Big Bear Lake is a small city in San Bernardino County, California, located in the San Bernardino Mountains along the south shore of Big Bear Lake, and surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest. The city is located about 25 miles (40 km) northeast of the city of San Bernardino, and immediately west of the unincorporated town of Big Bear City. The population was approximately 5,019 at the 2010 census, down from 5,438 at the 2000 census.

North Shore Cafe

Scratch restaurant well known for freshly prepared food with quality ingredients. Indoor and outside patio seating. Menus are available on the restaurant website.

Reviewed By Cynthia A - Sierra Madre, California

Went here for breakfast with a friend and her dog, quaint outdoor patio. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. They have some southwest specials and I ordered the breakfast burrito. I somehow managed to eat the whole thing. My friend got an omelet that was huge and she somehow managed to polish it off too.

Amangela's Sandwich and Bagel House

Reviewed By Lisa P - San Diego, California

We visited at about 1 p.m. on a Saturday. The line was all the way from the counter to the door. It took probably 20 minutes to get to the counter and place our order, and then another 20 or more minutes to get our food. Our lunches arrived without any utensils or napkins; we had to request them at the counter. The sandwiches are very tasty and unique, however, I'm not sure I would wait that long again.

Copper Q

Reviewed By Stacy A - Los Angeles, California

This was a great place to stop and grab some dessert for everyone in my party. From classics like tiramisu (which was fabulous) and chocolate chip cookies to apple pie cake, there is something in these glass cases for everyone. Great spot in town to hang out too; right in the middle of the Village.

Restaurant was busy which is always a good sign. We received a friendly welcome and did not have to wait long for a table. Pleasant and efficient service plus delicious food which was nicely presented.
We shall be pleased to recommend the Peppercorn - and indeed the remarkable Big Bear resort when we return to England.

The people here are really nice, period. We come up from LA to get away from the traffic, noise and smog. Stater Bros has the nicest folks of the two major markets in BB. Small town feel from the folks here.

It's pretty much tradition that I stop here and have an ice cream cone with family when I'm up in Big Bear. I love this little shop. The service is always friendly. This last time I went (Sept 2016), we got 10% off with our Saucy Mama's receipt. Stop by and have some ice cream!

572 Social Kitchen and Lounge

Reviewed By Colleen Irish K - Colorado Springs, United States

Looks lovely and the menu selections are varied and sound good. The outside seating was fun-looking but the heaters leave one cold. The greeting staff and wait staff are cheerful and enthusiastic. I had been referred there by the nearby Christmas ornament shop owner, and I though I was on my way to another restaurant, being cold, I stayed. I had a hard time choosing between 3 entrees, but chose the piccata chicken. I had been told by the friendly waitress that it came with mashed potatoes and I was looking forward to that, but it came with penne pasta instead which I had not chosen - if I had known of the penne (not a favorite) I would not have added the side of mac & cheese which was ho hum (would NOT order again). The garlic bread accents were good. The side of mixed vegetables consisted of two asparagus spears and one half a roasted small tomato. The chicken was too salty to eat topside so I cut off the bottom and fed it to my dog. Not a great experience for me but others looked like they were having a good time.
