Totem Cafe

Simple menu, packed with various options - a great spot to carb/protein/iron load before any strenuous hike! Kind staff, left with a jar of local honey.

A laidback local spot worth stopping in. I had dinner here on a recent work trip. I was not in the mood for fast food and noticed that there were many positive reviews for this spot. Based on some of the reviews, I decided on the half rack of ribs dinner. It came with a side salad, with a choice of baked potato or fries. Along with a seasonal veggie. The portions were more than enough. The ribs weren’t bad but not mind blowing either. The fries were excellent and the aide veggies were ok. The side salad was very simple. But overall I was happy with my meal mainly due to the great service from the lone waitress working there that night. She was very attentive and friendly. No regrets coming here. And if you’re in the area support this neat local spot.

Perfect place to stop for some breakfast although it was pretty empty and the food still took a while to come out. Regardless the food was good.

If you're driving on the 395 through Lone Pine, this place is a must try . You won't be disappointed. We had breakfast there, and it was bomb. I got the bacon and eggs with biscuits and gravy... portions are huge, and the biscuits and gravy were unbelievably tasty.

We got the half rack of ribs, fried shrimp, and ravioli. Everyone really enjoyed their choice. Food was great, service was great. Atmosphere was quiet, but nice. Only a few other tables taken. Food came out fairly quick, and hot! May want to wait a little bit before eating.

They were out of BBQ chicken so I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, and I'm glad I did. Fall off the bone good, not a lot of gristle, and great sides. Super attentive wait staff, and their blueberry pie disappeared quickly. I'll be back!

Totem Cafe in Lone Pine was a great spot for the family! The unique burger presentation and quality pasta dishes make this a solid choice when passing through the area, though dessert lovers might want to adjust their expectations slightly. [Food & Menu] The Chicken Alfredo was a standout dish, perfectly prepared with a rich, creamy sauce that complemented the chicken beautifully. The pasta was cooked to the right texture and the portion size was generous. The burger deserves special mention for its unique presentation on a french roll rather than a traditional bun. This creative twist worked surprisingly well and added character to what could have been an ordinary menu item. In general, everything we tried was delicious. [Service] The team here was notably friendly throughout our visit. Their welcoming attitude and attentiveness enhanced the overall dining experience, making us feel genuinely welcome rather than just another table to serve. [Atmosphere & Ambiance] The cafe maintains a comfortable, casual atmosphere that's perfect for travelers and locals alike. The setting feels authentic to the small-town character of Lone Pine. [Special Features] The french roll burger presentation is definitely a unique touch that sets Totem Cafe apart from typical roadside dining options. This also made it easier to share as a family! It's these kinds of creative details that make a place memorable. [Value] For the quality and portion sizes, the pricing felt fair and appropriate for the area. [Dessert] The Peach Pie rounded out the meal, though it leaned a bit sweeter than my personal preference. That said, it's still good pie, and sometimes you just need to embrace the indulgence! The flaky crust and fresh peach filling delivered that homestyle dessert experience you'd hope for. If you choose to visit Totem Cafe in Lone Pine, I hope you enjoy!
