    Visiting Big Bear Village for the day (Wednesday afternoon) and wanted to grab breakfast a little away from the main areas. I found this cafe on Yelp and wanted to try a local favorite. We were seated right away by a young man that was very nice - he even came to check on us a few times. Our waitress was okay, nice at the end but seemed to be a little down and impatient in the beginning. We ordered the fried egg sandwich with hash brown, and a French toast combo plate. The food was yummy - I loved the bacon - nice and crispy. The French toast wasn't very sweat, which is how I love it. Though it was a bit watered down, I enjoyed the coffee. Definitely recommend!

    I can see why there are so many mixed reviews on here. I always try to give both positive & negative if both are applicable. 1- OJ is awful almost 5 dollars for it. Not real but that fake stuff. 2- expensive for example asked for a pancake to substitute toast was told no and pancake would be $5.00 3- I ordered a French dip for almost $16 and there was only enough roast beef for half the sandwich so I threw out the other half and transferred the meat to one side. 4- patio tables outside are so nice but the noise from the traffic overwhelmingly takes over the ambiance when trying to have a conversation. 5- great & attentive service but did not care to hear our feedback 6- came here bc the title was coffee shop but it had the basic coffee Bo specialties that one would associate with the name 7- clean bathrooms

    Was good. $14.50 and $14.75 for our meals $4 for coffee. Pretty basic meals. Our waitress was amazing!

    Chicken fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns ($15.75)

    For once, having the mongrels with us helped out, haha. This place was pretty busy the Sunday morning we stopped in, with a big group of people waiting for tables. But when my husband went in to ask about patio seating, they said they'd be able to get us in right away. It was a mild fall morning, and with the patio being covered and a bit of sunshine peeking in, the patio was quite comfortable. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but it did take her a bit of time to get to our table at the start. We knew we wanted a hearty breakfast to get us through the day, and we both went with the Chicken Fried Steak meal ($15.75), and we both got the eggs and hashbrowns to complete the plate. Then, because you can't deny a craving, we ordered one pancake stack to share. The food definitely filled us up, and it was tasty and comforting to boot. The chicken fried steak was flavorful and crispy underneath the creamy, hearty and meaty gravy. The hashbrowns were cooked almost to perfection (I tend to ask for crispy on both sides, because nothing's worse than a soggy-bottomed stack of hashbrowns; these were crispy on top and crispy-adjacent on the bottom.) The pancake was fluffy and soaked up the syrup - which they serve in a giant jug - perfectly. Overall a great, hearty, homey meal that kept us satiated while we explored the village and surrounding areas that day.

    I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant and their bar seating! It was really fun, but the food wasn't over the top impressive. It was good, just not top tier. The refried beans were a little watery/chunky for my liking, and I couldn't test any cheese in my burrito (I love chz, lol). I was pleased that they had decaf coffee. Boyfriend said it was his favorite spot though, and appreciated the selection of beers. We loved how big the menu was, likely a good option for ppl with different food preferences. Also posted some photos of the menu bc the prices on the pictures I saw before going were very off (like almost half the current prices!)

    Martha is the proud owner that was kind enough to take our order n serve us.

    The service and friendly staff are so welcoming the food is awesome. This place is a hidden gem must come visit and eat here.. I so enjoyed my breakfast.

    Country House Breakfast Special

    This adorable place was just across the street from our hotel on this Labor Day weekend and the breakfast wait was short so we stopped in and were seated immediately. The interior vibe is that of an old school diner / chalet. I saw that a Yelp favorite was the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs ($15.75) and when asked, that was the first thing our waitress recommended. the chicken fry is made from ground beef which is my favorite way to make it and was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. It comes with hash browns or home fries & toast (I substituted for cottage cheese to lower my carb intake). I got their homemade biscuits & gravy, their house specialty (which completely blew my carb count but when that's their specialty you just gotta do it ) and it was wonderful. The gravy is delicious. And it came out really quick. Girlfriend got the Country House Breakfast Special ($15.95) and comes with 3 bacon or sausage links, 2 eggs with hash browns or home fries and biscuits & gravy. She got bacon and sausage and the bacon was fantastic, the sausage was pretty average. The hash browns were cooked to perfection and were delicious. At the end, girlfriend just couldn't leave without trying the French toast which looked amazing and also came highly recommended and it lived up to the hype! Great job guys - So glad we stopped in!

    Kids menu - yay!

    Absolutely perfect mountain style diner away from the crowds in The Village. A perfect kids menu and adorable counter seating. LOVE it, just my speed!

    Alpine Country Coffee shop was so good, and such a great value that I had breakfast twice on my weekend trip to Big Bear.

We saw this great looking Mexican restaurant and decided to pull in. We went in and the restaurant was packed. We could tell why quickly afterwards. We were seated and appeared. Something must've been going on in town and that is the reason for the extra amount of guest everywhere. The restaurant was a very nice looking newer style Mexican restaurant. We were seated quickly and asked for a drink order. Within moments chips and salsa appeared along with our drinks. After looking at the menu, we decided that we would split an order of chicken fajitas. The fajitas were outstanding. They had a great taste. They had a full amount of vegetables with them. They didn't come out sizzling like most fajitas do at Mexican restaurants. They were hot and the food was outstanding. At the end of the day, the service was good, the restaurant looked clean, and the food was great. We will definitely be coming back here again when it's a little less busy. Glad to see these restaurants busy up here.

The…read moreservers were friendly and attentive, the drinks were good, and the atmosphere was perfect for catching the match. We took advantage of happy hour and ordered the margaritas, which were delicious and a great value. We also happened to visit on Quesabirria Wednesday, and the birria was excellent. My only complaint is the regular drink pricing once happy hour ends. While I understand they're located in the Village and prices tend to be higher in that area, $19 for a margarita felt a bit steep. Because of that, we ended up leaving when happy hour ended. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the service, food, happy hour specials, and game-day atmosphere--just be prepared for higher drink prices outside of happy hour.

The margaritas were good and the atmosphere was relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Starting with the negative as to why it's not a 5 star review:…read more The decor on the inside and the theme is very very busy. It kinda seems like an entire hobby lobby was purchased and put into the restaurant. 3/5 design The salad was not anything special. It was good lettuce but just that, some croutons, and dressing of choice. 3/5 salad When we got there, no one came to greet us and we were waiting in the main entrance area for about a good 10 Minutes while I saw what looked like all the staff members on the left side of the restaurant hanging out and joking around. Once I went over to say that I was there, the server was attentive and polite. 3/5 service I felt the price was too high. For 2 meals and water we ended up paying around $50. I would have been more pleased with around 35-40. 3/5 price The good: The portions are really great. I love to have big portions and this place did not disappoint. The food was better tasting than expected: I was nervous with such a giant place and only 2 other parties were there. However, I really enjoyed my chicken Parmesan and my wife's nachos were good with a good amount of cheese. I would come back but not every time I visit big bear on vacation. Maybe like every 3rd visit.

    We had read all the the reviews that said service was quite slow, so we were prepared for that…read more Turns out that was only part of the problem. Service started with 2 glasses of tepid water. Not even cool water, and not an ice cube to be found. After finally ordering and waiting quite awhile we were told the dish we ordered was "not available" today. Ok. Then the table next to us was told - no pizza or garlic breads tonight. A third table was told they weren't carrying one of the deserts they ordered. Mind boggling on a Saturday night. We replaced my husband's dish with a chef salad. It came out looking like they had dropped the plate. (I'm sure they didn't, but it was a mess.) As he started to mix the salad, he discovered it was sitting in a puddle of water. Literally, standing water. We almost walked out at that point. My soup was delicious, and the Asian sampler was pretty good so we stayed and ate those. The final straw was a 4% charge to use a credit card!!!!! Yes, they soften the blow by offering a 10% discount for cash, but if you don't know that going in! Anyway, we won't be back and cannot in good conscience recommend the restaurant.
