    Chicken Sandwich
    Grant H.

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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!

    Hell Diver Hazy IPA ABV: 6.5 IBU: 40
    Mr C.

    Stopped at Mountain Rambler in Bishop because, let's be honest, no road trip is complete without "hydrating" with beer. Went with a hazy and a stout, because variety is the spice of life (and also because I like to pretend I know what I'm doing). The hazy looked like someone poured a glass of OJ and whispered the word "IPA" over it. Juicy, smooth, citrusy -- basically the IPA for people who want hops without getting punched in the taste buds. I could write something about "mouthfeel," but really it just felt like... beer in my mouth. A good one. The stout? Dark as my humor and smoother than my last apology text. Roasty, chocolatey, maybe even a hint of "my life is together now that I'm drinking this." Honestly, it's like coffee's cooler cousin who shows up late to brunch but pays for the whole check. So yeah -- Bishop might be small, but this place pours big. If you want fancy adjectives like "terroir" and "lacing," go read a beer blog. If you want two pints that will make you happy you stopped, just sit down and order.

    My favorite local eatery! Reasonably priced and delicious! They also have lovely nonalcoholic drinks called Shrubs. The blueberry lime is my favorite!

    Beef empanada

    It's Taco Tuesday so we started with a beef empanada. I ordered two roast beef tacos with house made chimichirri sauce, and my husband ordered the house burger with garlic fries. The restaurant is in what looks like an old Safeway grocery store- with wooden picnic benches. Decent list of beers. Very casual. You order then sit inside or out. The view is gorgeous. The staff were friendly and efficient.

    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 meal also came with a piece of cornbread. The cost of the sampler is $28. Brisket had a decent bark, although im not certain both sides of the brisket was seasoned but it was pretty tender. The smoke on the brisket was pretty aggressive, leaving ALMOST a bitter taste. Thankfully, I like a pretty aggressive smoke. Nice smoke flavor on the tri tip but also seemed to lack seasoning. Was otherwise pretty good. The sausage ended up tasting pretty good! The beans might have been ever so slightly undercooked, but otherwise tasted good. The mac and cheese says it is baked, but honestly, its hard to tell aside from the burnt cheese on top. Other than that, it was alright. The best part of the experience was the servers. They were super friendly and regularly checked on the guests. All in all, the food was just ok. Not sure it would be my first choice in eating spots in town though, especially considering the prices.

As other customers have commented, they make you feel like you're an inconvenience and charge you for it. Yet wait for it -because my friend went in today the very same day on Mother's Day totally different group of people and she had a bad experience too! On Mother's Day, I ordered an arugula salad (it wasn't on the menu yet I saw others eating it). It looked amazing, and I substituted the prosciutto for pesto/olive tapenade--great veggie option. Yes, the owners should make this a menu item. I also ordered a delicious Muscat dessert wine and a cupcake, and everything was pretty awesome. I asked why it wasn't on the menu, and they said people just come in knowing what to order. Several times I've ordered something from the menu, only to be told it's not available, which is confusing because then it comes back on the menu, and they get annoyed when you order something that is supposed to be served. Anyway, everything was great; I was treating myself and happy to splurge... until... Right after I received my food, the server immediately asked for my card. I requested her to bring the bill at the end, as usual, since I wasn't prepared to order more, and I thought the amount was enough. The rose frozen yogurt looked yum, so I decided to use a small sample cup instead of the plastic ones, as the girls were in the back. I didn't want to bother them and thought it would be a fun way to avoid waste. She rushed out with another server, almost making a scene--embarrassing, as I was about to take a photo and mention folks should eat there. She asked me to pay for the sample. I decided not to, and I'm glad I sent it back because the secret salad, not on the menu, was $20, and the wine along with the cupcake turned out to be nearly $40. Every place I've worked at that makes the customer happy usually gets a great tip! You'd think a sample wouldn't be a big deal. I definitely let her know, especially since it was already pricey. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've had service that's just not very nice. I want to let the owners know I love your location and your place, but the service is often rude. The blonde server was sweet and great, but the other "manager" was not. Many people I try to bring here cringe- we like the place, but they say the service is rude. The women make you feel uncomfortable with disapproving looks. Especially today, it's a day to honor mothers. If not, you'll hear from us with our tip. Tip: Would be a 5, but the energy of the servers drops it to a 2; the food raises it to a 3. Owners, you should know. I didn't leave a cash tip-- would have left $10 to be treated well. That's my tip. Every time we go back, we wonder if we want to deal with a mean server. Every time. then my friend, who also went there today for Mother's Day with her entire family they have a huge family. They brought four kids for adult adults and this is what she told me after I shared my review. "That's so crazy that you sent that they were so rude to me today the dark haired lady when I asked her what cupcake flavors she had left. It was like I was pulling teeth to get the flavors from her service is always crappy here." Owners please talk to your staff. They are just not nice.

We typically like sitting at the bar but bar seats were full so we opted for a table rather than wait. There are both high top and low top seating available as well as bar seating against the windows and fermentation silos. There is also seating outdoors if weather permits. The tables use a bar code scanning system to order food and drinks, then a person will deliver the food. I'm okay with this but I can see why some people would be frustrated with this process. For the appetizer we ordered the POBLANO ARTICHOKE DIP - $16 Artichoke, Poblano Chile, Corn, Cheddar, Colby Jack, Parmesan, Garlic, Mayonnaise, Sour Cream, Cream Cheese. Warmed and served with Pita bread or chips. We elected for the tortilla chips. This is a tasty appetizer and the perfect size for two people. For drinks we ordered two different hot cocktails served almost like a hot tea. Mulling it over - $17 Glass Creek Vodka, Mulled Spice Juice, Lemon. This was quite good and had a little bit of sweetness. The second was The Hot Toddy. $17. American Single Malt Whiskey, Lemon, Honey, Ginger. This tasted a little stronger and no sweetness. Do I think the drinks are a little expensive , yes. But sadly that is what you come across in a ski village. Personally I was a little shocked at how many families with young children were at the distillery but I've noticed that in almost every bar or brewery in Mammoth. Another good but different experience at Shelter Distilling.
