49 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Big Bear Lake

“I went with my woman and we both enjoyed our time here. The decor was nice and the staff were very pleasant! They have tvs for the games also so that’s a huge plus. My partner and I both ordered burgers and they were some of THE best burgers we’ve had and I’ve been around. There was a mix up with my order and I received a single instead of the double but when I brought it up they offered me the extra patty for free and profusely apologized, something I’m not used to honestly so I definitely recommend people to try them out, you won’t regret. Exceptional food and service :)“

“Everything about this place is incredible! The food, the drinks, the decor, vibes... Especially the service! As new parents, it's sometimes a struggle for my husband and I to enjoy a night out, but the staff at Tropicali ensured we had a great time. They even offered to wash our baby's bottle! We will definitely be returning every time we go to Big Bear.“

“10/10 Stars all around! This place is a vibe! We had the pleasure of stopping for lunch at Moon Ridge coffee Company, and it did not disappoint. My 10-year-old would like me to be sure to mention that his hibiscus lemonade was incredible. My family of four each had a different sandwich and they were all delicious and there was no skimping on any of the ingredients. The people were friendly and service was great. Highly recommend!“

“This is literally the best Mexican/latin food I have ever had. The restaurant crew all were nice especially our waitresses. They took care of me and my family as it was our first time visiting this restaurant. We had heard great reviews about this place and it did not disappoint! The chips and chicken wings were fire! Couldn’t stop munching it down. Literally finger licking good! They were so fast with our food but also carefully made picture perfect, and everything tasted so delicious. I loved my wet carne asada burrito and cranberry lemonade. My family left this place with full bellies as we couldn’t take another bite and letting the goodness settle in and had to take the rest home for another round another time hahha. We went today and it wasn’t busy at all and in a way it made the experience all the better. Food is decently priced and so worth it because everything tasted fresh, it was hot and full of flavor I kid you not it’s literally the best Latin food I have ever had. And they even put on music for us and my little niece danced around the restaurant very happy with her soup of the day and the yummy aguas frescas. Music set the vibe as very welcoming and filled life to the restaurant. It was just a great time with wholesome fun and time to be intimate or bond with good people around you in this setting. It’s a really neat place you can sit inside and look at all the unique wall decor also have the option to dine outside and enjoy the fresh air that big bear has to offer. We said our goodbyes as we had to race against time to get back home to avoid driving down the hill before it get dark. What really stuck out to me and as we me and my family were about to leave parking lot to go back home our waitress smiled and waves us a goodbye! how neat it that to care about there customers from beginning to end. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩 no doubt. Please hop on this gem support great people like Gabby and her staff and grab a bite! If you love Mexican food you won’t regret it and I can’t wait to come back because the customer service here is superb! As someone used to work in a restaurant and the hotel business I can say I have a deep appreciation for others who value their customers to help them feel comfortable no matter what and effort putting in through great customer service cleanliness and working behind the scenes to deliver great hospitality and is genuine about it. You don’t get that a lot and that’s why they stood out to me. Love this place, love the staff. Great times. Thank you so much again. This place is top notch!“

“🤙🏼🏔🐻🌲. Amazing! The split pea soup is the best!“

“Best food in Big Bear. I go every week and I'm always super happy!“

“One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time. I was skeptical about door dashing a cocktail but I was SO surprised when it came in a mason jar. Honey mustard was so tasty I used on my sandwich instead of the pickles. The pickles were good but a bit breaded for my taste. Regardless, this was the perfect pick for BB for my first night.“

“Absolutely love this place! The pizza was fresh, perfectly baked, and loaded with flavor. You can really tell they care about quality. The staff was super friendly and welcoming.. they made us feel right at home. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Big Bear, this spot is a must-try. Five stars all the way! 🍕🔥“

“When I was California I lost my backpack with wallet all cc money and DL. I was at Big Bear lake. The beginning of our trip. Well the owner of Big Bear Brewery found me on FB messenger mailed my backpack with all its belongings. Even the cash. Good people do exist Richard thank you! I encourage everyone to try Big Bear Mountain Brewery. The Ruben sandwich is the real deal!“

“Best Ruben sandwich ever!“

“I enjoyed a satisfying dinner after a relaxing wellness day at Soothing Canna Massage and Wellness. It was an amazing pairing that I highly recommend. PROS: Located in the heart of Big Bear village, this rustic, warm, and cozy restaurant provided wonderful amabiance for a Spring evening meal. Hostesses and greeters welcomed us with smiles and friendliness. Our server, Leticia, provided courteous, professional, and knowledgeable service. We ordered the outstanding macademia nut crusted crab cakes with a wonderfully balanced chunky mango salsa. Not since the heyday of Citrone's in Redlands crab cakes have I delighted so dearly of these crustacean delicacies. The baked brie accompanied with toasted pine nuts, and chipotle rasberry sauce paired deliciously with grilled ciabatta. The freshly baked bread added a nice yeasty element with butter. The entree of pistachio crusted chicken with orange dijon sauce complimented each other sweetly. The buttery sweet potato mash contributed to the nutty tangy protein. I enjoyed dipping the freshly prepared vegetables with the sauce and mash! CONS: The salad that comes with the entree seemed like an after thought and definitely did not compare to the freshly made soups. The dishes are slightly overpriced compared to other places with similar food selections. So, the value is not exactly there. OVERALL: With a dirge of options at the quality and professionality of Peppercorn Grill in Big Bear, I highly recommend this spot for a wonderful dinner with friends and loved ones. ⚜️💚⚜️“

“Great food, nice music, ambience, will be back for sure!!!“

“Owners are amazing people, the burgers are AMAZING! For me this is probably the best burger I've had..I enjoyed every bite! Along with the pickle fries!! If u like spicy ask for the raccon style(sauted onion and yellow peppers) 👌🙌“

“Great service and great food.“

“Excellent food courtesy friend servers. My first time and I will definitely return Thank you for good food good service and excellent dining experience“

“The owner of this place knows how to care for his customers. He took the time to come out and talk with my wife & I. We had a great conversation about our Country and Keeping America Great.“

“Classic bar. The decor is great, with lots of hardwood and a fireplace. Bartenders are skilled and friendly. Whiskey selection is extensive. Only 4 beer taps, but they're thoughtfully curated to provide a variety of good, mostly local beers.“

“Delicious brunch of savory crepe and caramel latte. Thank you! And bonus photo ops featuring Jesse out back! Thanks!“

“If you’re looking to try something delicious and a bit different – this is the place!
We ordered the chicken chat, tomato soup, lamb vindaloo, fried chicken & mushrooms, and rice. Everything was very unique but incredibly tasty! The chicken had a slight sweetness to it, and the lamn literally melted in my mouth.
The place is super clean, with almost obsessive attention to detail – even the glasses were spotless, not a single smudge. Only two guys were working on a busy Saturday, but somehow they cooked and served everything really fast.
Meal was $55 total for 2 people.
The only thing to be aware of is that the waiter’s outfit is super casual, and he’s not really helpful when it comes to choosing dishes, so I’d recommend looking up some Indian meals in advance, just to have an idea of what you might like. Good thing the menu is big and has pictures.
Highly recommend checking this place out! We’ve tried other restaurants around Big Bear Lake, but the food here was by far the best.“

“The food was delicious! The coffee was excellent. The cheesecake was one of the best I've ever eaten. The view was just beautiful, sitting outside. A true treat!“

“We where in town visiting for the snow season and we where have a hard time deciding what to have for breakfast when when found La Paws this place is like a touch of home. I had the huevos rancheros and they there the best I forget what else the family had but they loved it as well and we are sure to be back next time we visit really recommend 10/10“

“Great service from owner! Treated my family as if they were her own! Plan to eat here again.“

“Had a great meal today at Jasper’s. Best cheese curds I have had in California and the Mac and cheese was also the bomb.“

“Delicious food. Portions were huge! You won’t be disappointed! Fast, friendly service.“

“Oakside Restaurant was an amazing discovery! We had lunch there today, Saturday, April 5th, at a table for three. We are visiting from French Polynesia, and this is our first time in Big Bear. The meal was absolutely delicious, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely remember this place and hope to return soon!“

“This pho restaurant is not owned by Vietnamese, and this is Big Bear, so you can't compare with Vietnamese food in Little Saigon, Orange County, the capital of Vietnamese refugees. There's no Vietnamese supermarket for Vietnamese food, so I can't complain. To me, a Vietnamese, the food at this restaurant in this cold town is good and much better, and healthier than unhealthy fast food restaurants around, so I'm happy to give it 5 stars. By the way, the combination fried rice is really good. Moreover, the service is very good, and people working here are very friendly. Highly recommend when you come to Big Bear.“

“Great service, second to none. Awesome food at good price. Cold beer, too many to choose from. Will come back again.“

“Calimesa location - Breakfast was so delicious!! Service was spot on thank you Danielle!! Let’s not forget the live singing. . . I could listen to him all day!!“
