I wanted to give this place another chance after the first negative experience. Unfortunately it was more of the same. The burger was cold and tasted like it had been sitting there for a long period of time. read more

I've been here 5+ times and each time my food has been cold. Burger, chicken sandwich, fries, they all taste like cafeteria food that's been sitting under a warmer for hours on end. Once we went back to ask for fresh fries, and they came back with the same exact ones that were cold, just in a new bag. I have no idea why I've gone so many times, I guess it's because I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and support a local burger place, but come on. Every time the same issue? Also, every time I've gone through a drive through, no one is ever friendly. Not even once. Such bad vibes here. We've lived up here for 8 years and this is the worst burger place on the mtn and we won't be back. read more

I give it a 2 star mostly for the convenience of having a drive through, but their hamburgers are subpar compared to a place like cedar glen malt shop, and Blue jay burgers charges more for their burgers but noticeable low quality ingredients. Its 10$-12$ per combo which is a bit expensive for the poor quality. I read the reviews before coming here and I kept my expectations very low and it matched my experience. While I had not been given cold fries, I was really disappointed with the quality of the burger meat, and it was a bit disturbing to see there were no char marks, which most burgers have. Milk shake was average and so were the fries, maybe ok for a stop but I wouldn't go here just for the food. read more

Well I was hopeful for this place unfortunately all my order came out wrong I ask for no 1000 island no onions add bacon, add ketchup and I didn't get any of those. Luckily the taste saved it and for that reason I will be back and I'll just have to check the order before i leave next time just sucks paying a extra dollar for something i didnt get. Hopefully next time they will do better. And whats with the add lettuce like 5 times, i didnt ask for extra lettuce. But I only got a small piece too lol Just realized it says catsup too asked for ketchup had to add one more star cause that made my day. read more

The worse tasting burgers I've ever tried and even worse customer service. There are so many better places with burgers in the area. Fries are decent, so one star. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. Got the bacon cheeseburger. Was delicious. The only downside is the wait time, but I did go during dinner rush and took into consideration they barely opened a few days ago. Will definitely be coming back read more

I really dislike giving bad reviews but ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Let's start with the fish and chips, the fish had a pretty lite coating which I liked but the fish was foul tasting!!!!! Fries were ok, onion rings were cold and greasy. The double cheeseburger was tasteless and had one slice of cheese, we really need this place! Fix it!!!!! read more

Amazing burgers as always! The double cheeseburger is to die for! The jalapeno burger has quite a kick but not over the top heat. Excellent all around! read more

Really love this place! Great food, variety of menu options and friendly staff. We've tried their salads, chicken sandwiches and a couple different burgers. Everything was fresh and delicious. Fries are super tasty too! read more

I don't usually post reviews, but I was so annoyed after picking up food from this place I wanted to let others know. I have now ordered from them twice and both times they got my order wrong. I am gluten free and also can't eat raw onions. I told them this. First time, there were onions on my veggie burger. Last night, when I ordered she asked if I wanted the grilled chicken or the breaded one. Seriously? I had just told her I was gluten free. When I picked up my order it was on a bun. It was supposed to be lettuce wrapped. My husband had asked for grilled onions on his burger and there were none. They also didn't give us our fries we paid for. I won't be going back. There must be restaurants up here that make great burgers and can get the orders correct. read more

Worst burger on the mountain. The only thing consistent about this place is that the food ALWAYS seems to be cold. Honestly can say I miss McDonald's being there because at least the food was hot and consistent, as much as I hate McDonald's. I've given this place multiple chances and I've been dissatisfied each time. Yuck. read more

Great drive in place with a strong burger and sandwich selection. If you are visiting Lake Arrowhead, this is a very convenient place to cure your hunger. read more

Been here several times trying to give this place a chance but it is honestly hit and miss. Sometimes they are spot on and the burgers and fries are great, other times the burger tastes like they haven't cleaned the grill or the fryer for the fries. Sometimes all of my food items are in my bag, sometimes I'm missing things and it's not worth the drive back or to wait in line again. I was really hoping for a great burger place up here especially since it is the only drive through, but it's not worth the line most of the time. It was good the first two months I would say and then something changed, now it is inconsistent. If you want good food it's a 50/50 chance. I love supporting local businesses so it sucks to have to say this because I really did want to support them, but I can't take the chance that I might get good food. read more

Where do I start? This place is tasty but it is rarely open when I try to go. They close early and open late. The employees were rude when I asked why they were closed early. They charge 75 cents for one little ranch that isn't even as good as Mc Donald's Ranch. There prices are way to over priced. Only good thing about Blue Jay Burger is that they offer a veggie patty. There shakes are good too. read more

McDonalds was better and that is saying a lot. Lifetime mountain resident and want so badly for local businesses to do well. I have given these guys five chances and every time it is disappointing. My daughter says it's on par with MPH cafeteria burger. Fries are always luke warm. I feel horrible leaving this review hopefully the owner will read the negative ones and improve on the mediocre product they produce. First quality of ingredients the chicken breast and hamburger patties are cisco cafeteria quality. Costco would be a step up. 2nd heat level. Make sure everything is hot when it comes out. Maybe parcook everything and then Drop it again right before bagging Go to an In and Out and learn from them quality ingredients and hot every time you order read more

First time trying this place burgers were okay but for $51 and they still forgot one of my burgers. Checked the receipt and they charged me for it and they weren't very busy. Side note best thing was the fries most likely not going back. read more

So happy we have a "fast food" place up here! Good quality and good prices for the mountain. Their fries and shakes are such a treat for any occasion! read more

This place just opened, but some things are basic. I went through the drive through and ordered a burger with no tomato (noted on the receipt) and grilled onions (not noted on the receipt). I got a tomato slice and ungrilled onions. I can only assume that the cashier was distracted by the other woman in the booth holding a baby. Has to be some kind of health code violation there! And maybe another non-employee was distracting the cook. Won't go back. read more

Hey Blue Jay step your game up! Hours say open till 10pm how come I pull into your drive thru at 9:17pm and you guys are closed? No sign saying anything about closing early or anything. Now i have 3 kids hungry and we need to find somewhere else to go. Love to support local new buisness, but def wont here! Shame on Blue Jay! read more

I've tried giving this place so many chances, as I want to support a local business. The prices are outrageous for the quality of the food. $18 for a burger and drink, no fries. For that price, it better be the best burger I've ever had in my entire life but the burger is complete hole in the wall fast food average at absolute best. These people are lucky that McDonald's is the only competition or else they would've been out of business at the start. And what's with all the freezers in the dining room? Very unprofessional. At first I figured they were making room in the kitchen for them when it was a new business, yet years later they are still in the same spot. read more

if you want to lose some pounds a have stomach cramps for a few days. Go ahead and eat from this place the worst experience ever and owner is not even trying to contact us and apologize for the bad experience. I will not recommend it to anybody I guess the b From The State heath department Is Well Deserve. read more

When the food is prepared optimally, this is an A- establishment. Good not great, but certainly better than a lot of other options up the mountain. The reason I am giving 3 stars instead of 4 is due to the inconsistency of food prep. There are clearly a few detail-oriented employees and a few bored teenagers just waiting to get off the clock. Who prepares your food will go a long way to determining your experience. I have ordered the "Aloha Chicken Sandwich" three times. The first time it was perfect and a surprisingly delicious dish. The second time there was no pineapple, which kind of ruins the dish. The third time there was no pineapple, AND excessively thick slices of onion, AND way too much sauce that drenched the bun and made it soggy before I was even halfway done eating (and I eat fast). Went the other night at around 9:40 and they were clearly rushing to close up. I am glad I called ahead because when I rolled up at 9:47, they'd already put a cone in the drive-thru and were clearly just closing up shop, even though stated hours have the place closing at 10:00. I wasn't able to order fries with my burger because they had already shut down the fryer to start cleaning--unclear if this is a managerial decision or just employees cutting corners. I think the manager's name is Christine or something, and she seems super cool and very professional, and p. sure she was not there at the time. So I don't know, but I'm inclined to assume some corners were being cut by aforementioned disaffected teenagers. Oh, and my burger was not cooked through--kind of expected this, too, because it was all of 4 minutes from placing the order to being served my food, and how can you fully cook a patty in that time? You can't. I ate it because I had nothing else to eat and was too hungry. My wiser and more prudent girlfriend shook her head at me and made insinuations about food poisoning, which luckily I avoided. Another time we paid extra for avocado and got a tiny swipe of green stuff on one corner of our burger. Also the fries were served more or less room temperature. Idk. For $7 per sandwich I expect far more consistent quality control and something of a "gourmet" burger experience, which is not what I've experienced thus far. Sorry guys I'm not impressed. The ingredients are above average quality and the concept is good, but you really need to be pickier about who you hire. To close on a positive note, once again, shout out to the nice manager lady who did offer to take care of me next time I come by. She seems legit! read more

Omg...got the most disgusting sandwich here. It was a blue jay chicken burger. Sauce was gross on it. The chicken was inedible. I ordered a HI-C and it was just a weird fizzy mix of sprite and orange soda. Expensive and food was trash. Avoid at all costs. Way better places on the mountain! read more

Good sandwiches and good service. I wish they were using less plastics in serving food

I really... **really*** wanted to like this place. It's the only spot for miles with a drive-thru! But, the burger just didn't hold up. The meat didn't have a char, which helps with flavor, so it was a little bland. It looked good when I first unwrapped the basic double cheeseburger, but the meat itself didn't impress. The fries were good, the onion rings had a nice batter but were slightly oily. I know it just opened so I'll give them another chance and suggest you try it for yourself - maybe, with a little more time, they will get their style dialed in. read more

What a welcome addition to the mountain. Everything I have ordered there has been very good. The service is great and the employees there always are polite and helpful. Burgers and the grilled chicken sandwich is awesome. read more

Came to try out this new place today service was off a bit but they tried there best with a whole new staff. Prices are good and the food was tasty hopefully it stays this way. So far a fan!!!! Glad they are open and wishing them the best. read more

Gave this place a shot three times in a row and each time I was severely disappointed. My fries are always cold and you could totally tell that they keep the burgers underneath the heat lamp because my order was ready as soon as I pulled up to the window. read more

We love this place. Been 3 times in the past 2 weeks and the whole family loves the burgers. They are HUGE and the fries and fantastic. It also is really well priced. Try the shakes too, yum! read more

Today there was no line so I went to their drive-through and the experience was great. Everybody there seems to be upbeat. Overall the food was great especially the onion rings and my cowboy burger. I did feel that the milkshake which was cookies and cream was too thin. I will definitely be back many times though. read more

Best Burgers on the mountain, hands down! This place has the best service, food and super clean, inside and out. Try the western Bacon Cheeseburger, and the 3 pig breakfast sandwich! read more

Will not ever go here again. Got to California burrito it was all fries for 17 bucks with a small drink place needs to close down......

I think the only reason people rate this higher is we have limited options. Dogwood tavern is such a better choice. Food here is bland and greasy. Go to Dogwood instead right up the street read more

basically microwave burger place disguised as a diner. paid 15 bucks for a burger and fries and it was the first time ive ever actually thrown away my food and left a place. save yourself the trip, i drove from LA to try food in arrowhead and this was on the way. read more

Came back to try a burger and fries. Fries are awesome. The cheese burger terrific. Next trip. Breakfast. Congratulations to you all. Great staff too read more

Blue Jays burgers is awful food. The burger patty is slimy and gross. The workers are on their phones. Do not go!

Tried this place again and again the burgers are not good. No quality in the meat everything was just not fresh. If your going to do just burgers it shouldn't be that difficult to do a great burger. Will never go again. read more
