Delicious but expensive!…read more I got a single cinnamon roll and an iced tea- the roll was awesome and I was really excited about it, but those 2 items came out to $13.50 before tip. High even for a vacation town. I probably won't come back. Too bad it was a great cinnamon roll but not worth that price tag. I didn't ask the price beforehand though, so live and learn. Outside the road is very load but the patio is great. Inside was a cute diner, but I sat outside.

We started with guacamole, chips and salsa. Wifey had a mimosa and I had Lagunitas IPA…read more Then Wifey had the 3 mini tacos, carne asada, al pastor and carnitas. I had shrimp aqua chile. So good. I thought the presentation on the aqua chile was beautiful. Service was friendly and we were checked on often but for some reason our main meal came out 45 minutes after our appetizers arrived. We weren't in a hurry but still strange that several folks who came in after us had actually finished their meal before we got ours. Oh well. Stuff happens.

Needed 3 bottles of drinks to help consume my meal. - Super crowded. - Limited shade for outdoor seating. - The outdoor chairs have a back-tilt seat, so it's hard to comfortably lean forward to eat your food on the table. The restrooms and lockers are located right underneath the restaurant (B1F). The bus stop & parking lot are located behind the restaurant.

Strange and unwelcoming experience, and such a bummer with otherwise really friendly and helpful Snow Summit folks working the shuttles, ticket purchase lines, and lifts.

We were super excited to eat here and showed up about 10 minutes before closing to pick up an order…read moreto go. There were still people inside ordering food and picking up their orders and finishing their meals when the woman who owns the restaurant hobbled over on a crutch, looked at me in the face and locked. The door didn't acknowledge my presence. I pulled on the door as she was locking it, and she continued to walk away. I followed her. She flipped the closed sign. I walked through the gate. She talked to another patron that was inside finishing their meal and then she proceeded to lock another door and then I knocked on the window and she looked at me and said we're closed and I said it's not 6 o'clock yet and she looked at me and said "oh well now". The interesting thing was we weren't the only people who showed up later to eat we were the first of 3 additional parties looking to pay for the food at get the burger. I was under the impression that in think that in California you couldn't lock your doors whenever you felt like it. The gentleman who came outside who was eating his food said well she just does that. I hope people read this and I hope that get the burger sees some impact from this because that's not how you treat customers.

We ordered our food and drinks at the outside bar and grabbed a number to our seats. The food and drinks came out quick which was nice. We got the Fire burger, chicken strips, extra red ale, and nut brown ale. We ordered the burger medium rare but it got to us probably more medium. It was very tender and tasty nevertheless with great caramelized onions. Chicken strips were decent. Looking forward to another chill, relaxing night.

I was extremely disappointed and honestly disgusted by what occurred during our visit and, even…read moremore so, by the lack of response from the staff after it was reported. To be clear, I have absolutely no issue with restaurants allowing dogs in designated outdoor patio areas. That is completely different from what happened here. A customer brought her dog inside the women's restroom, pulled out a dog pad, placed it on the restroom floor, and allowed the dog to relieve itself inside a shared customer restroom. I had to literally shimmy past the woman and her dog to get out of the restroom while my mother-in-law was still inside. I immediately reported what was actively occurring to approximately five employees who were gathered together at the bar inside the restaurant. Instead of anyone going to address the situation, they simply stood there. No one appeared to take any action while the woman and dog were still in the restroom. After seeing that nothing was being done, I had to approach the employees a second time. Only then was I told they would "have to tell our boss." At that point, my mother-in-law was still inside the restroom, which made the complete lack of urgency even more frustrating. My concern is not simply that a dog was inside the restaurant. There is a major difference between being pet-friendly and allowing someone to intentionally use a dog pad so their dog can relieve itself inside a customer restroom. That is an extremely unsanitary situation, particularly in a food-service establishment. What made the experience unacceptable was that multiple employees were made aware of the situation while it was actively occurring and still did not immediately address it. Customers should not have to repeatedly ask restaurant staff to intervene when something this obviously inappropriate and unsanitary is happening in a shared restroom. Management needs to seriously review both its policies regarding animals inside the establishment and how employees are expected to respond when customers report sanitation concerns. Being dog-friendly is one thing. Allowing a restroom to be used this way and then showing virtually no urgency when it is reported is something entirely different.

Being my first time I like to gauge the staff/table ratio ti get an idea on wait time for service. While waiting for my friend, I noticed a large table off to the side having drinks and playing a card game. I was impressed seeing that they were consistently getting rounded on by their server. Finding out this was a family run small business made this even more impressive as it was a full house. Additionally, it felt like the entire bar was excitedly watching the FIFA game, which was surprising because the difference in noise level from the outside of the building was significant. From the bar perspective, the bartenders were so kind (A), provided short/sweet conversation and excellent recommendations (A+), AND gave us time to look over the menu without being pushy (A++). I tried the lavender buzz and the oso espresso martini, my girlfriend had a lavender lemonade seltzer both being DELICIOUS. We Comfortable chairs, bathrooms and business were clean, and water is available at any time by the door with a self serve station. Overall, great spot, amazing staff, great variety of beers and seltzers, the pizzas are killer, the nachos were perfect, cocktails were a hit, great space for watching a game or hosting a group apparently, and even better for a date night! Stoked to have a place like The Bear Trap in Big Bear. Already planning our next trip.
