Hit this place up with my two sons after a day of skiing. The server was super friendly and recommended the tri tip sandwich (which all three of us ended up ordering). The meat was AMAZING; get the spicy BBQ sauce. Spoke with "the Cook" briefly. Super friendly guy who smokes the meat himself. Would highly recommend! Worth it!

if you like barbecue, this is a must stop. The rates are really good even for Mammoth and the food was delicious. We had the tri-tip and pulled pork all the cart and was really good. The owner is super friendly and gave my daughter and I really generous portions.

Stopped by this place while charging my car in Mammoth — everything was amazing! The smoked tri-tip was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned — not dry at all. The sauce that came with it made it even better — a perfect match! The Mexican-style pancake (quesadilla) was packed with shredded pork and melted cheese, so tasty and comforting. And the milkshake… sweet but not too much, full of real fruit bits — I loved every sip! 💕 This little mountain town right outside Yosemite is so beautiful — the drive down is full of golden fall leaves and snow-covered peaks. Totally worth the trip, both for the food and the views. 🍂🏔️🚗

Hands down, best food in mammoth! Would even say it’s one of my top 3 bbq spots! I dream of the pulled pork sammy and salted caramel milkshake! The dude who runs this place is super cool too. Everything on the menu is fantastic. Great place to get some smoked meat for an easy dinner! Can’t wait to go back to the mountains for some mammoth smoke shack!

Tri-tip is awesome. Little pricey but you are on a mountain! Seating is all outside, probably amazing during summer, little rough in October. But it’s a beautiful area so why not!
