36 Best Vegan Restaurants in Big Bear Lake

“Tropicali in Big Bear was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with friendly smiles and outstanding service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and their positive attitude made the whole experience even better.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with quality and care, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. It’s not often you find a place that delivers both incredible food and exceptional customer service, but Tropicali does exactly that.

If you’re visiting Big Bear or live in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great food, amazing workers, and an atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!

🌴❤️ Thank you to the entire Tropicali team for such a wonderful experience. You made my day! 🙌 @mabo.trails“

“Best avocado salad, pozole and horchata ever! My husband and I went to Gaby’s every time we were in Big Bear. It was our favorite restaurant. We have since moved out of state but I still think about Gaby’s all the time. Do yourself a favor and go to Gaby’s and order everything I mentioned. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great family, great staff, great food and great entertainment😊“

“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!“

“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!“

“Authentic American breakfast.Large portions. Great service. Pancakes are fluffy and filling.“

“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.“

“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) 👌🙌“

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

“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. ⚜️💚⚜️“

“Walked in lunch time and was empty, everything was neat and clean. I ordered chai tea, garlic naan, and mixed grill (lamb, chicken, and shrimp). Food was delicious, I wish it had a bit more flavor that popped. It wasn’t spicy, they did provide hot sauce on the side. They got busy after I arrived. Servers were a lil overwhelmed. No one followed up on how food was or drink refills. Probably just due to rush. Overall would go again.“

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

“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!“

“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!“
