    We stopped in here after our 5-day backpacking trip on the JMT to grab a burger and brew. The blue cheese burger was excellent and I especially enjoyed the garlic fries with chunks of freshly roasted garlic. The sour was also enjoyed. The prices are what you'd expect from a tourist town. I think my meal was around $27 with tax. The service was average, neither friendly nor rude, just busy. They didn't provide any recommendations but answered my questions. You have to grab your own water and bus your table. No complaints here but if you are looking for more service, this may not be your jam. I'd definitely go back for another meal as it hit the spot! Although there wasn't music, I enjoyed the ambience and liveliness of this place. I appreciated the art on the walls as well.

    Those are homemade torts and chips. The pork in. This taco is insane and abundant!

    Great place to stop on 395. Amazing brews and superb salad and sandwiches. Today was Taco Tuesday so we enjoyed a bowl and tacos. The tacos were amazing. Homemade corn tortillas with abundant amount of exceptional pork.. Que bueno! Always clean, cool in the summer and wonderful service.

    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!

    Good beer and amazing food!…read more One thing to note, if you plan on buying a beer glass, make sure you put it in your bag immediately after purchase. My husband bought a beer glass, and several times the staff tried taking it because they thought it was a used empty glass lol and we told them it was ours that we bought. Unfortunately, they succeeded, and we didn't notice until we left that they had taken it again. So sadly we left without our glass and the $6 we paid for it lol. :( But in any case, the beer is good and the food is phenomenal. Definitely recommend the chorizo nachos. They are absolutely a great size, great price and have so many delicious toppings and the best beer cheese I've had in a while. They're a good size for two people if you're looking for something to share! We definitely plan to come back here in the future (and hopefully get another beer glass lol). It's absolutely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Parking was plentiful, even on a packed weekend, which was a huge plus. When we arrived, I chose outdoor seating because the whole setup had a nice aesthetic and was perfect for the vibe. Ordering through the QR code was super easy and straightforward. I ordered the BBQ pizza, onion rings, pretzel bites, and chicken tenders. Everything was really good! The onion rings were definitely the highlight for me. They had this super crisp texture that I honestly haven't experienced with onion rings before. The pizza was also good, and the cheese sauce was so yummy and added a lot of flavor. The pretzel bites were a little too salty for my liking because of the thick layer of salt, but once I brushed some of it off, they were actually really good. The chicken tenders were solid too and came out crispy and tasty. I also really appreciated that the service was more hands off. Sometimes you just want to sit down, eat, and enjoy your time without someone constantly checking on you, and this was exactly that. Everything was easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. Anywho, definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out! I'd come back just for those onion rings.

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced. This time I tried their mac and cheese, it was cheesy and I liked the type of pasta noodle they used that allowed it to get extra crispy and crunchy with the spiral texture, however it was a little dry and on the blander side for mac! The ordering system is great and straightforward, you order and pay on your phone and then food appears straight to your table! Genius, convenient and perfect for groups as there's no splitting the bill awkwardly at the end. And the dog friendliness is so clutch, our pups always enjoy the sunshine and rest. Really great spot I would recommend in a sea of terrible touristy Mammoth dining establishments.
