Contribute FeedbackBig Bear Cafe offers a mixed dining experience according to various customer reviews. While some praise the amazing food, great drinks, and beautiful outdoor area, others find the food to be subpar, with long wait times. The atmosphere, friendly staff, and quality coffee are commonly commended. The cafe's setting in a quaint neighborhood with a vibrant community feel and events is highlighted positively. While some mention that the food doesn't quite match the lovely surroundings, the overall consensus seems to lean towards a favorable experience with room for improvement. Great for coffee and brunch, with potential for more.
I took my wife here for her birthday and we also had our wedding reception here. They have taken great care of us every time, it is clear they care about their customers. Plus, the food is amazing! The outside area is beautiful as well. They also have a great selection at the bar and great mixed drinks. We will be going back to Big Bear many times I'm sure and I would recommend it for any occasion. Great place, great experience!
Delicious food. Variety for different tastes and diets. Waitress and chef were able to make slight adjustment for no saturated cream fat and low sodium, while staying true to the entree.
Good food, great service, casual neighborhood vibe, not too loud at 8:00 on a Saturday night. Would definitely recommend the risotto and burgers. However, have only eaten here once on a cold winter night with 3 friends. Have not had the brunch menu which is highly recommended online or had the pleasure of sitting in the outdoor dining space, which is also highly recommended online. Look forward to returning for brunch in better weather.
We were a party of 3. The worst thing was 2 of us ordered the same thing but only one of us was left with no food. The third person's dish didn't come till one of us was nearly done eating. Besides that it was a wonderful night out. The burger was delish. The farrow rissotto was surprisingly yummy. The Old Fashioneds were very smooth. The waiter was very apologetic and we'll blame the snafu on the tiny kitchen.
Loved that you could reach up and pick a few grapes from the vines there.
