45 Best Vegan Restaurants near Big Bear

“Fabulous lunch with enormous portions Obviously cooked fresh Bowl of water and pup cup for dog“

“Had lunch here 01SEP24. I must have caught them during a "lull" as the place was almost empty. (2ish PM.) Had the french dip. (It was 5 star.) By the time I was leaving (45 mins later) the place was packed with people! Server is a CNA in Huntington. Very delightful. When I visit BB again, this place is on my short list to visit.“

“Loved the Malibu bowl with the Tahiti sauce. Tasted like poke but with tofu. They recently moved (about 3 weeks ago) and the location is larger and can better accommodate the usual crowds (there are 3 computers to order which makes it faster/way less wait). The decor is super cute; tropical/Caribbean island meets desert…? My kids loved it. The food was good! I do wish they had more than one vegan option, but it was quite tasty.“

“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!“

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

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

“Good food - relaxing atmosphere“

“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.“

“We were in town visiting from Orange County and definitely wanted to get some great barbecue and based on the reviews, we decided to visit the cook shack. Despite being a little tricky to find, it was well worth the effort. We had pulled pork burgers and brisket burgers, and they were fantastic. And the sides were amazing, potato salad, and macaroni and cheese. And the service was fantastic. One of the cofounders came out and made us feel extremely welcome and appreciative for our business. Would highly recommend people venture off the beaten path to dine at this fantastic restaurant!“

“Best Ruben sandwich ever!“

“They have great people working very nice“

“Here is another hidden gem in the San Bernadino mountains. Big Bear's airport has a great little cafe where you can get away from the tourists and have a great breakfast or lunch. We had Chicken Fried Steak! Great food, great service! Come up and check it out. You might see a great lite aircraft fly in while you are there.“

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

“A great old school steakhouse“

“Absolutely loved this place, will definitely be coming again. The owner was really sweet and it was great talking to her.

I went with a big group of friends and they had something for everyone, including vegan options!! The food here is amazing, I got the veggie burrito and was so stuffed afterwards.

Also, the decor in the bathroom made me laugh, loved it haha

And don't forget to get the watermelon agua fresca 11/10 :)

Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito was great!

Dietary restrictions: Really good vegan options and agau fresca!“

“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!“

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

“🤙🏼🏔🐻🌲. Amazing! The split pea soup is the best!“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming to Big Bear for years and have never tried this place because HOW can Indian food in a small American mountain town be good? Well, I’m a dummy for not coming here sooner. The Baingan Bharta was the best I’ve ever had and I live in a major city! They have a few vegan sections on the menu with plenty of options. Even the vegetarian options have their own space on the menu. The paratha was warm and held up so that I was able to scoop up my curry with it. The only thing that was a bit different than I’ve had before were the pakoras which were massive and had some thick cuts of veggies in them. They were still very delicious and I did end up eating them all.“

“veggie sandwich on cheddar jalapeño bagel: big enough to share!!“

“The owner of this place knows how to care for his customers. He took the time to come out and talk with my wife & I. We had a great conversation about our Country and Keeping America Great.“

“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. ⚜️💚⚜️“

“Calimesa location - Breakfast was so delicious!! Service was spot on thank you Danielle!! Let’s not forget the live singing. . . I could listen to him all day!!“

“Oakside Restaurant was an amazing discovery! We had lunch there today, Saturday, April 5th, at a table for three. We are visiting from French Polynesia, and this is our first time in Big Bear. The meal was absolutely delicious, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely remember this place and hope to return soon!“

“Food was good. service was good. our server Jamie was good. Thank you.“

“Unfortunately, i had a unpleasant experience.
Too expensive for what i ordered. Asada meat had little flavor, it was dry, and too simple. The place is too old, no AC available,and definitely requires maintenance. My first visit was during breakfast time, and the food was great.
I think they need to pay more attention.“

“Food, drinks and service were all great!!“

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

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

“I’m new here in Sugarloaf and I checked out Kallan’s and had a great time. Staff was great and food was good.“

“The food here was absolutely incredible. The beef skewers, honey walnut shrimp and twice cooked pork belly was amazing. Food came out super quick. We got 3 dishes between 2 of us and left stuffed. They are short staffed so I found it quite incredible most of our visit there was one gentleman doing it all. Taking orders, delivery food, picking up plates and processing payments. All while being super polite and helpful, he is full of great food recommendations. Definitely a must try, the food was so amazing I forgot to take pictures of everything.“

“It’s been quite some time since I’ve had brunch and the pancakes and chicken were exquisite and fantastic! Certainly one of the best brunches I’ve ever had and the servers were all friendly and professional! Special shout-out to Ryan to making us feel welcome! Looking forward to coming back!“

“My husband and me love the smoothies here!“

“the staff is awesome and croissants are amazing“

“My husband and me love the smoothies here!“

“The bartender tonight was awesome! She was very helpful and funny. She made great recommendations on food and made my wife some amazing cosmos, highly recommend“

“Royal Thai Bistro is our “go to” place at Big Bear Lake.“

“This is really great pizza, and they have an amazing lunch special. The crust is light but tasty, ingredients are top notch. No complaints! We usually get delivery, by the way they are the only pizza place that delivers in Big Bear...well, not the ONLY one but the other place is a major chain named after a game :) Go with the locally owned and operated pizza place Red Baron! And trust me, the pizza is 1000% better then the frozen pizza company by the same name.10/10! Highly recommend.“

“I LOVE this place! the service was great. we were tended to quickly and the hostess and waitress were extremely kind. the food was mouth watering. the outdoor patio was adorable. the hostess, Jackie, was an incredibly hard working young lady and made sure we had a great experience.“

“My partner and I LOVE Japanese food, so expectations were high when we moved to Big Bear and found out that there weren't a lot of options - thankfully Fuji is wonderful and we stop by as often as we can justify, haha!

I love noodles, and get the ramen or udon every time! The tempura is done properly, not just breaded with panko or whatever! The wasabi is always very fresh and flavorful, unlike a lot of the stuff you get other places that's clearly just very obviously "secretly" horseradish, haha! The portions are just right, and they have a wide selection of items on the menu!

The staff are helpful and friendly, and the service has always been quick for what we order! We have genuinely enjoyed every meal that we have gotten from Fuji!“

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