    Burnt pizza
    Julie B.

    WAY too expensive. For a mom and two kids to eat it was over $70. It took over 30 minutes. Staff was slow, inattentive and disorganized and the food sat dying in the window before anyone took the time to bring it to us. THIS IS ON A NOT BUSY WEDNESDAY, FOLKS!! By the time our food arrived, it was cold, and frankly, even if it had been hot it would have been mediocre at best. For the amount if money we spent just walking through the door, Santa's Village, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!!

    Carne asada tacos are great. Sammies are substantial size, Enough to split. Decent beverage can selection too. 2 thumbs up

    Horrible experience at this place! Ordered pizza for my two year old and it was burnt! He could not eat it! I did not want to take it back to the associates working because I had already complained about their drinks and the guy was already so rude to me! The drinks taste awful! The sprite tasted and smelled like what I assume is mold! Horrible! Be ware!

    This is the "main" restaurant at Skypark Santa's Village. We ordered right after they opened at 11 like all the other food places at the park. Food came out pretty fast and everything was tasty and better than expected for amusement park food! Plenty of outdoor (and indoor) seating and it was a nice scenic lunch.

    One of the few spots in Skypark Santas Village open during the week for food service. The park attractions are closed but you can still enter the park (no admission fee), walk around, shop and/or dine. Right off the bat this place was immaculate. From the overall dining area to the kitchen which you have a partial view of. It was all clean and in order as to be expected with an A+ rating. We had a few beers and took in the ambience from inside the building. One thing that stood out were the prices were actually very reasonable. The soup bowl are in actual bread bowls and the smells were incredible. They were also setting everything up for St Pattys day tomorrow and looks like the entire park was ramping up for the festivities. Look forward to coming back.

    I had a hamburger with French fries. It was excellent. It was as good of a hamburger as I have had anywhere. It was very crowded but we didn't have to wait very long.

    The Corvette and the Peanut Butter Malt!!!…read more If you're anywhere near the mountains, do yourself a favor and stop by Cedar Glen Malt Shop. This was hands down one of the best burgers and malts I've ever had. The burger was fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite tasted like it was made with care instead of rushed out of the kitchen. Then came the malt, thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect classic pairing with an already incredible burger. One of the coolest touches is how they name many of their burgers after classic cars. It's a fun, nostalgic theme that fits the old-school malt shop atmosphere and gives the menu a personality you don't see very often. Great food, friendly service, and a unique experience make this place well worth the drive. I'll definitely be coming back to work my way through the rest of those "car" burgers. Highly recommended!

    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

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.

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.

    Looking for a tasty brunch? C'mon in to Spade and Spatula! They have a wonderful Sunday brunch menu…read morewith all the traditional favorites, as well as some original offerings. Walking in yesterday, it was such a good-vibe, welcoming place. There was sunshine coming through the large windows and color all around. Our waitress was warm and welcoming as well as on top of our dining needs, even as it got busier. We 4, two of us being vegetarians, each found something delicious to enjoy. I got the BAT Omelette, which was generous with cheese, avocado, bacon, and as a delightful switch up, cherry and grape tomatoes. The presentation was a feast for the eyes, with its dainty and colorful flower petals on top. In fact, all dishes were beautifully presented. I ordered fruit instead of potatoes, which was enough to share. My mom found her bagel and lox delectable and a large enough portion to take 1/2 home. Friends found vegetarian enjoyment in the Goat omelette and the breakfast sammie. They were both well pleased with bellies full. All of us were happy brunchers ! As we dined, the place welcomed a steady stream of guests, both inside and out, which is furry best friend welcoming. So, on Sundays, come early. Great food, vibe, service....a perfect opportunity to break bread together when local or up the hill for a visit.

    Tasty sandwiches and burgers. All the ingredients are fresh. This is definitely a local favorite…read morespot. I had the blt (bacon lettuce tomato) sandwich. It was probably the best blt that I've ever had. The blt had bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and home made garlic aioli. I opted out of the jalapeño and mustard. All the ingredients were so fresh and the bread was good. People in my party had the blue cheese burger and cheeseburger. They said the burgers were made fresh and tasted good. Perfect cook temperature. The fries were surprisingly good. They had a lot of flavor. They were not soggy, greasy. Or potatoey. Kind of pricey for a sandwich shop, and they do not allow half sandwiches and I wish they did. Ultimately, I would eat here again as everything tasted good.

    I got a Kalua pork bowl and it was kind of tasty! Definitely very sweet and heavy on the marinade,…read morebut it paired well with rice and cole slaw. Service was VERY SLOW. I think it took 10 minutes to get water, 10 minutes to find someone to get our order in, and then 20-30 minutes until our food came out. Definitely a very slow paced restaurant - come if you're not in a hurry and in a chill mood. We actually came here because all the other restaurants we wanted to try had a 2+ hour long wait and Sunsets was only about 30 minutes. You can walk around the village while you wait, which helps a lot.

    I don't leave negative reviews lightly, but this was, without question, one of the worst restaurant…read moreexperiences our family has ever had. The evening started with our reservation being "lost." In hindsight, we should have taken that as our cue to leave. Instead, we stayed, and unfortunately everything went downhill from there. Service was painfully slow. It took approximately 45 minutes just to receive water, over an hour for our drinks, and nearly two hours before our food arrived. By the time dinner finally came, we were beyond hungry. The food was even more disappointing than the wait. The "grilled cheese" looked like it was made with individually wrapped processed American cheese slices--and somehow, after nearly two hours, the cheese wasn't even melted. I ordered the branzino expecting a delicate, flaky white fish with lemon. Instead, it arrived so overcooked and dry that lifting it with a fork brought up the entire fish in one piece. It had the texture of fish jerky. The zucchini alongside it was cold and had the unmistakable texture of previously frozen vegetables. My son ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. They were bland, dry, and overcooked. He's the least picky eater in our family and wouldn't eat them. Ironically, the only edible dish on the table was my husband's Huli Huli chicken--which the rest of us ended up sharing because we'd waited so long and were starving. Our server was kind, but we saw her only a handful of times during what became a two-and-a-half-hour dinner. To make matters worse, I woke up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach after eating only a couple bites of the fish. Given our experience, I genuinely struggle to reconcile it with so many glowing reviews. Save yourself the time, the money, and the frustration. There are far better places to spend an evening.

When we arrived we wanted to move seats due to very loud music from the live band as we were seated right infront of the band and noticed there were several tables with " reserved " signs and the host said -we could not be seated there. What happened to " no reservations allowed" ? The service is spotty and the ambiance missed the mark in several areas. Plastic forks , spoons , knives. Difficult to cut the ribs with a plastic knife. When asked for a real knife- we were asked to reuse a knife that was as dirty and was being taken back to be washed. The worst part of the experience was looking up from my table and seeing a decorative guitar sporting a confederate flag. A couple of things I did like were: the live music. The musicians were great - except the music was so loud -that no one in the main room was able to hear each other speak. The bake potato size is impressive and the Dolly Parton door / decor. The guy helping the waitress bring out drinks from the bar -he was attentive and helpful.

Our waiter could not have been nicer. I wish I could remember his name. He was so kind and eager to make our visit a good one. We started with the deep fried mushrooms which were good, but a little too heavily battered for my taste. They came with 2 dipping sauces, a spicy aoli style and an Asian chili sauce (sweet). I had the grilled salmon with lemon caper sauce. It came with your choice of 2 sides. I got the fully loaded baked potato and steamed vegetables. My meal was delicious and a large serving that I could not finish. Good value at $24. My husband got the ribeye with herb roasted potatoes and a salad. The salad was large and fresh with plenty of carrots and tomatoes. The herb roasted potatoes were delicious, but I would definitely get the fully loaded baked potato again. My husband said his ribeye was delicious and cooked exactly as he asked (medium). I had a martini which was a generous pour and the bartender even hand-stuffed some olives with blue cheese for me which was really kind as the bar was quite busy. The atmosphere was great - filled with people enjoying themselves dining, talking, and laughing. Restrooms were spacious and clean. My only complaint was that the seats were hard wood.
