Food Scene

Shaver Lake Pizza:  Some say this is the best Pizza in California, so a must have to visit.  You can also get their lunch special before 2:00 and save a few bucks.  They feature calzones, pizza bread, salads, wings,  cold beer and even have an arcade for the kids to play while waiting for your pizza.  BEWARE!~ During the weekends wait times can exceed over 2 hours, so plan ahead! Seating is limited, so in the case you need a place to sit walk across the street to Mama Bears Gifts!  They have a picnic bench for guests, just make sure to throw your trash away!

The Pub N Grub:  Your go to place for a nice drink and dinner.  Delicious food, with great servers.  Family friendly.  They just expanded their eating area to include an outside patio so you can accommodate larger gatherings here. Always greeted with a smile and good tunes playing. Common to have live music and karaoke. WARNING: Fun people like to gather here, so if you aren’t one of those kind of people, keep heading east!

HUNGRY HUT: UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP and I can’t tell you how excited we are!  Whatever you do, DO NOT LET PAST YELP REVIEWS JUDGE THIS GEM OF A RESTAURANT! Their menu is simple and to the point. They don’t over complicate it. They know what they do well and keep it to that! I can vouch for a juicy tri tip sandwich, tasty cheese burger, and a yummy chicken sandwich. I’ve been told by a few locals they make the most delicious Strawberry milkshake west of the Mississippi. Complete remodel, new staff, new owners, new equipment, and a refreshed menu, you must go by and get yourself a milkshake…like right now.

Drinks & Nightlife

The Shorthorn: The locals favorite featuring cold beers, good music, and great times.  The Pub is owned by the Wright family, who also owns the Pub N Grub (which I will talk about next).  Just the other day I ordered “The Grubber”…with onion rings… unbelievable!  Big enough to split with a friend.  This is the kind of place when someone orders fries, the whole bar will dip in.  Darts, and a pool table with a juke box with the hits.  Not a suitable place for children in the evening (strictly 21 and over), but during the day it’s a great place to enjoy a meal!

Just about 35 minutes away is the beautiful Huntington Lake. Notorious for its perfect consistent wind and long length, this is the best sailing in the mountains of California. Mid summer, Huntington hosts a very cool event called the High Sierra Regatta which is a sailing race from one end of the lake to another.

Parks & Nature

Mono Hot Springs – A beautiful scenic drive about 1.5 hours outside of Shaver Lake.  Go and dip into the natural hot springs, or play in the river.  GREAT FISHING!  And don’t worry too much about forgetting something, during the summer months there is a general store, restaurant (with Bison Burgers) and cabins you can stay at over night.  On your way back to Shaver I would recommend checking out White Bark Vista to see great views of the Edison Wilderness and take some wicked selfies.  If you are looking for a little more of an adventure – take a hike to DORIS LAKE!  Its approx. 1.5 miles hike from the Mono Hot Springs Resort to a beautiful high sierra lake.  Very popular rock jumping lake,
