Make sure you go early with enough time to wait. It's totally worth the wait though, food is delicious, service is great! Gets a little crowded but that's expected in a small place. Definitely a must go place in Big Bear.

A great first place to stop after a windy drive up! Service is excellent and friendly, menu is hilarious, and the Mess is the best! Only minor ding is the rather rubbery chicken fried steak.

Grizzly Manor Cafe is a gem in Big Bear, CA. The cozy, local vibe, coupled with their mouth-watering breakfast menu, makes it a must-visit spot for anyone in the area. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a quirky, warm atmosphere that only adds to the unique dining experience. The staff is known for being friendly and attentive, ensuring your meal is as enjoyable as possible.The menu is a breakfast lover's dream, with options ranging from their famously large pancakes to hearty breakfast combos that include eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon. Their French Toast breakfast is a personal favorite of mine—perfectly cooked, dusted with powdered sugar, and simply delicious.Portion sizes are generous, to say the least, so make sure to bring your appetite.

Overly priced.They charge for a coffee which is usually complimentary with food.Plus if you have no cash they charge you 4% extra for card.. really?? And if so why don’t you mention explicitly?

Unbelievable! Doug is the man! Food was incredible! Really surprisingly good! Service was fast!
This place rocks! Old school and American culture in every bite! Delicious classic breakfast food at its finest! Amazing ?. My wife and I try to go every other week. Our little girl is best friends with Mary the new owner. Such a wonderful person. The staff are always friendly. They go above and beyond to make you breakfast time amazing. Prices are reasonable because the of huge portions! You get to watch the chef from where you sit. Tight seating and greasy spoon perfection. The new owner is amazing and carry on the legacy from the original owners. Love these people and their hole in the wall heaven. I will always go here for breakfast. Now I've got left overs to get down on. Best breakfast place in Big Bear.Parking: Dominoes loves grizzlies so much they offer up their own parking for them.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and drawings. Stickers too.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat ground in and out the restaurant.

Grizzly Manor is my most favorite little place in the Big Bear Valley it is a small restaurant in Big Bear Lake that is famed for it's delicious breakfast foods.My favorite meal here is "The Blob" it's biscuits & Gravy with Eggs and bacon on top of it with hash browns on the side. I also very much recommend the French Toast Combo it's incredible.This place is popular and because of that they get busy very easily. If you don't come early you may have quite the long wait.

This place came highly recommended from friends and now I come here for breakfast every time I'm in Big Bear. There's no way I can come and not stop by for some food. I've been coming here for the past two years now and it never disappoints me. I try something new every time and have loved everything. On my previous visit I had the French Toast and it was amazing. This time I had to try the Blob and my friends tried the different pancakes. Then tomorrow I'm definitely going for their waffles. The place isn't that big, so make sure you get there early or you'll have a little wait because everyone loves the food here. It has a nice old school diner slash nostalgic feel to it. You definitely can't go to Big Bear and not have breakfast here at least once.
