great burgers John Wayne was the best burger ever. the also sell the best cotton candy.

The food here is delicious! We came into town late in the day and were looking for somewhere laid back and casual. The seating area is so cute with the murals on the walls and old school diner-feel. The food was so good. The wasabi ranch with the onion rings is *chefs kiss* we will be back! Staff was super friendly too. read more

****update!!**** --- shortly after posting this review, we were contacted by the owner, who was very upset about the things that we had stated. He was very saddened that we had had the type of experience that we had thus far. We called him back the next day and spoke with him. He was very, very nice very kind and very apologetic. We discussed coming back to the store and trying it again. He even offered to meet us there to ensure that we had a positive experience. On our last day we decided to have get the burger for dinner and finally see what all the excitement was about. We did not reach out to the owner that happened to walk in and we're greeted by the most amazing gentleman named Hal. How was sweet and kind very helpful and choked back-and-forth with us the entire time he ensure that we got everything we wanted and even threw in some extra stuff because he was being sweet. And we happen to ask if he was the owner and he chuckled and said no I'm not but that's his wife and so I introduced myself and I explained that my son and I were the ones who left the review and she went oh wow and then came over to our table where we were sitting, took our receipt and proceeded to runoff with the receipt where she looked at everything refunded and gave us the entire meal for half off because she wanted to ensure that we had the best possible experience and wanted to do so, and even at a discounted rate when we got home to the cabin, we were in we were not disappointed. It was truly a great experience and we will definitely go back and get the burger and all the fries and all the other stuff again thank you again to everyone at get the burger you guys are just outstanding. It was definitely well worth it.. ---------------------- @@@@@@@"""""""""""""""$$$$$$$$$$&;;;;(((((((((((($$$&&&&& OLD REVIEW!! Original, before speaking to the owners!! We were super excited to eat here and showed up about 10 minutes before closing to pick up an order to go. There were still people inside ordering food and picking up their orders and finishing their meals when the woman who owns the restaurant hobbled over on a crutch, looked at me in the face and locked. The door didn't acknowledge my presence. I pulled on the door as she was locking it, and she continued to walk away. I followed her. She flipped the closed sign. I walked through the gate. She talked to another patron that was inside finishing their meal and then she proceeded to lock another door and then I knocked on the window and she looked at me and said we're closed and I said it's not 6 o'clock yet and she looked at me and said "oh well now". The interesting thing was we weren't the only people who showed up later to eat we were the first of 3 additional parties looking to pay for the food at get the burger. I was under the impression that in think that in California you couldn't lock your doors whenever you felt like it. The gentleman who came outside who was eating his food said well she just does that. I hope people read this and I hope that get the burger sees some impact from this because that's not how you treat customers. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ read more

I got the Leading Man with a veggie patty substituted and it was really good. The fries were pretty good too. The gentleman taking orders is very nice and both times I went gave me an extra wasabi ranch to try. Next time I go to Big Bear, I will definitely come back to Get The Burger! read more

The food is amazing! Great burgers so fresh. The deep fried pickles and zucchini were pretty good!! Had to go back and get more! Eclectic little shop the murals inside were really nice. Good family restaurant or corner diner type atmosphere. Friendly service but not fast food!! Good food that takes a minute. So be patient and enjoy! For fast food they have a sign telling you how to get to Carls Jr lol I loved that! Also the names of the burgers super creative!! Will come back for sure our whole family loved it! read more

Get the Burger is totally awesome. The place is small but quaint, the service is great and friendly, and the burgers are top notch. The jalapeno ranch and their wasabi ranch are superb! read more

"Ticket didn't print". That's what happens when u trying going to MID places and giving them a chance. Even left a tip for the great customer service though how am I waiting over an hour and still no food, I understand it may be "understaffed" but customers behind me in line are getting their food before mine. All I ordered was a singular patty burger and fries. I find it really cool they got Pepsi and cola though that's it. May NEVER come back here, genuinely taking their advice and going to Carl's Jr as they would NEVER be this bad at giving me a burger and it tastes 10x better. The bathrooms are clean and the area is nice, parking sucks just like the food. Might have to take back the tip I left from their tip jar as they literally just robbed me of my time. As I am writing this, my food has still not been given out and I already asked them about it, other customers are still being given priority despite more than an hour wait. Not coming back and do NOT recommend. read more

Get The Burger - This is cool - Burgers Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

First time visiting and it was good! I ordered the "Leading Man", a small fry, and a large drink. They offer both Coke and Pepsi products along with Horchata, Jicama, and Stubborn Sodas! My order came out to our table 15 minutes later (freshly cooked to order). The burger was better than I expected. The portion size of meat was very generous and the meat quality itself tasted very good. Almost like a mix of Five Guys and In n Out burgers. So delicious. The fries were deliciously crispy too. The inside of the restaurant is a little warm, but a good amount of comfortable seating is offered inside, and a dog friendly patio around the building. Loved all of the beautifully painted wall murals too. Good first-time experience and one of the top burger places in Big Bear, in my opinion. read more

We got an order to go and the service was super quick and good. The menu is super Finn We ordered their leading lady and a leading man, a hot dog and nuggets for the kids, and their French fries and onion rings. Their different ranch dressings like the wasabi ranch were the stars of the show, along with the special sauce on the burgers. We enjoyed the meal and next time will try the dine in option. Definitely a great burger spot if you're visiting or live in Big Bear. read more

Get The Burger - The leading lady - Burgers Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

Wow. The best burger and fries I've ever had. I'm serious. The negative reviews confuse me. It took a while for your burger? Yeah obviously, they make it slower and the wait is worth it. Don't expect to come here with an impatient attitude. You're gonna have to wait. Get over it. They make it very clear they are unstaffed and the wait is long. Don't act surprised. Go to McDonald's if you're gonna be weird about it. Okay now onto the review. Whoever was on cashier was very kind. I love the vibe of the place too. Very chill. It's a calm chill environment. I went on a Saturday at 12pm and it wasn't too crowded. Nice and quiet. I could hear my thoughts bathrooms were great. I loved the murals on the wall. Super cute! Waited about 15 minutes for my food. Like I said, it wasn't crowded. The burger was absolutely fantastic. I had just done a week at a disability camp and this was my first bite of outside food. It tasted erotic. Yeah. The fries were so heavenly. I'm serious. The mint chip shake was PERFECT! Not too sweet!! I hate it when shakes taste like pure sugar. It was perfectly balanced. The burger was sooooo freaking good. Buttery bun, cheesey, soooo good. I will come back here every time I'm in big bear for the rest of my life. read more

This burger was delicious. 9.2/10. The meat was seasoned well, very moist and flavorful overall. I love burger sauce so it could've used more than that is my only critique. We also got sweet potato and regular fries, they were good. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a burger. You won't find better in Big Bear! read more

Super good food fo such a reasonable price! I was so surprised that given Big Bear is predominantly a tourist area, they are not charging ridiculous amount for their food, especially since they're so far away from the main civilization. Food is generous amount, they have yummy options, and overall great service. Highly recommend this place! read more

This place was a hit. We were really craving fresh burgers with all the juice and sauce. We ordered two double cheeseburgers, chicken sandwich, hot dog, French fries, onion rings. Everything was awesome. So good, in fact, we visited two days in a row! Wait times were no more than 10 minutes, by the way! Parking is convenient, seating available inside and outside. I wish we would have got a t-shirt! read more

I think I may have set my expectations a little too high after seeing this place all over social media. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype it felt more like an overhyped Carl's Jr. The burger itself was underwhelming; the patty tasted like it had been frozen, and the veggies didn't seem very fresh. That said, the pickle fries were a standout crispy, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. We chose to sit out on the deck, which had a really charming view of the forest definitely a plus for the atmosphere. The wait for food was a bit longer than expected, but the staff was very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. Overall, it was an okay experience. Not bad, just not quite what I'd hoped for. read more

Welp, we came this past Saturday during the power outage of the entire Big Bear Valley... to say that EVERYONE was on the look out for any place that had electricity should tell you that it was as if we were living in dystopian times LMAO!! The restaurant staff handled it like Champs! We arrived right as they opened at 11:30 AM, and they KNEW it was going to be one of those days from go. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Food was fresh, music was pleasant, and beer was cold. I got the 'Leading Man' with beer-battered onion rings. Ask for the side of ranch dressing at the counter before you have a seat.

Good quality burgers for a good value. $10 for a single and roughly $13 for a double. Patties are thick cut. Codfather ~$10 is solid option too! Only downside is the wait. Wait in the line was a good 15-20min, wait for the food is another 30-45min. But they do warn you that the wait is long. Up to you if you want to wait that long for your food. Besides the wait food is solid. Good classic burgers. Patio is dog friendly and the owners were really nice! read more

This is not about the food, we never made it that far. We walked in, had a dirty, not very well cared for vibe to it but we were going to take it to go so we stood in line for about 15min then cashier hollars out that all orders would be a 1hr wait. It's just burgers and fries, I don't understand why it would take so long, if short staffed, hire people, they need to figure it out, a burger should never take an hour to get. We left and grabbed lunch somewhere else. No plans to come back. read more

I just ate a burger and fries from here and it was one of the best burger and fries I've ever had! And I'm 50, I've eaten a lot of cheeseburgers in my life lol this one was amazing, very fresh, juicy, their sauce they put on it is like thousand island but their own twist and it is so amazing! Everything was really good and the fries were so delicious, I'll definitely be coming back!! read more

This place is THE BOMB, we traveled from Temecula and this place was well worth the drive. We got the leading man, pickle fries and French fries.

Walked in and stoop in front of the register for almost 10 min before being acknowledged. Kitchen full of people. Took our order. They only take CASH We kept seeing everyone's food get taken out. They threw our receipt away. Ignored us. We were sitting in an almost empty restaurant. Long story short if you are any color but WHITE do not go here. You are not welcome. We are glad we didn't eat here. In a town full of options - you do not need to deal with filthy incompetent people read more

Came by after a day in the summit with a group of about 10. This place looks small at first but plenty of seating and good enough for 2 big groups. Menu has a variety of burgers, sides, kids menu items and limited edition items likes pickle fries and shakes. The group ordered a bit of everything , burgers (turkey patty was also ordered ), fries, kids nuggets, pickles fires, onion rings and a few shakes. It did take about 20-25 minutes for the group to slowly get our orders. The one thing that wasn't super convenient was the inconsistency in times. By the time the lady person in our group got their food, the ones that had ordered food had already received and finished their food. 1 one group members order had been forgotten (stuff happens). Overall, food was fresh , and very good all together. Would return but probably not in a big group and not with hungry kids. Give em a snack before maybe. read more

Very underwhelming. We've been coming here for years and the food quality has declined tremendously. Their burger patties have changed and are now undercooked, from frozen box patties.. and sauces have been watered down. Wasn't worth the wait how it used to be. Might give it a try again if I don't have to feed a bunch of kids. read more

The decor and signage around the place warns you of the slow pace, but waiting over an hour for a cheeseburger is absolutely ridiculous. Watching people who've ordered AFTER you get their food before you is absurd. Pro tip: Only go here if you have nothing to do the rest of the day. read more
