Very nice place, great servers too ! Enjoyed the visit and food ! I hope they're doing good during this fire

Stopped for a "hot fudge brownie a la mode" and two hot chocolates, totalling 20 bucks. Waited almost 40 minutes despite only a handful of customers, and got this pictured. A lukewarm, storebought brownie with packets of storebought fudge (very thick and not even warm), and a container of ice cream (probably also storebought). Hot chocolate was filled from a machine in front of me, after calling out the order. What an absolute ripoff. I guess they make you wait forever to give the illusion they're doing something other than grabbing random gas station food from the fridge. Don't give this place any money; it's not worth it. read more

I wish if can put zeroooo start yelp review for bad customer service, I drove an hour and half to try this restaurant, I arrived with my husband at 6:05 pm I asked the hostess how long is the wait she replied 25 to 30 minutes for a table and 15 minutes for counter top. I told her counter top will be fine because I have a long drive back home, I wait 20, 25,30 minutes .I went back to the hostess asking her about our wait she said I don't know I don't have your name on my list , so I have to hunt the other girl to ask about my name , I was shocked when she told me that I have to wait 20 to 30 minutes because they have to serve 17 guests before they seat us , and they don't have enough server but I don't like when a party came after us and they sat before me ,it is almost 7 pm and still waiting for small table , this restaurant is a joke very unorganized dirty restroom trash everywhere the lounge waiting area is like zoo, very rude staff liars never ever again don't waste your time shame on you guys . read more

Me and my wife love this place! We get there at opening time due to them getting so crowded in less than 40 minutes after opening. The French toast is the best we have ever had anywhere. That's why we occasionally make the drive up the hill from Fontana read more

We arrived at 6:58 on a Saturday evening, and we're told that we are too late to sit in the outside area. This is the middle of summer, it doesn't get dark till like 830. While we waited, five or seven minutes and they told us they were waiting for silverware before they could seat us. Therefore, we left, it should be noted that the restaurant was about 85% empty. Then one of my daughters had accidentally brought something from the gift shop outside and went to return it. As she entered the restaurant the employees were talking smack. read more

Excellent breakfast place, generous portion size for breakfast. Had the waffle plate and truly enjoyed it.

Looking desperately and starving for anywhere, just to kill the hunger on the snowy freezing New Year's Day in the area , we stopped by this awesome place. Welcoming people, dazzling store, nice cafe , and excellent food. We have arrived! We truly enjoyed our couple of hours there and humbly appreciate it. YOU MADE IT FOR US. THANK YOU! read more

If you're in the Wrightwood area, this is a good place to eat. Good food, excellent service and nice ambiance.

Everything was delicious, fresh, and prepared to my liking. I had the avocado salad with chicken and the presentation was beautiful. Service was great. I'll be back! ​ read more

We had our first trip to Wrightwood and stopped here for lunch. They were busy but sat us quickly on the patio which was lovely. I had the Cobb salad, my mom ordered the chicken salad stuffed avocado and my kids had chicken strips and fries. We all enjoyed the food, service was great and we loved the gift shop. read more

Not too impressed. For $25 plus tip, we were expecting the halibut fish and chips to not be so overcooked, it was extremely dry and slightly tough where the filets taper. The fries tasted dry and overcooked and were served barely warm. The soda, cole slaw, and pickle were good. Had to wait 20 minutes to be seated at the counter. There is only two bathrooms, one for boys and one for girls with a long line. Used the men's and there was no soap nor paper towels. Perhaps they should add Porta potties outside, the type that flush and have a sink. The staff was friendly. This was our first and likely last visit to this cafe. read more

Been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. If your in a hurry, and its winter ski season, you better fnd some patience to eat here. Everyone wants everything now when they see they have a line out the door waiting to eat. Find a drive thru if you don't have patience and then give a bad rating because you think they should jump for you. Best people, service and food and the ambiance is always cool unless your a no patience kind of demanding person. Love Wrightwood and as someone who supports and loves this place, I recommend that everyone come and try the Grizzly Cafe! Super cool, yummy and the best people work there! Thanks Grizzly for always making me feel at home. I love too many dishes to mention. Breakfast is always a home run! Don't forget to Tip! They deserve it!! XO read more

The food, the service everything about the places is amazing the quality of the food the quantity and the service is amazing. Not one bad Waitress and I love how they bring my little friend a cup of water every time read more

Cozy, little cabin restaurant nestled in the snowy woods of Wrightwood! Love the atmosphere and vibe of this small American restaurant. Food is simple and prices are reasonable for a vacation town. I went in for lunch and the menu consisted mostly of sandwiches and salads. The meals are basic but my 5 stars is for the atmosphere. It looks like a warm, cozy cabin. After a fun-filled day in the snow, this is the perfect place to warm up and fill your stomachs. I'm here in the month of December so it's well decorated with Christmas decor. As a Christmas fanatic, I absolutely love it! This month is the peak time for visitors. Since the restaurant is small, be prepared for a wait. The wait is worth it though! read more

This restaurant is so cute every time I go there the food is always delicious! Staff is very nice!

If I could leave minus 5 stars, that still wouldn't sum up the awful experience here today. My family and I are staying in Wrightwood for a ski trip. This evening we wanted to eat out, and after reading the amazing reviews, came here. We were told the wait time was 30 minutes, so we patiently waited! We were seated an hour later, which I would never have agreed to, had we have known it was an hour wait. We proceeded to order and explained to the waitress that my young son was very hungry and if his food could be brought out asap. We were told they were busy, and that the food would take 15 minutes. Just under an hour later, there was no sign of the food, we asked several times how much longer, but we didn't get any answers. We were all so hungry by now, that we felt we had no choice but to be patient as we had no alternatives for dinner. We then realized that people who were sat after us, had got their meals and still no sign of our food. We were appalled and left the restaurant. Perhaps the food might have been good IF it had been served, but an hour wait for a simple order of a burger and shrimp, no matter how busy you are (and by the time we were seated, most of the tables were empty) is not acceptable. 2 hours of our life wasted at this restaurant! Moral of the story, don't wait for a table and go elsewhere as their so called 30 minute wait was B**** and the 15 minute wait for the food, even more B***** We went to the supermarket, bought some eggs and ate that with bread in our airbnb as my son was almost close to tears from being so hungry! read more

This quaint little cafe, nestled in the heart of Wrightwood, offers a warm welcome, reasonably priced dishes and charming atmosphere. We dine here about once a week, being that we are locals. It is kid friendly, everyone is very accommodating and the food is really good! My husband loooooves the white gravy with his flat iron steak. My favorite is the jalapeño cheese soup, served on Tuesdays, and their famous Golden Acorn Chicken. Stop by if you're in town and experience the down home feel of the Grizzly! read more

Grizzly Cafe - Make sure to sit on the porch for a spell and swing! - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

Friendly fast service. The waitress handled a rude person with dignity and respect. Hats off to all the staff!

My daughter and I came to eat. We were told it would take approximately 45 minutes, then two males show up and we're also told the same. The third party also signed up and we're seated, and I said why do they get to sit before us? They couldn't explain, but obviously it was rude, inconsiderate towards my daughter and myself. I feel some-kind of discriminated also. The apology wasn't authentic or genuine. If we didn't feel welcomed, then anyone who reads my post ... don't waste your time going to this establishment. 12/26/2021 read more

We have always loved the Grizzly Cafe. My husband has his heart set on Corn beef and Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day and he was not disappointed. I however was extremely upset about my meal. I ordered a Patty Melt. Pretty simple, right? WRONG! My Patty Melt was on sourdough, not Rye bread and the sourdough bread was stale! My onion rings tasted like the oil was rancid. I realize business may be slow and prices have gone sky high, but to serve someone stale bread ant not even rye bread with a Patty Melt is just not acceptable. I'm sorry Grizzly! It was not so Happy St. Patrick's Day for me. read more

Strong showing, had the black and bleu burger, didn't snap a pic but it's pretty good. Toppings come on the side so your choice but I'm not a fan of having to reconstruct at the table. Great service, checked in a lot which was great. All in all, if you need food in Wrightwood come through! read more

Had an awesome meal the other evening. We arrived just before the dinner hour & had the place for a few min to ourselves with the exception of a lovely Czech Republic Pacific crest, Trail, hiker. We shared stories in his broken English and he told us about his girlfriend back in the Czech Republic and he was writing her a letter. It was quite sweet and he wanted to take a picture with us. It was absolutely Darling. It helps make our wonderful dinner even better Speaking of dinner. My girlfriend had fish and chips that will ask her for two days and loved it as always cooked to perfection. And I had ordered to go for my daughter salmon special that evening, which she devoured and still have leftovers for the next days luncheon which she loved. In my order Was the chicken stuffed with spinach and peanuts something I've never ordered and it was delightful. The sizes always are great. But I can't lie. My favorite is the homemade potato chips. We were so full that we didn't forgo dessert. Share a cookie from the front at the cash register and coffee. Never felt rushed even though the restaurant did get busy checked away in a little corner and just were able to people watch as they came in and out. The ambience was wonderful right by the fireplace. Not cold enough to have any need for coats, but just pleasant to be sitting there. Said goodbye to our PCT hiker it went upon her way. If you haven't been there for dinner breakfast or lunch, I'd encourage you to. It's our favorite spot. My only complaint. What if I wasn't there on Friday for my chicken tortilla soup I'll have to remember to go on Friday just for that and the bread bowl. I'm sorry I'm forgetting our server name, but she was Johnny on the spot with everything we couldn't have asked for a better person. Our cup never wanted for coffee or water and we had our to go containers waiting by the time we were ready to leave perfect!! read more

The lady told the employee do you want to kick some people out !!! She was yelling at customers I I literally walked away did not even wanna order so my review is only for the customer service not the food read more

Roxy our waitress was amazing!They have new French fries that are great. The outside patio is beautiful.

What a gem in the middle of nowhere! After a hike to Mt. Baden Powell, I could not wait but to eat something delicious. My partner in crime said we should stop somewhere locally. Without internet connection and Yelp reviews, this was a tough decision for me to make. Nevertheless, we stopped at Grizzly Cafe... I enjoyed the Christmas-themed decor (well, except dead animals on the walls, but I guess this is not a Christmas theme, is it?), wooden chairs and tables and the overall atmosphere. I could see this place packed for the winter holidays. Food was fantastic. My salmon sandwich with spinach and feta cheese between freshly toasted lightly buttered bread could not have been better. Service was just as good. Our waitress was friendly and down-to-earth. I will absolutely be back when in the area! read more

We stopped here on our way back after a half day of snowboarding at Mountain High. It's a cute little cozy place decorated for Christmas! There was a small wait so we shopped around in the gift shop for a bit. We each tried a different salad and both tasted amazing. The garlic bread on the side was so soft and fresh. I highly recommend if you're in the area. Very friend staff as well! read more

Excellent Food&Service!Ambience is so Comfortable. They have the Merchantile next door for shopping.

There's nothing like being outdoors. Although this Cafe mainly serves indoors sometimes they seat at their outdoor patio. Walking in here is like stepping into an adorably decorated mountain cabin. We usually come here for Sunday breakfast. Their meals include either toast, biscuits n gravy or 2 PANCAKES..Yummy! But get there by 11:00 a.m. because they stop serving breakfast at 11:30. Their country style food is good. Service is personable like the good ol'days and the location is easy to get to. Definitely a must! read more
