Arrived with a party of 4 and there was a short wait to get seated. There's about a total of 12 or so tables but it was moving at a decent pace. Unfortunately things went south from there. Got seated and the waiters were pretty fast and attentive. I had an early breakfast so decided to go with the lunch Patty Melt as it was a restaurant house specialty. Friends ordered the BBQ sandwich and Ragin Cajun. It took almost 30+ minutes for the food to come out and most of the meats came out very dried for some reason. The fries were fabulous though. Decor is very mountain diner-esque but clean and comfy. Maybe what we ordered was not exactly their specialty as I saw lots of people eating breakfast. But the lunch menu was just not it on Sunday sadly. Was so hungry from the long wait that I even forgot to take photos of my food.

The staff is always friendly, attentive, and really makes you feel like part of the community. The food is consistently great, but my absolute favorite is the brisket -- perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor every single time. And if you come on the weekend, the live band takes the whole experience to another level. Great music, great food, great people... it's the perfect combo. It's the ideal spot to relax after a long day, hang out with friends, or enjoy a good meal on the mountain. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop by. Highly recommended!

I loved the staff at Stockade Grub and Whiskey! It was a full house and we had a party of 5 but…read morethey did what they could to sit us down as fast as possible. We opted to sit outside and they turned on all of their outdoor heaters for us, even though we're were initially the only ones out there. It was a cold night but the heaters made it comfortable. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries. One of my friends ordered the bacon bbq burger with onion rings. We split these plates so we could both try two different dishes. I accidentally ordered a buffalo sauce instead of the bbq for my nuggets, and I was not a fan of the sauce. It was a dark sauce with too much smokiness to it. My friend ordered a side of bbq and that one was much better. The tenders are crispy and pair well with their bbq sauce or their ranch. The burger was also tasty. Fries were okay and I did not like their onion rings. They had a different taste to them. I couldn't put my finger on the flavor but it wasn't good in my opinion. My other friend ordered mozzarella sticks, and they were not good. No cheese pull, and it honestly tasted like moderately fried string cheese. The food took a really long time to come out. I know they were busy, but once the food came, we inhaled it because of how hungry we were. The vibes there are excellent though. We really enjoyed the music and the staff were fantastic. I still recommend making a pit stop here if you're ever in the Crestline area.

I wasn't prepared for that hahaha I was able to find a few things that were vegetarian friendly. My mom wanted nachos, and I wanted a cheese quesadilla. My dad was craving a burger. They had all of those. It was the perfect stop. There was some sort of street fair going on, so we grabbed our food and walked around the little town. Service was good. The restaurant isn't very big. They sure do whip up some good grub though! I can see why they have good reviews. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the mountain. Next time I go up, I will come back here.

Walking in yesterday, it was such a good-vibe, welcoming place. There was sunshine coming through the large windows and color all around. Our waitress was warm and welcoming as well as on top of our dining needs, even as it got busier. We 4, two of us being vegetarians, each found something delicious to enjoy. I got the BAT Omelette, which was generous with cheese, avocado, bacon, and as a delightful switch up, cherry and grape tomatoes. The presentation was a feast for the eyes, with its dainty and colorful flower petals on top. In fact, all dishes were beautifully presented. I ordered fruit instead of potatoes, which was enough to share. My mom found her bagel and lox delectable and a large enough portion to take 1/2 home. Friends found vegetarian enjoyment in the Goat omelette and the breakfast sammie. They were both well pleased with bellies full. All of us were happy brunchers ! As we dined, the place welcomed a steady stream of guests, both inside and out, which is furry best friend welcoming. So, on Sundays, come early.

We ordered the California Dog tater tots with garlic Parm and a peanut butter and jelly burger that was to die for everything.

My son had the Chevy Impala - a bacon cheeseburger with their awesome onion rings and bbq sauce. A MUST have at the Cedar Glen Malt Shop is their ice cream! They use THRIFTY's Ice cream!! Whether you go for their shakes, malts, reg ice cream or go big and get their Banana Royale (I did) or the banana split, you won't be disappointed or hungry! Another note worth mentioning, they offer a gracious Military discount. Just ask. Parking can be difficult to find especially right when they open. I've noticed people pretty much park wherever they can. This place is also very popular with the locals. Thank you Audrey & Candy for the great experience!

Service was quick and friendly...but the highlight was the food! Their homemade fries and perfectly battered onion rings were hot, fresh and tasty! The burgers were juicy and flavorful, but a tad on the greasy side - which was our only "negative". However, the real star of the show was their banana split! Our son had never had one before and this was the perfect banana split to set the bar! Not only was the presentation awesome, but the ice cream, banana and toppings all complimented each other perfectly (except I would say no sprinkles next time, not a fan of sprinkles). Their vanilla malt was creamy and perfect as well! Cedar Glen Malt Shop is definitely a solid diner to get your burger, malt/shake fix!

I don't recommend this food truck for a large company lunch in, maybe if the crowd was small, which at this point was small because only one department was out, maybe they would be able to manage better.

The basket of fries were $12 dollars and was about the worst fries I've had. Zero salt or any flavor. The brisket sandwich and the rack of ribs were also dry and had no taste. (Flavor) I ordered a beer which they were out of then changed my choice which the waitress came back and told me they're out of that one too so I just ordered a Coke which never came so I had to ask her for it again. The waitress wasn't that bad though she tried. The fact that our bill was $80 dollars for one beer, one coke, fries, pork rinds, and a brisket sandwich was insane. The pork rinds were from the store bag with seasoning on them. Literally the only thing that had seasoning. Basically this place was not worth it and I don't understand how someone would go more than once. Will never come back to this place and I hope this helps both a person interested in going and also the people who work here. Our whole party was dissatisfied with this place and saw why it was so slow on a Sunday afternoon.
