The staff is consistently upbeat, the cooks move like a well-oiled team, and everything comes out the way you want diner food to come out: hot, familiar, and satisfying. It genuinely feels family-owned--not in a gimmicky way, but in the way people greet you, check in on your table, and serve your food with a smile. Locals roll in happy, chat a little, and you can tell this spot is part of the rhythm of Blue Jay. If you want the classic diner experience--easy, friendly, always solid--this is it.

Put our name down and had to wait ~30min which was fine since we just window-shopped the nearby shops Ordered: - Corned beef hash (4.5/5): delicious flavor but wish there was a bigger portion of corned beef especially when compared to the hash brown. tip: ask for a hard fry to get extra texture - short stack pancakes (3/5): pancake texture was alright but not particularly special. Being covered in whipped cream doesn't help. Decent value though if you're fueling up Would definitely come back if we're back in town Cheers, Villager Coffee!

It wasn't the first time we'd eaten there, but it was a very long time in-between. The ambiance is…read morecomfortable with old-fashioned vintage dinnerware on the walls, homey curtains on the windows, and just an overall welcoming feeling, in addition to a lovely view of the lake. The service was very good, having a server who was attentive and made sure that we were always satisfied and wanted for nothing. This time I opted for a simpler meal called the Little Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs and potatoes, both of which were done beautifully! The eggs were light and fluffy and the potatoes have lots of seasoning and veggies included in them. Being vegetarian, I opted out of any of the meats, but found this breakfast to be very satisfying both for my taste buds and my stomach! To start out your day in Lake Arrowhead, I highly recommend Belgian Waffle Works!

I think it took 10 minutes to get water, 10 minutes to find someone to get our order in, and then 20-30 minutes until our food came out. Definitely a very slow paced restaurant - come if you're not in a hurry and in a chill mood. We actually came here because all the other restaurants we wanted to try had a 2+ hour long wait and Sunsets was only about 30 minutes. You can walk around the village while you wait, which helps a lot.

Just show up before 7:45 pm (last call for seating). The food is very freshly made and is pretty good for a buffet. The kitchen staff will accommodate you if you have any dietary restrictions. Beverages and desserts are included in the price. And the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's so nice to have a low stress dining option onsite. Plus, there is a bar and tavern in the back if you want something smaller. Tip for dinner: save room for dessert. It's a small selection, but hits the spot for post dinner treat. Tip for breakfast: don't wait until the end of the dining time to get what you want from the buffet, the staff starts clearing the buffet items about 15-20 minutes before last seating and they won't refill some items.

I tried to come out once a month with my dogs and get a beer and a small appetizer at each location and usually dinner at the last location.

We ordered the California Dog tater tots with garlic Parm and a peanut butter and jelly burger that was to die for everything. Everything was amazing except for it being a little windy on the patio and a little chilly, but that was the least of our worries our dogs were comfortable. The food was amazing. The ambience was exceptional and the service was top-notch. Thank you sir for the amazing recommendations. We will be back for sure from your friends with the Doberman and German Shepherd dogs.

Walking in yesterday, it was such a good-vibe, welcoming place. There was sunshine coming through the large windows and color all around. Our waitress was warm and welcoming as well as on top of our dining needs, even as it got busier. We 4, two of us being vegetarians, each found something delicious to enjoy. I got the BAT Omelette, which was generous with cheese, avocado, bacon, and as a delightful switch up, cherry and grape tomatoes. The presentation was a feast for the eyes, with its dainty and colorful flower petals on top. In fact, all dishes were beautifully presented. I ordered fruit instead of potatoes, which was enough to share. My mom found her bagel and lox delectable and a large enough portion to take 1/2 home. Friends found vegetarian enjoyment in the Goat omelette and the breakfast sammie. They were both well pleased with bellies full. All of us were happy brunchers ! As we dined, the place welcomed a steady stream of guests, both inside and out, which is furry best friend welcoming. So, on Sundays, come early. Great food, vibe, service....a perfect opportunity to break bread together when local or up the hill for a visit.

The diner is cozy and the servers are welcoming. The food isn't Michelin-quality, but gets the job done at solid prices. I also think the quality has remained consistent over the years.

I have been coming here for many years.. Yesterday we stopped in for an afternoon snack…read more. We decided to share an order of chili cheese fries and an ice tea.. When the order arrived it looked good with the exception of the onions.. Covered in onions.. We didn't order it that was as menu says you can add onions and we didn't - but it showed up and were were kinda in a hurry and hungry.. (The chef grabs the frozen fries with his bare hands as touching other foods) Just an FYI So the chili cheese fries were a soppy soaking wet mess. We didn't even eat 1/2 of them as it was like a cheesy wet soup. Probably worst chili cheese fries I have ever had. The server had no smile or personality and other than taking our order and giving us our check.. She said nothing to us and we were sitting at the bar.. She wouldn't even look at us and ask how everything was.. This place didn't feel the same from the pervious visits.. I will probably not return here again.. The only reason I gave two stars, is that the place was clean..

Burger was ok, average meat and bread. Fish and chips were ok, nice crisp, batter not too dense, needed seasoning, very plain. Chicken wings were ok, little dry, not too much flavor. Cool for groups, lots of alcohol options, good kid options, food was average. I would come back if I was in the area, and had a large group, and wanted alcohol. Dragon egg, neutral.

I sat on the patio with my German shepherd and my Doberman. I even came inside to let the lady with green hair know that I was outside. I was completely unattended. No one came out to check on us.

I really enjoyed the view but unfortunately the service didn't live up to the hype And by the way I still left a 22% tip I'm not that type of patron who won't leave a tip, but I was really disappointed with the service. I like to take my dogs to arrowhead village and bop around from restaurant to restaurant order a beer and a small appetizer and just explore. I really hope they get it together because the competition is very fierce out there.
