Lunch menu

Great place for breakfast. We had two of the skillet breakfast which were delicious. The portions for breakfast were huge. Forgot to take a picture as we were hungry. Wonderful staff, they are hustling but attentive.

The regular

While waiting for the Vons pharmacy, we walked over here to get some much needed breakfast! On a Friday morning it was really busy, but we still got seated quickly. It's small inside but they really maximize the space. The food was great - I got the regular, which was eggs, hashbrowns, meat and toast. The jam they provide with the toast must be homemade because it was AMAZING. Some of the best jam I've ever had, and the hashbrowns were great as well. Solid food and excellent service, can't ask for much more than that. It's definitely worth coming by if you're in the area.

eggs & bacon with pancakes
Tina O.

First time visit. We came to Mammoth from Bridgeport for an early morning hardware & lumber run and planned on eating breakfast in town. After reviewing local restaurant Yelp reviews we chose The Stove and so very pleased we did. There is plenty of parking near and accross the street. The restrooms were clean. The staff were all wonderful, the menu extensive and wonderful seating outside. The inside tables looked great as well. We ordered a variety of skillets, denver omelette and the pancake breakfast with bacon. Everything was fabulous! We have returned since that trip for another breakfast and enjoyed the breakfast burrito and bacon and cheddar omelette both with crispy hashbrowns. Two visits, two 5 star experiences.

15% on to go orders? No warning. Ridiculous.
A W.

I ordered takeout from this restaurant over the phone, and at no point was I told that a 15% gratuity would be added to my bill. I only discovered the charge when I got to the register. I find this especially unreasonable for a to-go order, and customers should be informed of mandatory fees before they're charged--not surprised by them at checkout. For that reason, I'm leaving a 1-star review. Customers deserve transparency, and I think people should be aware of this practice before ordering.

The Stove in Mammoth Lakes is a must! The food is delicious and hearty with large servings. The service is friendly and attentive. The interior has such a fun, nostalgic charm with the wood booths, vintage kitchen wear on the walls and old tin canisters of the food products This makes the atmosphere cozy and memorable. It is the perfect spot to fuel up before a day on the slopes or after a tiring day on the slopes- highly recommend this restaurant!

Inside

I ordered two dishes during my visit: Gravy Train (with scrambled eggs) - This one felt very worth it since it comes with potatoes, bacon, and a biscuit. The fried chicken was big, well-fried, and not dry at all. I really liked it, though I felt the gravy could've been a bit hotter. Still, I'd give this dish a solid 4.5/5. Country Fried Steak - Served with gravy and potatoes, similar to the Gravy Train but with steak instead of chicken. The steak was nicely thick and very filling. There's limited parking available. I went on a Wednesday so it wasn't too crowded, but I still waited about 20 minutes.

I've been here twice. Two weeks apart to be exact. : short and sweet - it's a good breakfast spot. Service: 5/5 The first time I came it was with a group of 7. The second time I went it was only 3. We got seated quickly. They took our orders fast, food was brought out very quickly for our party size and overall I think we spent less than an hour there both times. They are good for large parties! Food: Solid for a mountain town. 5/5 * Chocolate chip pancakes with bacon,eggs, hot chocolate, and the French toast. (I would order tho again multiple times). * Everyone I went with enjoyed their meal and someone even took a whole pie home. Parking: good if they aren't busy. The first time we went the whole lot was full. The second time it was fairly easy to park. Price: would land somewhere int the 25-30 dollar range per person and that's on the higher end

Prime rib hash
David R.

People, Food, Quality, price all phenomenal! I'd eat here everyday of my life if I could! Must try and see! Can get busy just go early.

Prime rib hash
Jimmy S.

This is a very busy and popular and busy brunch place. It is known for their chicken fried steak. It was excellent and crunchy and not overwhelming with the gravy. I had the prime rib hash which was decent with the seasoned hash prime rib bits with potatoes underneath with an egg your style. The staff was very nice and attentive and service was good and the pies looked delicious but I didn't have enough stomach. The atmosphere was lively brunch and the place was bustling. It can be a little cramped but it's cozy and cute.

French Dip Deliciousness with fries
Alan P.

Group of 7 at 1:30pm 12/26/25 (they close at 2PM) and everyone opted for lunch fair. Cheeseburgers, patty melts, French dip sandwiches all cooked to perfection. 3 of us opted for soup of the day side (instead of fries) and we were treated to next level cup of flavorful meatball soup, maybe best ever?!Albóndigas deliciousness. Fries are solid, but the Zucchini Fries were plump, lightly battered and flavorful (see photo). Friendly wait staff and food arrived quickly. Only drawback, we never saw our waiter again - water glasses left empty and had to call into the kitchen (awkward) for to-go containers. Still, the kitchen staff overcame any shortcomings up front (and we arrived near closing) so we're going with 5 Stars!!

Huevos rancheros
Pete F.

I was surprised I haven't reviewed the Stove. I've been coming here for decades. The Stove is the quintessential breakfast spot. They have a wide selection of breakfast options. Portions are generous. The food is freshly prepared and tastes great. Service is also very good. Coffee is refilled without asking.

Homemade buscuit
Nishalina B.

Must try breakfast spot! Service is great; very personable. Staff was attentive. Busy, but has outside seating. I would definitely come back. Food was amazing! Veggie omelet was packed with veggies. A lot of cheese so if you don't like a lot, I would ask for less. I also asked for homemade salsa on the side, very tasty. Biscuits are homemade, nice and moist.

BLAT with BEST Fried Zucchini on the planet (:-) !!!
Danada M.

Total 5 star fun and great food. We arrived on a Sunday at prime lunch time. About a 20 minute wait to get a table and another wait to get menus but HEY...it's a SUNDAY prime lunch time, so we did not think this was unreasonable. I ordered a BLAT with fried zucchini and a large ranch dressing. Blat is a BLT with avocado. The bread slices are not huge but even though I was super hungry I I had to take half away to eat later on the road trip. The reason I couldn't eat it all was because the FRIED ZUCCHINI WAS THE BEST I'D EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I still love it even when it's just OK. But this is WONDERFUL. Why more restaurants do not offer it instead of fries I do not understand. Their "batter" HERE is spectacular and it is COOKED to PERFECTION. Please check my pictures. I will drive off 395 next time I'm near Mammoth JUST FOR THIS FRIED ZUCCHINI! Usually the ranch on the side at OTHER restaurants is not enough. It's in a small plastic container and half full. That's why I asked for a large...when my plate arrived, the ranch was in a soup cup. (:-) I was soooo tickled. That quadrupled her tip...seriously. Our waitress was awesome. I should have gotten her name to compliment her. My friend had a burger with a bunch of stuff he ordered "on the side". See the picture. His burger was pretty big and he was hungry and still took half away along with a few fries. Both our meals were GREAT. People were gushing over the PIES. You can buy whole pies as well as individual sizes they call Cutie Pies. They certainly look deliciously homemade. We should have gotten a Cutie to go. We regretted that later when we polished off our leftover meals at Topaz Lake in a turnout watching the water before our last leg home. If you live local you know The Stove...if you are passing by & looking for delicious food served by nice people in a fun casual environment, you will NOT be disappointed here. If you have the time for a nice 2 mile-ISH walk...mostly level-ISH check out the HorseShoe Lake Loop trail. I've driven 395 past Mammoth for literally 3.5 DECADES and we never took the time to stop. So this time we DID take the time and I'm thrilled we did. Don't pass Mammoth by for 35 years like I did...Go check it out and eat delicious food at The Stove!

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced. This time I tried their mac and cheese, it was cheesy and I liked the type of pasta noodle they used that allowed it to get extra crispy and crunchy with the spiral texture, however it was a little dry and on the blander side for mac! The ordering system is great and straightforward, you order and pay on your phone and then food appears straight to your table! Genius, convenient and perfect for groups as there's no splitting the bill awkwardly at the end. And the dog friendliness is so clutch, our pups always enjoy the sunshine and rest. Really great spot I would recommend in a sea of terrible touristy Mammoth dining establishments.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service we received. We will definitely be back again and hopefully the lamb will be available.
