    Came here for breakfast one morning while visiting Big Bear Lake and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It's a little distance from the main strip and it has a decent size parking lot. Kate was our waitress and she was a joy to deal with. Very helpful and in addition to taking our order, she gave us some visitor recommendations for our weekend. I was so impressed with the food and menu. Very unique items on the menu and reasonably priced for the large portion size that they give you. I had the Cordon Bleu crepes and my friend had the Santa Fe skillet. Both were delicious. We'll definitely come back here on our next visit.

    Chicken Country Fried Steak & Eggs*

    Tater Tots! Done! Most restaurants do not offer tater tots. Country Kitchen offers both tater tots and hash browns. We need to return to try other menu items. They look so good. Fluffy pancakes. Extremely fresh fruit, strawberries especially. Something about the chefs in Big Bear is amazing. Eggs over hard is actually really difficult to accomplish without making them stiff and crispy. This is the second time I have gone out for breakfast in Big Bear and had perfect eggs over hard. And you know that eggs over easy that creates an egg white shell after sucking out the egg yolk is awesome. While everything else was good, crispy chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken, I tend to focus on eggs. To us, preparing eggs perfectly is the mark for a great place to eat. It was nice and cozy. The decor was so cute. We passed Country Kitchen the day before and saw quite a few people waiting. We know why. And again, our sever was non-stop. I love that about the people in Big Bear. Next time, we do lunch/linner.

    Breakfast at Country Kitchen was in full swing when we arrived -- the kind of morning bustle where coffee cups clink, servers move at a near-balletic pace, and the scent of bacon does most of the marketing. Sad to see its doors have closed permanently. THE FOOD. - Bacon Avocado Ranch Omelette. A generous fold of eggs packed with applewood-smoked bacon and Swiss, brightened by fresh slices of avocado and capped with a drizzle of house-made ranch. Indulgent, yes -- but with just enough freshness to keep it honest. - Farm Skillet. A hearty plate designed to silence even the loudest of appetites: two eggs any style perched over a bed of seasoned hash browns, mingling with chopped sausage, onion, and green peppers. Rustic, filling, and satisfying. THE DRINK. - Coffee. Bold and much needed after a night of drinking. THE PARKING. The restaurant offered a generous surface lot that stretched out behind the building. Free, easy, and refreshingly unremarkable.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! By far, the absolute BEST food at Big Bear Lake! Ask for Ernesto when you go. He went out of his way to make everything wonderful for us! Also worth mentioning, it's the cleanest restaurant around. (Seriously, everywhere else was just sticky and gross. Not here! This restaurant actually understands the assignment). The hash browns were amazing! Fresh cooked. The eggs were perfect. True "farm fresh". The chicken fried steak was perfectly cooked. The bacon omelette was out of this world delicious! The pancakes nice and fluffy. Oh, and super yummy biscuits and gravy! Very reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. And again, the BEST service in town! Can't wait to come back! "Thank you, Ernesto for your warm hospitality!"

    Chill with good company and a good meal

    The server Rosie was great! The place was cozy and comfortable. She was very helpful on with questions and recommendations. I checked yelp and didn't see steak and eggs and she was correct, it was delicious. I should have taken the pic before I started eating lol

    Triple chocolate pancakes

    Country vibes, affordable price points, "A" Food Rating, clean environment, many options on the menu with calories shown for each item. Super delish and the server is a total sweetheart stop in for a bite, you won't regret it

My low rating is entirely based on the customer service experience within the first few minutes of arriving. I came in with my dog, fully aware that we would need to sit outside. Since most restaurants still have you check in first, I stood at the podium where there was a sign indicating a server would check in guests. After standing there briefly, an employee asked if we wanted to sit on the patio. I said yes, and he responded by telling us to "go up the ramp." Not even in a friendly manner. Me being me I just wanted to verify that I didn't have to check in as it wasn't just myself, my party we're not all with me ..wanting to make sure I was following the correct process, I politely asked if I didn't need to check in first. His response came across as annoyed, basically repeating that he had already told us to go up the ramp. The interaction felt unnecessarily dismissive and rude. There's a difference between being direct and making guests feel unwelcome. I'm usually not someone who leaves negative reviews over one interaction, but both my husband and brother-in-law also noticed the attitude, as they were close enough to hear and it immediately made us uncomfortable enough to leave. Before leaving, I did take a quick look at the patio area and noticed it was very shaded with leaves scattered around from the wind, which didn't make the outdoor dining setup feel especially inviting either. Overall, this was disappointing because I had chosen this spot to celebrate my 30th birthday and was really looking forward to enjoying a big, delicious pancake. Unfortunately, the experience started off on the wrong foot and we decided not to stay.

I had an old fashioned, it was decent... my girl ordered a happy hour mimosa and here is where the experience crashes... there was only one extra large bottle of cooks champagne left that had been opened and then recorked with a wine stopper. They couldn't get the bottle open so they took the bottle to the kitchen and the server came back out with the bottle broken just above the neck and proceeded to pour champagne from a broken bottle with her back turned to us, thinking we wouldn't notice. That was a first, big red flag. We had a caeser salad added a piece of fried chicken, we also had the Stromboli. The fried chicken tasted old and microwaved making the texture very tough and arid dry. The Stromboli was not as stale, but still had a spot that hadn't been fully heated so it was lukewarm to cold. We won't be coming back, it's a shame because the place is cute. The service wasn't bad if you're oblivious, and it wasn't intentionally bad either, maybe they were just working with what they got, I can respect that. But then I can't justify the price we paid for 2 drinks a salad and an appetizer. The serving cheap champagne from a broken bottle was something I can't overlook either.

I ordered a Nutella espresso martini mocktail and my man ordered an allagash beer (not on the menu, but on tap) - NEW beer for them, which was a great bonus! There were several people working as wait staff and one bartender, who was the manager that day onsite. Seemed like he was making tons of drinks for several tables - because, sitting at the bar right in front of him- took maybe 5+ minutes to even acknowledge that we were sitting in front of him in the middle of the bar- then it took 15 + minutes to get the two drinks and an order of fries. That was the only downpoint- but everything else was fine. Fries were great with a nice homemade ranch dressing. My mocktail martini was good - quite a lot of foam on top- but pretty and tasted kinda like a fancy chocolate milk. I never usually like wasting money on a mocktail $8 for it- but was yummie. Might come back next time and try some of the food. Great ambience - clean and nice location and size - especially compared to some other places in the village.

She got the enchiladas with bean sauce on top which we're pretty darn good. I got a chicken mole dish that was good, but not quite what I was hoping for. We both came to the conclusion that this restaurant represents a regional area of Mexico that is not necessarily the same as your standard Mexican food lineup. While the food was tasty, we didn't absolutely love it and probably won't choose this place for our next Mexican meal.
