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

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

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

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

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

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

Amazing customer service and affordable price points. Their menu offerings are quite expansive with the delicious quality of a mountain diner, you can't go wrong here. I have tried so many menu items and everything is delicious too! Enjoy 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

This place is suuuuper cozy. The seating is good. They do get busy so it can get super packed but the food is great and worth it. Service is great. . Parking can be a bit rough if they're busy but again very very worth it. Lots of windows for light. The bench seats are well kept and in good condition. 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

A wide range of food! Breakfast served all day! Outstanding Mexican food with large portions at reasonable prices!

If you don't wanna wait at the grizzly Manor, this is real close to it and a decent breakfast. It's not cuisine, but it's very good

I love Alpine it's always good!! We've lived here 10 years and always know we can get a good meal.

Home fries are amazing here!! They really know how to make them the right way. Great portions. Cute little old timey cafe. We sat on the patio with the pup. read more

Great food & great service! So glad I chose to eat there. Had the chicken fried steak & eggs...Yummm

I found this place on Yelp (of course), so thanks to viewers like you, you helped me find a killer diner! I wanted to get away from the "downtown" of Big Bear Lake to avoid the crowds, especially on a Sunday morning. We showed up around 815 with a dog, and there was plenty of seating in the patio, while other restaurants already had a line outside. I'll be honest - I never went inside the building, so my review is only from the patio perspective. This is a HUGE menu. They have all of your Mexican/American breakfast and lunch needs covered. It took me forever to choose because my gut couldn't pick just one thing. The service here was phenomenal; there were two different servers who must've been mind readers because they always stopped by the table as soon as we needed a coffee refill or anything else. They have good strong Diner coffee, and it's always hot and freshly poured. I ordered the Chile Verde omlette, and it was really good. It came with a very generous portion of fatty, tender pork chunks that melted in your mouth. This giant omlette was coated in a tangy, mildly spicy Verde sauce and melty cheese. I had crispy hashbrowns accompany this dish and it was a perfect choice to soak up the extra sauce. My husband got the Machaca and eggs plate with Corn Tortilla. This place doesn't joke around with their portion sizes.. there was a huge helping of tender spiced beef paired with eggs that almost overlapped the plate. He enjoyed them so much that he hardly spoke to me during breakfast, our conversation picked up again once he was done scraping his plate clean! This is a great choice for hot coffee and delicious breakfast! read more

Was looking for early morning coffee while in Big Bear and was unfortunately slightly disappointed. The coffee here tasted like it was made from tap water and did not have any flavor. A positive was that the breakfast burrito was good but the potatoes that were served on the side had no flavor and were a bit undercooked. read more

Incredible food I got the eggs Benedict and could not be more happy. The coffee was fresh and yummy.

This quaint little breakfast spot located in the heart of Big Bear City on the main blvd makes this spot convenient to find. Patio seating and takeout were the only dining choices, no inside seating. I had the tomato, bacon and avocado omelet with the American fries. Omelet had good ingredients but the prep was a little sloppy. Not a complaint, just a criticism and not a big deal. The American fries were just ok and had me wanting to order the hash browns instead. I would give this place another try but maybe order one of the breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros or other specialties. Enjoy! read more
