Aaron Schat's Roadhouse — Restaurant in Bishop

Let me just start by saying, I NEVER take time out of my day to review places. I think this is my 3rd review in 10 years…but here goes: A buddy of mine and I split two burgers, the Jalapeño burger and the bbq/western burger. The first bite of the Jalapeño burger was all I needed to know we made the right choice stopping here for dinner on our way back to LA. This Jalapeño burger was one of the top 3 burgers I’ve ever had in my life, anywhere, at any level of restaurant. Mostly, it came down to the quality and flavor of the 1/2 lb patty, cooked to a rarely-achieved absolutely perfect medium rare. But the other elements of the burger cement it in my mount rushmore. The interesting composition with fresh jalapenos ground into the patty, the jalapeno creme sauce, the far above average bun which was big enough to hold up, but light and soft enough to compress rather than dry out each bite. Usually burger joints like this resign to the cheapest possible bun and its either too bready, or too crusty, or just basic, but these guys found something with character.

Rarely do I give anything a 10/10, but I cant think of a single way to elevate any aspect of that Jalapeño burger. As claimed on the sign out front, it was indeed “extremely awesome”. 10/10.

Western burger was fantastic as well, I’d give it a 9/10, but thats just personal preference. Fries great as well, not my absolute favorite style but still a very desirable 8/10 and maybe theyre your style.

Go there, be nice to your cashier, and tip the staff well!! They are killing it! Also, to management, the kid working as your line cook/chef deserves a raise 🔥

I will 100% be coming here every time I drive...

The worst burger I have eaten, the bun was soaked through with pickle juices, when I tried to pick it up, about an ounce of liquid came spilling out ot it. I took a bite and straight away my stomache turned from the salty liquid. Therefore, I took it back to the counter to complain and the person I spoke to simply said there tomatoes are very juicy. I then asked him to touch the squeeze the bun and he admitted it was very very wet. At the same time I noticed the cook in the back was visibly angry about something. As i didn't want my burger spat on in the back, I asked to just please provide me with a new bun and I will remake the burger myself. They did provide the new bun. However on transferring all the ingredients to the new bun the meat was tasteless and dry and the rest of the fillings still tasted very salty. They also screwed up my wifes sandwich by providing potato salad instead of the requested cloeslaw with my wifes reuben sandwich. The sandwich itself was fine. The sweet potato fries we ordered xtra were clearly burnt and over cooked. But we chose not to raise further fuss and instead just ate the ones that were edible. When asked by the wait staff how our food was, I said not good, he just laughed and walked away. At no stage did a manager come to talk with us about our food. I rarely write reviews but as no one at the restaurant cares about the quality of the food they serve, I feel I need to warn other's. SAVE YOURSELF LOTS OF MONEY AND YOUR STOMACH AND EAT AT CARL JRS, better food, nicer staff and less than...

This Schats store is just about across the street from Holy Smoke Texas BBQ. I love, love, love rotisserie style cooking and I hold the opinion boot leather tastes good if you can throw it on a rotisserie.

The menu here has a great selection, beer, burgers and sandwiches, but I was really jonesing for chicken. An order of half a chicken with black beans and cilantro-lime rice for our sides and tortillas looked like it would suit my wife and I nicely.

The chicken was delicious. Juicy and tender, even the breast meat had it going on. For the most part I thought the black beans and rice were nothing spectacular but did act as a great filler for the tortilla. Perhaps the most startling observation we had was when the server brought our order to the table. My first impression of the four pieces of chicken set down at our table was this really wasn't chicken but a game hen. Incredibly tiny. Microscopic tiny. As in SO tiny you would have never imagined chicken could be so incredibly small. Complimented with 'tortillas' that was really just an 8 inch tortilla cut into quarters. Skimpy. Knowing this I would have requested whole tortillas.

In conclusion this was a delicious meal that skimped on the portion-to-value-of-price-paid. At 16 bucks including tip (no beer) I would have been willing to pay a little more if portions were...
