The elk chops were amazing. The ribeye was ok. The cool part was that the server is your cook also. We were sat by the grill and enjoyed watching the food being prepared. Overall, it was very enjoyable. Solid place to eat.
Another great dining experience at The Mogul Restaurant. We had a party of 8 adults. Our reservation was for 5:30pm and we were sat right away. Our server Miguel was fantastic. Very friendly, smiled, super attentive. We were never left waiting for service throughout the evening. We all ordered drinks. My dirty martini was made properly and served ice cold. My husband And I both ordered the filets. My filet was cooked perfectly medium and my husband's was served perfect medium rare. The baked potatoes were baked nicely as well. It came with a vegetable side of asparagus and carrots. They were steamed and okay. They were not seasoned that we could tell. Unfortunately our friend's New York steak was tough and they didn't finish it. Everyone else seamed to like their meal. Dinner was solid and served in a timely manner and service excellent.
The mogul was decent! Not as fine dining as I think we were originally lookin for, but the food was great and the experience was just as good. I had the prime rib which was delicious as well as some scallops and other steaks served at the table. Our waiter was very good and attentive, even if he spilled a bit of our $300 champagne. No harm no foul. If you're lookin for upscale, this isn't necessarily the place. Mogul has more of a "under the radar steakhouse" feel to it, with Americana vibes.
There were three of us for my older boy's birthday, and we had superb food, service, drinks, and atmosphere. And the manager was especially nice to the birthday boy. We would happily return if ever in this area again.
My buddy and I had The Mogul on our first night skiing in Mammoth this past season. I would never denigrate this excellent restaurant by comparing it to wannabe joints like Tahoe Joe's but only to say that The Mogul is what TJ's tries to emulate. But this place is the real deal and authentic Sierra dining. The staff are incredibly kind and friendly. Their menu is straight-forward and simple to navigate without too many options: These are the best kinds of restaurants. I went with their famous prime rib and even scored the last end-cut of the night. It was nicely seasoned and expertly cooked. My friend got the elk - one of the specials that evening. It was equally tasty. The blackberry pie for dessert rounded off an excellent meal. Looking forward to my next Mammoth ski trip and dining here after a long day on the slopes.
Karen is the best! She made our dinner such a wonderful experience. Everyone who works there is incredibly kind, and you can tell they truly value great customer service. The wine selection is excellent, and they start you off with warm bread that's absolutely delicious. I ordered the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and really hit the spot. For my entrée, I had the filet and shrimp with Gorgonzola sauce--everything was cooked perfectly, and the portions were very generous. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!
Mogul's is a true classic gem in Mammoth lakes! Taylor and David provided a very warm welcoming family vibe. We both had the elk which was on special and so tasty and tender. The artichoke appetizer was very delicious. So glad I chose this place, will come back next season.
Love the food! Love the vibe! The scallops were right on the spot. The lemon dill butter sauce further elevates the flavor. I enjoyed dipping the veggies in that sauce too. My husband's steak was perfectly cooked to our liking. It's our first time trying this cut. Has a strong beefy flavor. Quite nice. The bread was soooo good too! We loved our server lady who's also the grill master!!! How amazing is that!!! Will def go back when we visit Mammoth again.
We went here 4 years ago when I proposed to my wife and now we're back for my birthday. Negatives: -price; the prices are a little higher, but the portions are good and the food is amazing. Positives: -taste; we got the elk chop special and the pork chop. The elk chops were amazingly tender and barely gamey. The only time I had elk was elk jerky, so this was definitely a first for me. I'm glad I gave it a try because it was one of the best cuts of meat that I've ever had. My wife's pork chop was really good too, it was very tasty and moist. -service; our server David was very friendly, responsive, and he made sure we were completely satisfied. -ambiance; it was like a cabin homey and a place you'll want to be to hide from the cold. Overall 5/5 They gave me a sundae for my birthday and sang too. I left 100% satisfied and based on this time I would definitely return earlier than 4 years next time
Made a reservation when it opened for dinner. We were greeted with warm smile. Felt right at home. We were seated promptly. The waitress was knowledgeable about the daily specials and was super courteous. We ordered the Artichoke Dip and I ordered the Rib Eye. Both were excellent. The Rib Eye wa perfectly made to order. Definitely, a great place to eat when visiting Mammoth.
We chose to come here for dinner purely due to the location. This was literally across the street from where we were staying. The place was packed, fortunately we did not have to wait long for a table either since there was only the 2 of us. We got seated within 10 minutes. Waitress immediately came by to take our order (again not a long wait). I ordered the pork chop and rice pilaf and my fiancé had the prime rib and mashed potatoes. Fresh baked bread was also brought to the table - which was amazing. Everything we had was amazing! From the speed of the service to the quality of the food and the rustic vibe from the restaurant. We loved every bit of it.
My family and I had a lovely dinner here at Mogul while in Mammoth. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff were personable and gracious. Everyone chose cocktails and beer to start and my margarita was fabulous. For dinner we all chose the grilled and marinated chicken with mash potatoes and veggies, I had the (fish of the day) halibut with a lemon dill sauce with the mashed potatoes and veggies. And the key lime pieeee, was amazing. Wow! The portion sizes were perfect, my fish was cooked to perfection and the others were happy with their chicken dishes. I liked that you could choose from a couple sauce selections to customize. Over all very nice dinner here! read more

Came here after reading all of the great reviews. Love an old school steakhouse vibe with lots of locals...so it seemed like a great place. We were seated pretty fast and the hostesses were very nice and on it. After being sat...it took a while for our server to show up. Once he arrived..he was really nice. The food was less than exciting. The filet was cold and lacked flavor. The mashed potatoes were just meh... I originally ordered trout but by the time my order was put in..they had run out...soo I got the chicken. Big mistake. It's soo bland and boring. It says it's marinated ...but it didn't taste like anything...It had a dipping juice which was meh... The asparagus was actually cooked nicely..but also lacked any flavor..it was literally dry. Super disappointing after a long drive. read more

Been here a couple times now, and overall the restaurant is decent but not special. The prime rib is always a lock. The ribeye is also solid with nice char lines. Cocktails are decent. Had to wait 10+ min for our table despite reservations though. They don't really rotate their menu much - their specials are exactly the same as one year ago. Bottom line: if you're feeling a solid steak or prime rib, Mogul is nice and is above avg for what you'll find in Mammoth. read more

MY KIDS ATE GOOD HERE! This is an OG Mammoth family owned restaurant and my in-laws loved it and so we brought our kids to try it and also got our stamp of approval. PROS: - prime rib medium rare was cooked perfectly. Mashed potatoes were rich and broccoli side flavorful - lobster tail dinner (1 for $50 and $2 for $89) was succulent and delicious w/ the melted butter. Baked potato w/ butter sour cream was basic. - free bread basket came hot and fresh and my kids ate it up (even with the herbs baked in it) - kids meal pasta (red sauce) was a big portion and my kiddos devoured it (picture is proof lol) - special appetizer was whole steamed artichoke and it was yum - bottle of wine was priced great not too hiked up like other spots - service was A++ our guy was very attentive and friendly. The bussers always came by to clear the table - restroom was clean and they had a baby changing table FTW! CONS: - nada nothing! We'll definitely be regulars here on our family vacations. Thank you for a wonderful dinner service! read more
AMAZING restaurant experience in Mammoth Lakes! This is one of the best steak places I have tried!! We had drinks first, then an appetizer, followed by the main courses (Check photos). Our server and griller Chef, Karen, is amazing as well! The Restaurant has an intimate atmosphere, the restroom is clean, and everyone in the restaurant, from the host/hostess to the busser to the server, is welcoming and knowledgeable about the food. read more

The service was great, the food took a normal amount of time and we had no wait for a table. It was a nice and romantic dinner! The only set back was the steak, it wasn't very flavorful and it definitely wasn't med rare... I had to add A1 sauce and I never do that but everything else was amazing especially the lobster. I forgot the kind of fish my husband ordered but he enjoyed it! read more

Finding an INSECT in my food was beyond disgusting. Once that happened, the entire table lost their appetite. The dish was taken away, but the manager kept asking if I wanted something else -- as if I would still be comfortable eating from the same kitchen after that. When I explained why I wasn't comfortable, the manager became defensive and mostly just stared at me instead of offering a solution. We were then told there was "nothing that could be done because it's in the vegetables," which is not reassuring at all. Vegetables still need to be properly washed and inspected. To make matters worse, my friends were still expected to pay for food they could barely touch. No apology, no accountability, and no effort to make things right. The entire interaction felt uncomfortable and dismissive. The outdated carpet throughout the restaurant didn't help--especially after finding a bug in my food. Carpet in a dining area feels like a red flag when it comes to cleanliness. read more

We came to The Mogul Restaurant on Christmas Day without reservation and within the last hour before closing. We were very thankful to the host and waiter who served us. We wouldn't have known where to dine. The food was delicious and ambiance had a lovely cabin feel inside. Highly recommend. read more
