Jack's is one of the only sit down breakfast options in Bishop. We have eaten here for years and some of the employees here have worked here for many years as well, so that tells you something. We enjoy our morning walks to Jack's for breakfast and would recommend to anyone looking for a sit down option in Bishop. Food is fresh and quick. read more

If you are Mammoth bound, then you will probably need to get a bite in Bishop either going to or leaving from Mammoth! Jack's is a great place for a home style meal, with home style service. Although, the food is a basic menu, it most certainly is a great spot if your looking for a little bit of home cooking! The restaurant has ample parking and ample seating; however, it is slightly crowded on the weekends, but worth the wait. Jack's is clean, and service is very hospitable! Next time if your looking for a good meal, stop by Jack's ! read more

Driving through town. Stop here for a bite to eat. The Staff super friendly. Our waitress we had was all over it. I couldn't decide between fries or potato salad. I told the waitress I love potato salad. I went with the fries since I got a chili burger. The waitress was really sweet and brought me a sample of the potato salad. The food was good. Definitely will good back when we are traveling through town. read more

This is a fixture diner in bishop. Service always courteous and prompt. Excellent value for money. Good range of good American food.

Best Diner in Bishop I love Jack's!! Every visit to Bishop I make a stop for a meal. This stalwart restaurant never fails no matter the meal. This restaurant has been here since I have been a little girl. When you first walk in I feel automatically at home with the rustic, mountain fisherman atmosphere. There are mounted various species of trout mounted all around along with fishing equipment. All staff is amazingly polite and helpful. Food is delivered promptly and prices are very fair. They know to hook up the corn beef hash. I must admit that I salivate each time I learn that there is CBH on the menu. The CBH here was hefty not the stuff you get from a can. They cooked and cubed the corn beef after seasoning it perfectly. It was served with soft hash browns along with eggs, toast. I also had to try a homemade biscuit with the country gravy which was so scrumptious. I think my next visit I might have this again. I had one of my favorite sandwiches, the grilled patty melt. I am always looking for a great patty melt but I need it made right and this restaurant delivers. My patty melt was served with a nicely seasoned beef patty, with grilled onions and swiss cheese served on perfectly grilled rye bread. My patty melt was accompanied with a large helping of french fries and a small bowl of sole slaw with a lot of mustard seeds. I had lemon meringue pie on my last visit and it was so mouthwatering good. This lemon meringue pie was a delicious baked pie made with lemon custard filling and a sweet fluffy meringue topping the crust was made of a delicate shortbread. This restaurant has long been a staple for my family and I, we will be patrons for years to come. read more

If tonight was my only dining experience at Jacks, I doubt I would ever go back again! It seemed a perfect game of "when the cats away, the mice will play"! Our waiter, Derek, spent most of his time behind the scenes; literally hissing and sticking his tongue out at the other employees, after he had taken our order, before any food arrived, he stopped by our table and said "how is everything so far" ! Really..... well, my water is fine...... several times I observed him walking from the kitchen chewing, drinking his soda, and then burping out loud! The cashier spent a good portion of her time sitting at the bar, eating dessert, gossiping to Derek! Food was fine, but all of the employee drama was so distracting, it was hard to eat our meal! read more

Right off the street and lots of parking, the breakfast I had was absolutely great, I would recommend this place to anyone

Fun and interesting place to eat. Service was great and the food was good. We had a good time reading the interesting employee shirts and signs all over the restaurant. We will definitely come back. read more

Delicious breakfast! Fast friendly and attentive staff. Orange juice is fresh squeezed and the sour dough toast is fresh and delicious I had the vegetarian omelette and it was great my husband had the T-bone steak breakfast and he said it was full of flavor and one of the best steaks he's had in a while and he eats a lot of steak! Definitely recommend!! read more

Great breakfast and very good service liked it so much that we are going to have breakfast again this morning.

Omlete was as expected, pretty decent, hash browns the same. Staff was really nice, I would come back here again.

The pies looked delicious. Unfortunately after I ate half of a piece and turned it over I found mold growing on the inside layer of crust. I'm sure they serve the best tasting moldy pie in town. After noticing this I called the place to alert them of this unfortunate circumstance. Unfortunately I was up the hill on my way to some fresh snow and a good time. I'm sure the breakfast is good but this is just something that is too nasty not to share. I don't post things that are negative unless given a good reason. read more

We stopped here because we had a dog and saw some tables outside. And let me tell you the food was soooooooo good despite being outside I thought the food would get cold quickly but it lasted warm until we were done. I ordered a basic plate, ham scrambled eggs and hash browns, the kids had a dip roast beef sandwich, the jack's original sandwich and the hubby crab meat eggs Benedict and we were all satisfied !!!! Would definitely recommend !!!! read more

Great experience and a nice hometown feel. Service was A++. The food is about what'd you would get at Denny's. Don't come here expecting to be blown away by what you eat, but you'll leave here not hungry which I assume is the goal. Will be coming back here again to support the local businesses. read more

Good size portions of pretty good food. I had the spinach and mushroom omelette. Three stars because the waitress (Erika) got the type of cheese wrong, was hurried and gave minimal service. read more

Thought I give this place a try. When I got there, there were a lot of people standing outside. Apparently there was a waiting list. I thought this was a good sign. There are a reasonable number of tables in this place and they have a large parking lot. I was by myself so I put my name on the list and told the host I would be happy to wait for the counter so as not to take up a whole table all by myself. While waiting, I know at least one other solo diner put his name on the waiting list. After waiting about 20 minutes, three people from the counter all got up together and left...and then a couple more (there are only 6 seats at the counter). I was seated, given a menu, and some water. Shortly thereafter, they sat a party of four at the other 4 counter seats....huh? I saw the solo customer still waiting. Like I suspected, they weren't seating solo diners at a table alone because there was a waiting list. In my opinion and in all fairness, they should have sat the solo diner at one of the open counter seats and made the party of four wait for a table since single individuals were not going to get a table by themselves. I later found out that the 3 that left together were a party of three. Finally the server comes back but goes to the party of four to take their order first! Respectfully, the lady sitting next to me said he was here first and gesture toward me. The server took all 5 orders. On the menu they listed the chicken fried steak as one of their specialties. This is one of my favorites so that's what I ordered with a side of sourdough bread and a large glass of cranberry juice. The juice came pretty quick. But it was definitely watered down (not sure I'd call the glass large). Finally my order showed up but no bread. Next, the party of four got their order. After a few minutes, the server finally came by but gave one in the other party my bread order! Eventually, they brought another order of sourdough toast and gave it to me. Being one of their specialties, I was really looking forward to eating my CFS breakfast. My order came with 2 eggs and hash browns. I asked for scrambled eggs...well cooked. What I got look like eggs that came from a mix. In fact I'm pretty sure it was from a mix. The taste and texture seemed to indicate the same...guess I should have ordered them over easy so I'd know I got the real thing. I think it is both the breading and the gravy that make a really tasty CFS. Unfortunately, the gravy had virtually no flavor...adding salt & pepper didn't help much. The CFS didn't have any flavor either...man was I really disappointed! The hash brown was the only item on my order that tasted decent. Needless to say, I left about half my order untouched and departed. Now overall, the staff were really friendly and I had no complaints in that area. But the other business aspects here were definitely lacking. For me, this is a rare occasion of me suspecting that the other menu choices probably fair about the same as my order. I hope I'm wrong, but don't think so. So I will NOT come back here next time I'm in the area. read more

Amazing food. We had breakfast and everything was delicious and coffee was great. Definitely coming back.

Super homey and good food! Staff are super friendly and it just feels like a good ol kitchen!

Garrison: I love this place, it's a good country breakfast. They have good coffee and fresh orange juice. They have pancakes, eggs, and waffles bomb. (4 stars) Hana: Personally not my favorite place. The food was too greasy, my ham and egg omelette was smothered in cheese and grease. I couldn't stomach it. The banana muffin I ordered tasted like fish oil in my opinion. I don't like breakfast that consist of pancakes and greasy eggs so this place wasn't for me personally. However I understand this type of breakfast is good for many people. Just not for me (2 stars) read more

"Hunger's the best spice," Marge* said, as she dropped off the pull-apart roll. Soon after came the soup. She wasn't the chef, so I didn't tell her that putting a bag of frozen veggies (yep, the kind with corn and lima beans) in a pot of hot water doesn't mean soup. I'd just wait for the meatloaf, even frozen meatloaf is good. When I asked for "low-fat anything?" salad dressing, Marge snorted and said, "NO. Oil and vinegar is the closest you'll get." Apparently I missed the sign saying, "Our waitresses can go from zero to bitch in 4.2 seconds." Oh, there it is, on the right. "Do you get the feeling she doesn't like me very much?" I asked B. "I kind of got that vibe, actually." He said. When the salad course came and I hadn't finished my soup yet, Marge made some comment under her breath about how all the food on the table was for me. The salad was nice, but I guess it was naïve of me to expect balsamic and olive oil rather than red wine and canola when there were taxidermy licenses behind my head. I was terrified to flag her down to ask for some ranch, which B graciously did for me. When the entrées came, my meaty was covered in sedate skin of gravy and with a side of butter soaked squash. A vibrant orange grease puddle seeped out from the meaty. I'm open-minded, so I dug in. You know when you're walking on solid ground, and suddenly it turns to mud? (See photo) I guess it's like that, in that below the gravy, the loaf was somehow more the consistency of Fancy Feast. Skipping the lukewarm cat food, I decided to try dessert. However, Marge ran off to get B's German chocolate cake before I could order mine. When she came back I ordered my blackberry pie. "Do you want that warm with ice cream!?!?!?!," she chirped, frighteningly. "Er, no thank you." "Thanks SO much!" She growled. I was tasting some cake when she walked by and asked how the dessert was, as if to rub in my face that my pie wasn't there. "Oh. She's just warmin' your pie for me." Then why in god's name was the pie stone cold when it came to me? It freaks me out when a server lies to me, even if she did bring me the extra piece they "messed up on." Yeah, the pie may have been made with blackberry jam, but I still brought the other piece home. I'm complainy, not ungrateful. In the end, B was stuffed and sad from his frozen fries and Gardenburger. I was pretty weirded out because I hadn't eaten cat food since my destitute childhood. (*name changed) read more

Was not planning to have breakfast at any restaurant cause breakfast is provided at our hotel. The breakfast at our hotel was so bad the first day that we decided to go out the next morning. My friend from Bishop highly recommended Jack's Restaurant & Bakery. Got to admit that I am happy that he recommended this restaurant because we were not disappointed! Service was terrific, and the food came out in good time. Wifey was pleased with her order. Bacon, hash browns, eggs, and a Blueberry muffin. She thought the bacon was too salty, but still good. Blueberry Muffin was very very good! We both agreed that it was one of the best blueberry muffins ever!! French Toast, bacon, and eggs for myself. The French toast was yummy! Paired well with the eggs and bacon. Unlike my wife, I thought the bacon was extremely delicious!! As my friend mentioned to me, their bacon is smokey goodness!!!! Don't know how the rest of their menu is, but I was Impressed with our delicious breakfast! I am a fan! Will be one of my food destinations on future trips to Bishop!! read more

Wow Jack! What a terrible way to start my day, my first meal of the day on the road to my vacation with my family! Two summers ago on our way to the sierras for vacation my family & I ate breakfast here & it was OK then. Fast forward two years & I wish I hadn't stopped for breakfast! Our food was absolutely awful! At first sight all of our individual orders appeared to be editable, however, I've said this before,"LOOKS are DECEIVING!" With that bring said, I started to eat my breakfast and as i cut into my country fried steak i noticed it was extremely rare, I think I heard it moo! So I immediately told the waitress that I didn't want it & ordered bacon. As I waited on my bacon my family started to voice their opinions about their unpleasant experience with their food. So finally, the waitress brings out my bacon & I couldn't believe she place a plate of BURNED BACON in front of me & had the nerve to say, "enjoy your bacon". I was speechless! I thought to myself, is she blind? That was all I could take, I got up from the table & told my hubby to just pay the bill because I couldn't stay there another minute! I wanted to tell them a thing or two, however, I have the ability to understand right from wrong. I see burned bacon & cut into a country fried steak that moo, but the cook or waitress didn't! No thank you I will NEVER stop here again! There you have my 1 star review, one star because I had to rate it in order to write a review. read more

First off let me say this was my favorite place to eat in town three years ago before I moved to Las Vegas. I came back to visit my mom for the week and could not wait to go to Jack's for the best biscuits and gravy breakfast that I had ever had. I even saw my favorite server who always took such good care of me when I would stop in after working the night shift at the Holiday Inn. So it breaks my heart to have to write this review. We sat down and I was facing the doorway to the kitchen and back, my mother facing the front of the house. Our server came up took our drink order two iced teas one extra lemon. First off we got our teas and took 5 minutes to find some lemon, I'm guessing no one had prepped enough, being it's fathers day and it lunch time. My mother ordered her biscuits and gravy, I ordered bacon breakfast combo, bacon crispy eggs over hard with biscuits and gravy. Meal comes two eggs hash browns and choice of toast, muffin or biscuits and gravy. What I saw was not good. I watched several servers come out of the back chewing food. Then the chubby blonde Mexican comes out with a piece of food in her hand and pops it in her mouth right as she reached our table! A few minutes later she walked from the back to behind the drink station with what appeared to be a glass bottle possibly maple syrup and licking her fingers on both hands!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Disgusting!!! Then our biscuits and gravy come sooo good!!! I looked and saw that the gravy was stored right in the hallway to the kitchen, no big deal until you see it's not covered and watching a woman clean around and change out the gravy pot for a fresh one and then leave the dirty cloth right next to the fresh uncovered gravy pot. By this time I have sent my food back because my bacon was really limpy and the eggs were over easy. Flagged down the server told her I how I ordered my eggs over hard and bacon crispy. She said ok and took the food back. Not even an apology. Which is sad because it appears she is friends with my mom. Food came back bacon burnt hash browns so hard you barely have edible spots and cut into the eggs in front of server and they were now over medium. The food came back again eggs burnt I barely ate anything watched another server with long blonde hair in a ponytail chomping on gum like a cow that I could see the back of her open mouth. Our server came back and said her shift was over and that he needs us to pay now. That is rude and unexceptionable. Then she came back and asked if I like the food since it was all on my plate pretty much. I said no. Then she said oh no I can't refund it because you paid do you want dessert? I said no and she kept insisting, frankly putting anything else in my mouth from my once favorite place to eat in Bishop sounded awful. I told my mom to get what she wanted. We left and my mom said the place has really gone down hill. I don't expect 5 star service and modern decor. I expect a simple egg and bacon order to be correct. I expect my order to be edible. I expect to have faith my server is up to health code standards not shoving food in their mouths and licking their fingers on the floor. I left heart broken and devastated about this place. If you decide to go here the biscuits and gravy still taste awesome. read more

Great Food and Service. The Jr Omelette was the perfect size and my son was very happy with the Eggs Benedict ... and he's picky!

We ate here twice. Going to and coming back from a backpacking trip. On the Friday going in the food was really impressive. We were talking about it on the way down the mountain on Sunday. So, we stopped off again. The food wasn't as good the second time. I am convinced that the M-F chef is better than the guy working on Sunday. The people were nice and the prices were decent. So, I rate this place, hit or miss. When you hit it right, it's wonderful. I would certainly go back again. read more

Okay let's be honest that Eric Schatz was so ridiculously busy. Hard pass after grabbing essentials. So we stumbled upon Jacks. Seated fairly quickly even though they were busy. They met all dietary accommodations! Whew! Honestly the best veggie omelet I've had. Why? It had flavor! I didn't have to add salt/pepper to make it better. Or any sauces. The hash browns were so good. Kids loved it so much they asked for another order of hash browns. Diner coffee always hits the spot. Only one star off cuz it wasn't the cleanest. Other than that - loved it! read more

I have been eating at Jack's for almost 30 years . I couldn't believe that they weren't on Yelp . So my review for today's breakfast is great as usual . I had Griddle Combo with French Toast , eggs and bacon . The toast was good , the eggs came over medium instead of over easy but were still good . My girl had the same Griddle Combo but with the Ham Steak , which she said was fantastic as usual . So this place has their own bakery and do their own bread , pies , and these HUGE muffins that are easily twice the size of the ones mom used to bake for ya when you were young ! The decor is period and history appropriate for the area here in the Eastern Sierras . Huge local trout displayed on their walls . They have one waitress , kinda old gal , who is super friendly and will get your order correct . So stop on in when your in the area heading up or down 395..... read more

While overnighting in Bishop we looked for an inexpensive place to eat. Jack's was within walking distance of our motel, so that was our choice. We went there for dinner expecting regular diner food, but were pleasantly surprised that their dinner special was prime rib at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed it so much, that we decided to go back for breakfast the next morning. The hashbrowns and corned beef hash were excellent as were the eggs cooked to order. I like my eggs over medium and they actually got it right. Both times we visited the service staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely try Jack's again the next time we're in Bishop. read more

Perfect dinner to make a stop on your way to Mammoth. Friends and I decided to try their food. Service was great, food was like any other dinner. My friends ordered their breakfast, I had their soup and salad combo. The waitress forgot the sausage for one of the plates and when we pointed it out, she suggested the bacon was better and brought that out. Overall decent price for the portion of food you get. My friend also decided to grab a slice of the banana pudding pie, which he raved about. read more

First time at Jack's, passin' through town with my Dad and had no expectations, except from the reviews on Yelp telling us we were at the right place for breakfast. Sat at the bar and close to the kitchen, so our service was quick. Both had the French Toast, gobbled it down, and we both agreed most "satisfactory" was the proper exclamation. Nothing special, but nothing that would keep us from returning. read more

To write a more positve review, I am going to give this place 4 stars. Personally its a 3.5 but like i said...I will stick with a 4. I have tried the pancakes, waffles, eggs Benedict, country fried steak and more here. I have never been disappointed. The prices are reasonable, food is fresh and hot but very simple...nothing fancy here. Only downside is that its small and can get busy, thus a long wait, but generally worth it. read more

Food was delicious with not too big but not too small portion. Love their freshly squeeze OJ. Love the deco and the humorous signs on the wall. French toast was very rich. Ham was thick and flavorful. Waffle was fine. Pancake was good, but oh the gigantic BLUEBERRY MUFFIN with fresh blueberry was to die for. Service was good and not too slow. Wouldn't call it friendly, but the waitress was sharp and smart at people-reading, which saves lots of time. For this reason I gave it 4 stars. read more

We overheard the waiter say he was from Santa Monica, and three old guys were talking to him. The second the waiter said he was a creative writer and that he came out to Bishop to get away and focus on his craft, one of the old guys told him a joke: "What does an artist, a musician, an actor, and a creative writer all have in common?" "What?" "Whenever you meet one, the first thing he says is, 'May I take your order?'" Those old guys were from Palos Verdes, and that was "effed" up and funny at the same time. Jacks has a country atmosphere in their restaurant. There are antlers, animal heads, and fish mounted everywhere. I took a chance on their special which was a NY Steak with veggies and mashed potatoes for $12. * Pic posted Long story short, it was worth every penny. The steak wasn't dried out, and it was flavorful. Highlight of the night was the dessert. APPLE PIE ALA MODE! I almost ordered two, it was so damn good! Flaky, crispy, sweet, warm, and with creamy vanilla on top. From now on it will be a mandatory stop during my snowboarding trips. read more
