36 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Big Bear Lake

“This place is so cool! From the giant shark head entrance to the tiki-ish themed decor inside. There's also outdoor seating with a gorgeous view.

They have a bunch of poke bowls to choose from and I overheard one of the servers talking about the Krakatoa bowl, so I got that one. Seriously, it's one of the best poke bowls I've ever had in my life. 10/10 would recommend.

You can tell the employees have a good time during their shifts lol they announce orders over an intercom system and if you know, you know. If not, you'll just have to check it out for yourself 😉

I've favorited this place on my Google maps so every time I come to Big Bear I can visit. It's that good.“

“You walk in, looks like a good old dive bar until you order your food. This place has the best burgers for the price, the calamari’s were fresh and tender. The jalapeño burger was huge and the meat was great AND COOKED TO PERFECTION. By far some of the best food I’ve had at a bar. Get there early because at lunch it fills up fast with the locals.“

“Such a lovely, cozy, and authentic restaurant. The staff is incredibly sweet and kind. Food is absolutely delicious!!! The lovely woman at the front recommended the avocado salad and we loved it! Every course was delicious! The chips, cheese, and salsa were good and the main entrees were incredible! Would definitely come back when I visit big bear again!“

“Soft Tacos and Enchiladas are good. The sauces are homemade not canned. We go there everytime we go to Big Bear. The food is always fresh, service is friendly and attentive. Really clean and great service.“

“We came for breakfast. The patio is great, our server was lovely and very attentive. Refilled our coffee and kept it hot. Only negative was the biscuit was hard as a rock. All the other food was excellent the sausage links were especially good.“

“We love this spot! Last weekend, we enjoyed their beer flights and wine slushy 😋 Rachel was engaging, friendly and super helpful. They have a variety of wines, beers, cute gifts. All reasonably priced. We will be back soon!“

“Great service. The patio was great. Amazing anti pasta salad. Best wings we’ve had!!! Crispy and tasty!!! The pizza was yummy!“

“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) 👌🙌“

“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, cozy atmosphere (not loud!), and friendly staff.“

“Good food - relaxing atmosphere“

“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. ⚜️💚⚜️“

“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!“

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

“I wasn’t sure if I would like Indian food. This place is so good. Everything I ordered was so good. The server was very attentive and seemed to never stop moving. The wife and I ordered way too much food and surprisingly the bill was not bad at all. If you’re in the area you must try this place. You will not be disappointed.“

“We had a lovely time at La Pergola, but we ended up here because we didn’t have reservations and could not get in to the restaurant we wanted.
The staff was very nice, but not very knowledgeable when it comes to wine. My gf Merlot was actually hot. 🥵
She loved her beef carpaccio and I loved the vegetarian pasta. We sat outside which was lovely.“

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

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

“Great food! Can’t wait to visit Big Bear again and come back for another meal.“

“Fresh flavorful food. This place needs to separate themselves from the name 909 taqueria. I forgot the name but it’s tacos and Mexican food at the same location as 909taqueria. We ordered carne asada fries and a torta. Both were extremely delicious and plentiful as they serve large portions making it worth the price. We’ll definitely be back.“

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

“We tried the vegan pho (my first time trying this and I can’t wait to have it again) and the noodles. Both were huge portions, we had to take some away for later. One nice staff member front of house who was also running out to deal with accommodation issues nearby (tho place is based within an accommodation complex, but its own little building and open to the public). Limited alcoholic drink options outside of beer so I went for the soju. Premises is very small - only a couple of tables and a couple of chars at the counter.
