    Inside with Christmas Decor
    Ashley R.

    Stepping into this little mom-and-pop gem felt cozy, homey, and sprinkled with just the right amount of holiday cheer. The décor was festive without being over-the-top, making it a perfect little oasis for a midweek lunch escape. I popped in during a weekday lunch hour, and it was pleasantly calm only about four or five tables occupied with couples quietly enjoying their meals. My server was an absolute delight, full of recommendations and zero pressure, trust me, she did not steer me wrong. I went for the pastrami dip sandwich with grilled onions, sweet potato fries, and a side of homemade ranch. Let me just say... wow. The flavors in that sandwich were bold, savory, and perfectly balanced, while the dipping sauce was basically a love letter to my taste buds. The sweet potato fries were golden perfection, and paired with the homemade ranch? Chef's kiss. I've driven past this café countless times on work trips and finally deciding to stop was a stellar choice. If you happen to be in the area or just passing by I'd argue it would be a culinary crime to skip it. Cozy vibes, killer food, and a staff that makes you feel like a regular on your very first visit. 10/10, highly recommend, and I'm already plotting my next visit.

    Mountain Top Cafe has vegan hashbrowns and country potatoes. The potatoes were delightfully crispy. The employee at the counter was helpful and checked ingredients. The seating was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. A fourth of july display was set up at one end of the room. The menu is clear and easy to read. There is an accessible ramp to the entrance. Inside, the entrance has local flyers and business cards on a corkboard. The food and portions are classic diner style.

    We searched online to find somewhere to eat and this cafe had a lot of good reviews; both for the food and for the service. It felt very cozy inside and you wouldn't believe the kindness of the staff. We ordered the veggie wrap, club sandwich, the spaghetti with meat sauce, and the 4 piece fried chicken. They were not lying when they said homemade! Wow! Incredible tasting food. I'm bummed I forgot to take a picture of the spaghetti and also the fried chicken. My plate came out first and the veggie wrap was so good, I just started grubbing. This place is truly a gem and a rare find. Christina and Christian were both so sweet, so professional, and incredibly friendly; it felt like we were regulars. If you haven't been here, no matter how far you are, get your butt down there and give it a shot! And for the chef, a big chefs kiss.

    A beautiful and picturesque café in the midst of equally stunning landscape. Inside, it gives you the feeling of a cozy Christmas cabin. Not to mention the friendly service and delicious food. It's also worth mentioning that it's ideal for travelers and truck drivers because it has a huge parking lot.

    Easter decor.
    Lilly L.

    Super cute mom and pop cafe. Still decorated for Easter. Super cute decor and vibe. Friendly staff. We came for the French toast but we didn't know they stop serving breakfast at 1pm, we'll be back for that. We ordered the Frisco burger. It was yummy. A big burger on sourdough. The bread was a little too greasy for my taste, but nonetheless it was tasty. Will definitely have to come back to try breakfast. I gave it a solid four for the ambience and attentive staff. I was too busy looking around and taking pictures of the decor to take a picture of the food. lol

    Eggs Benedict

    Hands down the BEST French Toast & Eggs Benedict we've ever had!! The service was great (Christina our server was so sweet), the food was great! Needless to say we'll be back!

    Eggs and sausage that accompany French toast combo

    I was messing around on bing's "flyover" map feature and I came across this cafe. I sent it to my husband and he said we would be checking out this weekend. So today we went, I knew it was a small cozy place with homey vibes. They had Easter decorations and place had dim lighting. Very comfortable setting. I really liked that about it. Server came to our table right away. He got us menus and took our drink order. After that we placed our food orders. My husband got the French toast combo and I did a sausage breakfast burrito. Food came out fast and portions were a little bigger than I thought. Everything tasted well. Coffee could be stronger and the my serve Pepsi products here. A second server came out, female. She was so kind and asked us if everything was good. She checked in with us a few times. Once we paid, she came back to our table to collect our plates and we made small talk. She suggested other dishes for future visits (meatloaf, chilaquiles, taco night) and she also provided closing times. Super sweet lady. We will definitely be going back do lunch or dinner.

    Pastrami sandwich was delicious.
    Matt H.

    First time there and the service from a young man named Cristian was top notch!! Excellent service, excellent food and a great conversation. Will be a repeat customer.

    Senior Menu, huge and loaded Chorizo Burrito
    Teri G.

    We will never blast past again! From the moment we step inside, we are welcomed, comfortable, cozy, happy and served excellent food! Mtn Top Cafe is literally always a holiday. Decorated for Christmas until Valentine's, then Valentine's until Easter, and on and on! We're greeted by the host/ server, who was always there for anything. We felt totally welcome to hang out at our table for for a long while. My sister's eggs Benedict was just as she hoped for. My senior menu Chorizo Burrito was huge and loaded with plenty of great fresh salsa. Hubby's country style senior breakfast was excellent in every way. He commented that the bacon was really good. We promise to stop by again for a great meal and good times!

    Pulled pork sandwich
    Rony Q.

    I found this place because it was nearby our groups stop right before Phelan! The restaurant has plenty of parking spaces out next to it and it has a nice cabin feel. I came in really believing I would be ordering something from the breakfast menu, but the server recommended the pulled pork sandwich and I regret nothing. Don't be tricked by the picture but it was a massive sandwich and it very filling. Would definitely come again to order it if I'm passing by again.

But this time we arrived in the summer to wander around on foot in the warm mtn air. And we drove around looking at all cozy neighboring cottages, for thirsty and hungry for a lil snack and walked into Evergreen Cafe, which is the street it sits on. Ethan greeted us warmly, I ordered two iced tea and a tomatoe soup. And he refilled our iced tea, without asking, thank ya! All were yummy and exactly what we needed for a mid-summer day snack around town. There's also, a wrap around outdoor patio, so we'll bring our doggos next time for a proper vege burger sit-down meal. Hehe. This was our very first time wandering this downtown area, we never knew it existed and it was FUN, friendly, and very cozy. :) Thanks for the wonderful service Ethan.

I have…read morebeen here since the late 1970s and throughout the years have seen different menu changes, but the building has stayed relatively the same. My children like this place, my wife likes this place and obviously lots of other people do. My wife and I shared the poutine, and we had some chicken wings as an appetizer. She likes Guinness draft there and I had Sour Monkey Triple draft. The poutine was good and it was the first time my wife had tried it--she loved it. I thought there could have been a little bit more of the cheese curd, it was fried, but I know every place makes theirs a little different. The atmosphere is great; it reminds you of a cabin on the inside and of course you're in Wrightwood CA so it's a perfect mountain hangout. The tables are clean, the area swept up and a very inviting indoor environment as outdoor environment. This is a rustic environment, so don't expect four-star accommodation. Again, as I said, it is perfect for this area, and I would expect nothing less. The service was great, we had two or three different servers, and they were always polite, knew their menu well, and offered upgrades. Had a great conversation with this server and he had been coming up there for years himself before working there. His daughter and wife were outside, and he would periodically chat with them which made us feel like it was a great family environment. The menu is varied and they have some excellent hamburgers; I have had the patty melt in the past. There is something about being 5000 feet above sea level, having a cold drink, and hot food; it's amazing. If you happen to be up in the Wrightwood area stop by at this place you will not regret it the food is hot and tasty, the beer is cold and the service and ambience is excellent,

I'll admit, the initial smell reminded me a little of an old Las Vegas casino, but don't let that fool you. This is the only true sit-down restaurant in town, and if you're looking for a romantic dinner, this is the spot. We arrived right at opening, and the bar already had regulars enjoying their evening. We were seated in the main dining room, where it was just us, and another party of four. Kara, who greeted us, was bubbly, personable, and welcoming. Our server, Alicia, was equally wonderful. Both ladies were knowledgeable about the menu, quick with recommendations, and incredibly attentive. They had that sixth sense of knowing what we needed before we even had to ask. We ordered a nice variety to share: the tempura, seasonal fire-roasted artichoke, fried zucchini and squash, spinach salad, Malaysian shrimp, Pacific cod fish & chips, and the top sirloin steak. Honestly, we walked in with zero expectations, but this small-town steakhouse really delivered. The food was delicious, but the service stood out as truly top notch. Kara and Alicia made the experience memorable, and for that reason alone, we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.
