The wife and I walked by here frequently as we're getting our steps in around the village. This…read moretime we had the grandkids with us and we were on a mission for ice cream. When we stopped in the line was extremely long, which is great for the local businesses. The store has three unique sections. Ice cream, candy, chocolate, gummy, worms, etc., and caramel apples. I'm not sure if the employee was happy with us, but we ordered from every section. It almost seemed like he wanted us to go back and get in line to order from a new section but we didn't. I had peanut butter and chocolate on a cake cone that was outstanding. The wife had chocolate chip on a sugar cone and she also enjoy it. The grandkids had a variety of different flavors and I have to assume they enjoyed it because there was none left. The daughter ordered a caramel apple with some topping on it that she thoroughly enjoyed. She also ordered an extra one that was sliced that she shared with all of us. It had caramel and nuts on it. Very tasty. We also ordered different chili, flavored gummy worms and gummy rings. The grandkids thoroughly enjoyed. In addition, had to try out the chocolates. Had the dark chocolate haystack wasn't too impressed with it. Had a couple of dark chocolate cashew clusters. The wife said they were very good. The three employees that were working behind the counter we're doing a great job keeping the line moving. They also offer a discount if you eat at saucy mamas beforehand and bring your receipt. If you're visiting the village and get a sweet tooth this is a great place to stop.

I haven't had real ice cream in a while so this was refreshing. When you walk in it's full on…read morechocolate fudge covered & infused items. The ice cream is in the back, so you can browse and order chocolate while you wait in line. The ice cream is by Dreyer's with quite a few options during the summer. A lot of them were traditional flavors but there's a good mix of different and new concoctions like coconut pineapple, banana cream, and peaches and cream. I got the strawberry cheesecake, but it didn't have strawberry chunks or much strawberry flavor, and chocolate peanut butter. The chocolate is overpowering unless you get a good chunk of peanut butter. Overall, it's a good place to catch a treat.

I wish the location was closer to home as we were just visiting during vacation, I would totally buy more jerky and coffee from here!

But I'm really glad we trusted our gut, because our experience couldn't have been more positive. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and treated with kindness and respect. The person working was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about all the products, and offered us samples of anything we were curious about. We felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated as customers. Now, the snacks absolutely incredible. The beef jerky was packed with flavor and so fresh, easily some of the best we've ever had. We also picked up corn nuts that were super flavorful and crunchy, chocolate-covered peanuts that were perfectly sweet, chamoy gummy worms with just the right balance of sweet and spicy, and butter toffee peanuts that were rich and addicting. Everything we tried was top-tier. We left happy, with bags full of treats and zero regrets. It's unfortunate that others may have had a different experience in the past, but ours was truly excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I saw everything from beef, turkey, salmon, wild boar, lamb, elk, venison, buffalo, alligator, ostrich, python, snapping turtle, and camel! There's probably more that I can't remember, but those were the main ones I can recall. My partner and I really wanted to try the ostrich, so that's all we got. It tasted similar to a peppered beef but just a little tough. Prices reasonable but some items are priced a little higher than expected. Still intrigued by the variety of meats, BUT I personally didn't see any jerky that was made locally. The ostrich was imported from Indiana. The jerky was still good, though, but I would have loved if "House Of Jerky" had at least some of their jerky made in-house.

I didn't buy anything, although the prices were reasonable considering the location. Reading other reviews a lot of other customers were uncomfortable as well. It seems like there are too many stores in Big Bear that obviously have that as an ongoing situation. It's too bad there's so much theft going on or so much distrust. Not sure which but I hope they resolve it. Although I was greeted with a hello, how are you?

When I went to pay, they attempted to charge more than the displayed price. When I inquired, the initial employee was going to honor the price tag. A reasonable thing to do. After seeking the manager for approval, she declined to honor the tagged price. She said the other gloves were marked with the higher price, essentially acknowledging the error in their tagging of their merchandise. Considering I don't work there and didn't price tag their merchandise, it was really confusing why that was relevant. Also, this all begs the question of how many times they do this to their patrons? Is it company policy to price an item one thing and overcharge by 33% and hope no one notices? Just honor the price tag. Not difficult. You did it, not me. I'm a paying customer, who is in town regularly enough. I hope the $5 was worth it. You clearly needed it more than me. Bums.
