Obviously the go to place in town to eat. One part tradition one part good breakfast. I get my young kids to eat the egg/bacon/pancake from kids menu. I recommend the steak and egg hash - super tasty. Good coffee. Kids menus and crayons available.

The food was good, but service was great! They kept coming to make sure our food was alright and if we needed anything else. Also refilled our coffee 2 times!

Great breakfast spot! No kids menu but no big deal. Portions are large and shareable.

We arrived at 7:30 on a Sunday morning to find the place bustling with business, always a good sign! After looking at the menu and reviews I decided I had to try the French toast which I could only describe as amazing. Slightly crispy exterior perfectly cooked interior nothing could Make it any better hands down probably the best French toast I've ever had! My wife got a patty melt and onion rings and while I can't speak for the patty melt gun rings were also amazing and probably some of the best I've ever had. From the staff of front to the waiters and bussers everybody was happy to help and their service was great. Will return anytime I'm in Mammoth.

If you want a tasty meal at good prices in Mammoth, this place won't disappoint. The atmosphere has a diner feel to it, so I wouldn't choose it for the atmosphere. Thw portions are excellent, too.

So I failed to take a picture of my Sierra morning skillet but I have to tell you it was incredible. More importantly the staff there are absolutely awesome people, so much so that even of the food was not awesome i'd go back just to visit. Rare gem with wonderful people. .....oh and the pies are just ridiculous.

They have an amazing vegan option: get the veggie burger with no mayo, and replace with cucumber and spinach. I also got fruit and textured vegan protein sauteed (they called it tofu crumble or something but it's TVP). Incredibly tasty To the owners: I hope you can add the tofu crumble to the menu as I found out it was available only when I asked the server. Label it as textured vegan protein.

This place was great - reasonably priced food, plenty of options, and there's quick service even when they're busy. I got the chicken and waffles special and I really appreciated their homemade Sriracha honey - it was fantastic! Definitely a dish worth trying here. I wish there was less country music, but it's part of the restaurant's theme, so I won't knock them for it.
