It's ideally situated between the Canyon Lodge and Main Lodge, and I really appreciate the relaxed vibe. The area has a small but good café, a bar, clean restrooms, fire pits, and various spots to relax. On a sunny day, the plastic lounge chairs outside are a great place to take in the scenery while sipping on a few beers.

Their fries are fantastic; we tried the Cajun ones, but honestly, they taste great even without any seasoning, so the Cajun flavor isn't even necessary. The turkey sandwich was excellent as well, and the portion size is huge—I'd recommend sharing it with someone! I also swapped the pepper jack cheese for Swiss, and I think it could use a little sauce on the side, so I’d suggest going easy on the seasoning. The burger is quite decent, but pretty standard—nothing too exciting. On the other hand, the pig nachos are a must-try if you're looking for finger food! They’re perfect for sharing among 3 or 4 people. Overall, it’s a solid choice!

If you want a drink, it feels like a gamble whether the waitress will even notice you. When you do ask, you’re often told her tray is full. At the same time, there’s an outdoor bar nearby that isn’t being utilized to serve or prepare drinks. I’ve visited Mammoth several times during the pandemic and have seen much better management at other places.
