    Annie's omelet and hashbrowns
    Jaydee D.

    5.24.26 We always hit up lumberjack every memorial day weekend to make sure to get the cornbeef hash... so delicous and that crunchy hash browns hit the spot everytime! At 8:00am no need for long lines in waiting and parking which they recently repaved. Our host is super sweet & friendly, too. And they always do refill coffee, water, and whatever your choice of beverage. Today, instead of cornbeef hash, I got Annie's omelet, and the sausage is not the little ones that are pork links, but kind of like polish sausage style ones. Super yum and subbing bell peppers for mushroom. Anyway, I am hoping that they never change the menus. Also, the restroom has also been redone too. Super awesome cozy and seats enough and ample areas outside that seats up to 4-6ppl and whom may have dog-friendly seating. Definitely be back again! Thanks guys, keep it up!

    Hoss. It never disappoints. 3 eggs, hash browns, sourdough toast and a big hamburger patty.

    Love this place for breakfast. Had the Hoss. It never disappoints. 3 eggs, hash browns, sourdough toast and a big hamburger patty. Wifey had the lil Joe, one egg, bacon, hash browns and 1/2 of a sourdough waffle. Sourdough waffles are amazing. Service is amazing. They're all very nice and attentive. If it's the weekend prepare to wait for a seat and parking is limited and can be a challenge. Just keep circling.

    Service is slooooowww, but the large plate size and flavor made my hangry man baby quite content. The sourdough pancake was delicious, and my basic scrambled eggs and side of avo were good (red salsa is AMAZING), but the chefs kiss was my hubby's "chainsaw and eggs" plate. He has commented at least ten times how much he liked it. Whew, he was hangry so crisis adverted! Service though, very very slow. We had to get up to go get coffee or napkins, but no biggie.

    Last girls trip to Big Bear, and my friend raved about the green chilaquiles breakfast from Lumberjack Cafe, so we rolled out of bed early on Saturday and rolled into the cafe at 9:00 am. I spotted corned beef hash on the menu and you know me I couldn't resist! Corned beef hash can be a gamble but this one was a slam dunk with crispy edges, tender center and entirely delicious. My eggs over easy were a tad runny but the hash more than redeemed them. But the real showstopper? The green chilaquiles. The salsa was... unexplainably magical. Bright, zingy, and just different enough to make you wonder if they bottled this stuff in fairy dust. I wish they sold the sauce separately so I could bring a jar home and pretend I made a chef's kiss at home. By the time we finished eating, the restaurant was packed and people were waiting for tables proof that great breakfast travel far and fast. Bottom line: I'd drive back to Big Bear just to eat here again. Breakfast is my jam, and Lumberjack Cafe is now my jam's new best friend. Would I recommend? Absolutely! If you love a solid breakfast lineup, a surprising salsa, and crispy hash, Lumberjack Cafe is your spot.

    We came in on a Sunday morning around 10, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. It's very small inside. This place needs better customer service, one of the girls sat us at our table and literally just dumped the utensils and menus on our table without saying a word. Our waitress was great tho, she was very lovely and accommodating, actually communicated with us. The food was good, 8/10 The eggs and hash brown were my fave, they were very buttery (not so healthy I guess) My son got the breakfast burrito and it was huge, he really liked it, but was only able to eat half.

I returned this summer and let me say that they make a fantastic cup of coffee! This is a very cool, independent coffee shop where locals and tourists like me congregate. From the friendly folks behind the counter to the variety of comfortable seating options, this spot is a welcoming place to sip, eat, hang, play a game, or watch a Bob Ross episode. I'm kind of a coffee purist and really enjoyed their dark roast drip which was rich, dark, and smooth. The do have a full menu of hot and cold drink options which all looked just a tasty. On one of my visits, I ordered their Moonridge Breakfast Sandwich, without cheese. It was delicious and well constructed, with toasted sourdough, thick bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato, some red onion, and a very yummy garlic aoli. They offer packets of hot sauce and other condiments for folks like me who want a bit of heat. I'm not a big pastry person, but their pasty case look really good with a wide variety of options. There are lots of coffee options in Big Bear and I've tried a few. I'll stick with Moonridge Coffee Company for a great cup of coffee and meal. I highly recommend this location and will return.

The shop is veteran owned with lots of coffee enthusiasm marketed. The classic coffees are available, nothing out of the ordinary. They have matcha, teas, and beers as well. I got the caramel machiatto which was very milky IMO but decent. I ordered the avocado toast and moonridge club sandwich because some items weren't available after 11 am. The avocado toast was elevated with tomato and arugula (I think) and a citrus hint. The sandwich was probably the most enticing to me on their, what seems like, summer menu. It came with options between potato salad or chips.

    There's a magical little place in Big Bear called Dank Donuts…read more And when I say magical, I mean it. Not only is it in the most beautiful location, but they're serving gluten-free DONUTS, GF breakfast burritos, AND doggie donuts. A whole inclusive menu. Which means when we're in town, we're frequenting daily. And my little one is gonna do a whole dance about it. Donut places are the number one place they get left out of. So finding a gluten-free donut? That's not just a treat. That's an extra special, "wait, this is for ME?" kind of moment. And for me? This may have been the first cronut I've ever had...but it was not the last. 10/10. I eat it every time I go. If you're in or around Big Bear anytime soon, make sure to stop by for a breakfast you won't regret. And the owner, who has celiac, also has a fire restaurant down the street with a whole gluten-free menu. This place kills it on the views, the menu, the food, and the totally awesome outdoor space to hang with the fam on a slow mountain morning. You won't want to miss it. TL;DR: Gluten-free donuts. GF breakfast burritos. Doggie donuts. Inclusive menu. Beautiful location. 10/10 cronut. Owner with celiac. Go here. Then go to their sister restaurant down the street. You're welcome.

I've tried a strawberry donut the first time in the fall. Most everything was sold out by the time we went. It was just ok, didn't taste like really strawberry, more artificial. This time in the summer we went since they still have the pineapple fritters. It's huge!! Was not expecting it to be that size so we split it. Again, it was ok. Didn't have a lot of pineapple so just tasted like fried dough. I wish it had more pineapple flavors. So it's ok. Probably won't be back for donuts but may try sandwiches next time. SYOY!

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.

She even gave us scads of recommendations for other local places to try and things to do. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan with a side house salad while I got the scallop fettuccine dish and splurged the $3 extra to get their Caesar salad (totally worth it, made in house). Everything is made to order and each dinner came with a board of homemade bread and house made butter for the table. Folks. That bread. Was So Good. Soft and tasty and the parmesan, garlic, parsley butter melted right on it. There was something that didn't hit my palate right on my dish, so Patty offered to get me something else.
