Grimaldi's Pizzeria in Vegas. A little pricey, but they have the best NY style pizza outside of New York. Supposedly they even have some fancy water filtration system to replicate the water back east. 

Gannett Grill usually gets the climber vote in Lander, WY, but Crux Coffee has one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. 

Peace Tree Cafe in Moab. 

George's Corner in St. George, UT.

Howe Sound Brewery in Squamish.

Mountain Rambler Brewery in Bishop.

Boulder, CO: Walnut Cafe (Breakfast and Lunch)

Mountain Burrito in Morganton, NC 

Agreed. Wisteria is also really good. Morganton has a ton of great food and drink options for how small it is.  

Farm Burger is really good as is Neo Burrito in Asheville.

I think the Meat Cage at Potrero Chico is really underrated too. I got a ton of excellent meat and beer for what I think was 5-7 USD. Edgardo's margaritas area also amazing. Good shot you'll be lit by the time you're leaving the park if you get one. 

The Holy Grail for Pawtuckaway

Sidestreet Pho and Grill

Zeke's, Near Index Washington 

Coyote Cafe for breakfast sandwich and coffee in Penrose before Shelf, Newlin Creek, Voyager, etc. Also good for an after climb beer on the back patio.

Pie for the people in Josh

ramon's tacos in Merced, on the way to or from the valley toward the Bay Area is not to be missed. 

Teds bakery after bouldering Waimea bay. Or surfing anywhere north shore for that matter. 

Pizzeria Avanti if in Santa Cruz after CAstle Rock 

And Fresco cafe in Santa Barbara right there in 5 points once yer back in town from Gibraltar or the other cragables

I was hoping some locals would chime in as the other recommendations are LAME ( In and Out...really???) John Cutter has an amazing half price burger special on Tuesdays.Paymons on Sahara has an incredible selection of food at reasonable prices ,and a discount on Wednesdays. Lazy Dog in Downtown Summerlin is a great place to chill with your crag dog AND human partners after sending. Would love to hear from other Vegas locals...gotta say Big B disappointed me on this thread!

As for Red Rock, we are kind of fond of the Yardhouse. Yes, it is a chain, and it is pricey, but it is close, the food is good, and the beer selection is excellent.

  Good to hear about Lazy Dog. Was wondering where to take the pup.

Also, a certain place does deliver to the campground... Oh, sweet Index.

go on Fri/Sat/Sun morning and order the Matriarch Boissant, croissant/bagel hybrid breakfast sandwich. 

They open at 6:30am and are one of the earliest opening places to grab food.

BP also has a few local guidebooks in the reading corner. 

BTW: great thread. Im getting hungry!

In Bishop California everyone is crazy for Burger Barn and Schat's Bakery but in my opinion the real MVP is Petite Pantry. AWESOME and copious amounts of Mexican food, each day has two all you can eat options and Jay or his wife will wrap your leftovers up as a burrito for the next day!

My Bishop regular stop is the Mountain Rambler Brewery. Great food and incredible beer.

Second Mountain Rambler. Need to mention The Guest Ranch at the Enchanted Tower. Second best green chile burger in New Mexico, and what is more New Mexican than a green chile burger?

The dude with the food truck that serves pizzas, tacos, margaritas, and also does resoles in El Potrero Chico 

Everyone will probably say Miguel's for RRG, But, while good, I'd say Rock House is actually a better place to eat.
