“A hidden gem! Tucked away behind the Big Bear Elks Lodge is a little walk up window serving some big flavors! House smoked meats, charbroiled burgers, there’s something for everyone. One of the best kept secrets of the big bear valley. Service is pleasant, the atmosphere is a whole vintage vibe, and the prices are very fair considering the quality and care given.“
“Amazing, attentive service and ambiance; loved being next to the airport! The chilaquiles were amazing and we will be back next time for them. The portion was great. The banana pecan pancakes were good too, but the chilaquiles were our main highlight. Will be back!“
“This is hands down my favorite restaurant and BURGER in Big Bear! Cash only, in an effort to keep prices low, and boy are the prices a steal! Their specialties are burgers and sandwiches, and they have fantastic homemade sides including potato salad, macaroni salad, and a balsamic coleslaw. You can get beer / wine for ~$3/4 per glass, and pitchers offered as well!It’s family owned and run, the waitress & cook are the owners, I believe! It does have limited indoor seating, but they turn over tables quickly, and there’s lots of room for outdoor seating in summer / if you have your warn gear on in the winter.The building is old, and the seating is picnic table style, so there is some aging. The decor is hilarious vintage Big Bear in the best of ways, a legitimate version of what an Applebee’s tries for. Families welcome.To combat an early review on the cleanliness… 1. I’ve been here many times and I was not aware they even severed French fries? Never mind how “greasy” they are. Also, you’re mad that food that had been deep fried is greasy? Hmm… 2. I’ve seen into this kitchen many times (anyone can from the dining room) and while it’s not aesthetically pretty, it’s clean. I’ve worked in many kitchens, and it meets the standards.3. A bathroom is not a kitchen. They don’t cook in the bathroom. Complaint noted, but did you tell the staff or just troll about it on the internet?Parking: Shared a parking lot with a few businesses including the Market, but street parking nearby if full (which is rare).“
“I float in the air like a cartoon character smelling a pie when the savory scent of Fire Rock's food embraces my nostrils. Best burger I've ever had.. I've gone here twice now and it's heaven on earth. The servers are nice and the chefs make all the food perfectly. Dude the music is amazing and the place itself is like the perfect environment. Both times I've gotten the freak on a leash and genuinely if I were on death row and had to choose my last meal, I'd choose that. If I had to pick between narwhals going extinct or this place going out of business, let's just say that narwhal lovers won't be happy about my choice. I'd die for this place. The freak on a leash burger is like the mana from heaven from the Old Testament. The fries are seasoned just right like Goldilocks would approve and they're crisp but soft and the perfect size. The layering in the burger is perfect.. best amount of everything and the way it's stacked and the BUN!! Oh my goodness gracious great balls of fire! Literally like the best place ever. I'd eat here everyday if I could. You know what? I'd become Elon musk status rich just so I could give all my money to Fire Rock Burgers & Beer. In conclusion, I know I'd never love any burger more. - #1 fan“
“Family style restaurant?. Omar the server for the night, was excellent. Was empty when I walked in and filled up by the time I left. Mind you Omar was a on top of it ? I had ½ a rack of ribs, with 2 side, mac & cheese and fried pickles, Delicious with a blond beer.“
“We had a great time at Nottinghams restaurant in Big Bear. The food was great and our server was wonderful ?❤ she even brought or son dessert for his birthday ? we really appreciated her kindness ?We will definitely be coming back again!!!“
“I usually never feel the need to write reviews about places but this place is phenomenal the workers are so nice and considerate the owner came and talked to us about the story of the restaurant (honestly so inspiring). And as a celiac they do lettuce wrap and offer gluten free buns! I definitely recommend getting the jalapeño ranch and the fry sauce truly mind blowing. If you are in big bear this is a must try!“
