Reviews
The Kittie Lee Inn was built in 1924 and was considered to be the height of luxury. During Hollywood’s heyday of filming movies in the High Sierra, almost all of the great stars stayed here at one time or another. Will Rogers, Randolph Scott, Hop-a-long Cassidy, Cary Grant, John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Curly Fletcher and Pat O’Brien are just a few of the names found in the old guest register. Many of the executives of the U.S. Vanadium Mine, a Tungsten Mine up Pine Creek, along with Wah Chang of the Blackrock Mine were also guests here.
The Ohio Buckeye tree you see planted in the deck of the front door of the gift shop at the Whiskey Creek Restaurant was brought here in 1924 from Ohio and still bears buckeyes every fall.
During World War II, the Kittie Lee dining room was closed and used as a dormitory for U.S. military pilots training at the Bishop Airport. After the war, the dining room was remodeled and reopened as the Copper Kettle Coffee Shop, which was known far and wide for its excellent food and extensive Royal Doulton Toby Jug Collection. The Kittie Lee Inn was torn down in 1965 to make way for a new dinner house known as the Carriage Room. Its Bar, Charlie’s Room, remained in operation.
In 1976, Sam and Shelly Walker purchased the business from Will Whorff, son of the original owner of the Kittie Lee, and changed the name to Whiskey Creek. In 1999, the Walkers sold the business to its new owner, Greg Alexander….and a new era began.
The whole experience was very nice. The restaurant is big and nicely decorated, felt very warm and welcoming. The staff were so gracious even though we knew we were a bit of an inconvenience. If you’ve ever worked in the service industry, you know that’s the last thing you want to see come in at 30 min before closing! We were so appreciative, the food was really really good, everyone enjoyed their orders. We did not linger, but we didn’t feel rushed to hurry hurry either. We were tired from our long photo shoot so we were ready to get back to the hotel, happy with full bellies. We stayed in Creekside, it was a great place to stay as well.
We highly recommend this restaurant for the service, food and atmosphere. If we lived closer I’d be happy to go back again and again. They were very accommodating.
Also our server was delightful. Extremely professional and good at her job. Kept our drinks filled and was patient and helpful.
The only other options out there were bar and grills, fast food restaurants, South of the border foods and a few Asian.
I posted a couple pictures of what we ordered, the food that we were getting was a four cheese linguine topped with chicken and a kids chicken strips with fries.
Whiskey Creek also offered a Thai fusion page in their menu along with live music. The saxophone player is also offering happy birthdays for customers.
We were very satisfied with the food. Also, it’s a kid friendly restaurant.
Our server was Kayla and she did a fantastic job with recommendations, taking care of us, and making sure that everything was to our expectations. I would definitely come here again for the Thai food at least!
