The Bacon & Blue Burger was incredibly well put together and paired perfectly with their crispy fries. I also tried the Arugula Salad, which was really good, although I would've swapped the goat cheese for feta if I had read the description more closely. The welcoming atmosphere and beautiful hand-painted artwork featuring local landmarks made this the perfect post-hike stop. Exactly the kind of meal I needed after 3 days on the trail!

So we ordered a burger, grilled cheese, beef empanada, and their chicken sandwich. Burger, fries, grilled cheese, and chicken sandwich were good, but the beef empanada was not. The beef empanada was a dry ground beef empanada with no cheese filling (it says it contains mozzarella) and was only made edible by the chimichurri it comes with. I tried to order a Michelada and the waitress looked offended which is wild considering this is a brewery. Food 8/10 Service 8/10

Amazing food. We just had the chips and salsa and split a club sandwich. First of all, the chips…read moreand green salsa were so delicious. The chips were clearly just fried and were not greasy at all. Perfection. The sandwich was one of the best we've had in years. And the fries were the best we've ever had. Crispy outside, perfectly tender inside. Awesome! Just wished we lived closer...then again, maybe not. We'd eat here all the time!

Honestly, I'm baffled by the 4.9 rating because our experience at Indiego was genuinely terrible…read more It took an entire hour to get a surf & turf burrito, a side salad, and fish tacos. And unfortunately, the wait was not worth it. The fish tacos were extremely dry and overcooked, with barely any salsa on top. The carne asada in the burrito was full of gristle and had a strange, almost off-putting smoky flavor that made the whole thing difficult to eat. THE BURRITO WAS $30!! The meal all together was $70 and we got robbed. ROBBED. The service itself was okay, and I will give credit where it's due: the cook actually came out and asked if we liked our food. I was honest and told him we didn't. He took the feedback with a positive attitude, which I genuinely appreciated. But unfortunately, that doesn't change the experience. Between the hour-long wait and the quality of the food, I honestly don't understand how this place has a 4.9 rating. It is BAFFLING to me. I wouldn't come back and honestly, I wouldn't return even if the food were 50% off.

My friend LOVES the burgers here, and to be fair--the burger was good!…read more The rest was an adventure. Apparently, you order first and THEN find a table--even with 20 empty tables staring at you. We learned this from a fellow customer who apparently promoted themselves to Assistant Seating Manager. Let's just say the explanation wasn't exactly friendly. Then there's the bar. Only about half seemed available for seating, giving me a little COVID-era flashback. I was looking around wondering, "Wait... are we still social distancing?" And if I want another beer, do I keep getting up and walking back to the bar? At that point I'm not drinking beer--I'm doing cardio with refreshments. We'd previously had an unfortunate bakery experience involving bugs and hair in our sandwiches, but everyone deserves another chance. Then I visited the bathroom. I was going to post a blurred picture, but honestly, I decided nobody needs to see that while scrolling through their feed. Let's just say whatever happened in that stall had somehow managed to cover just about everything. I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Overall: good burger, confusing setup, COVID-era seating vibes, and quite the collection of side quests. Order. Find table. Get scolded by the volunteer seating coordinator. Eat burger. Walk for beer. Visit bathroom. Question life choices.

I had a ribeye steak and it was a 10/10. Who would've thought a bowling alley would have great food. Our server, Michael, made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and had great conversation that made us feel genuinely welcomed. He was handling all the tables by himself with a smile on his face! Right away when I walked in, I noticed how clean the restaurant was, and even the bathroom was nice and spotless which always says a lot. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

I've lived in Bishop since I was a kid, and Back Alley Bowling used to be one of my favorite places…read moreto eat. I was a regular for years. Unfortunately, ever since the ownership changed, the experience has gone downhill. The customer service is consistently rude and unwelcoming. It feels like staff are irritated just having to take your order. The food is now overpriced for the quality you get, which is a big change from how it used to be. I stopped going for about a year, but recently decided to give it another chance. I called in an order for myself and my disabled grandfather, who only has one arm. I politely asked multiple times if they could please cut the steak for him and even explained why. They clearly seemed annoyed by the request. When I picked up the food, everything looked rushed and just thrown into the boxes--and the steak was not cut. The rest of the meal was just as disappointing. The taquitos were plain with only cheese on top--no sides like guacamole or sour cream, especially disappointing for the price. The loaded potato wasn't even "loaded," just a plain potato. Between the poor service, lack of care, and declining food quality, this place is nothing like it used to be. It's honestly sad to see something that used to feel welcoming and enjoyable turn into somewhere I now dread going. I wouldn't recommend stopping here anymore. There are better places in town that actually value their customers.

Our server, Kelly, came to take our order almost immediately, but when we asked for a few more minutes, we didn't see her again for about 20 minutes. We had to ask another employee to find her. Throughout the meal, we never got water or coffee refills, and we felt completely forgotten. Our pancakes and biscuit with gravy were also forgotten. After mentioning it, she admitted that she had forgotten to put in the pancake order so we said forget them but we still want the biscuit that comes with the meal. We waited another 10 minutes before I finally had to walk to the kitchen myself to ask for it, and by then we just took it to go. The food is still great, but the service was incredibly disappointing. We hope this was just a one-time experience because we've always loved coming here. If this were our first time, we would not be back.

I recommend reservations (we didn't have any), or they will put you in a crummy table like we had. HOWEVER, I would eat off the FLOOR if I had to, knowing what I know NOW! ;b My husband and I both ordered the Surf & Turf special, EACH ITEM ON THE PLATE (faint balsamic glazed red onion petals, lightly flavored cardamom/honey carrot purée, perfectly cooked asparagus, charred fillet, seasoned shrimp and great sourdough bread) had it's own UNIQUE flavor profile. . . The presentation was 'beautiful' . . . I love to cook also, and I can APPRECIATE when something is prepared intentionally with quality and care. . . I told my husband that the Chef, is a TRUE 'Chef'. It was obvious much thought went into the plate and that he takes pride in his work. My husband and I talked about it long after we left. . . One of the best tasting, satisfying meals I have ever had.

I guess we're just tired after our hikes and cycling that we didn't want to drive back down to Convict Lake. We finally made reservations for Thursday night at 5:30 PM and headed down. It's really only a 15 minute drive from Mammoth to enjoy dinner in a very lovely setting. We had reviewed the menu online before we came and already decided what we wanted. Unfortunately, they were out of both of those items. I server was Daniel and he was friendly and helpful in choosing other entrees. We split a Caesar salad, which was refreshing. For Andres, we ordered the venison and duck. My husband was worried about the venison, but Daniel assured him that he would find it very tender. Both of the nails were very good, but I think we ended up preferring the venison. The plates were beautifully prepared and served. Our food came out within about 15 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service we received. We will definitely be back again and hopefully the lamb will be available.

Great vibe, good food & drinks. Live music on Wed night too…read more We had the $6 tacos. The sweet potato taco was so overfilled that I separated the double corn tortilla & made 2 tacos from it.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the brews. Service was good. They let me try a few beers to make sure I liked it. They also answered my questions on flavor and I found the right brew for me.

You get a a choice of side fries, soup or salad and I was craving tomato soup due to the chilly weather, but I don't recommend this at all. I expected a creamy tomato soup, but this tomato soup just had a strange flavor and left a bad taste in my mouth. My boyfriend got the chicken pesto sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries were AMAZING and my favorite thing there, but the sandwich was okay. The bread they used was kinda stale and it was falling apart as you eat it. As for the sandwich itself, it was decent. It was quite pricey for what it was and everything was a little dry. I do appreciate the cucumbers being added for veggies tho. Overall, this place has some items that were good and some that were just alright. The service is very kind and welcoming however!
