Lakanuki Tiki Bar

I don’t Rahman often but when I come to Mammoth it’s hard not to hit up this place the dishes are delicious and the place is friendly.
Good off the beaten path location

Horrible food and service, but it’s a fun place to go if you’re only looking to have fun late night and drink.
It took a good 15 minutes for our server to even greet us, we got the wrong drinks about 3 times, and we had to ask her at least twice for things we needed (water, napkins, to-​go boxes!) Mind you, it wasn’t even busy at this point!
I tried a burger that was supposed to have a bacon onion marmalade but it only had a strip of bacon, and no onion or marmalade. It was really dry and bland. We also tried the beef sandwich which was supposed to have au jus and it was basically served on a soggy sandwich and was still really dry.
Unfortunate but I know now not to come here hungry, but rather to come here thirsty and ready to dance to fun 90s music!

Great food fast service.
I went to mammoth for President’s Day weekend and this place was really busy during the dinner time.
It is located in the village area along with other restaurants.
Good choice for burgers.

Everything was great. Vibe is cool and staff is friendly.
Skirt steak, brussel sprout salad, nachos, clam chowder, kale salad and dessert were all excellent.
Even on a holiday weekend, we had no problem getting a table without waiting.

It’s never good to accuse but in this case it’s hard to deny what happened.
THE HOSTESS STOLE MY WIFES HAT.
She sat us down and just after we removed our jackets/​snow hats, we were moved to a smaller table.
After moving, my wife noticed her hat was at her previous seat.
The hat was gone, and we asked the hostess if she saw it and she quickly said she saw a hat there and now can’t find it.
It’s one thing to throw stones before the trial but in this case we were sure she had it because she even described it. And any other hat we probably wouldn’t care as much but this was a gift and an expensive hat.
I asked to speak with the manager about it. I told him the situation and he said if any of the staff had taken a customers items they’d me immediately fired. He handled it well, but it didn’t solve the problem.
The hostess we spoke to somehow wasn’t around when we were waiting in the front.
The other servers and bussers were nice but didn’t seem to give a crap.
So that pretty much ruined the night.
The food was also just mediocre. We all ordered burgers and they were just so-​so.
Due to the service, we definitely won’t be back.

We were looking for a bar in Mammoth to watch Superbowl 50. So we called a head and the staff were kind enough to put us in touch with Stu the owner. Stu was kind enough to reserve us a table for two at the bar right in front of the TV monitors.
It all went very smoothly on our arrival and we had a great afternoon and evening.
Stu introduced himself on our arrival and was super friendly.
There is a right way and a wrong way to look after customers, this bar does it the right way.
Good times
