Stopped by this restaurant for dinner on a recent trip to Mammoth. The interior is just so cute and cozy - it's like walking into Grandma's log cabin, if Grandma had a full bar and room for eighty people in her living room.
As for the food, the entrees are either hit or miss. The pink smoked chicken was tender, juicy, and flaky - perfect, in short. The brisket was tender and edible, but lacked any interesting flavors. I do like the fact that all entrees come with your choice of one of their many sides, and they start you off with complimentary cheese biscuits and yummy honey butter.
If you are a foodie with a discriminating palate, there is no complexity of flavor or intricate innovations to be found here. If you are a hungry person looking for a warm place to sit down with friends and family, you'll be quite happy here. This place gets bonus points for their super friendly service - a rarity these days! The servers were great at handling our large, rowdy group, but I also spotted them striking up lengthy conversations and frequently checking in on older patrons dining alone. These little details really make or break a dining establishment. I'd return to Angel's if I came up to Mammoth again. -

I am amazed at the high reviews for Angels. I am purely rating the 1 star based on the steak salad I ordered which was easily one of the worst meals I have ever had. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out grey. It was grey colored meat. I attempted to eat it, but it was almost all fat and the part I could cut off was so chewy I had to spit it out. The tomatoes were the palest color of red and the onion was cut up so big it was more of an onion salad. They need to take this off the menu.
There are so many good places to eat in Mammoth (Gomez's, Whisky Creek, The Smokeyard, Side Door) I don't know why anyone would go here.
The waitress never checked to see how our food was, not that I would have ordered anything else, but I would have expressed that it was inedible.
I will say that my husband and his friend really enjoyed their ribs. -

The service here is quick and friendly, and the food comes out big and delicious. I've tried the smoked tofu fajitas (not sure it's there anymore), fish and chips, and tostada salad. The entree salads are large -- the tostada one was one of the best I've had, not drowned in sour cream and didn't come in a big fried bowl. The fish and chips were just okay.
The boysenberry cobbler was very delicious -- more bread-y than berry-y, but it was very good with the vanilla bean ice cream with which it is served.
Best thing is the prices... for the food, the prices are pretty darn good. -
Review from Jackie G.
As soon as I came back to Mammoth, this was the first stop for food. In my opinion the food here is really good.
I knew Mel and her husband the owners who are very friendly as is their staff.
The meats they use is predominantly smoked and fresh every day and I assure you the rib and chicken meat come right off the bone and is plenty tender. The meat could use a little more flavor in the dry rub seasoning but I douse it with their Spicy BBQ sauce anyway, so it's all good.
Everything they make here is homemade and full of flavor. They bring you a starter basket of small buscuit scones before the meal, but they're more like a buscuit and not a scone. It doesn't take away the fact they're yummy regardless.
I would recommend trying their Clam Chowder which is very creamy, has lot's of clam, tastes fresh and has good spices added.
Service was just okay, and I say 'just okay' because I asked for their salad and the server and I had just finished discussing which dressings I wanted with it but she brought me the chowder instead. It wasn't quite busy yet, so there was no excuse for not getting my simple order correct. Just be aware that even when servers write down your order to make sure if something is on the table you didn't order to let them know and they will take care of it for you..no problem.
I didn't want to waste the chowder, so I ate it anyway.
If you come to Mammoth a lot and you like beer, you should join the Beer Tour, so ask about it next time you go by there.
You need to drink 99 beers at your leisure as many days, weeks or months it will take you of which there are several on the list both from tap to bottle. You need to drink it completely without help from others to get it checked off on the list. There are about 19 other beers left blank that you get to pick from. For doing the tour, you get 2 Tshirts, a metal mug that you can have engraved to customize, and each time you come to Angels after that, it's a .50 cent discount off all draft beers for a lifetime.
I will be back since I'm staying here for several months.
Enjoy! -

Went to Mammoth for the first time with a group of friends, and we went to Angel's for dinner one night. I've heard good things from people about this place, but I left somewhat disappointed.
The restaurant itself ha a very cozy feeling, which was a welcome sight in up in that kind of weather (considering I was born and raised in Socal). We had a large group, but the employees were very accomodating (maybe cause it was quite empty?) and seated us quickly. I ordered a bowl of French onion soup and a french dip sandwich. The soup was good, but it was $6 for a bowl the size of my fist...wth??? Not gonna lie, the sandwich was pretty bad though. The meat wasn't thinly sliced roast beef typical of french dip sandwiches....instead it was some brisket-type cut which could've been good except for the fact that it was some of the driest beef I've ever had in a sandwich. Even the au jus couldn't save it. The side of mashed potatoes were pretty good, but then again, they were just potatoes.
All that for $17 really wasn't even close to worth it, but some of my friend's dishes did look very very good. Plus, our shared dessert was delicious.
+1 star only because of the super nice waitress -

At angels you get the best kind of ameeican food: the slowly home-made, smoked, fired, and grilled variety. You would be hard pressed to find better scones, ribs, wings, or even pot pie anywhere else. Angels is a mandatory stop every time you find yourself in Mammoth Lakes. :-)

Good solid food that meets all the expectations for a mountain type restaurant. I definitely recommend it for any trips into Mammoth, be it winter or summer. They have some great bbq and awesome scones while you wait.
Decent beer selection also. Mostly bottles and some Mammoth Brewing Co. beers on tap, but better than most places.
This place gets crazy packed and never has enough staff to cover the rush, so plan accordingly. -

ORDER THE TOMATO BASIL SOUP!! Not sure what all the little chunks were in the soup, but for all I know they were beads-of-everythinbg-that-tastes-good!!!
Really a 3 and 1/2 stars overall, but not a 3. The ribs were good, but a little fatty. The meatloaf had a good flavor but we couldn't get over how it looked--like they put a mold on it and pressed out a perfect shape of a box. And the bacon it was wrapped in didn't really taste like bacon. -

pigged out at bluesapalooza! Didn't get a chance to visit the restaurant, however we had the opportunity to try their food at the festival. After seeing all of the people walk away with pulled pork nachos & sandwiches for several days and licking their fingers, I had to give it a try. Glad I did, but my waistband, not so much... These are by far some of the tastiest nachos I have had, and the first time ever of this type. Good Job!
3 stars because it wasn't at the restaurant, so I really can't comment on service, location or cleanliness. -

This is OUR place to have dinner when we visit Mammoth. Shanna is our favorite server, the cheese scones with honey butter are to die for, the smoked chicken, pork and beef are tender and moist and the deep fried Mac & Cheese is heavenly.

My friend and I checked out this place on a recent visit to Mammoth--mostly based on the high recs from Yelp. We were not disappointed. My friend is strictly a meat n potatoes guy so when choosing a place to take him for dinner, I was a bit limited. Also, we were having an early day so we stopped in to eat dinner at around 5:00. We thought we'd be the only souls in the place (or at least the youngest and we're both in our mid 40's) but we were wrong. The place was half full of all sorts from families with kids to teenagers sharing appetizers to people like my buddy and me--and a few older folks to round it out. Always a good sign when a restaurant is busy at an off time of day.
Our waitress was nice and very helpful with suggestions. She actually told us what NOT to order (the fish n chips, in this case) because it wasn't their strongest dish. I appreciate that sort of honesty a lot. We both ordered cocktails from the menu that were tasty and interesting, definitely hit the spot. My friend said his tasted like Dr. Pepper (and this was a good thing for him--would NOT have been for me). Mine was a sort of lemonade tasting vodka drink that was very good. Sorry, I can't remember the name of either drink, which I know isn't helpful. I'm sure they're all pretty good, though. Safe to try any of them.
My friend went old school with the prime rib off the specials board and he said it was delicious and perfectly prepared. It came with a baked potato fully loaded and he ordered the fried mac n' cheese. I asked for a taste of that because it seemed like it might be gross. Folks, I'd go back to this restaurant JUST for that! So good and so wrong at the same time. Yum.
I went with a lighter choice at our server's recommendation--fish tacos. These were delicious, slightly spicy but not too much, perfectly fried. All the veggies that came with it were crisp and fresh, nice flavorful sauce. I hate black beans usually and the ones that came on my plate were yummy. I'd order that again in a heart beat.
We were too full for dessert but other folks were enjoying them around us. My buddy and I both would go back to this restaurant to try other things that looked good on their menu. The atmosphere is very simple, laid back, almost taverny. Check out the crazy decor on the walls while you're sipping your cocktails. We definitely recommend Angel's. -

This is the kind of place you want to come to after a long day on the slopes. They have a good selection of both draft beers and bottled beers. There is a mug club and if you drink all of their beers (not in one sitting of course) you can have your own mug and use it everytime you come in.
We had a party of 8 and waited about 45 minutes at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. That is why the bar somes in handy. As the waiting area is small and a bit chilly. Our server was extremely nice and I thought the food was well-priced. Sandwiches in the $10 range with sides.
The quality of the food is good as well and very filling. They have a bunch of sauces at the ready at your table for you to garnish your sandwich. This place has a good vibe and hearty food! -

I just visited Mammoth for the first time in years. My parents suggested Angel's forthe ribs. I'm not a big red meat eater, but thought we would give it a try.
We had been hiking, and swimming, and wanted a nice casual dinner(Jeans and T-shirts please...). I found Angels to be a great family place. We have a 2 y/o, and it was perfect because it was intimate, and there
was enough happening in the restaurant for him to be entertained.
They start you off with the most perfect little scones, still warm from being baked. We had pork ribs (fall off the bone good), and the 1/4 chicken, (Only $6.50???) Both came with slaw and a side. We had a baked potato, and fried mac and cheese, both delicious. Soup was awesome as well. I suggest the french onion. We were so full that dessert was not an option, but i saw a few go out, and they looked great as well, so save some room.
Service was a little slow, but super friendly. -

Ah. Mammoth. Touristy and overpriced food, right? That was what I expected, but 'In Yelp We Trust', and decided to try out this cozy-looking joint thanks to the reviews on here.
We arrived to find that it was 'All You Can Eat Pork Ribs' night, so 3 out of 4 in our party ordered the ribs. The ribs were meaty, succulent, flavorful, beautifully smokey, and that BBQ sauce is TO DIE FOR! (Just the regular version though. Me no likey the spicy BBQ). The sides were pretty good too, including the delicious deep-fried mac 'n' cheese. I ordered the fish & chip (standard pub fare, right?) but was kinda disappointed. My own fault for ordering fish while in the mountains, duh.
Our server - whom I shall not name - was surly and aloof at first, but soon warmed up as the evening wore on and our tab grew. Beers are cheap - just $2 a pop for Coors/Coors Light. They serve a range of IPAs and local brews on tap too, but I can't remember the prices.
The next day, we returned to try more of their offerings. Guess what? It's 'All you can eat BEEF ribs' night. 2 out of party of 4 ordered the beef ribs, which, though tasty, were laden with so much fat & grizzle that eating it was frankly, unpleasant. The pork ribs were so much better.
The biscuits and honey-butter are sooooo delish, as are the sweet potato fries ($2 more if you choose it over the standard sides).
Prices are reasonable, the interior cozy & warm, and the food - the smoked meat dishes at least - are hellagood. Next year when I'm back in Mammoth, I know where I'll be having dinner! -

Don't get the brisket... uuuugh don't get the brisket... dry and hard. And it was kinda cold when it got to me :-\
The cheddar biscuit was so good. And with the honey butter it was even better.
Their mac and cheese is different now.... still not that good to me... it's a "fried mac and cheese". A rectangular block of mac and cheese battered and fried. It seemed very processed, and it wasn't especially good.
The mashed potatoes could have used a little more salt and butter.
My friend's flatiron steak and tri tip were really good, much better then the brisket. The chicken was still good.1 Previous Review: Show all »

As others have said, it's a good, nearby place to sit and fill up your grumbling tummy after a long day (or for me, half a day) on the slopes.
After a good few hours at Mammoth, we decided to have dinner here at Angel's. First impression? Atmosphere was fitting of the area we were in. The decor and furniture all fit into the "cabin-ee" / "woods-ee" / "mountain-ee" theme. It was cute.
I ordered the brisket sandwich. Not bad. Was a nice balance of bread and meat, so neither one was too overpowering. However, the highlight of the meal were the cheddar biscuits. YUM. I could have probably made a meal out of those, but figured I needed some protein as part of my meal.
The parking wasn't great. The small parking lot we wedged into had only once entrance. That and slanted parking spaces resulted in having to back out of the parking lot to get back onto the street.
Overall, not a place to brag about, but I can't complain. -

I was just a little underwhelmed by this place. With the great reviews I heard from friends and the LONG wait, I was expecting magic. Maybe I came on an off day?
We went with a party of 8. I ordered the tri tip hot sandwich, making it ultimate, of course. I ordered the fried mac and cheese as a side (really, how could you not?) and coleslaw.
Ever draft beer I wanted had run out, so we got a pitcher of an okay beer that we'd never heard of. My sandwich was pretty dry, and not very generous with the tri tip. The mac and cheese, however, was the sheezy! I expected fried mac and cheese (well, fried anything) to be good, but this was amazing. I wish it were served a little hotter, but I would have eaten that stuff out of the freezer. Perfectly rich and cheesy, with a crunchy crust.
I wasn't particularly blown away by this place, or maybe I came in with high hopes. I'd go back and see what else they had to offer (and hopefully, they'll have more beer!) -

Some might say that the sweet potato fries and the scones are worth the wait for this restaurant. Sometimes this restaurant is an absolutely wonderful experience, and other times, it is an adequate experience.
The ambiance is nice and very mountain country looking. It is relatively small and seats probably only 50-60.
The Food: Sweet potato fries were some of the best I have ever had and if you like ranch dressing, ask for a side of ranch which makes it phenomenal. The scones are great.
I had the lime cilantro salmon and it was good -- but not great.
My wife had a steak salad and the steak was too chewy.
Maybe today was an off day. I'll try again and maybe modify this review. -

Unusually long wait, came during motocross week. All you can eat ribs were definitely worth it.
There was a "mix-up" in the kitchen so we waited a while for our food but our waiter comped our fried pickle appetizer (crispy & zesty w/ ranch) & a beer plus the entrees were great and we weren't in a rush so it all worked out.
The chicken tostada salad contained hearty portions of chicken, rice, & beans. It was a much heavier salad than I anticipated but delicious none the less.
My dinner mates had the pork ribs, they complimented the bbq sauce. Our waiter, Jason, was quick to refill the ribs (and regularly, our waters). No complaints with the sides, which included: fried mac-n-cheese, coleslaw, sour cream & onion mashed potaoes, & watermelon.
The quality of the food more than made up for the wait & mix-up, definitely going to Angel's again. -

We'd just arrived, shopped for everything we needed and forgot, and were starving. We asked the local liquor store guy where he liked to eat, and he pointed us here.
There was one lady serving the tables, and I reallllly have to applaud her for keeping up with everything the whole time. She was great, and gave us good recs as to the menu.
Fried pickles with tartar sauce - YUMMMMMM
Bison burger - It was admittedly a bit dry, but I enjoyed the gamey meat itself. It came with bacon, which I gladly took off. The bison was enough. It could have used more something though...spice? I dunked some bbq sauce on it myself.
Steak and cheese on hoagie - HUGE. Mind, the portions to this place were all huge, and this one was dripping with cheese and steak sauce.
Both came with sides. I opted for the sweet potato fries. Thick, spiced and came with this spicy mayo - sooo good. TG's came with fried mac n' cheese. It was okay...a little cold for me, but filling.
Each table had various sauces, salt, pepper, in a different cardboard 6-pack holder. Creative, cheap and environmental. -

This is another on our Mammoth hit list of places to dine. Great BBQ , the "brick 'o love" (fried mac & cheese) is YUM. I am also on a multi-year quest to complete Henry's Beer Tour where you must drink 99 bottles of beer to get your name on one of the steins hanging in the bar.

Mediocre food, mediocre service.
The bread is the best thing there. DON'T ever order the smoked prime rib. It was really lean and tough even though we ordered it medium rare. The ribs were decent.
Save yourself from the long wait and go somewhere else.Comment from Todd N. of Angel's Restaurant 2/23/2011

Good Food! Family atmosphere! Haute cuisine, it is not.
But Really? Do you want grand cuisine after a day of skiing, hiking or fishing? I don't think so!
You want a plate of fried pickles (yes! you really do want them). A tall cold beer from the local brewery (Mammoth Brewery) and a plate of well cooked food. But that's not enough to make me a fan.
This is a family place. It's a place to take the kids and not worry about them making a little noise; (**Yes! I know, this is a negative for a lot of people going out to eat.**) But when you have a three year old, those other places that are a bit more "fancy" serving what "they" think to be haute cuisine, are too stuffy for a little boy that wants to color and play Angry Birds on his dad's phone.
I've not been to every place in Mammoth; but I've not found a place in town that actually knows what haute cuisine is more or less able to serve it (there's at least one that comes close)
Angel's is a steak and potatoes place; or it's a Beer and Burger place. You make it what you want it to be.
Steve M. it's not as small as you think it is; it'll seat 80 plus. It's New York seating. (no booths, elbow to elbow)... there's always a good crowd of people. They have a bar; so cocktails are available. If you're looking for Fancy - go up the hill (Westin) Whitebark Restaurant, Bar and Lounge (I hear there's a huge sushi crowd that swaps the sushi bar there) and they're close to the haute cuisine (and they charge like it is) And if you want a private dark stuffy booth (and a pretense of the haute cuisine; but its not) go down the hill to Slocums Grill & Bar ( but the plus is they do have a pub-like bar that's a plus).
So my rating of Angel's Restaurant works out like this...
$$$ out of $$$$$ on the money scale.
3 out of 5 on the food scale. It's good, but yes, improvements are warranted.
Kid Friendly 5 out of 5 (always seem happy to have kids there)
Service 4.5 out of 5 - they get real busy, you have to get their attention.
Comfortable 5 out of 5
In my book this is a solid 4 out of 5 in overall scoring...
We'll be back in June/July. So maybe I'll provide some pics and update this review. (stay tuned) -

I am a mammoth local and grew up here from the time when i was a little child. i have been to angels bbq more times than most people and have tried just about everything on the menu. The food at Angels bbq is absolutely amazing. IF you have never had the hot and gooey chocolate cake, you need to go right now and order one because it will blow your mind! Service is great almost all the time, and the only time it tough to get a seat is on a busy night in winter, when town is packed.
They have a mug club and a huge selection of beers both imported and domestic. This large variety of beer makes Angels the perfect place for a beer connoisseur or any one who wants to enjoy a good beer. I recommend This wonderful BBQ restaurant to everyone of all ages. -

Server's recommendation fail.
Worst item ordered on our party.
Too bad I can't remember what it was.
So what's the three stars for?
Because they have daily lunch and dinner specials worth going for.
We were here on the day that they had unlimited soups and salads as a lunch special.
Three of us got the lunch special. We were all pleased with it.
For about $6, it was one of the cheaper things on their menu.
Even cheaper than their sandwich offerings.
Although I can't decide whether the sweet potato fries where really awesome
or I was just hungry from the hike.
Either way, it was a good appetizer.Listed in: Summer in Mammoth

I had the Pork ribs for dinner and was not impressed. A fair amount of my friends had said positive things about the food. Their visits date a couple years back so my Dec 2010 visit didn't do any justice regarding taste fulfillment.
Service was adequate and pricing reasonable.

Ordered: star rating
Mozarello sticks: 4
Ribs: 3 a little dry, not enough flavoring
Fried Mac: 4.5 pretty awesome
Angel salad: 3 standard, good dressing
Free cheese biscuits: 4.5
dessert hot 'n gooey: 4.5
I'd say this is a descent place of you just want to grab a quick bite. Nothing is too amazing, but nothing's too special. Good place to chill, lots of HD TVs with games on all day. nice way to take it easy. So why 3 stars? well, it just ain't that special. good place, service is okay, parking is tough, but it's a pretty chill place. Stop by if you can't decide what you want. -

If I'd thought to Yelp about this restaurant a few years ago, I would've given it 5 stars for the food quality & service even with the over hour wait every time we came for dinner & the pain in the ass search for parking space.
When we went back this past snowboarding season, same wait time but the food was just okay. Service was still good. But the baby back ribs didn't fall off the bones & the beef brisket was tough...yeah, brisket tough? Didn't realize that went together in one sentence.
They have a nice assortment of beer. And their free serving of cheesy biscuit/scone is still pretty good 'cos it comes out piping hot. Then again, I'm a meat eater - not a bread fan...so the cheesy biscuit couldn't help the star rating much.
In the prior years, we used to celebrate the December birthdays here - maybe we'll just do Giovanni pizza take out this December instead. -

We were the first ones there for dinner. So service was quick!
The waitress was super sweet!
Hot Cocoa, $1.99: So good! They aren't endless, but the waitress said they were so we got a few. (don't get why not! Cocoa is so cheap to make...)
Cheddar biscuit with Honey Butter: DELICIOUS!! & filling! You can't really taste the cheddar (imo), but it gives the biscuit a little kick. It's the honey butter that gives it a whopping KICK! and the butter is WHIPPED! YUM!
THE WORKS (burger): Good.. started to get sick getting towards the end and wasn't feeling so well throughout the night. I guess it was the bacon (doesn't sit well with me). Love the avocados!
The biscuit started to fill me up, so I ended up not finishing the burger (only by a few bites). -

Got the chance to go back yesterday, and I'm very pleased.... =D
Our table of 10 all ordered the lunch special which was the Beef Rib Basket! The meat's still falling off the bone and the BBQ sauce was great. They also have the spicy BBQ sauce, but stick with the regular sauce. All 10 of us preferred the regular BBQ sauce.
We also ordered their sweet potato fries which they serve with Chipotle mayonnaise and the Jalepeno corn fritters. These are great so be sure to give them a try.
The only thing that somewhat disappointed me was the the portion decreased from last year. They were giving 3 to 4 pieces of Beef ribs for the lunch special, but now it's only 2 pieces. I guess our current economy plays a big part in this.... but at $5.99 for the lunch special, it's still well worth it.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Been here two times now, both at night during snowboarding trips. The wait is usually very long (45min-1.5hours), but keep in mind I came during MLK weekend and Presidents Day weekend.
Started with the cheddar bread and honey butter (amazing). Ordered the Delux Pork Sandwich with Fried Mac n Cheese and Sweet Potato Fries. Hands down, one of the best pork sandwiches I've ever had. They also have a Beer Tour where you drink 99 of the beers they have at your own pace. Some people have finished in a few weeks, others have taken as long as a few years.
Service was great, food was excellent. Only con about this place is the long wait, which is attributed to the size of the restaurant. I will definitely be back. -

Stopped by here on the way home after a hard weekend of snowboarding with friends. Nice little western, BBQ-style atmosphere with some large TVs and a bar area. I ordered a the Smoked Tri Tip Deluxe Sandwich, which while the sauce was tasty, the Tri Tip itself was tough and pretty dry. I wasn't really too fond of it.
My friends ordered the BBQ Brisket, regular Smoked Tri Tip, Fish Taco, and a few other things. They commented that the food was good, but nothing amazing.
The service was great and our waitress was friendly and prompt, making sure that our drinks were refilled or asking for another round. I wouldn't mind coming back again to try something else, but I'm not too amazed. -

Had a great experience at dinner here in August. The special was the smoked pork chop, which was a large, moderately thick, perfectly trimmed chop smoked and cooked to perfection. It was $13 with sides, and tasted the equal of $34 smoked chops at fancy restaurants in the SF bay area. The fried macaroni and cheese was good and unusual. Dessert was called Boysenberry Pie, but was more of a deep dish cobbler with vanilla ice cream, delicious. Service was friendly, and the waitress gave great food recommendations.
Getting to Mammoth is difficult from the bay area due to snow closing the pass, but Angel's makes me want to come back soon. Now, if I can just find a hotel with air conditioning. -

This place was one of the better places we've eaten at in Mammoth, sadly that's not really saying much since this area is not known for their great food. If I wasn't from LA, this place may be a 4 star place for me, but the fact that I've eaten at so many places. This place is a 3 star.
They did have very good ribs that were tender and falling off the bone. One time we actually stayed at the motel right across from them and saw them smoking the meats REALLY early in the morning from out room.
Good tender and flavorful meats, food fries and good Balsamic Vinaigrette. Their chicken pot pie however was very very bland and pretty much chicken-LESS -

Service and food were decent.
They use onion soup for the beef dipping juice - I prefer beef juice for dipping a sandwich.
The deep fried macaroni and cheese thing is good! -

I have been to this place everytime I am up at Mammoth either for work or just snowboarding and always try to dine out at this joint. The food is very good and inexpensive especially if you get daily specials. Like on Thursdays, you can get all-you-can-eat BBQ Pork Ribs and half price american beer.
I would not recommend sitting at the bar because the service there is a bit slow because the bartender likes to chat too much with local drunks that sit at the bar. Just get a table and the server will take care of you.
There are options for everyone including the vegitarians. -

Everytime someone asks about eating out in the area, I have this place as a top recommendation.
I always warn them of the long wait though. Every single time I come to eat here there is quite a wait. This is for good reason. The food is always memorable. Service here is great as well.
Everytime I get finished eating here, I get food coma which puts me out until the next morning, where I'm refreshed and ready for another day of snow sliding :)
good food.. long wait.... decisions... decisions.. -

This was great! Not too much prior experience with a smoker before. I highly recommend the pulled pork nachos and the pink chicken. The smoked flavor was incredible. Never tasted anything like it!
