    Marks burger
    Jennifer Y.

    The food was good. Not too busy for a late Saturday afternoon which was nice. Service was quick. Music is a strange array for brewer/restaurant. But after a while it's just background noise to all the conversations. This probably won't be a place we come again just really not our kinda place.

    I've been to this brewery 3 times, in 2021, 2022 and 2026. On every visit I have ordered a different IPA. On my June 17 visit I was heading to Mammoth Lakes. I proudly brought in my Mountain Rambler glass growler. A friendly young woman was behind the counter helped me and I asked if I could have my growler filled with their Hell Diver Hazy IPA. I had never had this IPA and did not get a sample. That night at my campsite at Tom's Place that's when I enjoyed my beer and it was delicious. On one of my future visits I will have to try their food because there was a lot of people eating their burgers, pizza and salads and it looked and smelled great.

    Disappointed with the wait. It took over 35min to get our food without any indication or warning. Many others seemed to be annoyed with the wait too for their food. The garlic fries are good and the rambler burger was good according to my friends. The Reuben was kinda mid. Dry and chewy/rough pastrami. The brussel sprouts were decent but the tahini was a bit too wet and not thickened enough.

    An incredibly open concept dining area gives incredible mountain vibes. The friendly staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. Although I wasn't there to drink I did elect for their raspberry lemon "shrub" (non-alcoholic) and it was the best thing I enjoyed there! The chicken sandwich was exactly as advertised and satiated my appetite. My SO got a baked potato with bacon and broccoli (bacoccoli?) and I lowkey wished that's what I ordered... shhh don't tell her. Ultimately this place is a great pit stop on the way to Mammoth, I'll definitely be back!

    My coworkers and I were in Bishop for a work trip and stopped by Mountain Rambler Brewery for a late dinner (kitchen open until 9pm). Our visit happened to coincide with Locals' Night on a Wednesday and we enjoyed the live music and lively atmosphere. Mountain Rambler has a lot of food options, and between the three of us in our group, we got to try a great mix of a burger with garlic fries, a pastrami sandwich with regular fries, a sweet potato empanada with chimichurri, and a hummus and pita plate. Everything was tasty and the portions were definitely filling. I agree with some other reviews that mentioned the pastrami was cut a little thick; while tasty, it was sometimes tough to bite through. My coworkers also got some brews to try, which they enjoyed. The service was friendly and prompt and it was a nice spot to hang out and enjoy some good food. The Happy Hour menu also looked like there were some great deals!

    I had a long way to travel on Hwy 395. Driving for several hours in a day is tiring, and you look forward to the rest stops for refreshments. My travel companion and I stopped to try a wee dram of the Scottish Ale and a basket of fries. I enjoyed the Scottish Ale a lot! Very robust and bursting withalt flavor. The fries were fresh and piping hot and so good, as well. I would've liked to have spent a couple of hours there , but we had to press on with our journey.

    A favorite when visiting Bishop, CA. Located toward the south of the main town & on the east side of SR395. Beers are tasty. Business is family friendly. We split the Rambler burger & it was awesome! Home-made ice cream made daily. Friendly staff. Worth a stop if you're in Bishop. Our awesome servers were Laila & her co-worker

    I live in Bishop and have been here quite a few times. The food is always good and I like to sample the beers. It can be crowded and noisy, especially on music nights. Not my style. Today, 11:30 am on a Sunday, the restaurant is hopping, but not crowded. Definitely pleasantly quiet. I am watching two men playing chess and several families enjoying their lunch. We got the soup of the day (chicken tortilla) + grilled cheese and a hamburger with fries. Just a tiny tasted of the stout. The soup was delicious. Nothing fancy. I like that. I could have gone without the grilled cheese. The soup was enough. The hamburger was as expected. The stout was a dessert drink. Very sweet and chocolate. The staff said many people order my size as dessert. We got the homemade ice cream. Very good. A nice finish. You can split it. Overall a pleasant lunch.

    A flight of a pale ale and three IPAs.

    We were staying overnight in Bishop, CA while on a road trip to Reno. I saw that there was a brewery just down the street from our motel. There is live music on Wednesday with local artists. I like craft beer and my wife likes dessert and live music so we stopped at Mountain Rambler Brewery. It was full of happy people enjoying tasty food and brews whole jamming to Milo who entertained us tonight. I had a flight of 3 IPAs and a pale ale while my wife had a huge lemon square. Need a good place to get over hump day? Check out Mountain Rambler Brewery!

    Last Chance (Kettle Sour Prickly Pear and Raspberry)

    Mountain Rambler Brewery is a super cozy and small brewery with great quality food and drinks. As soon as I walked in, the smell of fresh pizza hit me, and I knew I had to order it. Between the 3 of us, we ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and the Asian chicken salad. The salad was fresh, and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked--not dry at all. The pizza was amazing, with chunks of chicken, thinly sliced tomatoes, and red onions. I couldn't stop eating it--it was so addicting! The salad and pizza was more than enough to split between the 3 of us as well. To pair with my pizza, I ordered the Last Chance Sour (Kettle Sour with Prickly Pear and Raspberry) and the Apple Cider. Both drinks were delicious and had a tart flavor rather than being overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. The place was very crowded when we got there, so finding a table for a group of 6 was a bit of a challenge. Wait times for ordering and food can be long because of how busy it gets as well. However, the high-quality food and drinks make it totally worth it! Another nice touch is that you can order drinks through your phone, so you don't have to wait in the long line again if you want another round. This is a really great spot to hang out with friends after a long day of outdoor adventuring in the Bishop area and I would definitely come back here again when I am in the area again!

    Beer and ambiance was good but fries and baked potato came cold. They reheated the potato and the fries never came. Regretful experience.

    This place is excellent. I haven't been in Bishop for over 35 years! Traveling through from Arizona…read moreto Chico. I decided to stop here. No regrets! I had the sampler platter 28 bucks! Tri-tip, brisket, and rib ribs. Came with two sides and a huge slab of cornbread! The ribs and the brisket do not need any sauce whatsoever. The smoke ring on both of them was perfect and gave it perfectly good smoked flavor throughout. Hopefully it won't take me another 35 years to swing through Bishop to try this again! Service was great you order at the counter and they take your food to you. Quite a good bottled beer selection.

The barbecue wasn't noticeably better than what we've had at the chain Dickey's BBQ which is disappointing given the reputation on here and the price we ended up paying. The brisket was pretty dry even during dinner time and had no bark really. Then the loaded baked potato was also a surprise. It came topped with a large amount of diced yellow onions instead of green onions which if you have ever been to Texas and had BBQ out you know it is much more common, so that was weird. Also the shredded cheese was simply slapped on and wasn't even melted making it feel unfinished. The only good thing was their bbq sauce and the mac and cheese. It was creamy and the best thing we ordered. Overall we left very disappointed. We expected a much more memorable experience. given the ratings since we chose to come here over Copper Top.

The menu was super sticky and dirty and I don't like when I have to tip before receiving service which is the only option when you order from the QR code unless you want to leave cash at the end. The flatbread pizza was pretty bad. My kiddos only took a couple of bites. I tried it and the bread was pretty tough. The quinoa falafel bowl was just ok. The salad portion was refreshing but the falafels were super dry. The service was lacking, the person who delivered our food was not friendly and I kept getting overlooked at the counter when I tried to order drinks.

Expecting customers to tip before they have evaluated the service or even laid eyes on their food is a highly objectionable business practice. This policy is especially frustrating when the subsequent service and food quality fail to justify that forced investment. As out-of-town visitors, we found the pub completely unaccommodating. There were zero instructions on how to order, making it feel exclusively geared toward locals who already know the routine. We had to flag down a staff member wiping tables outside just to learn we needed to scan a QR code. The service we received after being forced to tip was incredibly disappointing. Our beet salad arrived first, but the runner dropped it off and vanished so quickly that we couldn't ask for a second silverware setting. Since we intended to share the salad, we had to wait. The salmon plate didn't arrive until roughly 15 minutes later. When we finally managed to ask our waiter for the extra silverware, he treated a basic hospitality request as a major inconvenience. Getting a simple fork felt like pulling teeth. The value for the price is simply not there. The grilled salmon plate was remarkably small--well under three ounces of fish. To make matters worse, the accompanying vegetables consisted of literally three skinny asparagus spears and two even thinner carrots. Between the aggressive upfront tipping, the small portion fish size, and the dismissive attitude of the staff, this establishment has massive room for improvement. I am leaving a two-star rating in hopes that management will reconsider their ordering system and address these glaring service deficiencies.
