Big Bear Lake Brewing Company

Conveniently located in the Village, this brewery has a pretty good selection of brews for everyone's palate not to mention an even bigger food menu. The mac and cheese burger easily meets your caloric intake for the day (and then some!) and is quite tasty! I felt like the $20 for a burger was quite steep but as you can tell, the portions are enormous!

They have a great selection of cans to go as well!

Server and employees were great. Owners are too worried about filming themselves and ignore patrons not friendly at all. Will not return due to owners attitude as if too good to be friendly. Food was good beer selection was ok they were out of 3 of the beers we wanted to try, guess we will never try those. Go to fire rock awesome vibe way better food and friendly staff 5 stars.

Waited over an hour and a half for food today. Ended up having it bagged to go. Missed half of our night and it wasn’t even worth it. If you go here only get drinks at the bar. The waitress did not check if we wanted refills or to tell us why our food was not done. Also it was not busy the upstairs and half the tables were not used so there was no excuse, as a waitress I could not believe how bad it was. Don’t do it! Walk to different restaurant even if you have to wait.

Loved the blonde ale. Lovely lady who served my table called me sweetheart and I haven’t heard that in a while. And I needed that. Good spot for beer, food and your heart

The beers are FREEEZING COLD. Dang frosty pints

The food was amazing but the waitress kept rushing us. They were also out of a lot of their beers.

This place has bad reviews around customer service, and I can see why, but it’s not as bad as you would think. The food was actually decent and the store itself was nice, clean and entertaining. They have TVs with sports on and have a range of beer, wine and cocktails. The wine and cocktails weren’t that great. The customer service could be improved on and it’s not that difficult to fix. We checked in and was told there was a 30 minute wait and we waited and we’re finally seated. They ended up finding us a couple of tables, but it took a long time for a waitress to show up. Knowing this, we placed our food order together and while there was about a 30 minute wait, we noticed our food was ready and sitting on the counter, but no one was bringing it out. After a couple of attempts to get our food, someone finally brought it over. For the most part, the food was good, although the chicken in the chicken sandwich was tiny! The pizza and the pesto pasta was just OK also. This place is pretty good, but could be so much better with a little work. Huge potential.

The beer was not good. It tasted like it was infected, like diecetyl or just like poor choices for hop or flavor profiles. Who puts pineapple characteristics in an Amber ale?? Yuck. If you like breweries and actually like good craft beer, steer clear. Don’t bother sitting at the upstairs bar, service industry people are barking at each other left and right and asking if someone is mad they didn’t restock the cooler and about how they can’t do their jobs correctly, and scolding one another. That stressed out environment caused me to tell them I would be moving to a smaller table to try to enjoy my beer in peace. I got a flight so I could sample everything. Which was not worth trying. A customer was yelling from his table to another table for 20 minutes and none of the staff came over to tell him to quiet down. He was clearly drunk and over served and was annoying a lot of people upstairs. I even had to go back up to the bar and return my flight which I barely drank half of. No questions whatsoever on why I was returning it half full and closing out. I just paid and got out of there. Don’t go, life is too short to drink bad beer!!!

Just came here to try the beer. Only had one glass. It was solid and nice to try out this brewery.

A tale of different taste of same beer
Ordered the Lake Dayz Hazy at the bar the beer was very good got a 4pack to take home, very pricy for an ok beer, opened my first two cans and it was flat and I mean flat, nasty taste! Do not know if I would give a second chance

The worst customer service experience I have ever had. Me and my friends came here for breakfast a couple days ago. We had a group of 7 and explained that 2 more were coming. Apparently that was a big problem for them, the waitress shared a look with her co worker and sounded frustrated. We were brought to a table that wasn’t big enough to fit the entire group, so we asked kindly if we were able to use two tables. We were told no and weren’t given any explanation apart from “your whole party isn’t here yet”. We were confused to say the least but we didn’t argue. Then a new waitress comes to get our drinks, she also for some reason has a terrible attitude towards us and made us feel like we were an inconvenience. I then kept noticing the group of waitresses staring and eyeing us, as they were obviously talking about us. At the end when we asked to split the bill the waitress made us feel like we were inconveniencing her once again. Not to mention 30 minutes after we sat down a huge group of bikers came in and took up 4-5 different tables and didn’t use every seat at those tables but apparently they get a pass. Needless to say I have never felt more unwelcome In my life.

Delicious food, great beer and fast and friendly service. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

If you do come (don't recommend, definitely better places in the town) skip the tenders, overpriced and not good. Vibe was cool and brewery was neat. The beer was ok kind of water downed?? Maybe a bad batch? Service was ok, waitress was nice and welcoming. The hostess was very quiet and couldn't understand what he was saying (took it as slightly rude). Overall not great.

We ate here last week and absolutely loved it. The drinks were amazing, all of our food was great. The kids were happy with everything as well. We will definitely return!

Slow service, WAY OVER priced! Don’t get the salads unless you want to spend $18 for a bag of lettuce you can get at Vons for 5.
