LA to Mammoth and back
I did a search and found nothing from 2007 so...
weekend trip. couple of LA folks who have never been to mammoth. i need two lunch spots somewhere on the road, both on the way and back. i also need recs at mammoth. i wouldn't mind splurging one night, but otherwise keep it fairly frugal. thanks.

I'm including a link from the San Diego Tribune, might help you out. I don't mind Schatt's, but it can be pretty crowded. I second the Restaurant at Convict Lake. I stay at Convict every few years or so, and it is definitely worth a splurge. Hope the article helps....

i second schatt's bakery in bishop. there's also a schatt's in mammoth itself - not the same, but also nice baked goods - there's some story behind the two locations of a family business, feuding brothers, etc. otherwise it's pretty slim pickings on the road between LA and Mammoth for anything other than fast food - a couple times we've attempted to branch out and tried a local coffee shop / cafe that looked promising . . . but not so much. when staying in mammoth, we usually have a house or condo and cook our own meals, but i do like Berger's and The Stove for casual places, and there's a red sauce Italian place whose name escapes me in the same shopping center as the grocery store that was decent.

You'll go through Bishop, right? (Geography is failing me today, or maybe I'm failing Geography :-) If so, check out Schatt's bakery for lunch....decent sandwhiches and the best coconut macaroons in the west.
The Restaurant at Convict Lake (about eleven miles south of Mammoth) might be a good spot for a "splurge" dinner...although really its not very expensive for the quality. I haven't eaten there in a year or so, however....
