I have always used my husband's account to access Yelp and we often rely on the reviews when traveling to unfamiliar areas, but I thought I should start leaving my own reviews and my visit to Whiskey Creek will be a great start! Whiskey Creek in our home town of Mammoth was always a joy, but the restaurant in Bishop was our favorite and we were so happy to hear they had opened back up!! We came down on Saturday night for the Night of Lights and wanted to try our old favorite after the parade. I had the Pesto Chicken pasta and it was better than I remember! The service was prompt and polite. Our bus boy/food runner (William or Wesley maybe... I can't remember) was the most pleasant young man (not always the case with young men and women these days), which is nice to see! The visit was a pleasure. We will stop in whenever down the hill from Mammoth! Great job, glad to see you are reopen! read more

I travel quite often throughout the year. I've had the opportunity to eat just about every dish from every nation around the world. I'm not afraid to try something new or something old. I choose to eat at Whiskey Creek in Bishop California and its earned the 5 stars I've never given a restaurant. I had the New Zealand Rack of Lamb medium Cooked. I had this dish in San Francisco a couple of years ago and never had Lamb since, Rhonda the server suggested the dish and I agreed to give it a try. My goodness, it was tender and juicy with nothing but its natural flavor. When you bite into the meat it dissolves pleasantly into your palate and the aroma of the meal teases you for more. The Lamb is only the beginning because it's complemented with soup or salad and a fancy Veggie mix. I'll be back for the service and the food. Awesomenees in the making!!! read more

This place makes you feel like home. Every time I'm here which is about four times a week. The manager Jen makes it a point to say hi. Tommy and kim in the bar are more than willing to make sure my requests are taken care of. And, Rhonda who is now only in the dining room and very much missed in the bar is just my absolute favorite. She brings a different level of service to Bishop. I have visited many diifferent bar/restaurants in the area Whiskey Creek has always been a great experience. My hats off to the person who offered them their jobs. These people are what makes Whiskey Creek that amazing experience that it is!! read more

We came in Monday night and were promptly greeted with a smile by the bartender, Miranda. We ordered drinks and were going to wait for a booth to eat. After enjoying the service at bar, we decided to stay and eat at the bar. I had the fish and chips, my coworker had the wings and a salad. Food was mediocre, which is why I gave 3 stars, but the bartender was awesome and funny and she deserves 5 stars! Updating my review because of the prompt and concerned response by the owner. Excellent customer service, and we will be back again. read more

The meal all together was $70 and we got robbed. ROBBED. The service itself was okay, and I will give credit where it's due: the cook actually came out and asked if we liked our food. I was honest and told him we didn't. He took the feedback with a positive attitude, which I genuinely appreciated. But unfortunately, that doesn't change the experience. Between the hour-long wait and the quality of the food, I honestly don't understand how this place has a 4.9 rating. It is BAFFLING to me.

I asked if the cashew chicken had green onion in it. "No". Everything was a no. I made a comment about being picky I guess. My husband ordered the sesame beef and we both ordered the shrimp fried rice. I didn't order anything else because I got a bad vibe but my husband was embarrassed and I got upset and I left. I came on this site and noticed that the egg rolls are vegetable egg rolls so I called to confirm. Menus change? Who knows? I was told on the phone that they have beef rolls- quantity of 2 or vegetable egg rolls- quantity of 4. What the ????? Horrible service. I will never set a foot in this place.

The food is very good. Not spectacular, and not gourmet, by any means, but very good American fare. The service is also very good, and the current owner is an asset to the community in many ways. But it is the ambiance that really makes it special. It dates back to 1917, and looks it. The dining room has a big fireplace and is paneled with knotty pine. There are a lot of doo-dads about which give the place a lot of character. Next to the dining room is a small bar, similarly festooned with a lot of entertaining doo dads. Tom's place is an official watering hole of ECV, and that alone tells you something about the place. They also have a small general store with convenience food and supplies, as well as simple souvenirs like t-shirts and coffee mugs. Have a look there while you are at it. To give you a sense of the place, consider the attached photograph. It is of the stairway to the restrooms downstairs. That doorway is low enough that a tall person might possibly hit their head, hence the admonishment. That's it in a nutshell. This is either your kind of place or not. But it is surely mine!

Upon arrival to Tom's place, I let my service animal walk around for second before picking her up…read moreto carry her into the restaurant. I was immediately met on the porch by the owner? A short, portly, long blond/ grey hair lady who instantly barked that pets were not allowed in Tom's place. I informed her that my dog is a service animal, and she immediately raised her voice and started accusing me of lying. She demanded to see paperwork that would prove that my dog is a service animal, I asked her to wait a minute while I pull it up on email and she would not stop raising her voice and basically yelling at me. I had lost my reading glasses the day before and could not see well, I was trying to pull up the email while she was yelling at me. She said she had reading glasses she could sell me, but I needed to show her the proof that my dog was a service animal before she would let her in the store. My dog was now shivering profusely because it was coldish and windy, she pointed it out and I informed her that my dog is shivering from the cold, and we are just hungry this is a huge waste of time, because she is a legal service animal, but I am now under too much stress and cannot see without my glasses to pull up the digital proof that she demands before we enter. I informed her that this was illegal, and she started berating me, telling me I don't know what the law is. She than started being condescending and asking me if I know what ADA stands for. I told her that I am a RN, and that just made her louder and more unruly. If anyonlie from the state wants to talk, I allow YELP to release my email address to them. I have had my service animal for years, and never a problem. I have actually had her in Tom's place before without a problem. I have no idea why a small restaurant owner would rather cause potential litigation and undue stress upon potential customers and break the law and demand proof of service animal legitimacy than just let people with service animals live their best lives in peace. I did not need this experience and neither did the friend that was with me or my service animal . WHO THE HELL CARES IF SOMEONE HAS A SMALL DOG THAT IS SILENT. Unfortunately for you, she is a service animal. I have paperwork. In this day and age in California, they are letting many crimes go unpunished, as it is now racist to prosecute anything. So to all the small restaurant owners out there that give people undue stress about service animals which are not a crime, just shut your mouth, take our money, and obey the law.
