30 Best American Restaurants near Lake Arrowhead

“Rustic but comfy. Right at the entrance of Lake Arrow Village“

“The food and the drinks were absolutely delicious but the prices are just outrageous I paid $37 for one margarita and two tacos. I understand they need to inflate prices a little but that's price gouging and I won't go back because of it.“

“We’ll be back soon, service was great 👍🏽“

“We absolutely love this place definitely recommend 🙂“

“Just a great place. Wonderful menu. Great prices. Great portions. Very friendly staff and service. We were visiting Arrowhead and we’ll definitely stop by the next time we’re in town! Highly recommended.“

“The Tudor house. So they say the house is haunted, which made for a perfect place to take my girlfriend for Halloween. I did a little research about the house and found out it has a very interesting past filled with gangsters, gambling, women of the night and of course booze. Don't forget the underground tunnels that go to the surrounding houses. So as for their Halloween haunted house, it was GREAT... My girlfriend was very scared. So I have to say that all the members of the attraction did a wonderful job at scaring people.Across the street they have a nice amphitheater that they use for doing plays as well as other entertainment. So the night we went they had a play of Bram Stoker's Dracula as it aired on a radio show. It was my first time going to a live play and I must say that I had a wonderful time. The cast did a great job with their performance. They allowed pictures to be taken during the show. All in all my girlfriend and I had a wonderful evening.I highly recommend both places for a wonderful evening.“

“OMG, this was good! I bring guests here for the atmosphere and the view from the open patio! Inside the restaurant it is also relaxxing and tranquil during the day. Thank you so much for revamping my favorite mango pineple salad on the menue. At some point it disappeared, but I am so happy it is back! I asked the chef if they had nuts without sweet glazing, and they did! That salad absolutely makes my day! My guests enjoyed it too. The young lady waitress was super friendly, pleasant and courteous, and she offered us great options from the menu. Thank you!“

“We just had a wonderful breakfast here! The fresh fruit is truly fresh and delicious! Both my husband and I enjoyed our breakfast and felt the food was very fresh. The service was great. They kept the coffee cups filled and hot. This is a very quaint restaurant with a friendly staff.

Kid-friendliness: They offered a kids menu and big booths for space.“

“Oh my god that food was like having a party in my mouth. Best hamburger I've ever had. The bacon. Cheeseburger had thick pieces of bacon on it. The smell by itself was wonderful. I also had fried zucchini. I don't think I'm overstateing how good and fresh the food was. I'd eat there again today. They have a wide variety of good Mexican and American. They even have a drive through. A must try place to eat.😋“

“Hot fudge sundae! Delicious!“

“Excellent food,i also love the atmospere 🙂“

“Good food & amazing service“

“Best salmon fish I have ever enjoyed! 5-Star Dining in a beautiful mountain setting. Surprisingly thoughtful food, elevated flavor profiles and an enjoyable dining experience.“

“This is my third time visiting this restaurant/coffee shop, and every single visit has been outstanding. I absolutely love the atmosphere. The prices are great, the food is delightful, and the portions are out of this world—so much food! I still can’t believe I live less than a mile away.

I want to give a very special shout-out to Gio/Geo. He was my server during my previous visit, and his customer service has been top-tier every time.

Today, Sunday 11/16/25, I rushed straight here from work in Orange County because he genuinely made my last experience unforgettable. It was very busy, and even though he wasn’t a server today, the moment he noticed I had been unattended for a few minutes, he immediately came to assist me. He took my order on the spot and once again saved the day!

This young man is truly a gem, and I hope to see him here every time I visit. He has made my experience phenomenal not once, but twice in a row. If I could give him a raise myself, I would—but since I can’t, I sincerely hope someone in management sees this:

If anyone with the power to do so reads my review: please don’t overthink it—give this young man what he rightfully deserves, so he can continue to shine here. 🗣 “FOR EVA’, FOR EVA’ EVA’, FOR EVA’ EVA’ EVA’!”

I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for having such an incredible restaurant so close to home!“

“Un lugar hermoso para disfrutar de un desayuno delicioso y un ambiente acogedor. La dueña es increíblemente amable, y de verdad es una bendición encontrar espacios donde se ame a Dios tanto como uno. Es inspirador ver personas que trabajan con dedicación para el Reino de los Cielos. Si buscas un lugar donde puedas tener un momento de paz y calidez, este es el indicado. ¡Súper recomendado!“

“First time, and it was pretty decent. My husband got the combo breakfast burrito and i got the swiss combo burger that had avocado and bacon in it. It was pretty good. Came with onion rings also which was a shocker bc most places do not give you onion rings AND fries so that was awesome“

“Awesome place to come have drinks. The food is fantastic too so if you want a bit to eat, can’t go wrong.“

“Great service, large portions and wide variety of dishes!“

“This Juan Pollo is a great option when I'm in the mood for chicken. The cashier was very attentive and cared to explain their specials. The service was very prompt. I recommend the chicken, potato salad, rice, and mild salsa. They also have corn tortillas available.“

“The food was great especially the steak and the mashed potatoes. The view was wonderful, specially at night when the goats were working on mowing the lawn. The appetizers were great too. The salmon and cheese cake were OK. Wouldn’t get then again, but was part of the event. I did not liked that there was no water at the tables or where the sodas were. There was not hot water either to make a tea.“

“We patronized Pepper Steak restaurant recently for the first time. The food tasted authentic Mexican style. The food tasted just like my grandmother made it during my childhood years (and she is from Jalisco). My sister and mother also loved the food. We went a second time and we just loved the food. I would highly recommend this restaurant to any person. And finally, the attendants are very polite and helpful. Asking if “everything is fine” during our stay.“

“If I could I will give the customer service rating a 0 star rating. The food is great, but It was a very frustrating experience dealing with the lady serving as cashier today. She was very super unprofessional and lacked direct customer engagement by being on her phone texting, kissing her boyfriend, and not prioritizing the customer’s interaction with the order(s)I had to repeat myself all of times and felt genuinely unconsidered as if I wasn’t there.

(Edit) as of 7/30/25, this lady I mentioned no longer works here and the owner finally took responsibility and fired her or she willingly left. I'm giving them 5 stars for her disappearance. She doesn't represent the spirit and quality of The original Pizza House.“

“Staff was helpful kind and cheerful despite us showing up right at closing time. The food was hot and delicious, flavorful and in generous quantity. Basically perfect. It was cold outside and the food presented welcome respite. So so good!!“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“Delicious bbq spot!!! Yummm!!“

“The Smash burgers are exceptionally delicious. Fries and Onion rings were crispy as they should be. The establishment is extremely clean with a comfortable atmosphere. Our server, Tara was awesome. She's worked there since 2008. She certainly loves her job.“
