Restaurant you can throw a snowball at:

  • Roberto’s– Across Old Mammoth Road.  We go here at least once a week.  Maybe because we are lazy, or maybe because they have the best chips, guacamole and margaritas.
  • Grumpy’s Sports Bar–Across Old Mammoth Road, great place to watch sports, The food is ok, but the kids like it. Also, good place to get quarters for laundry if the bank or Vons is closed.
  • Jimmy’s- (Med-Greek) and The Red Lantern (Chinese).  One is upstairs and one is downstairs. Both super Yummy! Across the street on the corner.
  • CJ’s– Across Old Mammoth Rd.  I have only eaten here once.  But the burger was great and so was the doughnut we had for dessert.

Restaurants, short walk:

  • The Tavern– Our favorite place to have a drink and dinner. We love to sit at the bar. Many locals and visitors alike. Right down on Old Mammoth Road, about 100 yards past Vons. They have the best Moscow and Kentucky Mules.  Although you can bring your kids here, I would save it for an adult night.
  • The Brasserie– Upstairs in Mammoth Rock and Bowl.  This a nice to have dinner if you don’t want to leave the kids at home or pay for a babysitter.  Fancy- (for Mammoth), great food and views on the deck if the weather is ok.   The kids can bowl downstairs while you have a nice meal.
  • Giovanni’s– Great pizza, sit down style. In Vons center.  Good before a movie.
  • The Stove– Down on Old Mammoth Rd. towards Vons. Best breakfast spot in town.

Restaurants in the Village:

  • Burgers– Actually across from the Village.  Not fancy and kid friendly, but food and service is always excellent.  They have much more than burgers and inexpensive. One of our favorites for lunch.
  • Campo– Upscale Italian, very good.  Kid friendly, but not inexpensive for pizza. Have a great Thursday Date night special.
  • SmokeYard– Good BBQ and steak.  We go here often when in the Village.  Kid friendly or just adults good too.
  • Kitchen 53– New “Underground” spot.  Hip spot with great music, drinks and food.  Known for their burgers.  Not kid friendly.
  • Sushi Rei– I am a sushi snob, and this place is pretty good and best of all the sushi spots in town.
  • Mammoth Brewery– You will see bottles around out place feel free to bring in a fill up for cheap.

There are many more, but these are our favorites.  Keep in mind, some places are closed from Late April to June and September to November.
