The coleslaw at a BBQ joint will tell you everything about how good the BBQ will be. One of the best coleslaws in my opinion I've ever had, not your typical, but was a hitter and don't get me started on the Jalapeño cream corn!!! Wow Such a nostalgic item that I've never seen at any restaurant. They took it to a whole new level. My mouths watering just thinking about it. I got too full with apps (tri tip sliders - also excellent) to get to a main entree. Will def be back. Talked with the owner at the bar and he's super knowledgeable on his BBQ. Friendly staff and welcoming environment. 10/10 read more

Everything was DELICIOUS we got sliders and brisket Mac n cheese I dint get a picture of the Mac because we demolished it! We will be returning to try the chili... apparently it is so good they ran out today! Just means we have to return sooner than later! Owners and staff are so nice and welcoming! read more

Steinerhaus BBQ - Two chicken slider and one brisket (minus the slaw). We don't like slaw. Side of potatoe salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

One of the best Bbq places I have been to. The baby back ribs are phenomenal. We try a new thing each time we go in and they are always coming up with new and creative items. Just had the brisket and shredded pork and our friends had the brisket with the tri-tip which we all shared they make their own custom barbecue sauces and sides. I would highly recommend this if you're ever up in the Big Bear area. read more

What a fantastic visit! Jason and Hunter were welcoming, kind, and genuinely attentive. They made me and my pet feel so comfortable their considerate approach made all the difference. They didn't just serve us; they made us feel like valued guests. The food was really good too. My brother and I ordered the carnivore appetizer with the large plate. Everything tasted great and was well-executed. The combination of exceptional service and quality food makes this a must-visit spot in Big Bear! If you're looking for a restaurant where you'll be treated well and fed even better, this is your place! read more

Great place and will definitely be back! read more

You can tell the business owner cares so much about giving his customers a great experience. The Beef Short Ribs were so good & the Chicken spicy Mac n Cheese was SOO GOOD it kinda tastes similar to chic fil a mac n cheese in a rlly good way. They put a sauce over it that resembles the chic fil a polynesian sauce in taste. They serve their plates with a bread and a homemade cinnamon butter cream. The workers were so friendly, brought us napkins, helped everyone kinda seating, & asked us if we were enjoying everything very frequently. From small talk to food service, we were given a 10/10 experience. read more

One of the best customer service experiences me and my wife had a long time! The food was superb especially the peach cobbler! We had to take a plate to go because none of that food is gonna go to waste. If you're ever in big Bear, this is a highly recommended stop we will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

Not sure what style BBQ this is, but a brisket served in long stringy cuts is not very appealing. Brisket spaghetti. BBQ sauce was lacking flavor, even the spicy one with horseradish didn't have that much flavor. Service was good! Maybe this is some people's style of BBQ, but I feel it wasn't that great. read more

Dinner tonight was OUTSTANDING Everything tonight was outstanding; Brisket Sliders; Spicy Horseradish Barbecue Sauce; Mac-n-Cheese; Peach Cobbler and Jason (Owner). Everything tonight was 10 out of 10; Barbeque was Perfect; Service was Excellent and Location is Outstanding with Dining, Bar and Patio. Definitely planning on coming back to eat my way through the rest of the menu. read more

This place is genuinely amazing. The food is outstanding all around, but I keep thinking about the ribs, coleslaw, and mac & cheese. I'm completely obsessed. Cute outdoor area! What really sets it apart, though, is the hospitality. Jason and his wife are so warm and welcoming, it makes the whole experience even better. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in town. read more

Kristen and Jason Steiner of Steinerhaus have decades of experience! Just opened this restaurant couple weeks ago. Old Country Inn will still be opened for breakfast and lunch from 8-1:30. Steinerhaus opens at three. Magnificent BBQ menu, which thrills my husband, but I love the vegetarian three bean chili. Hunter is our local Leonardo DiCaprio bartender! He, definitely will attract customers with his youthful, magnetic personality! Hope they do well, and the locals continue to support the BEST family in the Big Bear Valley, the Rojas Family! Hope the City of Big Bear Lake continues to use their magic to bring in visitors to keep the economy viable and bustling! read more

OK, I tried the baby back ribs W/Mac & cheese and you could taste the quality. The ribs were just perfect, tender, but not falling off the bone just the way I like them. Sauce was on the side perfect the way it should be. Honestly, the best baby back ribs I've ever had!!!! The service from everyone was fantastic. I would give this place 10 stars if I could keep up the great work, Jason& Kristen... oh ya Hunter throws down some awesome drinks!! We will be back!!! read more

Don't waste your money here. This place is nothing close to good Texas BBQ. The brisket was dry, tough and chewy. The ribs were dried out and had very little meat. The guy at the counter was arrogant. I was the only person there and the service was still slow. Very disappointing. read more

You know that scene in Ratatouille where Remy takes a bite of the cheese and strawberry and has that moment of fireworks and bliss? That was the experience we encountered at Steinerhaus! Their food is like a warm hug for your soul! Amazing food, warm and friendly owners and staff. 10000/10 recommend this place! I had the jalapeño creamed corn, red skin potato salad, smoked sausage, cornbread with honey butter, sweet roll with cinnamon butter. Husband had the tri-tip and Cole slaw. Everything here is great! Will be returning again very soon read more

Delightful! The mac was absolutely flippin phenomenal! The staff, outrageously hilarious I giggled in the sto!

We tried Stieinerhaus BBQ for the first time and we absolutely loved it. We found the atmosphere to be very relaxing. After we were seated, our server Hunter took over and was on top of everything. The food came out fairly quick and it tasted great! We had the Pulled Pork Sliders. We recommend Stieinerhaus BBQ to anyone looking for a great BBQ meal. We look forward returning again to try different dishes! read more

Wow, what a spectacular experience! Not just the surprisingly excellent food but the super friendly service. I will definitely be going back again and again and again!!!... read more

The service was EXCELLENT! The nicest people, always checking on us and chatty. The peach cobbler was the best. The bbq food was ok but we've had better. However, the staff made up for it. It's fairly new so we hope it does well and are thankful for our experience. read more

Serve me popcorn instead of bread when we are seated, and you have me hooked. We were greeted with such enthusiasm, I knew we were in for a great experience. The decor was so cozy. You know you are in Big Bear. Everyone is buzzing. No one is just standing around doing nothing. Our server, Blake, was so awesome. He had a short conversation with us, even though he was so busy. And the food! Oh, the food! My family loves BBQ, and it is one of the best BBQ dinners we have ever had. My son had the Brisket Mac n Cheese, and he practically ate with his eyes closed. I had a bite and admit that I stole a few more bites, no boxed stuff here. We ordered the Large platter with brisket, pulled pork, onion rings, apple sauce, and dinner rolls with cinnamon butter. The meats were so tender and juicy. While I am impartial towards brisket, the pulled pork was interesting in a great way. There was this aroma that stayed after you finished the bite that was so fragrant. I love Funyuns, and I felt like the onion rings were the fresh version but better. I generally do not eat dinner rolls, but I figured I needed something to go with the cinnamon butter. Yeah. I could have eaten the butter by the spoonful. The rolls were so soft and sooooo good. The rolls and butter were perfect. I also generally do not eat apple sauce, but it was a side. I could not resist, and I was not disappointed. The cinnamon in the apple sauce reminded me of my childhood. Steinerhaus will be a favorite place to go when we are up in Big Bear. read more

We've been here twice for lunch and the Brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese and coleslaw were amazing. Such a lovely outdoor patio to sit with a beer and watch the people meander by. What really sets this place apart - Jason and his wife. You're treated like family from the moment you arrive until it's time to go home with a full belly. An outstanding experience all the way around. We'll be back :) read more

By far the best baby back ribs we've ever had, as well as some of the best Mac and cheese, potato salad, and brisket we've had. Overall can't beat the quality of the food and the atmosphere as the owners are fantastic. They checked up on my wife and I throughout our meal and were very kind to us. Highly recommend! read more

Five big stars for the team at Steinerhouse. Jason, one of the owners gave us top notch service. Brisket was great. Vibes were great. Thank you. Will be coming back. read more

Excellent Bbq. Not being from this area we were quite confused where this place was. It is kind of like a food hall inside a large coffee place. We were greeted by Hunter and the great experience happened. He was very attentive and helped us order. We had the two item plate with brisket ,ribs,Mac n cheese and chili. The flavors were bursting in all item. Fall off the bone meat on the ribs. Hunter also made the best Texas Mule!! The ambiance was family friendly in fact families were playing cards and board games. Community style sitting. Hopefully one day they will get their own spot because this family owned bbq place deserves it. read more

Who cuts brisket with the grain? We ordered brisket and ribs with sides of chili and potato salad. Let's say the salad was the best. The brisket was cut WITH the grain. Who does this? It was cooked with salt but absolutely no smokey flavor expected from BBQ. The ribs were tough and also extremely salty. The chili, let's say I prefer canned chili to this. Definitely a skip. Bone Side Down- we miss you read more

Steinerhaus BBQ is absolutely next level. The chicken buffalo dip is phenomenal--perfectly creamy with just the right amount of heat, and honestly addictive. The ribs are unreal, literally fall off the bone and packed with deep, smoky flavor. The brisket is tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection with that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the pulled chicken is incredibly flavorful and done just right. Every single bite was bold, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they're doing here. Easily one of the best BBQ spots--already can't wait to go back. read more

I was walking by with my boyfriend and the music was a vibe 100% but we kept walking. We couldn't decide on where to eat so he said "come on we're going back to the bbq place with the music you like" so we came back and I'm so glad we did. The service was amazing and I'm pretty sure it was the owner doing all the work out front. He started to mention the beers they had and my boyfriend kindly let him know we don't drink because I'm a recovering alcoholic. At the end of the dinner we noticed he didn't charge for our drinks! Everything about this place was amazing. The music. The service. The food. The ambiance. We will 100"% be back because of the service. Thank you again! read more

We initially came here for a couple beers, got to meet the owner while he offered us some smoked samples. We decided to come back for dinner and tried the combo plate with 2 meats and 2 sides that included Hawaiian breads with cinnamon, butter, and sugar (must try), coleslaw was also amazing. Brisket and pork was phenomenal, would definitely recommend and would come back again! read more

Jason, the owner, was super cool!! and the brisket mac n cheese was super yum yum delish

BEST BBQ IN BIG BEAR. The portions are huge and the meat is perfectly done. We met the owner, Jason, and I can tell that he's very passionate about his craft and has his recipes dialed in.
