Was looking for a great burger, asked around town and was highly recommended to this establishment…read more Let me tell you, the locals were not wrong. This is a must stop when you're in Lake arrowhead. I forgot the name of the burger, they use car names for the names of their burgers. I got the cheeseburger with bacon. It was amazing. Taste like high-quality meat, seasoned to perfection and the service is welcoming and they make you feel at home. I really wanted to get the double bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon, but after talking to the waitress, she recommended if I'm not that big of an eater, to go with a single. Let me tell you the single is very filling. If you have a huge appetite, Then go with the double. The burgers here are very well endowed and will not leave you craving for more. I look forward to stopping by this establishment again whenever I'm in Lake arrowhead. They have a cool retro theme seating area, reminds me of an old diner. Which is weird because that's what they were going for lol

We had a mini vacation in Lake Arrowhead, and this business was one that I was looking forward to…read more Why? A tasty thick malt sounded amazing, especially if the business is kind of known for it with many options. I had not had a malt in so long. I kept wondering when we could find a window to squeeze this in. We finally walked a mile over from where we stayed (a lot of this was uphill so that was rough for me) and we plopped down, ready for our malts. I ordered a rocky road malt and Steven ordered a chocolate chip malt. The server was surprised at the easy order she received as we did not order any food or anything. Yet, it still took some time. Finally the malts arrived, but unfortunately we were left so disappointed. Malts are supposed to be thicker than shakes, but these drinks were pretty much just melted ice cream. So, we are not sure if the orders were placed as shakes and still much more melted than other shake shops, or what happened. I felt like I was drinking melted ice cream with a spoon. Once I got through my glass, I didn't bother trying to pour more from my metal cup into the regular cup. I just started scooping from the extra stainless steel cup, hoping to save some thicker portions in there. There were a few, but not a lot. Since I was expecting a thick malt or something thicker than liquid ice cream, I devoured it pretty fast and now had a tummy ache. We tried it, but it didn't work out for us.

If you venture down the lake's main thoroughfare toward the new concert venue, you'll find the…read moreVillage Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe as the last business on the left. With some outside tables offering scenic views of the lake, this is a great spot to take a rest from browsing and grab an ice cream cone, cold drink, specialty coffee, or sugary treat. The shop offers Thrifty Ice cream in assorted flavors, cone choices ranging from simple sugar to freshly-made, warm waffle cones for cradling your scoops, and a variety of additional crowd pleasing snacks such as churros, baked goods, specialty lattes, Dole Whip, soft serve, and other edible treasues too numerous to mention. Price wise, their offerings are a bit on the higher side - I paid around $10 for a large chocolate malt (shakes are cheaper) - but you will probably encounter a small, quickly-moving line upon entry. And though ice cream can be found at other village businesses, indeed, there are some confections that are unique to this site. Our server (apparently only one on a weekday afternoon) was pleasant and efficient, rapidly filling orders and fielding any questions as she moved to and fro translating the pictured menu offerings into the equally-tempting tangible goodies that excited patrons scurry away holding. It's hard to resist this little spot as you peruse the shops along the esplanade - and what's better than strolling around that walkway bend to the lakefront businesses with a refreshing treat in hand? I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye and, subsequently, dazzles your tastebuds.

I'm a sucker for a good pop shop, so when I saw that Lake Arrowhead had a Rocket Fizz location I…read moregot pretty stoked knowing what would be inside. This location is a pretty good size and is filled with literally hundreds of different flavours of pop to choose from, as well as candy, random toys, and a variety of other random crap to scratch an itch you don't even know you have. After making my way through the store I managed to pick up both a grass flavoured pop as well as a some fruity type one that I drank right away and enjoyed very, very much. I drank the grass pop the following day when it was cold and it was a super odd taste to say the least. Good? I sure think so. Overall, Rocket Fizz was a fun shop to stroll through and definitely a place I'll return to on future trips to Lake Arrowhead. The best part? This place is always going to be full of new flavours!

So this was the final stop today after visiting two previous restaurants at the lake arrowhead…read moreVillage. I tried to come out once a month with my dogs and get a beer and a small appetizer at each location and usually dinner at the last location. This place was the best by far we were greeted by this tall gentleman with the beard bald guy super cool dude. This waiter was amazing full of personality. Customer service skills was excellent. We ordered the California Dog tater tots with garlic Parm and a peanut butter and jelly burger that was to die for everything. Everything was amazing except for it being a little windy on the patio and a little chilly, but that was the least of our worries our dogs were comfortable. The food was amazing. The ambience was exceptional and the service was top-notch. Thank you sir for the amazing recommendations. We will be back for sure from your friends with the Doberman and German Shepherd dogs. Thank you lakefront

The top and bottom layers were ginger-doodle with gingerbread frosting and the middle layer was chocolate with espresso frosting. The flavors were amazing and the cake fit our rustic Christmasy theme perfectly. We had a very small and intimate wedding in December 2024 to which Jerry and the Gingerbread House were amazing to work with and gave the best service. We also had some of their goodies from the shop and those were also incredible. Thank you, Jerry! We can't wait to come back for some more sweets.

Ok, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place you will want to visit while you are visiting…read moreSanta's Village. I am sure the kids will not argue with you! We had waited in line outdoors for most of the time. It was quite cold and windy during the wait. One place I wish they had outdoor heaters . The house is decorated on the outside just like you would imagine a gingerbread house would be, cute, adorable and delicious looking. Once you walk into the house you will find some displays of familiar candies. Maybe something you may want to get the next time you are at your convenience or grocery store. Save room for the some of the beautiful and delightful dessert that are displayed behind the acrylic shield. And don't forget something warm to drink! The drink orders once made are handed out at the window on the side of the building. We ordered quite a bit, just wanting to try everything that looked and sounded delicious. My girls enjoyed the cinnamon rolls while the pretzel, and molasses cookie were my favorite. My girls agreed with me on the cookie as well. The grandkids enjoyed their cake pop. For hot drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and hot chai. For me, it was worth the wait. I would order more molasses cookie and an extra pretzel! The customer service was friendly despite the line of people that was coming through. Great job staff! I plan to stop by this house again the next time we come to Santa's Village.
