“Immediately greeted with kindness and a contagious enthusiasm upon entering. We got the Malibu bowls (1 spicy and 1 sweet and spicy) and the Ensenada Chata. 10/10 would recommend. The passion is abundant here. It's a must stop for sure.“

“Best karaoke bar in So Cal! Come for a beer and you'll be here until 2am... can't explain how it happens, but inevitably that's what happens. No regrets, just good times all around. It's a local dive with surprisingly good food and cheap drinks.. 13/10 would recommend“

“We went to another place with "Fire" in its name, and we found the service so unfriendly that we left. Then, we walked over to Barrel 33, and all was good in the world afterward. Dan, the bartender/cook/server, was super welcoming and friendly. The beer selection was top-notch, and the food was yummy. The vibe in Barrel 33 was very positive, and I look forward to hanging out there again. And hopefully, Dan will be working!“

“During our family trip to Big Bear, we stumbled upon Azteca Mexican Restaurant and were thoroughly impressed by not only the food but the exceptional service tailored especially for families. It's a gem that deserves every bit of praise.The menu itself is simple, but really good with lots of what seems to be hand made chips, tortilla's, and salsa, offering everything from sizzling fajitas to authentic relleno dishes. Our server, noticing our children's curiosity about the dishes, even brought out a small bean dip with cheese for them to try, which was a hit!What set Azteca apart was the staff's genuine effort to engage with us. One of the waiters flagged us down as we pulled into the parking lot, and made sure we didn't leave just because there was no parking. This attentiveness extended to their food preparation as well; they were happy to adjust spice levels and accommodate allergies, ensuring everyone at the table had a wonderful dining experience.In conclusion, Azteca Mexican Restaurant is a must-visit for families traveling to Big Bear. The combination of delicious, authentic Mexican food and the staff's attentiveness to families—especially those with young children—makes for an unforgettable dining experience. It's clear that Aztec isn't just about serving great food; it's about creating a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere where every member, no matter how small, feels special.“

“typical bait and switch. It runs rampant in Big Bear not just at this establishment. Nobody knows how to update their websites so when you go to their restaurant expect their prices to be three to five dollars more per item. please update you prices.“

“Moonridge Coffee was such an awesome find! I got the April Latte and Peanut butter toffee bar and they both were yummo! All I wanted to do was stay here all day, by the fire, reading a book! We will definitely be back! Shoutout to Christine the cutest barista! #supportlocal #moonridgecoffee #bigbear“

“Best stop and sandwich in downtown Big Bear. The food is awesome and the folks that work here make you feel at home. It’s a cozy escape if you’re looking for quality food and quality comfort. Ditch the busy restaurants that serve mediocre food and come to this spot if you’re wanting food that is worthwhile!“

“We came back for a second time to try the pizza. Amazing margarita pizza with artichoke hearts. The crust was outstanding! They do not skimp on toppings that’s for sure. Our new favorite Italian food restaurant in Big Bear. Highly recommend!“

“We sat at the bar. Our bartender Victor was very busy fulfilling all the drinks for the restaurant and he still was very attentive and went above and beyond. Victor’s support staff was also on point, checking in on us regularly. On top of the great service the southwest salad, combo fajitas and Cadillac margaritas were amazing! Definitely coming back!!“

“The food is superb! I had the salmon dish there and I kept saying "wow" after every bite. My wife had fajitas and the chicken tasted excellent! First night in Big Bear and Gaby's cuisine did not disappoint!!! Just get there already and try her food.“

“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!“

“Our family of 4 enjoyed a nice lunch here. Service was friendly and food was served quickly. We were treated to an extra side of their delicious homemade hot sauce. We enjoyed chicken Tikka, Tikka masala, saag paneer, lamb momo, and 2 mango lassis, with naan and rice. It fed us all very well with extra to take home. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“Great food. Was there with 6 of 5 one was a toddler. Ordered the brisket x2, ribs, chicken, dinner salad added chicken, jalapeño cheddee sausage, mac & cheese x2, gumbo x2 jambalaya, parmesan steak fries, jalapeño fritters. Everything tasted great. The mac & cheese tasted like one was from the middle of the pan, and the other was from the side. It's not bad but 6 difference in texture. Only criticism would be to stir Mac more often. The service was great. Music was blues and helped blend the environment. Wish I would have gotten some photos as the staff said it was a work in progress.“

“I love this place. Early morning breakfast in the village is peaceful and charming. We walked in, and there was only one other person. We grabbed a window seat and git to unwind. I had the coffee, which was great, and my daughter had the salmon and eggs. Which was also great.I highly recommend this place. But be warned. It's in downtown Big Bear. During the weekend, it's a high traffic/high tourist area. You may have to wait.“

“What a great night! My family and I have eaten here a few times over the last 30 years. This was our best visit yet! Food was great! Service was great! The vibe was great! It ain’t cheap but it absolutely did not disappoint and was worth every penny. A special thank you to Harmony who was our waiter. She was off the hook! It started right as we walked in the door. The hostess was funny and engaging. The manager took our jackets and was funny and happy. Then 90 mins of great food and attentive service from Harmony and her crew of support staff. Everyone was super engaging, nice, friendly and a joy to be with. You made our visit to Big Bear memorable!“

“Incredible tea, and insanely good gelato! My partner and I visited this shop twice during our very short stay, and the tea was absolutely incredible. We tried their Thai Tea with boba, and a few different hot teas, and all of them were exceptional.If it's snowing outside, then this is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys tea. If it's hot out, then be sure to stop by for the gelato. I don't really typically enjoy Gelato, but they had some really inspired and amazing flavors (we taste tested a few while we waited for our teas). Honestly, get some of this even if it's not hot out!The people who work here are extremely friendly as well. All in all it's just a really great experience to drop by. It's worth noting that this is the only place in Big Bear we stopped by *twice* at during our visit.“

“Dank is a great place to get doughnuts! We love that they have vegan options. Their doughnuts and pastries always taste so fresh. I can be picky when it comes to doughnuts. I don't like to taste oil that may have been reused. I have only had great doughnuts at Dank and their staff is very friendly.“

“I walked into the bakery this morning. The first thing that hit me was the tantalizing aroma of baked goods. The presentation and ambiance were very inviting and cozy. It took a few moments for the attendant to come out. She came across rather staccato. I ordered a piece of lemon-blueberry cheesecake. Presentation was great. Taste wise...it wasn't the worst...but it also wasn't the best.“

“Dropped by around 7:30 on a Saturday night and was able to snag a couple of stools at the bar. Ordered a few delicious beers, as well as a couple cubano sandwiches and hot wings. The hot wings were pretty spicy (6/10) with quality (10/10). They were meaty and delicious! The fries were delish and the cubanos were decent and very meat-filled! My husband wished that they had a bigger variety of beers on tap, but several were sold out by the time we got here. (But that's our fault because we got here after the ski/snowboard crowd.)The live music was a huge plus. The Boswell Project rocked our requests! This place seems VERY family friendly, which was greatly appreciated by the patrons! We will be returning.“

“Amazing vegan options. The plant power crepe was the perfect savory compliment to the sweet crepes. Great coffee too. On Sundays the wait was incredibly long. Wear layers and bring a buddy to chat with. Definitely worth the wait. Incredible service. We ate out for most meals during our 4 days in Big Bear, and this was our favorite restaurant. Hands down the best breakfast and great for allergies/food sensitivity“

“Wow! Such a wonderful addition to Big Bear! The food is absolutely delicious! We had the Sea Bass and the Chicken Jakobes, prime rib vegetable soup, crème brûlée and lemon cake. Such a nice experience. This old building has been very nicely remodeled. I loved the cozy atmosphere. I never leave Yelp Reviews but just had to for this outstanding restaurant. Very kind waitress, also. Thank you, Yesenia! Highly recommend.“

“Great food and great service I love the place and friendly staff. Food is good and not processed food this is made with love and real food will come back and great price too ? oh and best blueberry pancakes ? ever!! yummy ??.Parking: N/AKid-friendliness: N/AWheelchair accessibility: N/A“

“The customer service here is next level. Tanya is one of the nicest people I have ever talked to in a restaurant. She was extremely welcoming, gave us some of her favorites for food, and continued to check on us throughout our meal to make sure we were satisfied. The other girls working (Alicia, Susie, and Kat) were great as well. The guys behind the bar were friendly and had some great recommendations as well. There wasn't a live band but they played great music. I would love to check it out again when there is a band and dancing. We had the smokehouse pizza, cheeseburgers, the tri tip, fried pickles, and stuffed jalapeños. The food was good!“

“Excellent Sandwich & Bagel House. The freshly made homemade bread is absolutely amazing. I've lived in Big Bear for 9 years and just tried this place. I'm sorry I waited so long. The menu is excellent but it is on the pricey side however it's worth every penny. Two sandwiches which included a side of your choice and two fountain drinks plus tip was $46.00. They do take credit/debit. I can't wait to go back!“

“My brother and I got breakfast at this little spot in Big Bear City and oh my gosh it was so much food. These days it's hard to find places that will give you great portions especially in Big Bear. The only other place that goes large portions for Breakfast Food is Grizzly Manor Cafe in Big Bear Lake.My brother ordered the Chorizo Breakfast burrito ? and that was one giant burrito. He couldn't finish it!?I ordered the Lumberjack Benedict which is basically Biscuits And Gravy with Ham, Cheese and Eggs. It was delicious. I barely finished it. ?I'd recommend this place if you want a big fulfilling breakfast with good traditional coffee ☕☕☕“

“Don't let the unassuming look fool you. This place is fantastic! Jasmin and Minerva provided great service. View of lake is nice. I think I found my new spot in Big Bear for Mexican food. Sorry Jacalito....we're on to better things!!“

“Amazing customer service. Great drink selections. And they're accommodating to Gluten Free customers. My wife and 2 boys are GF and they happily made substitutions for us. It doesn't always work out for my family with that, so that was extremely appreciated. P.s. we got the seared ahi sandwich and it was amazing wish I could've taken a picture before but it was so bomb“

“During the Great storm of 2024 atop big bear mtn. We fought hard and long for a place to rest our weary cold and hungry bodies. After minutes of fighting through snow, people and cars to find a parking spot, we look up. There it was... THE BONE YARD BAR AND GRILL. In all of its glory. Our lives were saved. The corn bread goes hard. Ngl.“

“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“

“The atmosphere is clean and very basic. The service is always kind and friendly. They have great iced tea and their food comes out fast. I like their hard shell tacos the most and I get the shells crispy. My go-to spot for lunch when I know I have a half hour (or so) to spare.“

“The food was huge - I only ate 3/4 of my meatball sub & I am a card-carrying member of the clean plate club! My daughter really liked her GF club sandwich - she only ate half of it (most GF bread is tiny - this was not).Dietary restrictions: They were well-versed in gluten-free options.“

“Went there last night for my husbands birthday dinner. We weren't very hungry because we had a pretty big lunch at Saucy Mama's. Service was excellent, atmosphere was so nice, no loud music and low lighting made it feel fancy. We got the Onion Straws, Steak Tacos, House Salad and Mango Margarita, all of it was really good. We will be back on our next Big Bear visit. Thanks Oakside for a great dinner experience.“

“Very friendly staff, very family friendly. Also very accommodating to food allergies thanks to having a real in-house chef preparing everything fresh. This is a favorite spot of mine for Big Bear Lake.. Recommend the tacos, and my son loves the burritos.The shrimp is their specialty.My wife loves the chicken taquitos.“

“Came to thelma's for the first time ever on a Saturday night before closing. We had a lovely server named Brett, he is a king. He made our night. The restaurant was so cozy and welcoming. Both my friend and I were in bad mood that night, but boy did our frowns turn into smiles real quick! I had the tuna melt, my friend had a burger. We both agreed it was the best food we had the entire trip and Brett's service was phenomenal (give him a raise Thelma) The food was so good we had to return the next morning for breakfast. Let me tell you... the breakfast was life changing. Their home fries are stupendous! I highly recommend everyone check this place out. They deserve 3/3 Michelin stars!!“

“The manager here, Kailiann, was great. Although our food was extremely late, she was kind and understanding and provided excellent customer service. I'd say the beers are mostly average. The porter is one of their best, really good actually. The atmosphere is ok. But thank you Kailiann for making our experience here better.“

“Ordered avocado toast and a pressed juice with beets, can't recall the name.. both were perfect. Service was excellent. Restroom was clean.. will return...Vegetarian options: Avocado garden toast was delicious.. those sprouts were exactly what I needed“

“Amazing place for breakfast! They have the best country fried steak and the gravy is out of this world! Great service and ambiance! Don’t waste your time with the overrated Teddy Bear. Old Country Inn is thousand times better! This is our go to restaurant for breakfast from now on.“

“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.“

“Service was amazing (they were hustling). We got the enchiladas, chicken taquitos, quesadillas, fajitas and the best chicken tortilla soup of my life (I'm from so cal so don't @ me, it's that good). Also the mango jalapeño margarita was delish!!! Highly recommend, I don't know what all these less than 5 star reviews are about- those people prob love chipotle or something.“

“Daniel was a great server! Even though it was super Sunday afternoon, he made sure everything was taken care of. We loved that there was gluten free options (try the bread!), and the bottomless mimosas are a great deal. A must come to when in Big Bear.“
