    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.

    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

    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.

    BLT & Fries

    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!

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

    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 :-)

    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!
    Cindy R.

    This is a great place! The food is very good, lots of choices and so fresh. It's a very relaxed place to chill out whether you are on a long drive or hanging out in Lone Pine! Thank you Bobby for the great service and for your smile and relaxed attitude. We will be back :) I need a better photo next time!

    Beautiful view from The Grill

    We had a great casual lunch today on our way home from Mammoth Mountain at The Grill. Our turkey club sandwich was delicious and the service was perfect. Stop by The Grill for a nice meal break when you're driving on the 395.

    Short: A fantastic dinner spot in the heart of Lone Pine--friendly service, tasty food, and a great selection of homemade desserts! Long: Lone Pine has some excellent dining options, and The Grill is definitely one of them. I had the California burger, which was packed with flavor, and the homemade fries were a perfect side. For dessert, the homemade cheesecake with berries was rich and delicious. The service was warm and welcoming, and our waiter had a great sense of humor. A great place to relax and enjoy a sit-down meal!

    My friend and I were driving down the US-395, so we stopped here for lunch. Service was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and personable, coming to check if we needed anything multiple times. We ordered the Salmon Patty Topped with an Egg and Salmon Caesar Salad. It was a good portion and we were full at the end. Everything was great; only thing that I noticed was that the tables are rather sticky.

    We have taken our dog before and been seated on the patio. No problems what so ever and the waitress enjoyed interacting with our dog.

    We planned on going to the Alabama Cafe which we did on our trip up to Mammoth but they had a wait…read moreon our way down from the mountain so we walked over to the Totem Cafe. Although they weren't as busy as the Alabama cafe my husband and I found their food and the atmosphere to be great and actually much better than the Alabama Cafe. I ordered a vegetable omelette. The veges were plentiful and sautéed just right with a great flavor. I asked for a side of salsa and it was super good, obviously homemade and fresh. It came with home fried potatoes which were from freshly sliced potatoes (not frozen) and they were also seasoned perfectly. In addition i substituted fresh fruit for toast and it came with fresh cantaloupe, pineapple and berries, all sweet and delicious. ( Alabama cafe wouldn't allow for substitutes) My husband ordered ham and eggs and he said it was really good as it was a nice thick ham steak and again, great flavor. The cafe felt cozy and comfortable with lots of antique decor to check out. They also sell jars of honey that i plan on buying next time. We will be back for sure on our next trip to mammoth and I hope this review will draw attention to Totems as their food was great and they deserved the review.

She came back and said in fact they don't serve Margarita's. She said she had no idea, and that she didn't even live in the area. What does where she lives have anything to do with anything? I don't want to be mean, but ?? I ordered the 1/2 rack of these "Famous Ribs." My hubby the Flat Iron steak. We asked for salads as the choice instead of soup. 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.

It's super cute. They have a big menu with all kinds of food. I was excited to see vegan and gluten-free options. I got a Kung pao tofu which was delicious and my mom got one of the specials, teriyaki which the waitress happily helped her choose. The servings were large. An older man, I don't know if he was the manager or owner, stop by to check on us and chat with us several times as he was doing with other people in the restaurant, very friendly. We both needed to-go bags and ate it as our lunch the next day. I also got a nice sake to go with my meal. It was a super memorable dinner and definitely recommend to anyone. in fact, I recommended it to some hikers the next day.

    This is a very popular spot in Lone Pine with a very popular complaint-they run out of everything…read more We arrived on a weekday at 6:15, fairly busy, but we got one of the coveted booths with the view of Mt. 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.
