My husband and I have kept driving by this spot as it was being built out and wondering when it would officially open. I'm sooo excited to see it's a drive-thru still AND offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. The lines have been wild since it opened a few days ago, and of course they are experiencing some opening week issues, but all things considered I'm really impressed -- the staff were super friendly and organized, the prices are on par, and the food was tasty (and likely only to get better as they get more comfortable with their peak customer times, etc.) For all those complaining -- keep in mind this is their first week, give them a break and support your local community members bringing small businesses to life in this sleepy mountain town. read more

Blue Jay Burger - Burgers and fries. Good deal! - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

The food is overpriced, they serve your food to you in a bag as if they don't want you to eat at the location, and there is a sign saying "under new management" but no different in the service. read more

The short version is, Blue Jay Burgers uses extremely low quality ingredients even compared to similar restaurants down in San Bernardino. I am giving two stars only because it provides a lot of food per order and the drive-through staff was very nice. I got the Blue Jay Special Breakfast Platter. The two hash brown patties were quite greasy and seemed to be the discount restaurant supply brand one buys when one doesn't want to pay a little extra for Ore-Ida. Referring to my photo, the scrambled eggs underneath the hash browns had been cooked in far too much oil and were scorched. Also under there were two of the lowest-grade sausage patties I have ever had the displeasure of eating. They reminded me of school cafeteria food; weird flavor with lots of gristle chunks. The bacon shared that odd flavor similar to McDonald's bacon even though Blue Jay Burgers' is much larger and thicker. The only saving grace were the odd-looking white pancakes which were fairly fluffy and tasty. The little woman had the Triple Pig Breakfast Burger which has two sausage patties, bacon, chorizo, cheese, and a fried egg with roasted garlic aioli. Sounds like a flavor bomb, doesn't it? It wasn't. The chorizo and cheese were completely overwhelmed by everything else, especially the sausage and bacon that I have already described. On one hand, I hate leaving a bad review especially for a restaurant in the San Bernardino Mountains where, even in the best of times, they have such a hard time succeeding. On the other, I must admit I feared Blue Jay Burgers would copy the habits of the other three mountain restaurants to which it has either a direct or indirect relation. They too have a reputation for inconsistent cooking and low-quality ingredients. I had hoped they would up their game for a burger stand with a limited menu. I'm sorry to say that is not the case. I simply cannot recommend this restaurant at this time. read more

I wanted to give this place more stars, but they ran out of food on the first day open. What we got was pretty good though, so hopefully they get their act together and step up. Will update soon. read more

Tacquitos are delicious! The only drive through in the neighborhood! Fast and courteous.

Ordered online 12/22/23 from their menu. 5.99 For a burger French fries 2.50. Cool. Ordered for 4 people . Was very surprised when $50 barely covered it.(49.07) The burgers went up to 8.99 . THEY NEED TO UPDATE THE WEBSITE. Was also surprised that the cook was not wearing any sort of gloves while he was handling the food. Food was not bad but doubt probably will not go back. read more

It's just not good!! It was pretty good when they first opened but quickly went down hill imo. Cold inconsistent food. read more

This place is magical. Somehow it turns the process of making a simple burger, which should be easy without any special effort and always be at least a good result, into the worst tiny handful of garbage food ever. Worst Burger I've ever had in last 10 lifetimes! ( Do the math) read more

They are expensive and the food is not very good. We've tried it several times and are always disappointed. Many better options available.

Last time we came here, I said never again, and here we are again. Pulled a nice long hair out of my daughters fries, and check out the bun on my chicken sandwich read more

I have had great food from Blue Jay Burgers! The Burgers are nice and juicy. They come with a tasty sauce and the cheese is melted! They will add grilled onions on request and the onion rings are fabulous! I went at 11:30 so everything was fresh and had to wait a little bit of time. Wonderful customer service. read more

Burgers and fries were great will continue and go to that spot while at lake Arrowhead

VEGETARIANS AVOID! In my lifelong experience as a vegetarian, I have never encountered a burger joint that wouldn't make me a grilled cheese, or a "cheeseburger, hold the burger," but this place refused. To add insult to injury, the person behind the register tried to tell me they wouldn't make me a grilled cheese because "the Health Department wouldn't allow it." HUH????? "Because then we'd be charging you for meat you didn't get." WHY WOULD THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT CARE? Are you kidding me? My plan was to get a nice grilled cheese (I don't like Impossible burgers), a shake, and some onion rings, but I was so annoyed by their refusal to melt a slice of cheese on a hamburger bun for me that I walked out. HRUMMMFFF! read more

Food is terrible they need to make a better burger omg and the fry's are terrible too

We've eaten at Blue Jay Burger 3 times in the past and we've only been disappointed...but we decided to give it one more chance. What a huge mistake. In a word the burgers are...horrible. They apparently use the lowest quality meat available, consisting primarily of some sort of gelatinous filler. The burger patty appears to be boiled or steamed with only the slightest grill mark around the edge. The bun was hard and the veggies lackluster, the whole thing being devoid of flavor. The french fries are just ok and the iced tea tastes packaged, definitely not fresh brewed. The only thing good was the Diet Coke, kinda hard to mess that up. Bye bye Blue Jay Burger...never again. read more

I'm visiting family and stopped here. I just paid ten dollars for four beef and cheese flautas that didn't have any beef and barely any filling at all! An accurate description would be fried tortillas topped with cheese! I honestly didn't see a single piece of meat in even one flauta. There were some refried beans but maybe a total of 1teaspoon for all four flautas. I really feel like I was ripped off and won't give this business my money anymore. The last time I came here I waited a very long time for a chocolate shake only to get a vanilla shake. I brought that back in and they made me another one with hardly any chocolate. Every experience here has been negative. I'm done with this place. I feel physically sick now as well. The flautas were disgusting read more

I've been here three times over the last two years, somehow hoping it will be better but always leave disappointed. I really wanted to like this place, but the issue is the food every time. Service is always fast and straightforward. Milkshake is always solid, but burgers and onion rings always seem like they were made yesterday and re-heated. Chicken sandwich and fries are OK, but honestly McDonald's is better. I don't have a problem paying the convenience upcharge and I get that restaurant prices have all gone up, but I expect good food. My family asked if we could not get food here in the future, and I sadly have to agree. read more

I Ordered a Classic burger with a Beyond patty. I took a bite out of it and realised there was bacon on it. I looked on the receipt and it said "classic burger add bacon sub Beyond patty". Who would order a vegetarian burger patty and add meat?? I haven't eaten meat for 15 years until now. I'm sure they're very tasty but please get your orders right , especially for vegetarians. We already arrived home with the order so it was too late to exchange. So disheartening. read more

Blue Jay Burger - the receipt for the restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

Let's just say the reviews reflect and I tried to give them a chance. I was starving and could only take two bites out of the Hawaiian burger before losing my appetite. Even the bun looked and felt microwaved. AM/PM gas station food is better. Even the churros were absolute trash. Just close your doors and sell this piece of land to someone who cares about their reputation. It's an absolute sin to charge more than $1 for anything here. Even David Goggins would tell y'all to give up. Dj Khaled too. read more

I remember when this place opened it was new and exciting, the last few times I had a Cowboy Burger it was pretty bad stale bun, onion ring inside the burger was rock hard. Not sure what you need to do to make an onion ring so stale that a human can not possibly eat it. Won't be going back, what a shame. read more

Burgers are pretty bad (flavorless patties cooked way too much) but fries are awesome. Onion rings now great either. In a pinch, not a bad place especially since you can drive through but you just have to know what to get.. do yourself a favor - just get a bunch of fries and skip the rest. read more

If there was an option for 0 stars i would choose that. Lousy service, took 20 minutes for our food to be served and when it came out they got our order wrong. Disappointed! Never coming back!!! read more

You guys started out with a bang. Great food great service. And now your messing up orders and undercooking the food what happen? Last time I'm going read more

Blue Jay Burger - Under cooked patty didn't realized it until I only had two bits left gross . That is not medium well that is medium rare - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

This place was GREAT when they first opened. Unfortunately they went downhill quickly. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt each of my last three trips. First was a messed up order, and food had gotten somewhat bland. Next order was correct but food was totally bland and definitely not fresh. Finally, third fail, the whole family ordered Cowboy meals; two with French fries, two with onion rings. (All I really wanted was onion rings, since my burger experience with them had gone so far south). They skipped ALL the onion rings. Not only the two orders with the combo, but on all four Cowboy burgers too. (Hey BJB geniuses, without the onion rings, it just became a regular hamburger). $55 for burgers and fries. Pffffft McDonalds has better tasting food these days. If I could give these guys less than a star I definitely would. read more

Horrible experience. They ran out of side order French fries and onion rings by 6:30pm. They didn't even bother to make sure to have enough onion rings for the Cowboy BBQ burger even though we were told at ordering that the burger would have one for sure. That burger also barely had any bbq sauce and the bacon was almost laughable. The double cheeseburgers were missing pickles and barely had any sauce on them. The drinks were also way too small, especially for the price. As a local I was really hoping this place wouldn't be a disaster and was looking forward to having a drive-thru again. Not sure if we'll give it a second try because what they actually weren't out of wasn't very good anyway. read more

Blue Jay Burger - Not exactly as described is putting it nicely. This Cowboy BBQ Burger had onion ring and this was the bbq sauce and bacon. - Burgers Near Me - Blue Jay, California

I was so excited to try this new place... waited only 20 min or so in drive through and it was a pretty long line so that was ok... but NOT impressed... Jalapeño burger was tasty but nothing super, fries are good but they really skimp on quantity, and literally the WORST shake I've ever had, ridiculously thin/runny and only like 2/3rds full. I'd rather pay about the same amount and drive twice as far to the Cedar Glen Malt Shop. And they have no kids menu... so I had to order full size items for toddlers. read more

We love the burgers and chicken sandwiches here. And the fries and shakes get 5 stars! The drive thru is fast and they come out if the line gets too long. Service has always been very polite and swift. It's our go-to burger place in Blue Jay! read more

First off I want to say that I support small business all the way. Hopefully management/ownership sees this and is able to take some constructive criticism. This one is very simple. You cannot serve burgers with out having fresh meat on them. As soon as I got my order through the drive-thru, I noticed right away that the burger meat patty had been sitting there for a while and was just reheated. The meet was hard, and was extremely overcooked. I'm guessing they cook a certain amount of patties before lunchtime, and they have them just sitting there in the warmer. I promise you, that if you make the customer wait an extra couple minutes to get fresh good tasting food nobody will complain. If that meat was fresh, the burger probably would've been fantastic. The fries were good, and the burger has potential, but you cannot serve old meat that's been sitting around under a heat lamp or warmer, customers will be able to tell every single time if that burger is fresh or not. I hope this helps and you change protocol a bit, make us customers wait a little bit for fresh food, nobody will complain about it I promise you! read more

Amazing, 10/10 would recommend my family loved the burrito was so good all the burgers so delicious family favorite now.

This place deserves a better rating that it has! Good quality burgers and great fries. Our family of four all give it a thumbs up. The drive-thru is convenient and reasonably quick given that this is a step above typical fast food. Crispy fries with good seasoning. The buns they use are very good. read more

Not much to say. The burgers were ok. The fries were good but the burger was nothing special.

1st time customer today - - - - I am sorry to post this .. but it was "average food" 2.5stars .. does NOT get my business again .. sad.. other burger places with BETTER FOOD for the money .. they know there are other choices - so why not make their food EXCITING - MEMORABLE .. BETTER than the rest ... they are avg - I prefer exciting choices - - hope this helps read more

I wanted Bluejay burger for my birthday because the last time I got it a few months back it was really good. I don't know if they're under new management or what's going on, but I got a California burrito for myself a double cheeseburger for my wife and a regular cheeseburger for my son. The burrito was extremely greasy the cheese inside of it when I took a bite was hard like as if it had been sitting overnight and then my wife and son's burgers were undercooked and raw. So, I drove all the way back to return it and get my money back and the guys there questioned me and made me sit through them, opening it and questioning me and acting like there was nothing wrong with the food and I eventually got to the point where I told them that I don't know how long you guys have been in customer service industry, but it's extremely unprofessional to sit here and make me go through all this after I already am upset and had to drive back for the food. I'll never be eating there again. read more

Got two burger meals one of the cheeseburger and the bbq burger both were excellent! Cheeseburger was exactly what you would want from a fast food burger, nice bun tasty meat. Bbq burger they forgot to put bacon which it was supposed to include but the onion rings were the perfect crunch and delicious in the burger. The fries are thick but crispy and seasoned lightly. So excited to have another fast food restaurant up here. First two weeks of there opening, it's gonna take some time to get things perfect as a new restaurant so give some leeway. read more

We have gotten burgers here several times and have been very satisfied. However, we used the drive through to order a couple of cheeseburgers tonight and were disappointed. When I got home, I found that we got regular burgers, not cheeseburgers even though we paid for them. Beyond that, the burgers were dry and just kind of blah. Maybe they were just having a bad night. I hope they do better next time. read more

Best place to go to for a great burger honestly. All I complained about was there was no baby chairs for my son to sit but other than that very delicious food read more

It's a very nice place, been there 2 times during vacation. They got really good burgers and one of the best fries I've tried. All my friends also liked the place and the food. Definitely recommend it! read more

I wanted to give this place another chance after the first negative experience. Unfortunately it was more of the same. The burger was cold and tasted like it had been sitting there for a long period of time. read more

I've been here 5+ times and each time my food has been cold. Burger, chicken sandwich, fries, they all taste like cafeteria food that's been sitting under a warmer for hours on end. Once we went back to ask for fresh fries, and they came back with the same exact ones that were cold, just in a new bag. I have no idea why I've gone so many times, I guess it's because I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and support a local burger place, but come on. Every time the same issue? Also, every time I've gone through a drive through, no one is ever friendly. Not even once. Such bad vibes here. We've lived up here for 8 years and this is the worst burger place on the mtn and we won't be back. read more
