Grizzly Manor Cafe

This place is an excellent no-frills diner. Portions are definitely more than generous and food is pretty delicious. Expect to wait a bit to be seated but service is excellent and extremely fast. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Breakfast burrito was terrible. Tortilla was super soggy and wasn’t even wrapped correctly it just fell apart with how poorly it was wrapped and how soggy the tortilla was. Also the burrito comes with peppers, tomatoes and onions which is not specified on the menu nor online. The burrito itself comes with more vegetables than egg or bacon. Would not return

This place is busy! Don't expect to be in and out quickly. The food and atmosphere are amazing. They have stickers, drawings and patches on walls and the ceiling. The pancakes were huge and didn't fit on the plate!

A must visit breakfast joint for thr best classics- eggs done any way, bacon, hash brown, biscuits and gravy, you name it. I recommend The Blob as it is a lot of food on one plate, and almost everything else is basically even MORE food (The Grizzly for example). Service was great, atmosphere was welcoming, and I will definitely be coming back in the future.

YIKES

I love a greasy spoon diner, but our food was actually inedible. Everything tasted like every scrap of burnt food that's been on their griddle for the past month. Like every bit of food had a horrific coating of carbonized grease, like when a restaurant doesn't change their oil on a fryer but this was all from a griddle top. Everything in the small space also seemed just unclean and in need of a head to toe deep sanitizing. The place is just covered in muck and the tables and seating are cheap and in need of repair.

Line was long, service was fast, but Jesus Christ, the food is BAD. I felt like an absolute idiot for falling for such a tourist trap.

So, are you looking for a great place to eat breakfast while visiting Big Bear Lake? Well, look no further than the Grizzly Manor Café, but we warn you, you better bring an oversized appetite because the breakfast portions are enormous. Our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs and we should have simply shared a meal, especially if you order pancakes or a specialty omelet. As for the taste and quality of the meal, simply one of the best breakfast meals you will find anywhere. As for the staff, every one of them had wonderful attitudes, funny yet professional and they sure made us laugh a time or two. This is not a very big restaurant with only a limited number of tables and some counter seating but what they lack in size they make up for it in the size of their meals and the prices are great. There is plenty of free parking on the side of the restaurant and the interior of the restaurant is decorated in a way to honor many who served in the United States Military, which makes it alright in our book any day of the week. Bottom line, great staff, fantastic food with supersized portions and all at a great price and served with a friendly smile. Thank you.

This place was amazing. The busses, waitress and cook were all personable and polite. Food was amazing and that's an understatement. Beware the size of the pancakes. They'll feed you for a week.

Had a late breakfast here on our way out of town after having been up for a wedding. The staff was all super friendly and had a great vibe. The spot is small but they accommodated our party of 17 with no trouble and still had room for more customers. The food was absolutely delicious and came out super quick. You can see the chef cooking from where we sat and he was nonstop as was the rest of the staff. Portion sizes were beyond generous and everyone left very full. Would absolutely visit again if I'm up in Big Bear.
