Top 15 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Mammoth Lakes, CA

Katie E. Great location and service in Mammoth This has become a regular spot for us whenever we are in Mammoth. While the burgers aren’t our personal favorite and the prices are on the higher side, there are plenty of other reasons why we keep going back. The location is hard to beat, and having free parking in Mammoth is a huge plus that makes things very convenient. The service is also consistently awesome; the staff is always friendly and attentive even when it’s busy. What we’ve tried: Tennessee Mules: Our favorite—highly recommend these if you’re looking for a good drink. Mac n Cheese: A massive hit with the kids; they love it every time. Chicken Wings (BBQ): Solid and flavorful. Chili Cheese Dogs: Good standard option for a quick bite. Even though the burgers didnt quite hit the mark for us, the atmosphere, the drinks, and the kid-friendly options make it worth the visit. Its a reliable staple for our mountain trips.

Garrett Soliday If you’re in mammoth and want some great authentic Latin American food, you must try this place out. I was here for breakfast and got the jefe breakfast burrito and added chorizo. Not greasy at all and the salsas they gave us that went with it were amazing.

Chirag Shah The Patty Shack isn’t just good, it’s delivering legit quality even for veggie burgers, which can be hit or miss at some places. That’s impressive.

Daniela Hollis The pictures don’t portray how GOOD this place is! We come here every time we come to mammoth. I had the tomato bisque, it was so fresh and tasty. I order just a plain burger for entree and it is honestly the best burger I’ve had at a restaurant. The buns are fluffy and spongy and the meat tasty and fresh. Fries are home made and so is the ketchup. We have also ordered the Texan burger, it has brisket and the meat is so juicy and tender. Everything is cooked right here. Service great too.

JEFFERY COMER We had a great dining experience thanks to our server Anna and her suggestions. We started with the Caesar salad and the soup of the day, which was cream of mushroom. I had the buffalo meatloaf, which was fantastic while my wife had to New York strip which she also enjoyed. Watched a little of the World Series while we were eating our dinner and a sports themed baseball dining room. Got the carrot cake to go cause we’re too full after having such a wonderful meal.

Melanie Freeland Delicious ramen and sushi in Mammoth lakes. We went on a Sunday at 8pm and had a bit of a wait for a table for 3 but the food game and fast and is well worth it! We had the salmon special sushi roll, space needle and ramen with chicken.. they weee sold out of pork belly.

Eileen Rodriguez The friendliest staff, best hot chocolate in town. The eggs and hot cakes came out perfect. I also order vanilla Oat Latte and it came out perfect. Easy parking in front of restaurant and fast service.

Minaret Photography Im writing this review specifically for my wedding people out there. McCoy Station is such a cool wedding ceremony and reception venue and heres why: How many weddings have you been to that include a gondola ride? McCoy Station is the spot. There are awesome ceremony sites up there--both the Steeps Bar and the rooftop have incredible views of Mammoth Mountain. And there are two reception sites--Parallax and the main room which is better for bigger groups. The weather can be a chaotic up there, especially if youre going outside of the traditional summer wedding season, but its always worth it when the sun comes out. Parallax has incredible views of the Minarets and mountains to the west of Mammoth, and the main room at McCoy is perfect for a massive party with a band. The whole experience, from the food to the views, weather and transportation, is iconically Mammoth. Ive included a few photos from recent weddings up there but I definitely recommend McCoy Station to couples looking for that epic Mammoth wedding experience. Your guests will appreciate it.

Barbara Bartee The Mill is our go-to for a midday break from the slopes. The bartenders here are fantastic – friendly, attentive, and always make us feel welcome. The pulled pork and tri-tip sandwich is absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and just what you need to refuel before heading back out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the ideal spot to recharge. We stop here every time were at Mammoth, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Valdemar I came here off-season, so it wasn’t too crowded. The food was delicious — authentic Mexican. They also have one of the largest tequila collections in the world. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff are friendly and polite. The restrooms are clean — which says a lot about the place.

Rebecca Kuritz The best little old-school coffee house with super friendly people. Write an early in the morning, great coffee, and delicious food. Love the grab and go fresh hot food, which makes turnaround faster. So many cute things to buy. Wish I had more time to look through everything. They are open earlier than any other coffee shop!

Group Saghal (Fashion Wholesale) Authentic Mexican food, we have fajitas and carne asada with one sope!!! We was that hungry that we forgot to take the picture but you can tell we love !!! The guava drink 20 of 10

Fay M We made a reservation, which I recommend during peak season. We had a group of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the soup and a beet salad. Both were excellent and made with very fresh ingredients. My husband had the salmon, grilled. He loved it. Prices are high in Mammoth, so this place is no different. But, the high quality food and service make it worth it.

Fedir Poliakov Ive visited this place tens of times, and it never disappoints. The food quality, service and atmosphere are always great. Their regular menu is already very good, but they always have some specials. Visited them on my summer trip, and enjoyed the views on a chill Friday evening.

Pauline Ploy Such a chill spot with a great atmosphere! The food was delicious. Especially the Philly cheesesteak with cheese sauce and the fries. The staff were friendly, gave great recommendations, and checked on us often. I’ll definitely come back again to try more dishes next time!
