Miso salmon and kids fries
Veta v.

I ordered salmon with miso sauce, but it was not miso at all -- it was some kind of sour, completely different sauce. The fish was overcooked to the point of being dry and inedible. I had specifically asked to substitute the rice, but it was still served -- and there was a hair in it, which is absolutely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint. The kids' burger was overcooked to the point of being dry like a cracker, and the fries looked and tasted like they were cooked in old, repeatedly used oil. This is unsafe and unacceptable, especially for children's food. The steak was ordered medium well, but was served well done -- completely overcooked. The chimichurri sauce was also misleading: instead of the classic green sauce, a red mixture was served that had nothing to do with it. The coleslaw was simply awful. Additionally, the staff showed no proper response -- we were not offered a replacement, a discount, or even a proper apology. This reflects a complete disregard for service standards and customer care. In its current state, this does not meet even basic restaurant standards.

We stopped by for breakfast before heading out for a full day on the lake, and it was a good choice :) The place is super cute, the staff was friendly, and they have a great variety of breakfast options. Everything came out fresh, and the place was relaxed and welcoming. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

Good food, great staff free parking accessible inviting atmosphere. My wife and I each had one of their hash items for breakfast. They seem to use the same potato pepper base and then add your choice of a corn beef or barbecue brisket vegetarian etc. it served with homemade ketchup they've all the typical menu items for breakfast. They also do lunch and they do dinner. This spot has been a Mammoth tradition for years located on old Mammoth Road very easy to find if you're coming up from 395 the parking lot is after the restaurant not before.

At the bar area.

The Warming Hut was an unexpected surprise while at Mammoth! Great service and food is what this place is serving up daily! This place gets busy so arrive early. If you need to wait you can chill at the bar in the front and watch a ball game. This place has you covered. It's also worth noting that Warming Hut can handle large groups. We were a party of 10! The food...it's a bit of everything on the menu. I opted for the daily special which was a pair of birria tacos with side of rice and beans. The flavor was solid and the amount of food for the price was perfect. Overall, it's definitely a place I'd recommend if you're looking for a great place to eat and unwind while visiting Mammoth. You'll feel right at home!

The Warming Hut wasn't promising as much as we taught. Wait time was so long and no one did text us when the table was ready! We were waiting at car while the guests that were waiting inside were coughing without even covering their mouth. I checked the web that they sent when i got into reservation! The ambiance was ok but they were too busy and understaffed. I asked for straws and she brought with bare hand and tossed in sticky table. The food was !!! For appetizers we ordered garlic parmesan fries and crispy Brussels sprouts. Garlic fries was too gross and we didnt eat! It seemed they made it long time ago! The taste was awful and the sprouts were burnt. We also ordered Asian stir fry with cilantro lime rice with steak and salmon! The stake was black we asked for well done not burnt one...The salmon was too small with no flavor and too dry. I was surprised and disappointed to see bones in my grill salmon as ive never had this happen before when ordering grillled salmon on my salad. The stir veggies were super messy and watery on top of rice...Overpriced for what we got. $18 for Asian Stir fry, $10 for dry small salmon, $12 for burnt steak, $10 garlic parmesan fries and $15 for burnt Brussels sprouts. The parking was hectic so if you stay close by its better to walk.. Also, we sat next to the window and the wind was coming inside from closed windows and it wasnt pleasant.

How I felt after paying for my meal

Don't waste your money!!! I paid $28 dollars for a very small chicken breast with the tiniest portion of mashed potatoes and asparagus. And that was the highlight of our experience. I paid $40 for my wife's cold prime rib dinner with cold mashed potatoes and cold sautéed vegetables. She told them it was cold and they were kind enough to microwave it so that the meat was only slightly overcooked while the vegetables and potatoes didn't quite make it to what I'd call lukewarm. Horrible.

Chilaquiles, bacon, toast
Nate P.

Top marks for this spot. Be careful there can be a nice wait depending on when you get there. But it's definitely worth it. Take your time and walk around a bit, you'll need to work off your food anyway. I got an order of chilaquiles with a side of toast and bacon. The chorizo and salsa was incredible. Super flavorful and spicy. The bacon was thick and cooked perfectly. I demolished everything. Parking is very tight in their lot and can definitely get full. Place is smaller but has outside seating which you can take advantage of on a nice day.

Half order of biscuits and gracy
Mark F.

Cute breakfast spot that's dog friendly with good but maybe not amazing comfort food. We wanted a spot we could grab some breakfast that would allow dogs and found this spot. We came on a Sunday at 9 and it was just starting to get busy. 4 groups ahead of us but we got sat within 15 minutes or so. Nice servers and they check in pretty regularly so that was nice. We got the chilaquiles, chicken and waffles, and a half order of the biscuits and gravy. The chilaquiles has a nice kick of spice to it. I added chorizo which added a lot of oil which made the chips soggier which was a bit of a bummer but otherwise a good dish. The chicken and waffles were similarly solid. The chicken was pretty typical, well fried, decent seasoning, not dry. The waffles were fluffy and soft and prety tasty. The biscuits and gravy were also...good. A chunky gravy with lots of sausage. The biscuit was dry which was a bit of a bummer. I liked the outdoor space, nice area and they had dog bowls with water so they are actually dog friendly. All in all, a solid breakfast spot with good comfort food. Not the best but a place I would come back to.

This is the disgusting miso salmon that came out 30 minutes after my families meals and cost me $28
Mathilde P.

***If you are thinking about dining here please read! Save your money! My family and I dined there a few days ago, and from start to finish, it was a disaster. I ordered the miso glazed salmon, which not only tasted terrible but didn't even arrive until 30 minutes after everyone else at the table had already been served. Thirty minutes! By the time my meal came out, my family had already finished eating. Keep in mind, this was at 5:00 PM--there was no line, and the restaurant was nearly empty. There is absolutely no excuse for that kind of delay. I understand that salmon can take longer to prepare, but this was beyond unreasonable. The entire point of going out to eat is to enjoy a meal together--not to have everyone finish while one person is left sitting there waiting. That's the bare minimum expectation of a restaurant, and they completely failed at it. What made it even worse was the complete lack of acknowledgment. Our waiter said nothing about the delay. When the food finally did arrive, the waitress dropped the plate on the table, mumbled something about cooking time, and walked off without so much as an apology. No effort was made to fix the situation--no apology, no comped meal, not even a small gesture like offering dessert. We held off on complaining at first, expecting someone to recognize the mistake and make it right, but that never happened. This was beyond frustrating. The service was unacceptable, the food was mediocre at best, and the entire experience felt like a complete waste of money. This is completely unacceptable and absolutely needs to be brought to the attention of anyone considering dining here.

These are NOT the good fries. Make sure you ask for the homemade fries!!!
JackE D.

Usually pretty darn amazing! I LOVE the sunshine sandwich add an egg. BOMBBBB. Richie makes this place amazing. The fresh cranberry is also very impressive. My only complaint is the inconsistent fries. They have these homeade fries that are to die for. The homeade ketchup is also delicious. But in the slow times it seems that they switch out the good fries for frozen ones and they are not good. Pretty unfortunate that they seemingly punish the customers supporting them during the shoulder season. We will still come here as it really is good. But before we order fries next time we will now be asking if the have the good fries or not. ---- **highly** suggest you do this also ;)

Seated fast. They allowed us to move easily to give a bit of space. We started with chips and salsa with fry rub wings. Both were great!! I got an Epic IPA great flavor i sense a bit of orange / happy Joey took care of us today and was amazing!!! Burgers are large and tasty, they even have r8ce based GF buns. The salad is topped well and the ranch is so very good! Love some good ranch! The flat iron steak is so good and the creamy mashed potatoes are very creamy and tasty. Our experience was very good. Joey was so dang friendly!! 2nd visit for me. Will return again and again

We got here for a late lunch. They seated us promptly and we requested a seat change out of the corner which they accommodated without issue. Once seated our server told us right away they were switching to Happy Hour Menu in 20 minutes to prep for dinner service so requested we place our order post haste. We were a group of 7 and had a variety of food items across the table. The food was pretty good all around. The rueben was spectacular. We were checked up on sufficiently and staff is great here. If it ain't obvious yet, we had a great experience here.

Like Taco Bell, you pay in advance. Unlike Taco Bell, you are expected to leave a tip (for service), before you realize you will receive no service. Choose your own seating, call up the QR code (which asks you to enter your phone number, but you can work around that) and then gives you a sterile list for a menu. It's a distillery, but do not talk to the bartender. Order a margarita from the (surprisingly inexpensive) Taco Tuesday menu and it comes with a hard, dried citrus something floating on top that adds nothing to the experience of the drink (but does eliminate the need for the bartender to keep a fresh supply of citrus on hand). Otherwise, the margarita tastes OK. Not great. Your beet salad will not be "dressed" because that would take effort. Instead the dressing will be drizzled across the top and not even really touch the greens. Your burger will probably be tasty, as my husband's was. Your sweet potato taco will probably have too many raw onions across the top but otherwise be tasty as mine was. You will not interact with anyone other than your table companions. Even with his tasty burger, my husband called it a "soulless experience." Because the food itself seems to be decently cooked (though with minimal effort), this may be your spot if you are good with Taco Bell.

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced.

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.

Erin went above and beyond and brought out two complete splits for us. It was very kind. My husband ordered the pork chops and said they were excellent. Everything was really good that night, but we sat outside, near the end where they used to have a yoga studio, but now it's a bar of some sort. The competing music was annoying. My husband and I returned again and everything was back to normal. We did sit closer to the front door, but the music seemed to be just fine. Eric was our server with assistance from Em and Brian. Everybody was so attentive and on top of things. The minute my water glass was half empty, Brian had it filled up. The owner, Matt, even came out to say hello. We told him that we have been following him since he was chef at the gas station My husband and I are older and don't eat as much as we used to.

It was fully blended and smooth -- no big chunks -- and while it wasn't the most memorable soup ever, it definitely hit the spot after being out in the cold all day. The Oyster Rockefeller was the highlight. Perfectly done. The oysters tasted fresh, the spinach flavor came through nicely, and the crispy topping added the perfect crunch. I planned to have just one... ended up eating two. For the main, we ordered the steak medium well. It came out more charred on the outside than expected, so it wasn't amazing, but still solid. The fries were great though -- especially paired with beer. Overall, the food was good but not extraordinary. However, the service -- especially from Alonso -- really elevated the experience. Because of that, and the cozy post-snowboard vibe, this earns 5 stars.
