Charming little mountain café with cozy, homey diner vibes. Went Sunday afternoon and had about a 15-20 minute wait, but ended up grabbing a seat at the bar area. Our server was HUSTLING through the Sunday rush but was still so sweet and attentive, which deserves a shoutout. Service overall was quick and friendly. It's a little pricier, but portions are generous. The tortilla soup was substantial and SO tasty, plus it came with garlic bread... say less. Sweet potato fries were plentiful and delicious, and the Tim sandwich lived up to the hype from all those good reviews. Definitely a solid choice. Ranch is classic restaurant-style, and the chipotle mayo was actually really good. I love to dip, so naturally I had to sample the sauces. Priorities. Bathrooms are a decent size, but individual-use only. Excited to come back during winter time when this place is dusted in snow for that ultimate cozy cabin dinning feel read more

Juicy chicken. Generous avocado. Melted cheese. Buttered bread toasted to a crisp. Thick sweet potato fries with a tangy honey mustard. So. Freaking. Good. I'll take another 14 of them right now. Fast service! read more

Grizzly Cafe - Tim sandwich - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

My first time here for lunch and I already miss it. Love the cozy vibe. Feels like I'm eating inside of a cabin. My family and I ordered the Pot Roast Dinner, Philly Cheese Steak, and Shrimp Linguine. Everything tasted great, with big hearty portions. Everyone was friendly and the service was amazing. Looking forward to go back to try their Ribeye and Flatiron Steak for dinner someday. read more

My daughter and I drove up from Lancaster (about an hour away) on a Thursday for their prime rib special. It was $28.95 and so worth it. My daughter had the Salmon ($24.95). Each meal came with choice of salad or soup. I chose the broccoli soup. It had tender chucks of broccoli and was really good. The prime rib was cooked perfectly for me (medium rare). My daugenjoyed her salmon and the New York cheesecake for dessert. Our server was Haley R and she was amazing. Very friendly, very attentive. Highly recommend stopping by there for food & great service from Haley!! read more

I loved this cute mountain restaurant and it's amazing breakfast food. I was immediately sold on the biscuits and gravy, which were delicious. After starting with those, I also got the Tim sandwich, which was a grilled chicken, avocado and jack cheese toasted on garlic parmesan bread. Absolutely amazing and everything I want in a sandwich. My vegetarian boyfriend ordered an omelette and hash brown. We were stuffed and I still brought home half the meal! read more

My guy and I have been real estate hunting for some additional property. And have been exploring several areas. We've never been to wrightwood so we dropped by this evening and happened upon the Grizzly Cafe. The cafe food portion and gift shop are attached to be another. We ordered the soup of the day and mozerella sticks, coffee and hot teas. All arrived quickly and yummy. Afterwards went shopping in the gift shop to look for salt and pepper shakers. So many cute ones are perfect Xmas gifts. Such a cozy and warm holiday experience. Will return. Would love to see the fireplace lit as well in the cafe on these cold winter nights. Thanks guys! read more

What a great location in Wrightwood! I was visiting the area while my son went snowboarding so I checked Yelp for a place to go have a drink/some food while I waited. There are not tons of choices, but so glad I found this place! When I got there I saw a table outside with christmas decor at 70% off, some really lovely items. I got a couple of snowflake ornaments. They also have a super cute gift shop inside the restaurant. I asked the girl at the front if I could have a table near an outlet and she accommodated me at a 4 person table, which I thought was very nice. My server was amazing! She let me take my time at the table while I enjoyed a couple glasses of wine, then I ordered some food, and she always checked on me and told me not to rush. Menu was huge, so many selections. Wine was a great deal at $7 a glass and I ordered a club sandwich which was so yummy and huge. I only had half and gave my son the rest, it really was enough for two people. Also got the fruit cup and that was good, had a variety like melon, orange, grapes, etc. I'll have to come back for breakfast next time. Awesome place for good food and great service! read more

Disappointed by New Dog Policy I've been coming to this restaurant for years and have always brought my 3 well-behaved, leashed dogs without any issue. It's been one of our favorite spots. However, on my most recent visit--after driving 45 minutes to get there--I was told by the manager that only service dogs are now allowed. When I explained our history with the place, she simply said, "I don't know who's been allowing it, but it's service dogs only now." I understand that rules can change, but there was no notice, and the way it was handled felt dismissive. If you're a dog owner looking for a pet-friendly spot, unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this one. read more

Grizzly Cafe - My 3 friendly dogs - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

Was super sad to have just missed breakfast so this review is on their lunch. The inside is cozy (cabin vibes) and is connected to a cute store. Service was warm and great. Got the grizzly burger with coleslaw and their fish and chips (comes with fries and coleslaw). Portions are pretty big. The fries were amazing - super crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The batter on the fish was light, which I loved but was overall a bit bland (the tartar sauce you can dip it in is good though). The burger and coleslaw were solid too - just wish we got the thousand island sauce on the side because it was a bit much on the burger. Overall, would come back when we're in the area to try their breakfast! read more

Grizzly Cafe - Ortega Beef Sandwich - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

Went to Mtn High one Saturday morning. Decided to check out this place before we left and were not disappointed! We were a party of 5. Three adults and 2 children. We got there about 30-45 before dinner. We were seated within minutes of walking in. The waitress was very nice. All of the staff were nice. Because we arrived between lunch and dinner, not all of the dinner items were available. We decided to order appetizers while we waited 30 mins before we ordered so we could get dinner which I believe started at 4. Everything we ordered was delicious! Even the kids' pasta looked good. The serve large portions, so bring your stretchy pants! Next time I'm in town I plan to swing by again. Typing this up now is making my mouth drool! read more

Service was disappointing. Even with empty tables, we waited too long and were offered a dark corner table. Food was just average, and they charged a card fee without asking--even if paying cash. Came back the next day with my wife, and sadly, the poor service was the same. read more

Grizzly Cafe - Several empty tables to make you wait 20 mins to be seated... - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

The food is always delicious at Grizzly Cafe. Almost everything is a made in house. Ask your server, they will answer any questions. Also, they're friendly staff. I like all meals - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast - they have the best chicken fried steak. They offer so many sides. It is big enough to share. I enjoy their hash browns and the biscuits and gravy. Lunch - I like their burgers, salads, soups, and sandwiches. Everything I have ordered is tasty. My go-tos are the tri tip sandwich (the meat is so tender and flavorful and not that fatty), the crispy chicken salad (large enough to share if you want, the salad is always fresh and crisp), the soups (any, all are good. I like the broccoli cheddar, and the Italian soup). i also really like the grizzly burger - you can also ask for a lettuce wrap or extra patties. The fish and chips are also tasty. They use fresh fish, not frozen! dinner - i really like the prime rib (Thursdays). They also have other steaks, pasta dishes. For sides, I really like the potato chips and salsa - all made in house. The baked potato is quite good. The iced tea is always refreshing. This is my favorite spot to eat in Wrightwood. as a long time customer, they now charge a take out fee** docked 1 star... such a bummer for us locals read more

Came here with 3 friends after snowboarding all day and we came in STARVING. They have a cute gift shop right when you walk in. The decor was very "bear" and "campsite" oriented, it's adorable. It wasn't very busy so we sat right away, ordered our food, and it came out SO quick! The grizzly burger was amazing, as my friend told me. My other friend ordered the country fried steak and after we all took a little bite, we wished we ordered it instead! I personally didn't love the gravy that came with the mash though. For myself, I ordered the asian chicken salad. It was good, but I do wish my chicken wasn't warm because it warmed up the rest of my salad as I tossed everything around on the plate. We all shared a cinnamon roll for dessert, if you like sort of crispy on the edges cinnamon rolls then it is not for you because the whole thing was super soft and gooey. Just a preference though! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cozy ambiance and generous portions! Also, our server was very nice and attentive. read more

First time here. It's a really cute spot. However the breakfast menu is quite small. Food is average. Nothing to brag about. Quite expensive too. My husband and I shared a plate . I got a side of pancakes and bacon. It was almost $50! Potatoes were hard and not seasoned.I'd rather stay home and cook. read more

This was my third time coming here. The previous visit's were great this time not so much. It took awhile to be seated at a table. Our waitress was very brief with us, i felt as though she was waiting on too many tables at the same time. When we got our drink orders our sodas were flat, we had to wait some time before we got the chance to change it. When we did unfortunately the other soda tasted flat so we realized it was the soda machine. I ordered the club house and my husband ordered a pastrami burger. I loved my club house & the fries were hot and fresh and the dill pickle was great. My husband on the other hand was not happy with his burger. He said the burger patty had no flavor and the pastrami was cold and tasted days old. He gave me a piece to try and i must say it was pretty gross. I told him to send back the food but he was starving by this point and he didn't want to wait for food again. As he kept eating his burger he noticed the patty was dry in the center. We found that really but i guess it was the way the cook cooked it. I should have snapped a photo but i didn't think of it in the moment. Well with that being said, previous visits have always been great i have no idea why on a Thursday it was completely different story. read more

Grizzly Cafe - Zuber Sandwich w/ Sweet Potato Fries - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

My family and I had gone camping nearby and decided to come into town for breakfast; Grizzly Cafe seemed pretty promising. Walking in can be a little overwhelming if you don't know what to expect -- their front door leads into a old-school gift shop filled with all sorts of forest-inspired decor. We almost felt like we had walked into the wrong place. The wait wasn't too bad, though we opted to eat on the outdoor patio. Service was really good, with the servers being very friendly and efficient. My teen and I split a country fried steak and eggs with a side of biscuits and gravy and country potatoes, my husband got the corned beef hash and eggs, and my toddler got the pancake special -- guys, the servings are MASSIVE. The biscuits and gravy are like a meal all on their own, with the gravy very heavy and creamy. My son said they were the best he has had. My husband loved his hash (it was salty, as it should be). Both our plates came with the country potatoes (carbs represent), and we were pleasantly surprised by the side of salsa that came with them -- super delicious. My toddler devoured his pancakes before we could take a bite. Definitely will be stopping by again next time we go up the mountain! read more
