39 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Big Bear Lake

“best place we ate on our vacation in big bear. excellent outdoor patio space overlooking the lake that's dog friendly, rad staff, and the food and drinks were delicious. the menu is large so make sure you look online ahead of time and plan, because all ordering is done at kiosks inside and with the line snaking behind you, you feel the pressure to pick quickly. service is super quick, our food and drinks were out fast and the atmosphere, decoration, and vibes were impeccable. highly recommend to anyone looking for a great spot to eat.“

“We went camping near Big Bear, and found Murray's because they have karaoke. We ended up going all 4 nights of our stay after our daytime activities were finished. The karaoke host Russ is a super fun friendly guy, and all the bar/food staff were so friendly and welcoming. By our 4th night there it was like we'd known these people for years. We were sad to leave. They also have probably the best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had in my life.“

“I will start this by saying if we could give more than 5 stars for service we absolutely would!! Janet! She is simply a gift. From the second we opened the front door her beautiful energy welcomed us so wholeheartedly. Her smile, her personality and her patience hearing out our special dietary needs were all above and beyond any expectations we could have had. We travel a lot and not only dine out but have worked extensively in F&B for decades. Janet sets the bar and she sets it high! We cannot wait to get back to Big Bear to go hug her at Bennys!“

“Gaby’s Latin Flavors is seriously great food! We had the fresh avocado salad with the salsas, short rib plate, and the carne asada wrap- if you’re in Big Bear do your crew a favor and swing by! Oh yeah, the margaritas are huge and hit the spot! 🙌“

“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!“

“My little and I went to The Cook shack for the first time yesterday. We had the fish and chips. When I say these were the best I've ever had, I mean it! We'll be back for more fish or to try something else from the menu. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just saw this place on the side of road and my family and I got delicious pizza and watched the world cup, having so much fun. Can't wait to come back. Was great to grab drinks whenever we wanted and paying on a tablet. We never had to wait for drinks on the fridge while they focused on our pizza. Highly recommend“

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

“Great service and great food.“

“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. ⚜️💚⚜️“

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

“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) 👌🙌“

“Ah, good 'ol La Paws! I've been eating here for at least 20 Summers and it's always good. Low key relaxed unassuming atmosphere, fair prices and genuine hospitality.
Come see what's kept them a favorite with locals and tourists alike for decades.“

“We visited for Sunday lunch. We had the chicken momos and the veg thali with okra and malai kofta. Everything we ordered was great. The food was flavorful without being too greasy or salty. The server was helpful. He brought us a high chair for our baby and water for the dog.“

“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!“

“Great service, great food, great drinks and wonderful covered patio area. Highly recommend. Parking can be tough.. Go and enjoy!“

“The experience of taking the sky chair to the Taphouse was lovely! The views were breathtaking, that staff were amazing! Once at the Taphouse, it was easy to get in line and order what we wanted. Everything was made fresh, right in front of us. The food was delicious and my husband loved the beer on tap! We can't wait to do it again!“

“Had great sandwiches with the tastiest fresh bread. Good customer service too! Thank you Mia(?)“

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

“Got a vanilla latte and it was really good. They have alternative milks for those of us that are intolerant =]. And the staff was super friendly. The area where you order is out in the open, but there is a covered area to hangout right next to it. 🙂“

“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.“

“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.“

“La Pergola in Big Bear Village is a true hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, inviting, and authentically Italian. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, making the entire dining experience relaxed and enjoyable.

The food is outstanding. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients and rich, balanced flavors. The pasta is especially memorable—perfectly cooked and paired with sauces that taste homemade. The wine selection complements the menu beautifully, adding to the overall experience.
I had the homemade chicken noodle soup of the day (homemade with fresh ingredients), we had the calamari, homemade focaccia bread with EVOO dipping oil, the Margarita pizza was divine with a perfect crust, Cesar salad with jumbo shrimp, divine chicken parmigiana (huge portion), and house side salad. All the dishes transported me to Italy. A must try- you won’t be disappointed.

Whether you are visiting Big Bear or a local looking for a great night out, La Pergola delivers consistently excellent food and service. It is the kind of place you will want to return to again and again. I can’t wait to be back. Good people and exceptional food.“

“This place is amazing, such a good job with the quality of everything in there. If you want good coffee, an actual good matcha, and some fun items this is it. Basically if you’re a bit of a city person and like quality this is the spot“

“The brownies are amazing. Only coffee shop open at 7am. Super friendly staff!“

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