A great neighborhood establishment, with 5/5 food options and fantastic selection of drinks! We were so impressed by the variety on the menu and kids meals for the littles was much appreciated. The service was great, and food came out quick and hot. Burgers are amazing! They have two pool tables and an arcade too. My kids had the best time. We will be back soon!

The food was good and the service was good as well. Seems to be a favorite spot for locals, as there were plenty of them totally wasted loud asf at the bar. We don't drink alcohol so that was a little annoying. The main reason for the low rating is they charged my card twice- once for the food I ordered, and some other charge for something else. Ended up paying almost twice what the food cost. I didn't realize until I checked my credit card statement.

My family and I were in town enjoying the snow and beautiful mountains and stopped by Sandy's for dinner. The restaurant has an awesome vibe, tons of sports on the large TV screens around the dining area, and a surprisingly large arcade/game area. The kids had a blast. The food was amazing! I loved the fish and chips! They have a huge beer selection and the staff was super attentive and fun. I can't recommend this place enough. We will return every time we come to Big Bear!

My friends and family came here on vacation looking for a good sports bar to go to to enjoy some drinks and tasty food. This place had high quality food and the drink were made very well! There were, at first 3 people helping us. One kind gentleman and two women. I unfortunately was able to catch one of their names which is Lauren. I just want to thank Lauren for showing such hospitality to my friends and family. Unfortunately the reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of the bartender Tim. When Tim (another gentleman that just started his shift) was waiting on us at the bar at the beginning of his shift made our family and friends pick up our tab and wanted to leave immediately. He was condescending and dismissive. He was asking us how we were going to pay once we asked for another drink. Mind you this was the second round of drinks we had ordered, with food. We had been there for at least an hour and a half and he kept asking how we are going to pay and if we had a card on file multiple times. It Felt like an interrogation, until Lauren stepped in and explained that we were taken care of. For a bartender and waiter you would of course expect kindness and some kind of hospitality and this man has no business being in the service industry, with the kind of attitude he had. I unfortunately will not be coming back thanks to Tim. But I would like to thank the 3 servers/bartenders that deserves recognition for their great service.

Life saver Lauren at Sandy's Sports Bar & Restaurant! It's Saturday night 6:15pm, no restaurant is doing take out orders or even answering their phone. I've got 3 teenage boys who had hiked all day, sun baked/burnt, starving and tired. I'm out of options that won't take hours to get this time of night. I'm desperate to find food. Took a chance at coming to Sandy's, fingers-crossed they were going to help me out. Right as I walked through the door Lauren greeted me and helped me right away (even while she was clearing a table). She helped me sort out my complex order and even offered to get my husband and I water while we waited. We got a chance to sit and relax while waiting for the food. Got the food and got home just in time before the boys started eating the furniture. Sandy's is a great place with fantastic service. It has an arcade for kids, TVs with sports and a full bar - Doesn't get better than that. Great for families or anyone looking for a sports bar with decent food. Burgers and fries were good. Many thanks to Sandy's and the great service from Lauren!
Wanted to add the current menu since it wasn't available before we came. Will post again after we eat!

So happy to see Sandy’s back open and under new owners. They’re food is absolutely delicious. We had the fried pickles, cheese curds, wedge salad, a couple of kids meals, a burger and a spicy chicken sandwich in which, spicy chicken sandwich, a tasty beer and even more tasty margarita and none of it disappointed. Being family friendly is so nice, the kids had a blast playing on all the games they have while we waited. Even though it was busy, it was so worth the wait. You can really tell the new owners take pride in their restaurant.Kid-friendliness: There are so many games for the kids to play to help with the wait and the fact that this isn’t a “bar” but a family sports bar.

Wow, totally not a good experience. Kitchen was backed up. Over an hour for food. When I asked to see how much longer I was met with not a nice reaction. Everyone seemed bummed out that worked there lol. When we got the food it was room temp and so so.. Wish them all the luck! Don't think we I'll ever return. Bogus spot.

We went up to Big Bear after a recent storm and the cold weather is perfect for the delicious burgers from Sandy's with fries and beer battered onion rings. Nice thick patties, thick bacon, and their signature bun is a nice touch. Next time I'm visiting the area, I know where to get my burger cravings. We ordered to go and received the food in the time mentioned but if you're looking for a sit down place to enjoy the burger with a beer, can't go wrong.
