I ordered two dishes during my visit: Gravy Train (with scrambled eggs) - This one felt very worth it since it comes with potatoes, bacon, and a biscuit. The fried chicken was big, well-fried, and not dry at all. I really liked it, though I felt the gravy could've been a bit hotter. Still, I'd give this dish a solid 4.5/5. Country Fried Steak - Served with gravy and potatoes, similar to the Gravy Train but with steak instead of chicken. The steak was nicely thick and very filling. There's limited parking available. I went on a Wednesday so it wasn't too crowded, but I still waited about 20 minutes. read more

One item is all you need - CINNAMON SWIRL FRENCH TOAST. My goodness, I subbed this into the Stove Special and I was glad I did. Perfect flavor and texture to go along with my eggs and bacon. PS the bacon is also really good - such great flavor and crispiness, they do it so consistently, it's amazing. The staff are very kind, and show they're happy to be helping the guests. They are quick, efficient, and friendly. I'LL BE BACK EVERY TIME I AM IN MAMMOTH. Side note - Inside, it seemed like trying to get a high chair to a table safely would be an issue. I noticed how the tables/booths were set up, a high chair would stick out into an aisle which would cause a disturbance. read more

I've been here twice. Two weeks apart to be exact. : short and sweet - it's a good breakfast spot. Service: 5/5 The first time I came it was with a group of 7. The second time I went it was only 3. We got seated quickly. They took our orders fast, food was brought out very quickly for our party size and overall I think we spent less than an hour there both times. They are good for large parties! Food: Solid for a mountain town. 5/5 * Chocolate chip pancakes with bacon,eggs, hot chocolate, and the French toast. (I would order tho again multiple times). * Everyone I went with enjoyed their meal and someone even took a whole pie home. Parking: good if they aren't busy. The first time we went the whole lot was full. The second time it was fairly easy to park. Price: would land somewhere int the 25-30 dollar range per person and that's on the higher end read more

The Stove in Mammoth Lakes is a must! The food is delicious and hearty with large servings. The service is friendly and attentive. The interior has such a fun, nostalgic charm with the wood booths, vintage kitchen wear on the walls and old tin canisters of the food products This makes the atmosphere cozy and memorable. It is the perfect spot to fuel up before a day on the slopes or after a tiring day on the slopes- highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This is a very busy and popular and busy brunch place. It is known for their chicken fried steak. It was excellent and crunchy and not overwhelming with the gravy. I had the prime rib hash which was decent with the seasoned hash prime rib bits with potatoes underneath with an egg your style. The staff was very nice and attentive and service was good and the pies looked delicious but I didn't have enough stomach. The atmosphere was lively brunch and the place was bustling. It can be a little cramped but it's cozy and cute. read more

Fantastic breakfast spot! We ordered the omelette, tri-tip hash with a side order of short stack. We came later in the morning so we were seated immediately. Service was great and we enjoyed our meals. This will be a go to spot for breakfast/brunch. read more

This place is hella good for breakfast, show up early because it gets packed and smack your face with a Sunrise Skillet, you'll thank me later. Staff is cool, they're attentive and quick to get you coffee or whatever's. Always a must stop in Mammoth to feed your beast. Got myself a Stove hat to rock their place, free advertising to keep this place rocking. Boom read more

I was surprised I haven't reviewed the Stove. I've been coming here for decades. The Stove is the quintessential breakfast spot. They have a wide selection of breakfast options.

Group of 7 at 1:30pm 12/26/25 (they close at 2PM) and everyone opted for lunch fair. Cheeseburgers, patty melts, French dip sandwiches all cooked to perfection. 3 of us opted for soup of the day side (instead of fries) and we were treated to next level cup of flavorful meatball soup, maybe best ever?!Albóndigas deliciousness. Fries are solid, but the Zucchini Fries were plump, lightly battered and flavorful (see photo). Friendly wait staff and food arrived quickly. Only drawback, we never saw our waiter again - water glasses left empty and had to call into the kitchen (awkward) for to-go containers. Still, the kitchen staff overcame any shortcomings up front (and we arrived near closing) so we're going with 5 Stars!! read more

Solid breakfast place. Some good gluten free options with a local vibe. Staff is friendly and service is pretty fast, even on a busy day. The corned beef hash was really good, as were the GF pancakes. Worth a stop while you are in between skiing or hiking! read more

This is the place for breakfast in Mammoth Lakes! WOW. Low key, down to earth, honest to goodness, just like grandma used to make it. Generous portions, excellent service, and reasonable prices are just the starters. Everything is cooked to order, with fresh ingredients, and none of those "fresh-out-of-the-freezer" ingredients. The sausages, the country potatoes, everything was just perfect. Give yourself and the family a treat and stop in to the Stove to start your day. This is one I'm putting on my "repeat" list! read more

We go to Mammoth almost every year for vacation. We have tried many different restaurants.One of our favorite places is Burgers. We have been eating there since 1982. This year we found The Stove Restaurant. The minute we walked in the staff was very nice and friendly we were seated quickly and our server took our order right away. We split the turkey club sandwich with sweet potato fries. This sandwich was delicious and the fries were amazing too. The sandwich was so large that even though we each had a half we could not finish our sandwich and we had lots of SP fries left over. It's very busy but it wasn't loud and you felt like you were at home. We will be going back there every time we visit Mammoth. #1 Breakfast/Brunch place. read more

Must try breakfast spot! Service is great; very personable. Staff was attentive. Busy, but has outside seating. I would definitely come back. Food was amazing! Veggie omelet was packed with veggies. A lot of cheese so if you don't like a lot, I would ask for less. I also asked for homemade salsa on the side, very tasty. Biscuits are homemade, nice and moist. read more

Total 5 star fun and great food. We arrived on a Sunday at prime lunch time. About a 20 minute wait to get a table and another wait to get menus but HEY...it's a SUNDAY prime lunch time, so we did not think this was unreasonable. I ordered a BLAT with fried zucchini and a large ranch dressing. Blat is a BLT with avocado. The bread slices are not huge but even though I was super hungry I I had to take half away to eat later on the road trip. The reason I couldn't eat it all was because the FRIED ZUCCHINI WAS THE BEST I'D EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I still love it even when it's just OK. But this is WONDERFUL. Why more restaurants do not offer it instead of fries I do not understand. Their "batter" HERE is spectacular and it is COOKED to PERFECTION. Please check my pictures. I will drive off 395 next time I'm near Mammoth JUST FOR THIS FRIED ZUCCHINI! Usually the ranch on the side at OTHER restaurants is not enough. It's in a small plastic container and half full. That's why I asked for a large...when my plate arrived, the ranch was in a soup cup. (:-) I was soooo tickled. That quadrupled her tip...seriously. Our waitress was awesome. I should have gotten her name to compliment her. My friend had a burger with a bunch of stuff he ordered "on the side". See the picture. His burger was pretty big and he was hungry and still took half away along with a few fries. Both our meals were GREAT. People were gushing over the PIES. You can buy whole pies as well as individual sizes they call Cutie Pies. They certainly look deliciously homemade. We should have gotten a Cutie to go. We regretted that later when we polished off our leftover meals at Topaz Lake in a turnout watching the water before our last leg home. If you live local you know The Stove...if you are passing by & looking for delicious food served by nice people in a fun casual environment, you will NOT be disappointed here. If you have the time for a nice 2 mile-ISH walk...mostly level-ISH check out the HorseShoe Lake Loop trail. I've driven 395 past Mammoth for literally 3.5 DECADES and we never took the time to stop. So this time we DID take the time and I'm thrilled we did. Don't pass Mammoth by for 35 years like I did...Go check it out and eat delicious food at The Stove!

They have an amazing vegan option: get the veggie burger with no mayo, and replace with cucumber and spinach. I also got fruit and textured vegan protein sauteed (they called it tofu crumble or something but it's TVP). Incredibly tasty To the owners: I hope you can add the tofu crumble to the menu as I found out it was available only when I asked the server. Label it as textured vegan protein.

So glad we stopped here. Cutest little country house antique vibe place. The veggie omelet was delicious with house potatoes. Perfectly seasoned and flavorful with side biscuit for small extra charge. Wait wasn't too long. Good service just know it's typically a full house so don't expect food out in a snap. Definitely check it out. read more

Food was okay. I got the gravy train, in my opinion it was missing flavor besides the taste the portion size was decent. $4.25 for a small 8oz cup of juice was a bit of a let down. Service was good, nice workers. Can say it was a cute breakfast and lunch spot, but not worth the price I paid. read more

Always a great spot for breakfast. Ordered tuna on rye, huevos rancheros and a kids plate. Tuna was delicious and came with a heaping side of mac n chz. Huevos rancheros were delicious (tip: request fried serranos) and one kids plate happily fed both our kiddos. Service was great! Everybody was extremely friendly.

First time back in years and first time bringing the kids - it still slaps!! The people are nice, food is hearty and delicious, the decor is fun, and the coffee is flowing. Kids' pancake, egg, bacon did not have a bite left! They loved the scrambled egg (they are hard to please) and the giant pancake. Kids menus and hot coco kept them happy until food arrived. The Sunrise skillet and omelette were so good and filling! Love it all!! read more

Pretty delicious. The Stove is located in Mammoth. It's a local's favorite. They serve breakfast and lunch only. When my husband and I go to Mammoth, we have to stop here for breakfast. Their waffles are divine. You can choose your toppings for it too. Toppings may vary according to the season. Some toppings include strawberries with whip cream, banana and nuts, and blueberries to name a few. And the butter with the waffles or pancakes is home made and whipped to perfection. The service is quick too and everything tastes fresh and yummy. I want to go back on a future trip and try some other items like their omelets; there is an option to create your own omelets mmm. Recommend coming here during your vacation stay. read more

We hadn't been to the stove in many years because we typically eat breakfast early and then go out for a hike. We took a break from hiking and visited the stove. The staff was friendly, the food came out hot and everything was very tasty. We especially enjoyed the flavor of the pancakes, but would've liked them to be cooked just another minute or two more. They were slightly doughy in the middle. . The bacon was very good. We will definitely be back to have pancakes on our next visit. read more

Very disappointed in my breakfast this morning. 5-20-2026. My breakfast included eggs, turkey sausage patties, BURNT POTATOES, and English muffins. With apricot & strawberry jam. The eggs were scrambled ok. Turkey sausage patties had no flavor and were dry. The POTATOES were the biggest disappointment. Country so-called potatoes were barely edible. Most of them were overcooked and not at all good. My friend didn't touch his potatoes for that reason. Best part of my breakfast was the apricot jam for my English muffin. I don't come to Mammoth but 2 times a year for the past 45+ years. My friend had a veggie omelette and said it was good. Another friend had French toast that wasn't, prepared to his specific liking. Ask for no cinnamon, but order still had cinnamon. (I know right. Who orders French toast without cinnamon?) ‍ Needless to say, the breakfast was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. WORST BREAKFAST EVER IN MAMMOTH. WILL NEVER RETURN. Restaurant was fairly quiet, and just a few customers. read more

We decided to eat here while visiting Mammoth mountain, because my parents stated they used to come there before I was born and they remember always loving it.

I would give this place 2.5 stars. My husband talked me into going to The Stove restaurant for lunch. I went there last year and I did not liked the beef hash I had but he said that the pork chop he had last year was good. So I decided to give this restaurant another chance. Both of us ordered the pork chop this time. The pork chop entree comes with two eggs cooked your way, potatoes with gravy. The pork chop was dry which was very disappointing. The eggs were fine. The potatoes and gravy were good. With both pork chop entrees overcooked and last year's beef hash also dry and over cooked, I doubt that I would be going back there. I wonder why this place has such good reviews on Yelp! The only thing I liked about this place was the decor. It has many kitchen decors (ie kitchen tools, spices, chicken and rooster figurines...etc). read more

We ordered a cheeseburger and a grilled chicken sandwich that came with a bowl of soup. The soup was served on the same plate as the sandwich, which made the bread completely soggy. I brought it up, and the owner was very kind and replaced the bread right away, which I appreciated. That said, the chicken sandwich still wasn't good. The chicken was dry and cold, and overall it just didn't taste fresh. My husband's cheeseburger was better, and he thought it was decent. The service was not very attentive. read more
