The second I bit into the French fries, I knew something was different. They were hands down the…read morebest fries I've ever had. I immediately asked the owner what they used, and she smiled and said, beef tallow. They actually go out of their way to special-order it, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with incredible flavor. Then came the burger... wow. The bun was perfectly toasted, the beef was thick, juicy, and cooked with the perfect crust. Every bite was absolutely incredible. I swear I had a full-on food-gasm. That's how good it was. But what really made this place unforgettable was the atmosphere. It's family-owned, and you can truly feel it the moment you walk in. Every single person made us feel welcome. The owners, the staff, and everyone dining there created such a warm, genuine, inviting environment that it honestly felt like eating at a family member's home. The highlight of the evening? They let my boyfriend serenade me on the piano, and it turned an amazing dinner into one of the sweetest dates we've ever had. It was so romantic that I honestly thought, this would be the perfect place for a proposal. If someone got engaged here, it would be a memory they'd cherish forever.

I've been wanting to go there and only wish we would have sooner. The focus here is on top-quality ingredients and fresh preparation. Everything is homemade right on site -- not poured from cans and pouches. And you can tell! House-made corned beef hash? Top notch. The giant cinnamon roll, made that morning? Out of this world! We've heard great things about the fish n chips and a bunch of other dishes. Now I need to get back there ASAP. I'm hoping they are able to sell some tshirts to spread the word and also put up a BIG bright sign to the left of the parking lot (facing traffic) so people really know they are there and working hard to offer great mountain home cooking in a clean, friendly environment. Outstanding food isn't easy to find up here. Once you stop in, you will be back again and again!!!

Do you ever just want a Big Dick? Then you need to go to Idylwild and grab one at Dick's Dogs…read more When I want a Big Dick I always ask for a "Dirty Dick." I think it's the best one for its combination of flavors; chili, jalapeno and onions...mmmm, fantastic! But to be honest even an "Average Dick" tastes delicious. Dick's Dogs has a fun little stand with a casual vibe and nice little seating area and benches where you can fill up with a tasty Big Dick. If you ever have a craving for a Big Dick, cruise into idywild and stop at Dick's Dogs.

As a self proclaimed "hot dog lover", this is one of the best hot dogs I have ever had! The pickled jalapeños really elevates the dog. Dicks Dogs is a food truck with a few benches available around for seating. Given that Idyllwild is a small town, everything is already at a premium - these hot dogs included. Tijuana Dog is almost $15. If you're a hot dog lover, definitely check them out, you wont be disappointed!

My favorites are the chocolate croissant, soft pretzels, and the cardamom morning bun. Oh yea and the lemon danish. You can't go wrong here! And if you like sourdough they have the best I've had, it seems like that is one of their biggest sellers, as they are often sold out (along with a lot of other things so arrive early when you can.) They do carry some vegan and gluten free products, which have been excellent.

Raven's Bagels is my favorite bagel spot in all of Southern California. I honestly haven't had a…read moresingle thing here that I didn't enjoy. Their open-faced bagels are not only beautifully presented but also thoughtfully crafted with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The combinations are perfectly balanced, and the schmears are absolutely delicious. Every bite feels intentional, and you can tell they put a lot of care into what they serve. One of my favorite things about this spot is its location right next to the charming speakeasy-style bookstore. There's also plenty of outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to enjoy brunch with your pup. If you're anywhere near Idyllwild, this place is absolutely worth a visit. It's one of those rare spots that consistently delivers on both quality and creativity, and I find myself looking forward to every visit.

Is it a must anytime you go somewhere and there's an ice cream shop? Of course in my opinion, you…read morecan never have too much ice cream. Anytime we make a day trip up to Idyllwild, this place is always a definite favorite. Summer in the mountains with ice cream dripping down your hands. The good old days when you were younger but now it's in a cup...lol... Messy and sticky fingers hits differently these days when you're older. Saturday afternoon and there was a line at this place. Good for them and thats usually a good sign whenever you go somewhere. We've been a few times and each has been great. It's a little ice cream shop along the main strip of town. Their downtown area where all the restaurants, shops, wineries and so on. Always a line when we come but it does move fast. The menus on the front counter wall so you can check it out before you get to the front. After you order, there's a pager that's given to you. Pick up is around the side when your pager goes off. It's not a big ice cream parlor, with 2 small tables and chair in-front of the ordering counter and a couple of bigger tables on the side of the building. We went with the sampler tray I believe it's called. Four different flavors in individual cups for 12.00. It was a little wait as it seemed like there was only one worker on deck. She was taking orders and scooping the ice cream. The other person could be on break or lunch. Anyways, it was ok. The four flavors were quite nice but one was just ok. Our least favorite, the coconut which was an additional 1.00 added to the order. The others three was excellent. Of course I would forget the all the flavors but remember the one we didn't like. Ice cream was great, the one we enjoyed. It was nice to just have a seat and enjoy the treat. Everyone that was there was doing the same, enjoying their treats. It's like a staple here in the mountain. I didn't know if there's any other ice cream shop in town but this one is worth it and alway a must for us when in town. Until next time.
