The Cookshak offers a wide variety of choices for everyone, including vegan options like the delicious Sunshine Veggie salad. Their BBQ sauces, including Carolina BBQ, are a highlight, especially with dishes like pulled pork tots. The restaurant celebrates the flavor of the meat with perfect seasoning and cooking, and the sauces served on the side have rich spices that really stand out. The beans are garlicy and a bit spicy, making them some of the best ever. Service is friendly and thoughtful, complementing the delicious, home-cooked-style entrées enjoyed with beautiful lakeviews. Popular dishes like the California sandwich, served with mustard BBQ sauce, and perfectly dry ribs with good smoke, are highly recommended. The brisket is amazing, and the cheddar jalapeno sausage can't be beat. Visitors also enjoy their pulled pork and brisket burgers, which are fantastic, along with sides like potato salad and macaroni and cheese. The staff is friendly and welcoming, with one cofounder making guests feel appreciated. Outdoor seating is available, and customers appreciate the effort to put burger toppings on the side, making their meals even better. Overall, The Cookshak is a must-visit spot in Big Bear for those who love great meat and flavorful BBQ.
