I simply wanted to take a moment and point out how impressed I am with the service by "Grizz". As the solo employee outside of the kitchen her attentiveness, concern and friendly demeanor made all the difference in our last minute dining choice. Specifically: Asking me what I liked or didn't like about the food and why. Kudos Grizz I notice your forward progress and I applaud you. read more

Delicious but expensive! I got a single cinnamon roll and an iced tea- the roll was awesome and I was really excited about it, but those 2 items came out to $13.50 before tip. High even for a vacation town. I probably won't come back. Too bad it was a great cinnamon roll but not worth that price tag. I didn't ask the price beforehand though, so live and learn. Outside the road is very load but the patio is great. Inside was a cute diner, but I sat outside. read more

Amazingly friendly and fun Service, the team here is like Family. The food is fresh and made with care. The price points are so affordable, and they open at 7am!!! Mountain vibes & good times ! Enjoy ! read more

45 minute wait time. Horrible tasteless food. Ketchup was basically red water. Ruined fries. Soda was flat. I will never visit again. This used to be a good spot but it recently changed ownership. Any place that cooks such bland food with burnt buns needs better cooks and management. I realize new owners should be given some slack, but this is unacceptable. Food cost was rediculous as well. read more

Food was great, service was awesome. We were seated immediately. Old school diner vibe. I would come back and recommend to a friend. read more

It can be tough to find a breakfast spot in Big Bear that isn't packed on weekends, and even harder to find one that's dog-friendly. I've been here twice now and have never had to wait for a table, even with a group of eight. The food, service, and dog-friendly atmosphere keep me coming back. We usually sit outside--just keep in mind the sun can get a bit strong at times. I've had the country omelette (no tomatoes, plus spinach and avocado) with home fries, and it was prepared very well. I've also tried the blueberry pancakes, which are delicious and not overwhelmed by blueberries. My boyfriend had the chorizo and eggs and really liked them. They also offer menudo, though I haven't had the chance to try it yet. If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot with little to no wait--and somewhere your dog is welcome--I definitely recommend this place! read more

We ordered two breakfast burritos to-go at 9am on a Sunday morning. Friendly phone service for ordering and the food was ready right on time. The food was delicious and fresh as can be. The SALSA was phenomenal. Super fresh flavors and the perfect addition to the burritos. 10/10 recommend! read more

Such great service! The waitresses were very attentive and very nice. Breakfast was delicious! I will be going back next time I visit

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Didn't get a chance to try this place. Came in because it says "pet friendly" but it's not per friendly we came in after hours of driving looking for a pet friendly place to brag some food looked at reviews before entering. Walked in with 2 small 7 lbs dogs in a stroller and we're immediately asked if they can se their tags I asked what tags? They said if they were service animals I said no we came here because it says "pet friendly" as most of big bear restaurants are, and it states on they site and reviews and they said sorry no. So we left disappointed. Maybe they need to updated their policy and write service animals welcome. I wouldn't have had a problem with it but it was deciving. read more

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

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!) read more

The power was out but the food was still good and the servers had a positive attitude. Pancakes were light and fluffy.

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! read more

We ordered eggs Benedict with hash browns. We specified crispy english muffins. They were soft and soggy, and worse, the eggs were almost hard poached. Also the so called 'hollandaise' was pretty tasteless. I ordered a cappuccino which was some "thing" called that but was served with whip cream on top and apparently some product called that. I gave 2 stars because the staff was earnest. read more

Prices here are overmarked and outrageous for the low scale setting. Same prices at a way nicer diner- you're better off at another place with better quality of tasting food and service might I add. Stuffing taste as if day old socks would. $27 (you expect that price at Black Angus on turkey day, not here) and got a plastic cup of cranberry. They need to post that and small portion of sweet potato too. read more

Busy Saturday in our resort town so we decided to do an early dinner at one of our local favorite places and they did not fail. I had the Fried Shrimp (1/2 order) with Fries and the yummy Vegetable Beef soup. The shrimp (4) was perfectly fried and the fries were fresh, hot, and yummy! Husband had the Chili Verde Burrito w/Red Sauce and rice & beans, and a roasted jalapeño on the side. He left nothing! Son had the Grilled Roast Beef Sandwich with Salad & Fries. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal! DIL had a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with the yummy soup. She also loved her meal. The servers were very attentive throughout even though there were many other customers. Great choice for "Linner" on a busy Saturday. read more
