Cedar Glen Malt Shop

50s diner. Malts are delicious. Burgers and fries were good. My husband had a vegie burger and I had a mushroom and cheese burger. We stop in here whenever we need a good burger fix!

Cedar Glen Malt Shop was a letdown.

The service felt inattentive and unorganized, which set the tone early. The burgers did not meet expectations, lacking flavor and care in preparation. The fries were clearly cooked at too high of a heat, which was noticeable in both taste and texture. Unfortunately, the milkshake was the biggest miss. It had a strange smell that immediately raised concerns and made it impossible to enjoy.

Overall, the experience fell short across the board. With better options nearby, this is not a place I plan to return to.

Our first time at the Cedar Glen Malt Shop (50's Diner style) and I'm already planning another trip up the mountain! Honestly, can't say enough about this hidden gem nestled just outside of Lake Arrowhead, up the many curvy and windy roads to the small community of Cedar Glen.
Celebrating 80 years of serving the many satisfies patrons both locally and those like me that travel, Cedar Glen Malt Shop is the Real Deal! They serve up smiles, delicious 1/3 lbs Angus burgers, and Incredible Shakes & Malts with THRIFTY'S Ice Cream!! Their food is quite affordable and they offer a nice Military discount too. Just ask. Gotta give a shout out too all the staff! Especially our servers! Thanks Audrey & Candy, you're the Best!
Make the trip, you won't be disappointed.

This diner is a true hidden gem! It was raining and wintry outside and so cozy inside. Staff was quite welcoming and accommodating. The burgers, fries, onion rings and shakes were absolutely delicious! We'll definitely be back.

Thanks for an amazing lunch!

This place was such a cute local find. We recently purchased a house in LA and we have been trying different places. The kids wanted a quick lunch but I looked up Blue Jays and noticed that they only had a little over two stars on the reviews…

We ended up coming here. It had been raining for two days and the kids were just hungry and mom and dad wanted comfort food. I also wanted to come here because I read about the shakes and I thought that would be a cute treat for the kids.

I ordered the chicken Caesar salad … it was plain. We ordered the mini corn dog kids meal for my 5 years old and a strawberry shake… of course she loved it. Our son had the fish n chips whip came with soup or salad.. he loved the soup. Husband had the protein burger. Son also got a crazy banana split Sunday thing.

The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. There were a few locals that stopped by and it was cool to see the employees call them by their names. All employees were super sweet, cool, friendly!

I didn’t use the restroom so I’m not able to get any info on that. The food was definitely comfort food. Tons of burgers, and a few sandwiches. I think I only saw house soup and chili on the menu. We should have tried the onion rings, but maybe we will try that next time.

Parking was a little difficult, it’s right up front . Difficult only because we have a huge truck .. there are maybe a total of eight spaces in the front but is really good for them because that means they were busy… I didn’t knock them down in the start for parking. I knocked him down because the food.

Took a stroll to Lake Arrowhead from the city to enjoy the mountains and beautiful weather after raining.

We asked locals for a good burger spot and found this place, highly rated for a reason. Very good food and service, wonderful people, and just overall good atmosphere.

I’ll indeed be back many times over because it was such a good burger. Yum yum yum 🍔

Great little burger joint! The malts/shakes were good. The patty melt was great. The fries are worth ordering on their own. The only real drawback is parking. You have to be really lucky to find anywhere that you can park. This place is always that busy.
