    We always eat at Classic Burger when we drive to Mammoth. I'm glad we found this alternative. The service is excellent, and the food is great! We got pasta, short rib burger, and regular burger. The burger was the best thing we ordered, but everything else was good too. If you have a pet or young kids, the outdoor area is perfect. Will definitely be back.

    26 years of love Celebrated our anniversary with an unforgettable dinner at Cactus and Flame. A beautiful, intimate atmosphere paired with incredible steaks--filet mignon and ribeye, perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. Knowing the beef is sourced from Texas made it even better. A perfect evening to celebrate many wonderful years together. #26YearsStrong #AnniversaryDinner #DateNight #CactusAndFlame #StillInLove

    We had missed all our main exits and found this little spot on our way to mammoth! It was absolutely delicious. There was no kid menu but they catered and made something for our kids! Highly recommend!

    The food is always so amazing and carefully made, I come here all of the time and i definitely recommend the lasagna if you haven't had it. The service is always great and the workers are so kind, Juan is an amazing chef!

    The food was amazing and the service was top notch. I was not expecting an elevated dining experience that was a nice surprise. I highly recommend experiencing the food here. Tony was absolutely amazing!

    Stopped at Cactus & Flame on our way back from Mammoth and were really impressed with the quality of the food. We ordered the pork chop and the seafood - both were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Definitely a great find on the drive home!

    Best food I've ever had. Jesse was amazing phenomenal establishment highly recommend asparagus soup was super good. Steak was cooked perfect and they served us root beer floats in martini glasses service was amazing. Ambience felt like I was in a movie.

    Pros it's nice to have another food option in the area, the customer service is great and the place looks nice. We got the crab cakes appetizer, which came out really fast and where definitely Sysco and fried from frozen, not bad but nothing special. My girlfriend and I both got the ribeye steak, her with the veggies and mashed potatoes and I got the mushroom risotto. They steak came out really fast which makes me think they have them prepped and just throw them on the grill to heat up. We ordered medium rare and both got medium. The steaks weren't bad, but where not seasoned well and where only elevated by a red wine sauce they served with them. My risotto had canned mushrooms in it which is not acceptable for a restaurant presenting itself as higher end then the typical fair. My girlfriend's mashed potatoes where clearly instant, which again isn't acceptable. For the price points the sides and appetizers shouldn't be Sysco and the steak should be seasoned better and cooked correctly. The steak portions where decent but for the price nothing special. I understand that cost cutting happens in restaurants but for one that just opened, it's definitely disappointing.

    June 17 was the start of my 5 day birthday road trip to Mammoth Lakes. My first stop was Indian…read moreWells Brewery. This was my first time visiting this brewery. I walked in armed with my 64 ounce growler. The inside of the brewery was really nice and organized well. As I walked in I could see all their beer taps. I asked for a taster of their Amnesia IPA. I loved the hoppy flavor so I had them fill up my growler. They were bottling beer when I was there and it was cool to watch. I bought a shirt while they were filling up my beer. The employee was friendly and I even payed the brewery a return visit when I was heading home on Sunday. I look forward to many return visits.

    I stopped by on my way to Lake Isabella and I was thoroughly disappointed in the service, not that…read moreI got any. As soon as I walked in with my dog I was berated by the staff member to tie her up outside. I was alone, however, I complied and took my dog outside and tied her up alone. There was no signage posted that I saw indicating their no dogs policy. Instead of politely explaining the rule, i was met with a harsh tone and felt unwelcome. At that point, I mentioned that the interaction had felt unnecessarily rude. Rather than acknowledging how it came across, the staff member became argumentative and insisted that I simply didn't know her well enough to judge her tone. The final straw was when I asked if they wanted my business and was told, "No." Businesses are absolutely entitled to have a no-dogs policy, and I would have happily followed it if it had been explained respectfully. My issue is not the policy--it's the customer service. I left without ordering and won't be returning.

    My boyfriend and I were camping in Kennedy Meadows the night before when we realized we did not…read moreprepare for 20 degree weather. So we drove down and randomly saw this place and decided to have dinner. We ended up speaking with the owner. We asked about lodging and he told us he did not have anything available. He came back to ask us how we're doing and we asked if there was other lodging close by. He said they would most likely be booked. We told him about the night before and how we were very unprepared for cold weather. In front of him I told my boyfriend that we can sleep in the truck again, no worries. Next thing I know the owner came by again and said he has a camper for friends and family that no one is in and he offered it to us, saying he felt bad that we froze. We were elated. I have never felt more grateful and it reminded me that there really are kind souls. He walked us over and provided us towels and turned the heat up. It was perfect. We sat by the fire pit with others, who all had nothing but kind words about this place. People come every year and stay here. I felt such a warm welcome from everyone. My boyfriend and I are so thankful for the owners. We both said we can't wait to come here more and hopefully decades down the road we can stay in the same camper and reminisce. I will tell everyone about this place. It's nothing fancy but it's definitely special! Thank you for making my entire weekend.

    Good food but not the service!…read more I came here few time because that's my mom in law's favorite place to dine in. My husband and I drove from LA to take her and her husband for birthday dinner. Here is my positive and negative review based on our experience when we were there. Positive: Food cook perfectly as we asked for. We have 12oz and 8oz fillet mignon, 2 orders rib eyes steak for mom and her husband, large suchini appetizer. Pickle is delicious, you can ask as much as you want for free, good bread. The owner stop by at our table, my mom gave him compliment about the website video he done such a great one, so my mind automatically expect great service. Neg: My mom has reservation at 6PM, we arrived 5 mins b4 6, they didn't have or can't find my mom reservation. Waiting a bit then get our table at the last room due to a large parties were at the patio and crowded and noisy which no big deal for us, we can see the big parties from our window room. It took an hour for our steak, salad served with a warm bowl, suchini too dry to eat. By the time the steak ready, we are half full with bread, salad, pickle and appetizer. 5 minute after the waitress brought the food to us, my mom asked a box to go, my husband ate not even half of his steak, I can't finish my meal either. We are so full end up to bring our food home. The waitress take too long to bring our bill and we still waited again for our debit card back then walk to look the waitress at the bar ask our card. The whole experience is not my expectation with the money we spent we should get better service, also few flies and mosquito flying around on our food. I hope they consider to improve the service better in future
