresh mixed vegetables. Garlic chicken, mashed potatoes (fresh) , mixed vegetables. Dessert Homemade blackberry pie ala mode! We will be back!

    Cheese cake

    Really good service, good view of the mountains, food was good I got the jalapeño burger with onion rings. 100% recommend the cheese cake, you can tell it's home made

    Very family friendly. The wait staff was very nice. The food was great. I had a BLT and the bacon was awesome.

    A fine place for delicious food and great service. Unfortunately I didn't get the names of my lady server, the chef, and the busboy (the chef's identical twin brother) though all contributed to a wonderful meal for an extremely weary traveler who had just traversed Death Valley.

    Veggie wrap much better than it may look!

They have an outside patio in the front area as an option to dine at. It was definitely a hot day in the high 90's, so it wasn't an option for us to sit out there today. Although they did have misters on which was a nice touch. We walked in to a busy place and there were only two tables available, so we sat down right away. It took a while for us to get our menu's, but we can see it was busy. Our server was really nice and once we ordered our food, it was served pretty quickly! I ordered the Ironman Scramble with the Cheddar Jalapeño bread which the bread was so delicious! I also ordered a refreshing Peach Iced Tea. My husband ordered the Alabama Hills Bacon Cheese Burger and a Strawberry Lemonade. We were both very happy with our meals and even ordered a Cinnamon Roll to go! All the baked goods looked amazing too.

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.

Whitney. We had looked at the menu online and had an idea of what we wanted in advance, nope. Out of: the elk, all lamb, trout, and the filets- we ended up with two orders of top sirloin. I had mine with the mushrooms and my husband had his with the green peppercorn sauce- I guess you can still have the sauces even though the meat is gone. The steaks were ok, I definitely did not get what I wanted and probably wouldn't have stayed if I had known just how bad it would be. I did see others walk out, and people that ordered after me were not happy. There's a really easy way to fix this- daily paper menus with what you actually have. Maybe even update them as things run out. Just cross stuff out. Let the guests know up front. If I had known how limited it was, I wouldn't have ordered a drink and eaten the tasty bread roll. Service wasn't that great either- the person that brought the drinks was very friendly, but otherwise our waiter was pretty inattentive. I had the Bees Knees which I enjoyed, I ordered a glass of red to go with the steak, and that didn't show up till I was well into my meal. Weirdly, I would give this place another shot, but would order before even sitting down. That way when I am told that all I can get is a steak that I'm not that interested in, I'll go somewhere else. Or eat at the bar, have a decent drink and leave when you see how dire the menu selection is.

Now I don't know if this is intentional or just an, "Oopsie doodle! We forgot to update the prices across the board!" But I'm seeing it at both independent and corporate owned places, and frankly, I'm growing tired of the increasing lack of integrity and no longer being able to trust a business. In this particular instance yesterday (Sunday, June 14th), after a lovely day up at the Whitney Portal, hubs and I wanted to grab some dinner before our long drive home. He went to high school in LP 30+ years ago, and Lone Pine's Pizza Factory holds a special, nostalgic place in his heart. We often grab some grub here on every visit. This time we ordered a medium fountain drink and a large "Custom Calzone" with onions, artichokes, meatballs, and sausage, along with a medium soda. The menu, next to the cash register, advertises it for $20.55 "with your choice of 4 toppings" to-go. The total came to $29.48, including a $2 tip, and I didn't think much of it after an exhausting day of high-altitude hiking. The young male employee, appearing to be of high school age, asked if I would like the receipt, and out of reflex I said, "yes, please." He was polite, friendly, and attentive. He even spelled my name correctly on the receipt (bonus points)! Employee #1: 5 stars While waiting for our order, I decided to add-on the salad bar (we love a salad bar where we can prepare it ourself!). The veggies all appeared fresh, the ones we ate tasted fresh, and the salad bar area was clean and tidy despite the busy restaurant and lots of kids running around. Salad bar: 5 stars As I was standing in line behind the customer in front of me placing her order, I glanced at the receipt and noticed the $23.00 charge for the large calzone. This caught my attention, because before our first order, we planned to order a pizza. But their pizza prices seemed exorbitant to us. Now, we do understand that Lone Pine is in a remote area, and it's not a chain restaurant, so cost of doing business is more than the average cost for a corporate chain. We expect the prices to be higher than the city, but $30 for a medium pizza is too steep. So we opted for the calzone instead ($20.55), which offered more than enough food for us and enough for today's lunch. We don't mind spending money if the value is there, and while their pizza has always turned out tasty for us, the price seems way too high for a medium pizza...in our humble opinion. Pricing/value: 3 stars It was my turn to order, and this time I was assisted by another young man, but appearing to be a few years older than the last. I let him know that I already had an order in for a calzone, and that I wanted to add on a salad to-go, but I noticed a price discrepancy on my receipt. He took a look at it for a moment, and then responded that because I ordered beef (meatball) and sausage, that it costs a little more. I pointed out that nowhere on the menu does it state there is a premium price on any of the items, and that the "Custom Calzone" allows up to "4 items," without any exceptions or premium prices advertised. He acknowledged my concerns, but ultimately said that $23.00 is the correct price for the large calzone. I let him know that this is deceptive and false advertising, and I was not satisfied about this experience. In an attempt to make things right, he offered me the salad bar at no cost. I appreciated the gesture and accepted it, and I let him know that the menus need to be updated to reflect accurate pricing. He agreed and apologized for the mix up. He was polite, though a little misinformed (by stating that the calzone cost more "because of the meat"), and he did attempt to right this wrong. However, I wasn't looking for a free item. I would've gladly paid for the salad; I just wanted transparent pricing. Employee #2: 4 stars (could've been 5 stars if not for the wrong reason over "premium topping charge") Overall, the customer service was good, the employees were professional and friendly, the restaurant & restroom was clean (considering how busy it was and compared to many other previous visits)...they were doing the best they could. Our food also came out promptly and just as we ordered, so no complaints there. Let me be clear: this was NOT an employee problem. This IS a management problem that needs to be corrected promptly! If replacing the old menus is too costly, then put a big sign up at the cash register or something equivalent. Don't scam & deceive the customer in hopes that they don't catch it! BE TRANSPARENT! Calzone (presentation/taste): 5 stars Inaccurate menu price vs actual charge: 1 star :-(
