Started our date with lunch at The Lakefront Taproom Bar & Kitchen, enjoying delicious food with an amazing view of the lake.

1/5 -- Would absolutely not return…read more I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars for the food. This was easily one of the worst meals my family and I have had in a very long time. We drove up from Riverside to spend the day at Lake Arrowhead Village and enjoy Oktoberfest. We asked a local where we should eat and ended up giving Lakefront Tap Room a try. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. First, I want to make something VERY clear: our waitress, Sam, was fantastic. She was extremely nice, friendly, attentive, and treated my family great. My one star has absolutely nothing to do with her. If I were rating Sam, she'd get five stars. The FOOD, however, was horrible. My fish and chips were probably the only halfway decent thing at the table. I also ordered two margaritas. They were extremely small and, for what you're paying, nothing special whatsoever. But my daughter's cheeseburger was what really did it for me. My daughter is 15, blind, and an extremely picky eater, so we intentionally order her food as simple as possible: bun, meat, cheese, and Thousand Island. That's it. We're talking about a basic cheeseburger. What came out looked terrible. The bun was extremely dry and there was hardly any Thousand Island on it. I asked another waiter for a side of Thousand Island, and he brought me a little cup of some watery brownish-orange liquid. I honestly don't know what it was supposed to be. It had the consistency of water and looked nothing like any Thousand Island dressing I've ever seen. My daughter took ONE tiny bite of her burger and immediately wanted nothing more to do with it. I don't blame her. We pushed the basically untouched burger to the edge of the table and told our waitress we didn't want it. Then we were told they'd take about TWO DOLLARS off the bill because she didn't like her $20+ burger. Seriously? My wife's patty melt wasn't any better. It was overcooked, the bread was extremely hard, and overall it was just bad. For the prices this restaurant charges, the quality of the food was completely unacceptable. Being in a beautiful location overlooking Lake Arrowhead doesn't make up for serving terrible food at tourist prices. Again, Sam was awesome. I actually feel bad leaving one star because she did such a good job, but I'm reviewing the restaurant and the food we paid for, not just our waitress. We will absolutely NEVER eat here again. There are plenty of other places to spend your money at Lake Arrowhead Village. I strongly suggest choosing one of them.

Really disappointing experience. We completely understand that the power went out and that Wi-Fi…read moreissues can happen, but the way the situation was handled was frustrating. We had already waited about 45 minutes and were second on the waiting list when everything basically came to a stop. What made it worse was the attitude from the woman working up front. Instead of being understanding or communicating clearly with customers who had already been waiting, she came across as rude and dismissive. Meanwhile, other surrounding businesses were already back up and running. Unexpected outages happen, but a busy restaurant should have some type of backup plan or process for situations like this, especially when customers have already been waiting that long. We were looking forward to eating here, but the lack of preparation and customer service made the experience extremely disappointing.

The Corvette and the Peanut Butter Malt!!!…read more If you're anywhere near the mountains, do yourself a favor and stop by Cedar Glen Malt Shop. This was hands down one of the best burgers and malts I've ever had. The burger was fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite tasted like it was made with care instead of rushed out of the kitchen. Then came the malt, thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect classic pairing with an already incredible burger. One of the coolest touches is how they name many of their burgers after classic cars. It's a fun, nostalgic theme that fits the old-school malt shop atmosphere and gives the menu a personality you don't see very often. Great food, friendly service, and a unique experience make this place well worth the drive. I'll definitely be coming back to work my way through the rest of those "car" burgers. Highly recommended!

I came here as a family of five, and overall enjoyed our experience…read more Service was overall friendly, very good and quick. However, I had to ask for one or two things multiple times. The kids meal was adorable and came in a cardboard 50 style car. If you're gonna order the macaroni and cheese, just be aware that it takes a little longer to cook compared to everything else, but it comes out hot. However, the noodles are slightly overcooked. The fish and chips are made with cod and I highly recommend. Very crispy and hot. You get three fairly generous pieces per order. The thing that really makes this place shine are there milkshakes and malts. We offered to upgrade the kids beverage to a peanut butter chocolate milkshake for a very affordable price and served as dessert for the whole table. This place is no-frills, but very family friendly. There were lots of families there. For napkins, they had a giant roll of paper towels on every table. The bathrooms were fairly clean.

Just show up before 7:45 pm (last call for seating). The food is very freshly made and is pretty good for a buffet. The kitchen staff will accommodate you if you have any dietary restrictions. Beverages and desserts are included in the price. And the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's so nice to have a low stress dining option onsite. Plus, there is a bar and tavern in the back if you want something smaller. Tip for dinner: save room for dessert. It's a small selection, but hits the spot for post dinner treat. Tip for breakfast: don't wait until the end of the dining time to get what you want from the buffet, the staff starts clearing the buffet items about 15-20 minutes before last seating and they won't refill some items.

12/14/25 For our…read morelast stay at Postcard Cabins, we were in the Lake Arrowhead area looking for a spot to eat outdoors. It was pretty chilly so we wanted a restaurant that at least had an outdoor heater. Most of the places we walked by didn't have an outdoor heater. We walked by Sunsets Island Bar and Grill. Zach went in to ask if we could eat inside with Coco and they said yes! In my head I was already giving them 5 stars for allowing us inside with Coco. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We didn't even need to ask for a water bowl for Coco since they got brought right away. Here's what we got: - Pupu platter (share) - Huli huli chicken (mine) - Mushroom ravioli (his) - Ube cheesecake (dessert to share) The pupu platter was very good. The fried pieces weren't TOO fried thankfully. They were perfectly crunchy and hot. The huli huli chicken was very tender. The mango bits contrasted well with the chicken and the veggies. The ravioli was really good too and they give you a lot. The ube cheesecake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and even Zach liked it and he doesn't like to eat dessert ever. Overall, this was probably our best meal during our time here. I would definitely recommend coming here because the staff are friendly, the vibes are great and the food is fantastic.

I don't leave negative reviews lightly, but this was, without question, one of the worst restaurant…read moreexperiences our family has ever had. The evening started with our reservation being "lost." In hindsight, we should have taken that as our cue to leave. Instead, we stayed, and unfortunately everything went downhill from there. Service was painfully slow. It took approximately 45 minutes just to receive water, over an hour for our drinks, and nearly two hours before our food arrived. By the time dinner finally came, we were beyond hungry. The food was even more disappointing than the wait. The "grilled cheese" looked like it was made with individually wrapped processed American cheese slices--and somehow, after nearly two hours, the cheese wasn't even melted. I ordered the branzino expecting a delicate, flaky white fish with lemon. Instead, it arrived so overcooked and dry that lifting it with a fork brought up the entire fish in one piece. It had the texture of fish jerky. The zucchini alongside it was cold and had the unmistakable texture of previously frozen vegetables. My son ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. They were bland, dry, and overcooked. He's the least picky eater in our family and wouldn't eat them. Ironically, the only edible dish on the table was my husband's Huli Huli chicken--which the rest of us ended up sharing because we'd waited so long and were starving. Our server was kind, but we saw her only a handful of times during what became a two-and-a-half-hour dinner. To make matters worse, I woke up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach after eating only a couple bites of the fish. Given our experience, I genuinely struggle to reconcile it with so many glowing reviews. Save yourself the time, the money, and the frustration. There are far better places to spend an evening.

This place is a winner in my book. Excellent food that is served by nice people, makes Diane's hard to beat. We only need to bring volume level the live music down a bit, to a more comfortable level for conversation, which is a simple fix, and I rate it 10 out of 10. I will definitely return to try something else from their extensive menu.

As we walked in on a Friday night for dinner without a reservation, we were barely greeted by a…read morehostess, with apathy written all over her demeanor. No problem, the spectrum of hospitality can be wide. Do not be fooled by the pictures, the food is mid, at best. I ordered the lamb chops, flavor was good, but the lamb was dry and tough, which I had ordered medium. The French onion soup was good, but came out just above room temperature. Soups like this should be piping hot when served, as it can become cold pretty quickly. I had to ask the server to please heat it up. They also forgot the mint jelly for the chops, which I reminded them about, and which also came out frigidly cold. How can I put cold jelly on a hot meat. They give you a small portion of mashed potatoes, which were also dry. The vegetables barely had any flavor to them. My partner ordered the duck, which was not too bad. The rice was ordinary, and the veggies, as stated before were boring and bland. There was no excitement to the food. The dirty martinis were pretty good. Highly disappointed in the food. for the price, they do not live up to the quality that should be coming out of the kitchen. If you're looking for gourmet that actually is worth the price range, I recommend Stone Creek Bistro in Blue Jay, which is about ten minutes away. Never again!

Last Wednesday, My family wanted to eat here, when we entered it was super clean inside & so were there restrooms, highly organized & with attention to details. As we walked in there so much details to this restaurant half boats inside to make this restaurant super cool, anything with water is up here. The atmosphere here was super friendly, warm, classy, chic, elegant. There is seating inside, outside, and at the bar too! with breathtaking views at the lake! When you order you have to order & pay at the bar, then they will give you a number, where ever you would like to be seated & bring out the foods. Last Wednesday Rochelle Kinny was our server/cashier she asked if we had any questions & answered them all beautifully! They shareables, tacos, fresh salads, burgers, sandwiches, kids menu, weekly brunch, signature cocktails, wine, margaritas, shooters, draft beers, they also have soda and other drink s Dispensing machines! So we ordered : 2 Fish & Chips, kids meal: chicken tenders, Chicken Cesar wrap, crispy buffalo chicken with onion rings. Their price points are spot on! Rochelle was so super sweet, caring, kind, super polite & very down to earth, very genuine! Rochelle has this super upbeat positive energy about herself that really radiates! As we were waiting Cody gave us all of food & asked us if we needed anything so sweet of him! Everything was delicious & with a great view! I would especially love to thank Rochelle & Cody for a fantastic & memorable visit! I would like to Thank Jetties Waterfront Kitchen & Drink for a wonderful visit! I'll definitely be back here again! I'll tell all my Family & Friends to come and visit!

Has both a family atmosphere and smaller nooks for a date as well. We've been here with about 20 people and have been able to move tables around together to be seated quickly. Also, if you bring your dog, there is a patio for you to eat and enjoy the lake view. You order and pay at the bar with the bartender and overall, it's a pretty smooth experience. My family loves coming here.

Very small restaurant so highly recommend getting a reservation. We tried many items from the menu. I really liked the steak tartare which tasted of truffle and loved that they had different things to add on top as well. It was really good steak and not at all chewy. The soup du jour was a creamy caramelized onion soup which was decadent and so good. For my entree I got the seafood pot which I liked but wasn't obsessed with. The curry was very thin and the seafood felt a bit overcooked for me. But the taste was good, just wish the curry was a thicker paste than a liquid soup texture. My family all loved their entrees and said the quality of their various steak dishes was remarkable. The waitress was so kind as well. Would love to come back next time I'm in town!

Stone Creek Bistro is the premier dining destination in Lake Arrowhead. I learned from their…read morewebsite that the bistro was established in 2013 and their menu is moderately priced with a mix of Southern American comfort food and traditional French bistro cuisine created with passion by Chef Sam Perry. Reservations are recommended before visiting. There is limited parking along State Highway 189, so plan accordingly especially during peak hours. I started my meal with a craft beer and a half order of the Grilled Caesar. There are a number of quality starters and entrees to choose from but after asking for a recommendation from our server, I settled on the Spicy Thai Basil Spaghetti. I also was fortunate to have the opportunity to try the steak Tartare. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and well-crafted with fresh ingredients, and it made for an overall great meal. The ambience is cozy and the staff is also attentive. It's no wonder Stone Creek Bistro is so popular! I'll def be back the next time I'm in Arrowhead.

TL;DR: be prepared for a wait. great service and probably the best breakfast in town?…read more Came on a Thursday morning and were surprised to see a wait. Put our name down and had to wait ~30min which was fine since we just window-shopped the nearby shops Ordered: - Corned beef hash (4.5/5): delicious flavor but wish there was a bigger portion of corned beef especially when compared to the hash brown. tip: ask for a hard fry to get extra texture - short stack pancakes (3/5): pancake texture was alright but not particularly special. Being covered in whipped cream doesn't help. Decent value though if you're fueling up Would definitely come back if we're back in town Cheers, Villager Coffee!
