We stopped by this little restaurant on our way out of Big Bear, and it had such a cute, cozy, homey feel. We were seated right away, and everyone working there was so sweet and welcoming! The menu is HUGE. There were so many options that we honestly had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up going with the Fiesta skillet, and it was so good that I completely forgot to take a picture before eating. By the time I remembered, my food was basically gone! Overall, such a cute and cozy little cafe with great service and plenty of options. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in Big Bear again! read more

Country kitchen is a place that didn't pop up on my search bar. I had to scroll for a little bit because it is about a mile down the road from all of the typical restaurants. The food was very good, numbers of little changes and things, and the waiter was incredibly accommodating and nice It feels good to actually be a customer and actually get served instead of people that pretend that they are doing Anton a favor by letting me eat it. I prefer this place over grizzly Manor and the munchies place in town. They have my recommendation. read more

Great Food, Low Prices (especially for locals), Excellent service....always friendly. Never an empty coffee cup.

Came here for the first time and wish we had stopped by here sooner. Unlike the Grizzly Manor cafe, the atmosphere is much more homely/cozy and not as loud. Really great food, amazing service (thanks Eman) and clearly a locals hangout which is nice to see. Parking lot was full when we got here but we didn't have to wait. Plenty of seating. Pancakes and biscuits + gravy were a hit. We like everything we had in our group of four. Highly recommend and also love that this is away from the busy village. read more

Came here for breakfast on Memorial Day weekend, got there early and good thing because there was a long wait after we sat down. It's a cute small cafe and very family friendly. Service was a little slow and for being so packed there wasn't many servers. Coffee tasted very watery and our Food did take a while which is the reason I knocked off a star. I ordered the chicken fried chicken and it was delicious! It came with a huge pancake and that was also delicious and so good! My hubby ordered the meatloaf which he said was ok but the mash potatoes were inedible. They tasted and looked like they were powdered from a box. Our friends had the chicken steak and regular breakfast and they really enjoyed their meal too. Good place for breakfast. read more

Came here for breakfast one morning while visiting Big Bear Lake and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It's a little distance from the main strip and it has a decent size parking lot. Kate was our waitress and she was a joy to deal with. Very helpful and in addition to taking our order, she gave us some visitor recommendations for our weekend. I was so impressed with the food and menu. Very unique items on the menu and reasonably priced for the large portion size that they give you. I had the Cordon Bleu crepes and my friend had the Santa Fe skillet. Both were delicious. We'll definitely come back here on our next visit. read more

Country Kitchen - Breakfast - New American Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

Breakfast at Country Kitchen was in full swing when we arrived -- the kind of morning bustle where coffee cups clink, servers move at a near-balletic pace, and the scent of bacon does most of the marketing. Sad to see its doors have closed permanently. THE FOOD. - Bacon Avocado Ranch Omelette. A generous fold of eggs packed with applewood-smoked bacon and Swiss, brightened by fresh slices of avocado and capped with a drizzle of house-made ranch. Indulgent, yes -- but with just enough freshness to keep it honest. - Farm Skillet. A hearty plate designed to silence even the loudest of appetites: two eggs any style perched over a bed of seasoned hash browns, mingling with chopped sausage, onion, and green peppers. Rustic, filling, and satisfying. THE DRINK. - Coffee. Bold and much needed after a night of drinking. THE PARKING. The restaurant offered a generous surface lot that stretched out behind the building. Free, easy, and refreshingly unremarkable. read more

The food is delicious! Faith and Rosey always take excellent care of us. They are so friendly. They did everything we asked to accommodate our request. We have gone several times and tried multiple dishes and everything is amazing. We highly recommend trying the pancakes. Yum! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! By far, the absolute BEST food at Big Bear Lake! Ask for Ernesto when you go. He went out of his way to make everything wonderful for us! Also worth mentioning, it's the cleanest restaurant around. (Seriously, everywhere else was just sticky and gross. Not here! This restaurant actually understands the assignment). The hash browns were amazing! Fresh cooked. The eggs were perfect. True "farm fresh". The chicken fried steak was perfectly cooked. The bacon omelette was out of this world delicious! The pancakes nice and fluffy. Oh, and super yummy biscuits and gravy! Very reasonably priced. Great atmosphere. And again, the BEST service in town! Can't wait to come back! "Thank you, Ernesto for your warm hospitality!" read more

The cheese curds and potato soup are fantastic. The salads are always crisp and cold. The chicken fried steak is is savory and flavorful. A Hugh shout out to Ernesto, and Rosie. Two of the strongest servers I've experienced in a while. Two exceptional servers under one roof. I really appreciate the customer service and kindness they both offer. This is a clean, homey place that feels like home. They have windows that show a beautiful view while you eat. read more

The server Rosie was great! The place was cozy and comfortable. She was very helpful on with questions and recommendations. I checked yelp and didn't see steak and eggs and she was correct, it was delicious. I should have taken the pic before I started eating lol read more

Food looks very presentable. The restaurant is well maintained and the staff were very kind. The food just didn't taste good. The hash browns were cold and the sausages had an unfamiliar sausage taste. I'm someone that can pick up on weird smells and this place had a very weird old smell. It's smelled like dirty clothes and cigarettes. I just couldn't get over that smell. I honestly should have left. It impacted our meal. It's a chain restaurant and not particularly like that either. I'm surprised so many people have this place such a high rating. Maybe if it smelled like a diner I wouldn't be so grossed out. read more

Cute place in the inside. A lot cuter than some of the Country Kitchen we have been to. The server was friendly as well as the rest of the staff. I order the ribs and fries and my husband ordered a breakfast skillet.Both were very good and satisfying We will be back when we come and visit Big Bear ! read more

The food is wonderful! But the server Faith makes the visit wonderful! She makes sure you are well taken care of!

Food was perfect. Hashbrowns, pancakes, eggs, bacon. Pitcher of farmers coffee on the table. Great classic restaurant feel.

We came here this morning for breakfast. Rosie was our waitress, she did a fantastic job. We had steak, eggs and pancakes, it was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. We got the eggs over easy, it was not overly runny and the yoke was just runny enough to soak your bread into. The pancakes were big and fluffy enough for 4 people. Rosie's service was excellent. She was very attentive and even gave me a to go hot tea! I would highly recommend this restaurant with Rosie as your server. read more

Great food, great service. Felt like home. Faith was very helpful and kind. Price were good. Definitely will come back.

My fiance and I were looking for a brunch place before we leave Big Bear after a long yet fun weekend. We found this place online and look like a good old fashioned diner, it wasn't exactly what we expected, but it did have all of the traditional basic foods that you would find at a Denny's or franchise diner. I would say their quality is a tad bit better than denny's, but not that hole in the wall authentic tasty cozy hearty breakfast we were expecting. Overall I did enjoy their food, I definitely would recommend this place for brunch. They don't advertise it well online, but it is Cash only! They do have an ATM located inside. read more
