    French toast.
    Sean W.

    We ordered the veggie omelette with sausage, Montecristo sandwich OMG! We also ordered the biscuits and gravy and finally the French toast. It was delicious.. service was good the server was very nice and friendly. We sat out side we were a group of 4 it was a perfect day to sit out side and eat. I've been here several times to eat and it never disappoints.

    This place is so cute, very friendly, and has delicious food! Plus they have a little cute shop to the side of the restaurant that always has adorable things like holiday decor, bear/mountain decor, etc. CUTE. I have been here a few times and service is always spot on and super friendly. Love it. Food is yummy with plenty of options. I enjoy having breakfast, lunch, or dinner here. Their sandwiches are delicious and they have some pretty yummy dessert options as well. Definitely a favorite spot in town; thank you!

    Excellent food, service and a very cozy cabin ambiance. We got the Monte Cristo sandwich and the daily special, prime rib omelette, both were perfect. One of the best mountain town restaurants in the San Bernardino mountain range. Definitely recommend!

    Omelette and hash browns
    Abby W.

    I loved this cute mountain restaurant and it's amazing breakfast food. I was immediately sold on the biscuits and gravy, which were delicious. After starting with those, I also got the Tim sandwich, which was a grilled chicken, avocado and jack cheese toasted on garlic parmesan bread. Absolutely amazing and everything I want in a sandwich. My vegetarian boyfriend ordered an omelette and hash brown. We were stuffed and I still brought home half the meal!

    My guy and I have been real estate hunting for some additional property. And have been exploring several areas. We've never been to wrightwood so we dropped by this evening and happened upon the Grizzly Cafe. The cafe food portion and gift shop are attached to be another. We ordered the soup of the day and mozerella sticks, coffee and hot teas. All arrived quickly and yummy. Afterwards went shopping in the gift shop to look for salt and pepper shakers. So many cute ones are perfect Xmas gifts. Such a cozy and warm holiday experience. Will return. Would love to see the fireplace lit as well in the cafe on these cold winter nights. Thanks guys!

    What a great location in Wrightwood! I was visiting the area while my son went snowboarding so I checked Yelp for a place to go have a drink/some food while I waited. There are not tons of choices, but so glad I found this place! When I got there I saw a table outside with christmas decor at 70% off, some really lovely items. I got a couple of snowflake ornaments. They also have a super cute gift shop inside the restaurant. I asked the girl at the front if I could have a table near an outlet and she accommodated me at a 4 person table, which I thought was very nice. My server was amazing! She let me take my time at the table while I enjoyed a couple glasses of wine, then I ordered some food, and she always checked on me and told me not to rush. Menu was huge, so many selections. Wine was a great deal at $7 a glass and I ordered a club sandwich which was so yummy and huge. I only had half and gave my son the rest, it really was enough for two people. Also got the fruit cup and that was good, had a variety like melon, orange, grapes, etc. I'll have to come back for breakfast next time. Awesome place for good food and great service!

    My 3 friendly dogs

    Disappointed by New Dog Policy I've been coming to this restaurant for years and have always brought my 3 well-behaved, leashed dogs without any issue. It's been one of our favorite spots. However, on my most recent visit--after driving 45 minutes to get there--I was told by the manager that only service dogs are now allowed. When I explained our history with the place, she simply said, "I don't know who's been allowing it, but it's service dogs only now." I understand that rules can change, but there was no notice, and the way it was handled felt dismissive. If you're a dog owner looking for a pet-friendly spot, unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this one.

    Was super sad to have just missed breakfast so this review is on their lunch. The inside is cozy (cabin vibes) and is connected to a cute store. Service was warm and great. Got the grizzly burger with coleslaw and their fish and chips (comes with fries and coleslaw). Portions are pretty big. The fries were amazing - super crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The batter on the fish was light, which I loved but was overall a bit bland (the tartar sauce you can dip it in is good though). The burger and coleslaw were solid too - just wish we got the thousand island sauce on the side because it was a bit much on the burger. Overall, would come back when we're in the area to try their breakfast!

    Ortega Beef Sandwich
    Brent S.

    Great food and service. The fries were perfectly cooked. Sandwich was terrific. Nicely decorated, cozy place to have a meal at.

    The most amazing experience, Haley was our server ,,her energy and smile and all around vibe was what made the experience for us , she was funny sweet attentive ,,, the food was amazing definitely recommend the pastrami melt add mustard lol,, a little smoky flavor to the pastrami,,, and then she made the most delicious moist warm fudge brownie with extra fudge extra ice cream extra whip ,,,, she was an absolute doll ,, she was so amazing we ended up going back for breakfast the next day ,, unfortunately she wasn't working but all in all the food is amazing ,, we will definitely make this our kitchen away from home ,, it's definitely worth the drive !! HALEY stay amazing sweetheart !!!!!!!

    Went to Mtn High one Saturday morning. Decided to check out this place before we left and were not disappointed! We were a party of 5. Three adults and 2 children. We got there about 30-45 before dinner. We were seated within minutes of walking in. The waitress was very nice. All of the staff were nice. Because we arrived between lunch and dinner, not all of the dinner items were available. We decided to order appetizers while we waited 30 mins before we ordered so we could get dinner which I believe started at 4. Everything we ordered was delicious! Even the kids' pasta looked good. The serve large portions, so bring your stretchy pants! Next time I'm in town I plan to swing by again. Typing this up now is making my mouth drool!

    A family owned restaurant and always dependable for decent meals. The hot sandwiches are very tempting. The burgers selections are not too bad either. We had the Grizzly burger with fries. The burgers selections are was good but the seasoned fries are da bomb! Deep it in ketchup or the bbq came with the burger were delicious. Very cozy place to dine.

    Two Egg Breakfast with biscuits and gravy
    Cindy T.

    My boyfriend researched this place and we came up here for breakfast and snow! Its is a small place and yes there is a wait. But the food is amazing and the gift shop is so cute! We had Emily as our waitress. But to be honest everyone is so friendly. We definitely had an amazing time! And we will be back!

    Several empty tables to make you wait 20 mins to be seated...

    Hi! Do you allow dogs on the outdoor patio for lunch? Planning on visiting tomorrow!

    Sorry, Our patio is closed due to cold weather at 6,000 feet.

    Do you have wifi at the cafe?

    Sorry, we do not have wifi.

    Do they serve breakfast all day?

    We serve breakfast until 11:30.

    Do you take reservations?

    Sorry, we do not. Thank for your question

    Why did I get charged a $16 service charge for 4 adults?

    Not sure why there was a service charge. Please let me know the date when your party was the Grizzly… 

    Is their sitting area open as Jan 2021?

    It will open Jan 29, 2021

    Is it pet friendly? Do you have to sit outside?

    I love this place and I love my dog, but when I have him with us we normally don't eat here. For the best experience don't bring a pet. They don't have a space to dine with them.

My children like this place, my wife likes this place and obviously lots of other people do. My wife and I shared the poutine, and we had some chicken wings as an appetizer. She likes Guinness draft there and I had Sour Monkey Triple draft. The poutine was good and it was the first time my wife had tried it--she loved it. I thought there could have been a little bit more of the cheese curd, it was fried, but I know every place makes theirs a little different. The atmosphere is great; it reminds you of a cabin on the inside and of course you're in Wrightwood CA so it's a perfect mountain hangout. The tables are clean, the area swept up and a very inviting indoor environment as outdoor environment. This is a rustic environment, so don't expect four-star accommodation. Again, as I said, it is perfect for this area, and I would expect nothing less. The service was great, we had two or three different servers, and they were always polite, knew their menu well, and offered upgrades. Had a great conversation with this server and he had been coming up there for years himself before working there. His daughter and wife were outside, and he would periodically chat with them which made us feel like it was a great family environment. The menu is varied and they have some excellent hamburgers; I have had the patty melt in the past. There is something about being 5000 feet above sea level, having a cold drink, and hot food; it's amazing. If you happen to be up in the Wrightwood area stop by at this place you will not regret it the food is hot and tasty, the beer is cold and the service and ambience is excellent,

I'll admit, the initial smell reminded me a little of an old Las Vegas casino, but don't let that fool you. This is the only true sit-down restaurant in town, and if you're looking for a romantic dinner, this is the spot. We arrived right at opening, and the bar already had regulars enjoying their evening. We were seated in the main dining room, where it was just us, and another party of four. Kara, who greeted us, was bubbly, personable, and welcoming. Our server, Alicia, was equally wonderful. Both ladies were knowledgeable about the menu, quick with recommendations, and incredibly attentive. They had that sixth sense of knowing what we needed before we even had to ask. We ordered a nice variety to share: the tempura, seasonal fire-roasted artichoke, fried zucchini and squash, spinach salad, Malaysian shrimp, Pacific cod fish & chips, and the top sirloin steak. Honestly, we walked in with zero expectations, but this small-town steakhouse really delivered. The food was delicious, but the service stood out as truly top notch.
