Great breakfast, The cinnamon pecan french toast never disappoints. This is absolutely a mom and pop shop. Not to far from Calley Cabin, with decent amount of parking.
This is a cash only establishment. There is an ATM. We haven't tried their lunch or dinner, but looks good.

We absolutely love this place! The family that runs it is so welcoming. The pop is a retired marine. Their patio is pup friendly, with water and occasionally treats. Not only is the family great, the burgers are the way a great burger is supposed to be juicy, thick, and full of flavor. The milkshakes are where its at. Oreo shake never tasted so good.
They also do whole roasted/smoked chicken. I believe this is only Mondays, but can be pre ordered.

Grab a latte, and gelato! Bring them to their large porch, sit on one of their massive rocking chairs, with your pup, and watch the day fly by. The sandwiches here are made fresh and they're yummy. The indoor seating area is rustic and cute as well.

I know its Domino's... but they deliver! They have never disappointed us in timing, brutal snow storms, and more importantly PIZZA! Its one of the few late night places to get food. Most of Big Bear is done by 9pm.

This is a trendy lovable spot. When its slightly chilly out their patio is full of random firepits. The trees have twinkle lights and sometimes live music. The food is fabulous! Definitely one of the nicer venues we've come across.

Everything here is HUGE! Its a completely different dining experience. You'll get to joke with the staff and surrounding diners. Its a very small dining area, theres usually always a wait. Hop onto Yelp to put your name on the list.

Drinks & Nightlife
BREAD PUDDING! and of course seasonal beers, and traditional american brewery type goodies. Did I mention BREAD PUDDING with a caramel sauce.... I think its a blondie style bread pudding.
They have a pup friendly patio, with water, leash hooks, and umbrellas.

Love the laid back area. Lots of grass for lounging. A dock to fish from, bring a chair. Also a sandy area to play in the lake. There are places nearby to rent kayaks and paddle boards. Our favorite place to catch the sunset.
