    Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger
    Lyane P.

    Our first time coming here for lunch. I had a hamburger and husband had an Avocado Bacon Cheeseburger. Portions are very generous and I had to clamp down on my burger to bite it. I found the burger to be a bit on the dry side though, even with French dressing and other condiments on the burger. I ordered a small order of fried zucchini to go with the burger, which was good. We had water to go with the lunch and it tasted a bit odd-had to ask for lemon to mask the taste. The cost was $30.55 before tax and tip. Service was good. The wait staff answered our questions and were friendly. There are only 3 tables inside and 5 mostly shaded tables outdoors. It was a hot day and I was hot throughout lunch .

    We took a quick day trip to Big Bear Lake to catch a little snow before the big storm and asked some locals for food recommendations. First question they asked us: "Do you like burgers?" Yes. Immediate yes They sent us to Broadway Café, and it did not disappoint. It's just past the Village, right off the main road by the lake, with easy parking on site. There's a small outdoor patio (great for pets or groups) and a cozy indoor space (only like 3 or 4 tables inside). The staff was incredibly friendly, especially the girl at the register, who was such a gem. You can see the chef in the back cooking, which is always a good sign. We ordered two burgers and fries to share, and wow... the burgers were HUGE and super filling. The fries were freshly made and hit the spot with a little salt and ketchup. Best part? We spent under $30 for both of us. Affordable, delicious, and great quality. Fun Broadway-themed décor too, especially if you love theater vibes. Highly recommend if you're visiting Big Bear and craving a solid burger spot.

    Amazing first experience here. Very cozy atmosphere, super friendly people, and the food was really delicious. You can tell they care about both the service and the vibe of the place. This was my first time visiting Broadway Cafe, and I'll definitely be stopping by every time I'm in the area for business or nearby. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to coming back again.

    Not recommended this place is a disaster... I ordered a Hui Hui chicken sammy & got flack for going for pick up not eating in then old lady seemed flustered and short with me for an unknown reason she probably thought was a tourist but Gus's what I'm local and will never go back here then she spilled a whole tray of drinks on some customer, I'm standing there waiting for my order So trying to be nice I help her pick up the cups off the ground, got no thank you or anything except a scowl the other customers just sat there staring at her like a bunch of jokers...I over hear them say don't answer the phones, I guess they were completely overwhelmed with the 6 customers they had...Then they call my order I pay $20 and a leave, turns out I get home and it's a hamburger!!! It was mediocre at best...I try to call them back but they don't answer I was so hungry I'm not driving all the way back there so I'm leaving this review instead.

    I thought everything was pretty good, but I get the most basics of breakfasts (scrambled eggs with a side of avo). I did try their blueberry pancake which was yummy! Hubby got a salad with chicken and a burger the two times we've been. He was like it was "okay." Service is friendly, but slow, but I think it's just the mountain-lake vibe, a lot of restaurants in BB seem to be lacking the urgency us impatient city folks are used to.

    We drove by this place and decided to give it a shot... They only have three table tables on the inside but they have outside seating and a deck. It has a really great vibe and ambience inside with very friendly staff and really excellent food I had a bagel sandwich very good! Vegetarian options too. Highly recommend

    3 tables for indoor dining.. there is plenty seating outside

    Staff is super friendly. Came originally for the lattes... the house made syrups are the best, but they are seasonal! Comes in a huge cup. Breakfast burrito was sopo good esp with the green salsa it comes with. The pancakes are also really fluffy and tasty with the butter, didn't even need all the strawberry sauce, but good if you're a sweet tooth. Will be back

    Everything from the food, the vibes, the hospitality 100/10!! A must stop for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Will definitely be coming back.

    Food was yummy and filling, though nothing exceptional. Inside the restaurant is small and cozy, and they also have outside dining. It's a great place to stop on your way to or from snow tubing. I'd recommend!

    Had dinner here last night with my fiancé and both of us were so thoroughly impressed by every…read moreaspect of our experience - that I just had to log-in to write this review. There were a a handful of people waiting to be seated when we arrived and the couple before us were seated at the last outdoor patio table available. The hostess told us that we could go upstairs to the bar area and sit anywhere we wanted and a server would be with us directly. So that's what we did. As a side note, the whole vibe of the restaurant was very comfortable and the building itself is pretty remarkable. Water and menus were delivered within minutes of us selecting our table, and our waitress Victoria maintained that same level of attentiveness the whole time we were there. The biggest shortcoming of so many restaurants in and around Big Bear is the bar and their specialty drinks. But this place just slam dunked on every other restaurant we've ever tried over the years - and not just for the drinks. I love a good old fashioned but until last night, every place I'd been to served their old fashioned in a glass full of ice like I was getting a soda at a fast food drive through. Not here. A proper big block ice cube made the "Maple old fashioned" (hands down) the best drink I've ever had. (I think they've got like 7 or 8 different varieties of the old fashioned and I will definitely be back to try them.) Our potato skins appetizer was on another level and that was before our entrees even arrived. My beef dip sandwich was perfect as was wifey's chicken Scaloppini. The timing of food arriving and the periodic check-ins from our waitress was flawless. We spoke briefly with the bartender, Doug (who may or may not have been one of the owners) to express how much we enjoyed our drinks and dinner. The hallmark of a well-run restaurant is that everyone who works there conducts themselves like it's their name on the sign out front. That's exactly what we got from everyone involved. Whoever is in charge of the kitchen staff deserves a Michelin star rating. The rest of the staff is equally impressive. I can't say enough about this place. Excellent drinks, excellent food and dynamite service. If you want a top-notch dining experience in Big Bear, this should be your first and only choice. From now on, it'll be mine.

    We were quoted a 15-25 minute wait, which somehow turned into nearly an hour. Apparently, Oakside…read moremeasures time the same way airlines measure "a slight delay." We're a family of four with a well-behaved standard poodle, so we completely understood that our seating options were limited. What we didn't understand was watching two other families with dogs arrive after us and get seated well before us, along with what felt like half of Big Bear. Our "table is ready" text finally arrived 53 minutes after we joined the waitlist. If the real wait is an hour, just say an hour. At least then we could have taken our dog for a hike, grabbed lunch somewhere else, and possibly returned in time for our table.

Our latest visit yesterday was still overall a very positive experience. Much to our delight, their buckwheat pancakes are still the best pancakes EVER (imho). These pancakes are the reason why we come to Teddy Bear every time. Something about the flavor and texture just makes them stand out. In fact, we no longer order pancakes anywhere else. Corn beef hash and pastrami hash are still so very flavorful and satisfying. The cinnamon cornbread is still good. Coffee might seem a little weak for some (like my husband) but good enough for me.
