Ample service in a small western town. So grateful for hospitality and service here. Meat is the"top of the pyramid" here and all its cuts, forms and presentations. Try and take home BBQ sauce (Schat's very own). Schat family is famous in Bishop/Mammoth Lakes and it's no surprise they have a flare for business. Grateful for this needed oasis on the way to Mammoth Lakes, CA. Coffee was yummy and service was focused---awww. Clean inside and the bathrooms. Wonderful clouds above this place. Schat's bakery is a definite stop in both Bishop and Mammoth Lakes. Visit, try and buy. read more

If you're a big burger person, this place is for you. They had some of the best burgers we've had in a long time, as in, comparable to Ray's Hell Burger in Virginia (you know, the place that held up traffic because Obama and Biden went to eat there). These are some legit gourmet burgers. Ok, so we went here because we were staying at the Choice Inn. The worker there happened to tell us we'd get a 15% discount if we ate there. So, in we went. Our order included the Inyo Mouth burger (get it?), Shot gun burger, Rotisserie chicken, and chicken tenders... I couldn't believe how good the rotisserie was. It wasn't dry, but moist and crispy on the outside. I was very surprised at the char on my burger and the secret sauce they use for the Inyo burger... They were all reasonably priced, despite the hotel discount. They honestly could've charged $20 a plate because of the quality. They've got kids running the counter and kitchen and they do a damn good job. I like the atmosphere, the wooden paneling and seating reminds me of a a steakhouse. You seat yourself as well. I learned that this is part of the Schat's Bakery business (cousins or siblings). No wonder it's so good. Very underrated. read more

Had a delightful dinner at Aaron Schatt's Roadhouse in Bishop tonight with my family. Whenever I'm in Bishop, I try never to miss a visit - whether dining in or grabbing takeout, the service and food quality are consistently excellent. My personal favorite is the Reuben sandwich, and the menu offers a variety of tempting choices; the fries and onion rings are perfect sides. The folks at Schatt's ensure customer satisfaction with their professionalism. Highly recommend checking out Schatt's Roadhouse - you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm sorry I ate the burger before I took a picture of it. It was the best burger I've had in a long time and absolutely the best burger I've had in Bishop. Oh I forgot to mention it was the Inyo Mouth Burger. The only drawback is their ordering process. When I came in Friday night at 7 it wasn't overly packed from a seating perspective but the line to place an order extended to the front door. For a place that has a limited menu I'm not sure why it took 20 minutes to get to the cashier. From a customer service perspective they should have a process in place to deal with more people showing up. read more

These burgers and fries are sooooooo good. I travel through bishop each summer to camp at June Lake and love eating in Bishop. I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for the grumpy staff. It seemed like no one wanted to help us and finally a staff member stepped up. I easy got past the bad service with the quality of the food. We will definitely come back for the food! read more

Dropped in for dinner on a Sunday evening. Service was amazing! Everyone was super friendly. Smiles on the faces of everyone. We ordered the shot gun and jalapeño b burgers. They were super juicy and flavorful. The French fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The onion rings were some of the best I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection! If you're in Bishop, do yourself a favor and stop here! read more

This place is sooo good, the reviews are on point! You had better get in and order otherwise there is a line out the door in no time! 10/10 definitely a must go place! read more

Great ambiance. Great place for families. Food was delicious! I had their blue cheese burger. The only thing is I wish the portion size was bigger! It was so good. We will definitely be back when we come through town again. read more

It was good food! Staff was super friendly! The female waitress we had, amazing. I wish I could have asked her out however, didn't get the opportunity. Thanks for a good experience! read more

We had surprisingly tender flatiron steaks and fresh broccoli with nicely baked potatoes. Everything was just right, not overcooked or dried out. The ordering line was long and slow (it was a Friday night), but table delivery and follow-up service were timely and very good. Nice to have our dogs with us on the patio. read more

Great place to stop and get lunch or dinner. Food was very tasty and came out pretty quickly. I'd definitely stop through again the next time I'm in Bishop. read more

Pleasant restaurant, a quick walk from the fairgrounds. Lots of BBQ options and a few salads. I had the chicken sandwich, which was good- a sweet and kinda spicy sauce, yummy pickle, and good cole slaw. Clean, safe, timely service. Nice for a stop, if your nearby:) read more

Pleasantly surprised how good the food is. And even more surprising that it's located in Bishop. The burgers were one of the best , juiciest we have had ... much better than any $20-$30 burgers served in LA. And the garlic fries were absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend this place, and will definitely revisit again next time transitioning through Bishop. read more

First time coming here, Saturday 4pm they're busy but the wait wasn't bad. The service was great and staff are friendly. The food was excellent, ordered the best garlic fries I've ever had, Onion rings, local brewed golden stout, Salad, Wings and walker texas burger all were delish. We'll definitely comeback and recommend this place to our friends! read more

Got lunch to go there today . We just love the turkey gobbler . So much better than fast food. And is very reasonably priced . The one staff member that I talked to was very nice . Will be back there for the turkey gobbler in a few weeks . Thanks again for a great sandwich. read more

While staying next door at the Comfort Inn we wanted a quick bite of dessert, and were offered 10% off as a result of staying here. Walked right up to order Dutch Apple pie a la mode which was advertised on a hand-written board by the ordering counter. I believe it said $5.49 plus $1.89 for the a la mode. We kindly reminded the cashier we were staying next door and would like the 10% discount. She said our total was $8.59 or something, and we looked at each other confused like how could this be? She said "oh we've recently increased our prices." Okay...then we had to again ask for the discount which she has forgotten. So for over $7 I would not recommend this dish. It was super sweet, poor ratio of Apple to crumble, did not taste fresh or high quality. read more

Good burgers and beer was nice and cold to wash down with, buns from the Schat's bakery

Service was quick. Order at counter and brought to table. Bun for burger size inadequate to keep burger in bun. Smaller buns do not equate to creating a bigger looking burger. Had to eat it with a fork. Good flavor. read more

A roadhouse by any other name is an oasis for weary travelers, a beacon of light on a hill to rest your souls and quench your palettes. Aaron Schat's the lesser known brother to Erick Schat's bakery a few blocks down. But you can sure tell that culinary genius runs in the family. Caveat, we did show up 30 mins before closing after a busy weekend so they were out of a lot of items and had one server covering the entire restaurant. That being said, we were treated with kindness the whole time by cashier Katie, and apologies galore for the food that was out. The full rack was delicious and juicy. The bbq sauce was the right balance of sweet and tangy. I was surprised at how quickly the food was served especially considering how busy they were while we were there. The icing on the cake (Shake?) was the Oreo Vanilla Shake which was so delicious and recommended by our wonderful server, Brie. Sometimes the food really shines, and sometimes is the staff that generate a special ambiance. In this restaurant it is both! See you soon. read more

Their ordering system is horrible. Zero stars. They have ONE cash register for all the people in line. Line was out the door. We should have gone with our instinct and left. What an extremely inefficient way to take orders. While standing in line we notice what looked like the manager because she did nothing to help move the line along. She just stood around. OK I lied. She stirred the beans, put the menus in a orderly fashion, and chatted with the staff. NOTHING to move the orders or customers forward. Open a second register! As far as everyone else they were AWESOME! The food runners and the guys coming by to check on us were courteous, friendly, and took time to answer questions. Food came out quickly for the amount of customers. Kudos to those three working the kitchen. The bald chef was AWESOME. He was slinging out food quickly and professionally. Manager needs replacing though. read more

There is a good veggie burger here that I ordered twice, but I would request that they go easy on the salt before you order it. They did mess up on our "to-go" order and we had to return to swap out the food, so check your call-in order before you leave. Once the fries were super greasy and soggy. The next time they were much better. Maybe a bit inconsistent. read more

"After driving 4 hours, I was captivated by the delicious aroma permeating from the establishment. As I opened the door my mouth began to salivate. I was pleased to see that the cashier was extremely helpful making recommendations and making my experience that much more memorable. I ordered 2 different items from the menu. They were scrumptious. The wait and anticipation was completely worth it. As I finished my meal I realized I had probably consumed my weight in meat. The stars had finally aligned. Keep in mind it was just 6pm." -from a hungry man read more

We rolled into town and found a motel. The road house was right behind and so we walked. Nice entrance, greeted warmly, and received patient, genuinely helpful service. Young man behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. Price was acceptable/fair...no complaints. Waite staff were attentive, helpful and friendly. Would have been 5 stars except for the cold fries. Granted it was just before closing, but...cold fries...still the flavor was good. Food was excellent and portions were very filling. All in all, I recommend! read more

Best burger I've had in California! Great fresh tender meat. Bun delicious! Will definitely stop here again.

Not too many options for food in this part of rural California. However Aaron Schat's Roadhouse did not disappoint. His brother owns the bakery next door. There was a huge line out the door when we arrived around 7pm. Just be forewarned this is not a waiter service restaurant. You order at the front desk and pick your seats after. Seeing how long the line was we decided to place an order online. They do stop taking online orders one hour before closing time. Our food was pretty much ready when it was scheduled for. I ordered the bluey Armstrong without a bun to save some calories. The compensated with plenty of lettuce. I also upgraded my fries to garlic Parmesan for additional fee. We were starving. The fries were crispy. The burger was cooked well. I liked how the sauce was on the side. Definitely one of the best option in Bishop, California. read more

Microwaved food This was our second time eating here but it's really gone downhill. Food was so dry and clearly microwaved. Disappointed because there are much better options in Bishop. read more

I was thinking 4 stars but a few things brought it down to 3. Came here while in town and I originally wanted to order their steak but was told they don't cook steaks before 5pm but it was 4:51pm. So ended up with the Walker Texas Ranger burger because you know, Chuck Norris. The burger was actually good. The buns were toasted just right that it gives it a little crunch and the burger was flavorful and juicy. The fries were golden and crispy. Social distancing was enforced though this is the first restaurant i've been in where the drinks were through a dispenser where everyone has access to it. Last but not least, when you first walk in you are brought to a counter to order but when paying, it already ask if you want to leave a tip and what percentage before even getting your food or service which I thought was a bit odd as I tip according to service. All in all, great burgers. read more

Order at the counter style place. Allows dogs on the patio which is nice. We ordered the Ribs and an Italian sando. The Italian was pretty standard and tasty. The ribs were awful, never had slow cooked ribs I had to cut with a knife. Service was speedy and friendly. Mediocre food at best. Would try somewhere else if I had a do-over. read more

Clean atmosphere, friendly service and a tasty pulled pork sandwich all made for a great road trip stop!

We run 5 or 6 weekend bus trips to Mammoth every season and have been using Aaron Schat's Roadhouse to pick up to go dinners for about the past 4 years and they are AWESOME! Seriously... it's no easy feat to provide 40-plus hungry, picky people quickly so as not to delay the trip, but also high quality, variety of choices for all diets and very reasonably priced to boot! The staff is great, especially Marisa and Ben... they make sure our order is always fresh & ready to go, tasty, complete with utensils, napkins, etc. We have been doing these trips for over 50 years, and this place is the best (and believe me, we've tried them all!)!! For the record, the Wailers Ski Club (wailersskiclub.org) is a non-profit organization and in no way affiliated with or compensated in any way for this review. They are just that good!! read more
