Fantastic food and service. The best of American diner cuisine. We had lunch. Everyone loved their sandwiches. Clubs, patty melt, pineapple chicken, grilled ham and cheese, onion rings, potato salad. So good!! Thank you for your hospitality on our drive through.

Went here for breakfast with a group of 10 after summiting Mt. Whitney the day before! The aesthetic is unique but the food was everything we wanted. The totem scramble was delicious but the biscuits and gravy were some of the best I’ve ever had. The service was quick and friendly with everyone getting plenty of coffee and water refills. I would recommend for anyone looking for a breakfast spot!

Excellent gourmet food and very friendly service. We had steaks w Gorgonzola sauce and they were truly excellent. We enjoyed the vibe outside under the giant tree w patio lights.

Was recommended by the Best Western attendant, and he did not let us down. Best meal we have had so far on vacation. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, zucchini, and a Caesar salad. My wife had the half roasted chicken (same sides) and they were both terrific. Well worth the stop!

The food was really good, especially the Totem Bird sandwich, which had bacon and that was really good. I asked for crispy fries, and they were very very crispy. Only issue with the fries was the flavor was rather bland. Service was really good. Very attentive, though at the time we were the only ones there...so...

I ordered the breakfast burrito from here. Staff was friendly and the portions were really big! Restaurant reminded me of grandma's kitchen. Great deal for what you spend - which is rare in this economy.

Enjoyed the clubhouse sandwich with onion rings, grilled chicken with pineapple sandwich, Philly cheese and tuna melt. Our fave were the club and chicken & pineapple, and the onion rings. Served was attentive and friendly. Will be back when we pass through Lone Pine!

If you're driving on the 395 through Lone Pine, this place is a must try . You won't be disappointed. We had breakfast there, and it was bomb. I got the bacon and eggs with biscuits and gravy... portions are huge, and the biscuits and gravy were unbelievably tasty.
