My boys had bacon burgers, and I ordered the chicken, pulled pork, and cheddar jalapeño sausages. It was all really good. The Mac N Cheese and Coleslaw were very tasty too. We were all very happy with our food. Picnic bench, patio seating only. My only complaint would be finding it was a little tricky. No signs out front on the building. But park at the ELKS Lodge and walk around back. Very friendly cashier. You won't regret it.

Thank you for saving us from eating the literal one thing we individually packed.

The wait staff is very nice, kind and attentive. The food is ehh.. Very greasy and heavy flavors. If you are into heavy barbecue sauce fried, oily/greasy this place is for you... Chili was good but overly spicy Kids mac & cheese was cooked way too much as mushy. We sent the corn dip back. It just felt like dunking your chip in a bowl of grease. The drinks, however, were delicious! Recommend the cosmos.

We always order the ribeye steak and split it because the portion is huge and always cooked just right. It's one of those meals we look forward to every time we come up. The karaoke is another reason we keep coming back. It's always a fun atmosphere, whether you're singing or just watching everyone else perform. The staff has always been friendly, and the whole place has that laid-back local vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're visiting Big Bear, definitely add Murray's to your list!

Made us feel like we're were back home at our little watering hole ! She deserves a well needed raise! The bacon cheese burger was amazing. I would give her and the burger 10 stars Now's here is where the 3star comes in. Went in on sunday and Tony was the bar tender! He is the rudest, negative and most unfriendly person I think I have ever met! I got up went to the restroom and he trashed my water and napkins. When I asked if I could have more water with lime I was given water with lemon (not a big deal) then I jokingly made a comment about the napkins! Tony proceeded to tell me to go to another bar and closed us out! He said a few more choice words I won't repeat! He is bad for your establishment! There was another patron that was having the same issues! Needless to say the two brand new beers we were just served were left untouched I would come back as long and Tony isn't working!!!!! Best thing you could do is fire him

Stopped by on 8/9 with four adults and two kids after a trip to the Zoo. We were seated quickly and service was friendly. Good variety of beers. To start, we had a surprisingly tasty birria quesadilla and creamy avocado egg rolls (fried well, not at all greasy). The poké nachos were light and flavorful, but could use a bit more ahi for the price. For the burgers, we did a couple of the Declaration Day and the Bat Country (favorite). One person chose Born on the Bayou chicken sandwich, and regretted it. The flattened chicken was overcooked and lacked seasoning. Fries are great along with the exceptional housemade ranch. We were told the brussels sprouts were one of the most popular items but they were not at all a standout.

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'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.

We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back!

WARNING FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN…read more If you are planning to dine here with young children, I would strongly reconsider. Based on our experience, this restaurant is not kid-friendly at all. We felt very uncomfortable dining here as a family. The atmosphere and overall treatment did not make us feel welcome with children, and instead of being able to relax and enjoy our meal, we felt as though having young kids with us was an inconvenience. Families deserve to know this before making a reservation or spending their money here. If you are dining with young children and are looking for a warm, welcoming, family-friendly restaurant, I would recommend choosing somewhere else.

During that time, he seated two other parties, including a group of 12. When we asked about our table, he claimed he had called us and we didn't answer. My husband explained that we had been sitting right next to him, but the host rudely replied that we never told him we would be at the bar. He then walked away without explaining what we should do next. When I asked whether I needed to put our name down again, he pointed to a table and said, "It's ready over there." There was no apology and no effort to gather or seat our group. He placed menus on the table without even letting us know, so we had to seat ourselves. Thankfully, our waitress was very nice, but unfortunately, the food wasn't good either. Between the poor service from the host and the disappointing food, we will not be returning. Only the Michi was so good!

TLDR: Cash only;…read more Portion sizes are still on the bigger side; Our favorites: buckwheat pancakes, corn beef/pastrami hash. ----- Been here many times over the last decade whenever we are in Big Bear. 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. Our server was super busy so service was understandably a tad slow but decidedly adequate.

Their Ceaser salad had way too much dressing to the point where it was soggy! Overall it was an alright place for our weekend getaway lunch. But we would not eat here again.
