Not exactly food related, but after a day of climbing I'm always uber thirsty for a nice cold one. Location don't really matter, but nothing really beats a cold beer on the summit.
Disclaimer: pack out what you pack in.
For food, I'm pretty easy as to what it is, or where, as long as it's good. Nothing really beats getting home and foods already cooked by roomate, lover, wife, son, husband, whatever.
Cheers,
Nik

on the way out of the Gunks we always stop at the brewery "gilded otter."
nothing like a big sloppy burger and a brew (whatever the special is usually) after a day climbing :D

Royal Siam Thai buffet in Jtree. Seems like climbers keep this awesome place in business.
The Mobil gas station in Lee Vining, California (near Tuolumne)
Yosemite Bug Hostel. The chef apparantly used to work at the Awahnee Hotel. I have never had better food this cheap.
Ponderosa Lodge near the Needles in California. Great steaks and salad bar.
Miguel's Pizza at the Red River Gorge. You can't help but love this place.

I'm sure every climber in BC knows of White Spot and Triple O's. They make super-tasty burgers.
Also, anything cooked over a fire under the stars.

After a day at Donner Tacos Jalisco is always nice. I think it's tradition to stop for World Famous Fish Tacos if your driving to the east side from Yosemite or Tuolomne.
I haven't really found a place at Bishop that's a must, but the Movie theatre is Cheaper there then anywhere else around Cali that i've seen.

Being in San Luis Obispo, CA, the lads and I tend to go to The Shack for good burgers, fries, and pints. Nothing like a slightly chalky burger and fries washed down with a cold beer after a day of hang doggin'.

I used to live right across the street from a Chipotle. It was a serious exercise in self-control not to eat there every day. Regardless, I probably ate 3 to 4 burritos per week from there for a year. I still love the place. I like the barbacoa with guacamole and hot salsa. Good stuff!

I just go to the grocery store and pick up some chicken from the Deli.
Usually, I don't have time to sit down and am eating in the car heading home anyways.
Nothing beats a big chunk of meat when you are beat from a day of climbing.

This is a before climbing place.
When we'd leave at night for Joe's, Triassic, or the Price Area for a saturday morning session we'd generally pound a "Shadow Fighter Combo" at the Little Acorn at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. Great burgers, thumb fat fries (insert homer drool-moan). Didn't make us better climbers but it definitely made us happy. Too bad there isn't one of these guys in Orangeville.

This is a complicated question as it is dependant upon WHERE I have been climbing. I have specific places for different crags.
SoCal:
Williamson Rock or Horse Flats: Gotta eat at Newcomb's Ranch on the way home.. SOOOOO good.
Malibu Creek: Sharky's! (think la salsa)
Echo Cliffs or surrounding: La Salsa followed by Cold Stone.
Vegas:
Red Rocks or Mt. Charleston: it is all about the Thai place on Rainbow at Washington. Also, there are a good number of great sushi places, namely Sushi Fever on w. Saharah at Buffalo.
Mt Potosi: for some reason i only go to expensive places like Claim Jumper or Bertolini's afterward... I blame Ethan.
Bishop Areas: Las Palmas, nothing beats one of their huge burritos and a corona. Imperial Gormet is acceptable on a rare occasion as well.
New York Areas (ie the Gunks): employ the meal plan at my school, cuz when i'm here i'm fucking poor.
WORD.

Amen to Hooty's but we dug on their nachos. I thought Schoolhouse was trying to sell?? Maybe they are closed for the off-season? Don't know, I've moved out of WI since the fall but that's what I remember from last summer.

In reply to: Ponderosa Lodge near the Needles in California. Great steaks and salad bar.
Hmm...I ate there this summer while visiting the Needles. Can't even remember what I had, other than that it was mediocre and overpriced. It wasn't a steak though. I do remember the salad bar looked fairly pathetic.
On the other hand, there's nowhere else to eat out within an hour's drive. Next time I hit the Needles, though, I'll just stay in camp.
My favorites include Ed's Cantina in Estes Park (good margs), Illegal Pete's in Boulder, Moab Brewery when in Moab (for the weekday dime wings, mostly, but their beer is actually pretty good for being 3.2).
In the North Rim campground, beer seems to taste reeaally good on the picnic tables, and seriously, the Conoco station in Hotchkiss (on the way back from the Black) has the world's best milkshakes!

Tacos Jalisco will make it hard for me to ever leave Truckee. Best Mexican food I've ever had in the states. About a year or so ago the owners got busted for running a cock fighting ring at night.. I guess we know were the chicken, uh, rooster comes from. I stick to the fish there now after reading about that in the paper. For you guys that like the jalisco and live in this area, Check out Betos down in Reno, damn good. Same Jalisco region style mexican and cheaper.
Down in Bishop, Las Palmas does the trick. The have some good adobada tacos. After a good day in the mountains though, nothing beats the Western Kitchen. Where else in the world can you get pad thai with a side of mashed patatoes and wash it down with a bottle of bud.
A few of my other favorites:
The Mobile, Tioga Pass
The Whitney cafe (Ithink that's what it's called) The burger joint at the road heading up to whitney portal.
I'm starting to get to hungry to continue, I got to end this post.
Cheers

That's interesting. I was on a Needles climbing trip with my buddy who is a militant vegan. After 4 days in camp, I felt the need for a heartier meal and was able to conn my partner into coming along; he had doubts about a place called Ponderosa being vegan-friendly. He ended up being pleasantly surprised with the variety and freshness of the salad bar and I was ecstatic about my medium-rare New York and grenade-sized potato. Pretty good selection of beers and wines as well. What's ironic is that he is usually a real pain in the ass to eat out with (he would probably say the same thing about me), but the Ponderosa seemed to cater to both of our tastes. Sorry you didn't have a good experience there.

For after climbing in the Boulder area, I'll go to the Dark Horse on Baseline and get hot wings and fried mushrooms. Besides beer, you can get mixed drinks as well. The decor is nice and musty, with old, worn wood booths, stuffed coyotes, and junk-strewn nooks. This is a true institution, and more than a few climbers are into it. Alas, they do not have a brewerie there. This would put the destination over the top if they did.

It's always a fine idea after mountaineering in middle Colorado (Buena Vista, the Sawatch range, and similar areas) to swing by Pancho's (about a half block south of the grocery, and a half block north of the only stoplight) to get a Mondo Combo Burrito. It's under $3 and the salsa is serve-yourself.
Is it wonderful and better than anything else you could get elsewhere? No. Is it the best this town offers? Well, I suppose that depends on your budget. Is it deserved after climbing 14ers and depleting your energy reserves? Heck yeah, you deserve it. It's a tradition with my friends and myself. And it's (probably) better for you than McDonalds.
I'd definitely recommend it.
Oh, and Alberto's is the best tacqueria in Co Spgs after you hit Pikes, Turkey Rock, the south SPlatte, or Garden of the Gods. They're open super late and early, the #6 chicken enchilada/taco combo and the steak burrito are awesome, and the red hot sauce really is the best salsa in town, homemade. It's 1/8 mile south on 21st from the intersection of US24 (Cimmaron) and 21st street, on the way to EVERYTHING from the highway and downtown. Feel free to send me an invoice if you think I'm wrong.

Steak and beer. Althogh there have been times where I lived on side kicks for weeks on end. I get quite gluttonous after climbing none the less, and beer makes me happy.

In reply to: That's interesting. I was on a Needles climbing trip with my buddy who is a militant vegan. After 4 days in camp, I felt the need for a heartier meal and was able to conn my partner into coming along; he had doubts about a place called Ponderosa being vegan-friendly. He ended up being pleasantly surprised with the variety and freshness of the salad bar and I was ecstatic about my medium-rare New York and grenade-sized potato. Pretty good selection of beers and wines as well. What's ironic is that he is usually a real pain in the ass to eat out with (he would probably say the same thing about me), but the Ponderosa seemed to cater to both of our tastes. Sorry you didn't have a good experience there.
Hmm...perhaps I've become a salad snob thanks to all of our wonderful salad bars here in the People's Republic of Boulder.
But seriously, you're so enthused about the place that I might just have to try it again after all. Unfortunately I don't eat steak though.

Tim, I love the Dark Horse too. The hot wings are good, but the decor and the ambiance are out of this world. Second favorite bar in the People's Republic. For some reason I never end up going there after climbing though.
