A tasty, highly rated place close to the hotel in Lone Pine. There were about 12 tables inside and a bunch more outdoor seats, but with the hot weather, everyone opted for indoor dining. The waitstaff were attentive and quick; the only thing that took some extra time was the pork chops! I got the Grill's Burger (grilled pineapple, coleslaw) with fries and it was a nice, cool treat. The crinkle cut fries were tasty too. read more

We ended up coming here twice in the same number of days; the second time was because of a bad experience at Alabama Hills Cafe & Bakery. The first time we arrived, we were greeted so kindly by Jerry. She was warm, patient, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. Food was solid with good portions. Jerry also provided a bowl of water for our dogs when it was hot outside. She made sure they were comfortable in the outside patio where we dined. We were hoping to see Jerry again on our second visit but service was still good and friendly. But Jerry is the reason we hope to come back the next time we're in the area. read more

Our destination - Independence, 17 miles north of Lone Pine. Our issue if the night; we wantedto dine on more than snacks and Independence eateries were out of buziness or closed. Driving to Lone Pine we found The Grill. Open. Ready to feed us. Our bodies are recovering the bits and pieces we left behind on our 2026 Western Express Tour. Writing 10 days post-return I am 90% sure we split a tasty pulled pork sandwich and a side of cole slaw. Ambiance; neat clean modern diner with outdoor picnic table seating. Service was friendly and accurate, food very good We felt lucky finding a restaurant open in the Owens Valley. No complaints. read more

We recently ate at The Grill twice during our stay in Lone Pine & sadly I forgot to take a picture of any food. The first visit we had lunch: The Grill Burger with the slaw, pineapple & upgraded to onion rings for the side, Cheeseburger with fries as the side. The second visit we both ordered the Battered Fish which came with a nice side salad, fries & coleslaw. The burgers were good, onion rings fantastic especially with the ranch for dipping. The battered fish was very filling/ tasty, fries were good, salad was fresh/ crisp. There is about 12 tables inside with outside seating available. The service is fantastic & friendly. Location is great with easy access to parking read more

Pretty solid joint for a nice snack off the 395. I'm preparing for a massive hike next month, so I got something relatively healthy hehe. The blackened chicken sandwich had a really good flavor to it, and was pretty delicious. I got it with the side salad and it was mediocre. The french fries here are really good though, stole some from my partner's plate. He had the burger, which he thought was just ok as well. Service was incredibly friendly, and this place is very dog friendly. I have a small Chihuahua who I considered to be my child, and they really treated him like a human, which I appreciate. read more

The entry is a bit confusing (one door for entry around the building from the parking lot, and one set of doors that lead to the patio for exit?) but once inside it was quiet, clean and cool. Sit wherever you want is nice, so we sat by the window. A friendly lady greeted us, took our drink order and returned shortly for our food order. The menu is sparse, mostly sandwiches and lunch options, with some salad options as well. We ordered a BLT & a patty melt, fries, onion rings & two waters. The BLT had thick cut bacon, and some of the freshest lettuce & tomatoes I've ever had. The patty melt was bland and flavorless. The fries and onion rings were good. For sandwiches, it's a little on the pricy side at $56 for two, also considering we had water to drink, so with all the other options in town, I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone passing through, but it wasn't bad. We got a cookie to go and it was super dry so maybe skip those if you go here. read more

The Grill is the spot to go to for some yummy hooot food. They don't call this place "The Grill" for nothing. I was in town for a camping trip and my trusted Yelp App listed this local restaurant as one of the options for lunch. With the high ratings, I couldn't pass up on this foodie experience. Our waitress, Jerry, was FANTASTIC! She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the California Burgers and let me tell ya'll...sooo hot and juuuicy...perfectly cooked and seasoned. The onion rings and coleslaw were both delish. I highly recommend The Grill. It was welcoming with a laidback home-like atmosphere. The table service was tippity top of top notch :-) read more

After hiking early we stopped by for breakfast/brunch, but they don't serve breakfast, so we went with the lunch options and their menu was full of plenty of different options. I went w the Santa Fe, and while it was good, the flavors were fairly plain, even w the chilis on top. Usually a 'patty melt' style is fairly greasy/buttery, but this was more toasted than grilled, so that cut out any greasy mess on your fingers (but could've provided a bit more flavor). My friend loved his salmon burger with egg and said he'd easily order it again. The staff was pleasant, the place was clean and the food was clearly made out of quality ingredient and professionally served. We were there right at opening, and despite a low music, there's not much ambience to the place, but once the crowds show up, it gets a little more audibly loud which was better than the empty room. read more

Great option for lunch break on the way to Mammoth We had the Chicken Avocado Pita and the Cobb Salad . Both a good read more

My husband and I stopped in for dinner this past Saturday evening and were so impressed with this small-town gem! Service was incredibly quick and friendly, and the menu was extensive. My ginger salmon and vegetables were delicious, and my husband loved his half roasted BBQ chicken. We did not have dessert here, but wish we would have- the pies all looked amazing! Certainly worth a stop anytime you are looking for a meal in Lone Pine! read more

During my visit to Lone Pine, I came here a few times and it was just delicious! The service is also great, the waitress Terry I believe was her name was just a sweetheart and extremely welcoming! The place itself is very well kept, really clean. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating. Doggies are welcome which was a plus for me since I bring my fur baby practically everywhere with me. I tried the salmon Caesar salad and that was perfect. The salad and salmon were both fresh and very well prepared. read more

A fine place for delicious food and great service. Unfortunately I didn't get the names of my lady server, the chef, and the busboy (the chef's identical twin brother) though all contributed to a wonderful meal for an extremely weary traveler who had just traversed Death Valley. read more

Short: A fantastic dinner spot in the heart of Lone Pine--friendly service, tasty food, and a great selection of homemade desserts! Long: Lone Pine has some excellent dining options, and The Grill is definitely one of them. I had the California burger, which was packed with flavor, and the homemade fries were a perfect side. For dessert, the homemade cheesecake with berries was rich and delicious. The service was warm and welcoming, and our waiter had a great sense of humor. A great place to relax and enjoy a sit-down meal! read more

My friend and I were driving down the US-395, so we stopped here for lunch. Service was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and personable, coming to check if we needed anything multiple times. We ordered the Salmon Patty Topped with an Egg and Salmon Caesar Salad. It was a good portion and we were full at the end. Everything was great; only thing that I noticed was that the tables are rather sticky. read more

Make the drive from Ridgecrest just for the burgers!!! Well worth it!! Always awesome service too

The place is clean and has a clean restroom. The host is friendly. But the food was very subpar for the pricing. We had two order of burgers which were okiesh. And we also had an order of butter noodles from the kids menu which had unhealthy amounts of butter (the hostess did mention upon asking that you have to explicitly ask for less butter). And there was hair at the bottom of the pasta which was not acceptable. Maybe just a bad day at the kitchen here. Also the lamps are so low over the table my husband bumped into it twice read more

The food was decent! Could be worse! The potato salad was a little bland for me but it being house made was super interesting. The burger was good the pineapple on the burger was phenomenal. The size of the ranch sauce made me giggle had to include it. The server was so sweet and kind. The place it self was clean and spacious. You don't feel crowded. Would definitely go back and try something else! read more

The Grill - Ranch Dipping Sauce - American Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Highlights: yummy crunchy fries, cheerful, slightly sassy servers Lows: sweet Louisiana batter on fish that seemed like it was out of the freezer, "chili side" burger isn't a normal chili cheeseburger but rather a massive bowl of bland bean chili with a cheeseburger buried the middle (add bacon for $4 and a coke and you're out $32 with tip for just the "Chili Side"), slow to refill drinks. Don't go for the food. Not sure how this place is rated 4.2 with 800 reviews, maybe a lack of competition. Still love Lone Pine. What a beautiful little town. read more

Superb service, friendly and courteous staff especially Adam. Food was good and not over priced.

Great place to stop by on the way to Mammoth. Got there a little over 8:30pm on a Friday night and the place was pretty packed. The place is pretty big and if it isn't freezing, there are plenty of tables outside. Huge parking lot available. Luckily we were able to get a table quick. Was greeted by Jenny (I think that was her name) who was very friendly and sweet. Even though it was busy and it looked like she was the only server, she took her time with us and didn't make us feel rushed. - Ordered the burger with onion rings. One of the best onion rings I've had- perfectly crisp and delicious. - Hubby got the pulled pork sandwich which was flavorful and good. The fries were nice and crispy. I was stuffing my face with onion rings so I forgot to take a picture of his. Needed something quick and delicious and this place definitely hit the spot. It was also very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend. read more

I just walked over from the Alabama Hills Bakery and Cafe since they wanted to provide TERRIBLE service and ignored me for 20 minutes while they wasted their time. ANYWAY- we walked over here after that fiasco and were immediately sat and served our cold drinks. The lady that runs the front is a one woman show and provided the best service ever- quick and efficient. A stark contrast from the aforementioned Bakery that had 20 staff and somehow couldn't get their sh!t together. I ordered the Blt with fries and it hit the SPOT! Love it! read more

The Grill - BLT with fries. - American Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Everything costs about $20.00 and up. I hate to say this but you would be better off going to a fast food restaurant, if no other options are available. We were not looking for perfection by any means, but there are basic cooking skills necessary and expected by the average person. 1. Salt the water when you cook pasta. 2. Don't break the pasta up and cook it. Your customers can wind it on their forks. It is for them to handle. If you are calling it linguine, or calling it anything specific, it should retain the shape of which it is named. Otherwise, your menu description should perhaps characterize it as the general term 'macaroni'. 3. Adding a premade sauce to pasta that has no depth of flavor is just a sin. You can easily cook down onion, peppers, garlic, etc. as a base. The sauces have no flavor whatsoever. The butter sauce must be unsalted butter as well. Literally, no flavor. The spicy sauces just taste 'hot', not a developed heat. And again, not looking for perfection here, but come on - my ten year old nephew can accidentally do better. 4. Adding a ton of cheese to pasta is not adding flavor. Adding a hunk, or mound, of blue cheese to a burger does not make the patty any better. Simply put, you know when you eat at a restaurant and it is memorable? This one is for all the wrong reasons. Everyone in our party remembers it - always will. Horrible. read more
