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!

Huge shoutout to Ryan, our server he is such a kind positive kid. He was the only one working and still made sure we were taken care of. Truly a gem and hope he's being treated well. I tend to judge places by their bathrooms and they super clean and freshly mopped, which I appreciated. Food was good, the burger was simple but good the onion rings, pickle fries and chili cheese fries were amazing. The buffalo wrap was yummy! We'll definitely be back!

My friends and I had lunch here. We went around 1pm on a Friday. It was pretty empty…read more They have lots of tvs, a big bar in the middle with tables surrounding. They also have a little arcade room off to the side. The service was okay. Our waitress was pretty prompt and came back to check on us until she gave us our food and didn't come back until we were ready to pay. I got the elote balls and spicy BBQ burger. It was very good and my friends liked there food as well. For the price I'd deffinitly come back again. Our party had 5 people. We got 4 meals, one appetizers, and a few beers for 100$. Not bad at all!

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.

Don't sleep on the Cookshak. Probably the best brisket I have ever had in my life…read more First off don't let google maps take you down the little side street to the side driveway, what you want to do is pull into this old Elks lodge building with the huge vacant looking lot that says for Elks only. You're fine, its also for patrons of the Cookshak. Next follow along around the side of the lodge into the backyard area and you'll come across a concrete patio w benches and tables. Order from the window and take your food to eat out on the back patio. The menu is different from what you can find on these Yelp menu photos so expect the prices to be a lot higher than two years ago, but prices are way higher everywhere from two years ago. I ordered a one item plate w two sides thinking I might not have ordered enough food but boy was I wrong. The sides portions are huge, the cornbread is huge, and the meat filled me up. The beans here are a spicy chili bean type that went great on top of the corn bread. The slaw was very good and the mac n cheese was reminiscent of kraft mac n cheese only w/ the addition of pepper and a sharper cheese flavor giving it a memorable taste. The potato salad was decent, potatoes prolly coulda been cooked a tiny bit longer but the rest of the salad tasted good. The star of the show was the brisket. You will get a slice or two near the end that might be cooked thru a little too much for my liking but the majority of what you get is melt in your mouth deliciousness. The honey mustard sauce they offer is perfect to dip the well done slices in but the juicy slices go great unassisted. I originally picked this spot because the other popular bbq spot nearby didn't open until 3 but I am glad I picked this spot because the food left me satisfied for the rest of the day and left me w a smile on my face afterwards.

FYI Cash only! But they have an atm in the lobby. Really fast service. The food was insanely good…read more Ate it too fast for a picture. My wife and I shared a cinnamon roll and the avocado and bacon omelet. 10/10

This place is such a vibe!! We swung by here as our final meal in Big Bear and I'm so glad we did…read more They have a small parking lot to the side of the restaurant. As you walk up, you're greeted by a massive shark head and you can spot their fun desert decor like cactus and peach umbrella covers. Instantly you know you're going somewhere fun. When you walk in, you stand in a line to order your food off a screen, and they call your name when your order is ready. There are QR codes so you can order a drink while waiting and you'll be entertained by the quirky surfer bro who's calling out names when people's drinks are ready. Everyone is donned with Hawaiian shirts and look genuinely happy to work there. There's a big outdoor patio with those peach umbrella covers to provide some shade, as well as seating inside. It kinda feels like you're in Disneyland because there's so much decor and so many things to look at. While waiting to order food, I ordered the island style cold brew with macadamia nut milk. It was good! We also got a tropical gangster, a frozen drink with passion orange and guava and it was the perfect drink to sip on for a hot day. For food, we got the pele poke bowl and the cabo poke bowls. The portions weren't big, they come in small bowls, and you're paying about $20 each for them, but they were surprisingly good. Not the best poke ever, but good enough for Big Bear. Both bowls had ahi but different flavorings and toppings. The cabo came with crunchy wonton strips and jalapeños, while the pele came with rice and veggies like cucumbers and peppers. My bf and I split both bowls and we enjoyed them! This is def a must visit if you're in town!

Touchscreen to order your food makes it feel way detached. Preferred it before. The staff is absolutely over-the-top friendly nice Food is good. Only ahi or tofu for your poke bowls. Kalua pig is definitely mid more like soggy pulled pork, rice is meh too. Waffle dessert was not yum. Bananas were borderline bad. Not to hate on the food - wanted to love it The shark is my fave entrance ever! Not sure how it's the best poke in California- but who knows Shaka

Then, while waiting for the check, I made the mistake of reading the one-star reviews. Now I *had* to leave one. Yes, the food isn't served at lightning speed. Ours wasn't either. And you know what? It was worth every minute. This is a small, family-run restaurant--not a corporate chain with an army of cooks hidden behind swinging kitchen doors. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, tasted homemade, and arrived hot and fresh. The staff was warm, welcoming, and working incredibly hard. As a bonus, they're genuinely dog-friendly. We were able to enjoy breakfast with our pup on the patio, and they even have a dog menu. That's not just "dogs allowed"--that's a business that goes the extra mile. Somewhere along the way we've confused "not instant" with "bad service." We expect fresh, made-to-order food from small businesses to appear with fast-food timing, then punish them when it doesn't. Patience has become a lost art. If you're in a hurry, there are plenty of drive-thrus. If you want an outstanding breakfast, friendly people, a place that welcomes your dog as warmly as it welcomes you, and food that's worth waiting for, Broadway Cafe is absolutely deserving of its reputation. We'll happily be back.

In response to the owner's reply…read more.. Service isn't just serving food and tasting your food. It's a combination of your logistics and workflow of your organization. Perhaps unorganized in the kitchen or slow in production. This isn't merely just waiting but the fact that your own staff told us different wait times. We did wait. We waited according to your instructions and schedule. We were told many different wait times every time we followed up and asked. The time kept getting longer and longer when there were no other parties waiting but us. First we were told 30mins, then literally minutes later it changed. Then an additional 20mins added. Then, 30. Then we waited, and it changed again. They kept telling us it would be longer and longer. Why would the time go backwards? A small gilled cheese sandwich for an hour? One order. You can ask any business owner or any place outside of your small town that it is a ridiculous wait time for a customer to wait for that long for one small sandwich. Instead of arguing back with your customers, a decent thing to do would have been to apologize and just have accommodated the sandwich just for having us almost an hour of waiting without even getting in. A true business owner wouldn't have responded in how you did. Not only horrible service, but bad ownership practices so I see where it reflects poorly.
