A nice little diner with good food. The staff was super attentive. You can sit outside with your dog.
Love coming here for breakfast! Services is great and food is always delicious. I love their French toast and their menudo! But everything here over all taste delicious, give u that home made deliciousness.
I like my diners simple: good comfort food, coffee with refills, cosy, even a little shabby furniture, and efficient waiters. That place was exactly what I needed after a day of snowboarding.
We stopped in for lunch and tried the Reuben sandwich and the Patty Melt on rye—both were very good! The Reuben had tender corned beef and tangy sauerkraut, and the Patty Melt was hearty with crispy rye bread. The cozy diner feel really added to the experience, and the service was friendly. Great spot for comfort food in Big Bear—just shy of perfect, but definitely worth a visit.
I went to the outdoor patio with my wife and our dog, the staff was very nice and kind, the service was 5 stars and the food too, we had the French toast combo n°1 and the Eggs Benedict with Canadian ham, the food was very nice I don't regret and we are definitely coming back for another good food. The French Vanilla Cappuccino is really good by the way.
Cute diner for breakfast! Food was fine/good, classic breakfast food but loved the vibes of the place. The French vanilla cappuccino was really tasty.
I had the most pleasant meal here on a Friday night after working on my cabin all day. My pastrami burger was cooked well, and the fries were nice and crispy. This place has an all-American diner feel to it without dipping into the greasy spoon category. Service was friendly and prompt. They let me stay and read after my meal and didn’t rush me out to turn the table. Right off the main road thru town without having to go all the way West past the traffic of the Village area. They took the time to decorate for Valentines Day and manage to keep the mountain town affect. Next time I’ll try the birria plate.
