Roxy was extremely rude to our party. I haven't seen my family in years and wanted to show them my town and take them out to eat. Roxy was snappy and short with all of us and not to mention our order was wrong. We continued to be polite even though our experience was completely ruined by her behavior. The restaurant was not full, so we could not understand why she was behaving the way she was. I just wanted to show my family around and it was a MESS. read more

Grizzly Cafe - Tri Tip Sandwich n Homemade Potato Chips. Excellent.... - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

I was recommended the Grizzly Cafe by a local of Wrightwood. It has a neat little storefront as you come in. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was great. I had the special of the day, steak and veggies. My friend had the burger. Both were great and quick to come out. I can't wait to come back for breakfast. read more

Restaurant appeared to have only 2 waitresses the day we dropped in and service was not speedy. But because the food was so good and the service so pleasant I'm giving them 5 stars. My BLT was piled high with thick bacon, fresh lettuce and red ripe tomatoes slices, a dream on a plate. My husband reported his Chile Size was great. We will def return here when visiting Wrightwood again. read more

My boyfriend and I took my daughters to play in the snow on New Years Day this year and after a few hours of throwing snowballs... hunger struck. This was one of the few restaurants open on a holiday. The line was long and we had to wait outside to be seated, but the owner of the restaurant was outside the whole time giving regular updates. Once we finally got inside, the food was delicious and the service was great. The staff was friendly, our waitress was charming, and the food was yummy and comforting. I'm giving this review 4 stars because the wait was outside in the snow and we had to wait about an hour to actually be let inside, but we understand the circumstances. Just not ideal when it's cold and you're hungry. read more

My family and I visited wrightwood for the same reason most out of towners do, for the snow. After a fun filled afternoon of play, we came across the Grizzly Bear cafe and I suggested we stop there and give it a try. I'm so glad we did! It has such a cute cabin feel! It's nice and cozy inside. We were tended to right away, first by the hostess who asked if a 10 min wait was ok, and of course I said that was fine, we are a family of 5. Just about a min after a waitress came by and said she was cleaning up a table for us, we would be seated shortly. We had the nicest waitress. She was so friendly amd attentive! We ordered our meals and were so pleasantly surprised. It was all so delicious, every thing was made perfectly! For a family of five our check came out to $70, which isn't bad at all. Plates were all nicely proportioned. I highly recommend stopping by here if you are in the area. read more

I love coming to this little hidden spot, it's very homie. The service is excellent and the Breakfast are amazingly good! The wait time sometimes could be 25 min to 30 min. You do spend your time looking at things in the store within the restaurant which makes the wait time go faster. The store has very unique decorations. read more

First off, our waitress Karen was amazing. The food was delicious. Our first time here and fell in love. We are definitely coming back. The burgers are delicious, and we recommend the chili and cornbread. read more

We stopped at this cute cafe for lunch today. Very clean and appealing. Loved browsing through the mercantile shop prior to being seated for lunch. Bought a gift for a family member and appreciated the complimentary gift bag with yellow tissue paper and a pretty black bow. We were quickly seated for lunch. Lots of options on the big menu - hard to make a decision! I ordered the Santa fe grilled Turkey with a side of potato salad. SO GOOD! My husband had the Monte Cristo with fries, also delicious, "best he's ever had". The peach iced tea and strawberry lemonade were perfect choices. Our server was friendly and made excellent recommendations. Great food, great service, beautiful location - we'll be back! read more

Roxy is the best ever! She is the best. So sweet and kind and personable. Grizzly is lucky to have her!

I came in her to grab some food, breakfast preferably but didn't end up eating since they stop serving it at 11:30 am. Service was also super slow, they have one waiter for the whole restaurant.. never saw anyone else helping out. We also didn't have any silverware when we sat down, we are lucky that our table was even cleaned off. Would of tried something else, but wasn't really feeling any of the food, they don't have a lot of vegetarian options to choose from either. read more

went here after a hike to grab some grub. i ordered their grizzly burger and my friend ordered their monte christo sandwich. burger was delish and definitely more homely. they were telling us how all their foods are made from scratch which added that family authenticity. now the monte cristo sandwich is a 3 tiered french toast slices and gooey ham and other mystery goodness lies in between. they include a hot syrup to go along with the sammich. sweet and savory married in that sandwich lol read more

Leo (the owner) is a funny guy. He's very proud of this place, and rightfully so. It has a nice family feel. After a long day of snowshoeing, my friend and I decided to find food, Grizzly had the most and best rating so we tried it out and were happy with our choice. They have a large menu and all the food looks delicious. My friend and I are both Vegetarian so we didn't have many options. The Vegan burger that we ordered was very good though. Definitely worth the price. We sat next to a local family, they were also fun to chat with. The dad Ryan has two cool boys. One will be a comedian in his future, super witty and funny. What impressed me most about this place were the grandkids that worked there. They are happy, well-mannered and enthusiastic kids. I also like hearing about the history of the place. Leo and Debbie have great Banter. Leo is a character and Debbie is a beauty with the poise to grace any room. read more

Left the dogs at home and walked to the Grizzly! Great decision. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I asked if they would do a Rueben sandwich with a veggie patty in place of corn beef. I was expecting a 'no' or yes but will have to charge for the substitution. Instead I got an 'of course!' No hesitation! My kind of place. And the Rueben? OUTSTANDING! Don't miss out. Stop! read more

We went up for a day in the snow with our littles, this is a great kid friendly restaurant. Food was delicious. We were a group of 8 everyone was happy and full bellied by the time we left. read more

I love the Grizzly Cafe, it's close to home the staff are always super friendly and helpful and the cooks are awesome!!! So our FAV item on the menu is the fish & chips but I like mine turned into a fish sandwich (yes I know it's just adding three fish to a bun not that big a diff lol BUT what's cool is the cooks don't trip when I ask for it this way I've been to places where they tell me no they can't alter the menu items.....?! Um ok. OH OH and their breakfast OMG the BEST scrambled eggs inn town hands down! And a pretty taste mamosa if I do say so lol oh top of all that thru have a adorable little woodsy themed gift shop and they get me every time never fails I always find something I just gotta have so long story short Grizzly Cafe it's a must in Wrightwood!! read more

Approached the window yesterday to order two hot cocoas for my girlfriend & I after we finished up playing in the snow in Wrightwood, only to be informed that we could not order hot cocoas unless my girlfriend and I were prepared to order full meals as well. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND. What a fantastic way to drive away potential brand new customers who were freezing cold and just wanted a little warmth in their bellies (And who by the way, both really liked the look of the place... at initial glance anyway). I DO however recommend the the cafe right up the road at the junction, who were happy to serve us Hot Cocoa by itself. read more

First time here. I can't say enough good things about this place. Drove up from Hesperia on a recommendation from my daughter. So glad we did! The place is very warm and inviting. We were seated right away. Karen was our server, so cheerful and helpful! She made some great recommendations and even gave us a little sample of the soups. Both were delicious! I had the Grizzly Burger. It was enormous and so GOOD! My husband enjoyed his beef sandwich. We both opted for the homemade chips and salsa. So glad we did! The music playing in the background was just perfect. I told my husband, I think we've found our new favorite place! We are already making plans to return with some friends. Can't wait!! read more

My husband, two toddler kids, and I did not have a great first experience. I'm unsure how the food is because we ended up leaving after an hour. We were told that it was a 45-minute wait, which we decided to wait since we drove out 2 hours to get there. When I asked the girl at the front ( she seemed like a teenager who hated her job and hated being there), who was rude and had HORRIBLE customer service, where are we at on the waitlist? She said we were next. When I looked at the paper, we were at the top of this list, and she's already seated 4 people that were way at the bottom of the list. I am an I/O psychologist, and this just shows me that management does not have it together by not having good training. I guess I'm old-fashioned that I believe customer service is everything, and they had none. We ended up going to another restaurant the next block up and were seated right away with no wait. We walked up, and they smiled and sat us. Not only did the restaurant staff greet us kindly, but they kept checking on us to see if everything was ok. I will not give grizzly cafe another chance. read more

We had just finished a long hike and were looking for a quick bite. We just happened upon the Grizzly Cafe and didn't think much at first except it was food. To our very pleasant surprise, the food was fantastic, the pie was amazing, and Pam was a fun and friendly server. It was the perfect end to our hiking adventure. read more

My husband and I have lived in Wrightwood for about 5 years and the Grizzly is our favorite place to eat. We have tried everything on the menu and can honestly say that we love all of it. The service is always great. Every staff member is ALWAYS friendly, cheerful and accommodating. We understand that things happen in the restaurant industry from long waits in the peek tourist seasons, to a rare backup in the kitchen. Regardless of what may be going on the staff handles everything calmly and with a smile. We had several friends up to our house this past weekend and, as always when we share our favorite restaurant with them, they loved it. They make the best monte cristo sandwiches and homemade potato chips! read more

My first time in Wrightwood and had breakfast here at the Grizzly Cafe, this is a place I would certainly recommend trying and a place I will definitely be returning to! The breakfast & coffee was wonderful and so fresh - the portion sizes are also very generous. We were lucky enough to sit next to the fire place which made breakfast even more cozy and enjoyable; it was quite picturesque in such a quaint atmosphere. Our waitress, Jenny, made the experience here so nice with her kind and genuine personality making us feel so welcome. read more

After meeting my girlfriend, adventure started to come back in my bloodstream. First, it was skydiving, now on to a lesser thrill, ziplining. Of course, with every adventure comes a pre-reward: BREAKFAST! With our zipline scheduled at 12pm, we wanted to dine in the local neigborhood of Wrightwood. With the help of Yelp, we found the local, Grizzly Cafe. You'll find the cozy Grizzly Cafe at either the entrance/exit in the local community of Wrightwood on State Highway 2. How you'll find Grizzly Cafe?! Just look at the name. I am sure you won't find a grizzly cat...Well maybe a grizzly mountain lion. Its always an experience to get out of the city and head out to the rural area. Grizzly Cafe seems to be one of those spots where everyone comes in for breakfast, lunch, and dinner just to catch up and share moments. The weird thing when you drive up. You are going to see a lot of Porsche cars. When we drive up, I can say for sure that we are "TOURISTS". There is plenty of parking next to the Grizzy Cafe and surrounding areas. Parking can get tight, but this isn't a busy city. You can park in the surrounding areas and take a beautiful stroll with the mountains in the background. When you walk up, you'll notice either two things: The Bear on the roof or the two bench swings in front of the cafe. I think it should be a ritual for anyone to sit on the swings before going into Grizzly Cafe. Its sitting on a nice porch as you would be sitting in either the front or front of your dream home. When you walk in, most likely, you would be wondering if you entered the wrong place. You didn't! You just entered a very cool gift shop. At our visit, we saw a lot of Halloween items. This may not be the Disney shop, but you can call it the Wrightwood Shop. A lot of cool stuff, but you'll see a lot of grizzly bear items as well. This could be the "OFFICIAL" gift shop of Wrightwood. Well, Grizzly Cafe is probably the official restaurant anyways. Our friend was already seated was eager to eat while my girlfriend and I were looking around the gift shop. You have three choices of where to eat. You can eat at the counter, main dining area, or the patio area. With all the motorcycles and Porsche vehicles driving up, we decided to eat in. Its cool, country type setting as if you were eating at your own dream cabin with State Highway 22 just right at your view. I believe my girlfriend saw a caribou or a moose head above the counter area. From what I read from other Yelpers, the caribou head moves. Glad, it didn't during our visit since we enjoyed our food. I don't remember who our waitress was. Sorry! When she came along, we ordered our drinks right away. A glass of water, a Strawberry Lemonade ($3.89), and my girlfriend ordered the cutest drink, a glass of Apple Juice ($3.49). Our friend was so hungry, her Hispanic/Spanish blood wanted something that satisfied her hunger. So, when she opened the menu, she ordered Chorizo and rice. She didn't care what kind of rice as long she ate it. My girlfriend ordered Belgian Waffles ($6.99) with hash browns ($2.49). I ordered a similar item like my girlfriend did. I ordered the Belgian Waffle Combo. With the Belgian Waffle Combo, I had, of course, Belgian Waffles, bacon, and poached eggs. Each plate came with a slice of watermelon. Our wait for food with a busy restaurant on a weekend was about 10 minutes. Food was served very hot, fresh, and ready to eat. I can't describe how my friends meal went since I didn't taste it. However, my girlfriend and I did have the Belgian Waffles. I am not sure what kind of batter they used, but its just like Eggos. It was sweet and crunchy on the outside and soft, fluffy in the inside. Add the syrup and butter, you got yourself a great breakfast. Since I had my eggs poached, it was made exactly like how I wanted. I just dipped the bacon in with the egg to add a hearty breakfast. As I mentioned, each dish comes with a slice of watermelon. I didn't try my girlfriends hash brown and now I wish I did **tears** Our friend paid for the breakfast. Thank you! We had a delightful breakfast at a location that feels like we travel thousands of miles away from Los Angeles. Except the rows of Porsche vehicles that made it seem like Beverly Hills or more closely to Aspen, CO. This is one restaurant/cafe that exemplifies the town of Wrightwood. I wouldn't be surprised if Grizzly Cafe hosts many meetings for its community. Heck, I love this place and I was only here for a couple of hours. If you do come through the city of Wrightwood, stop by the Grizzly Cafe, you won't be disappointed! You think I write too much? Well, you can call me a Yelp-O-Holic! read more

Grizzly Cafe - Biscuits and Gravy - American Near Me - Wrightwood, California

It started out as a rocky experience. We entered through the random gift shop and stood under the sign that said "wait here to be seated" - we stood, we waited, no one acknowledged. There were clearly several seats at the bar, inside, and outside. We weren't too sure what we were waiting for. When someone finally acknowledged us, it was like they didn't know what to do with us. Apparently there was a list and about 4 parties ahead of us... When we were finally seated, the hostesses were kind enough to move our table out of the sun. I searched through the regular menu and the breakfast menu (we came at that weird time right between lunch and breakfast)...With so many options, I checked the yelp photos to see if anything looked appetizing. I found the "sunrise sandwich" which was a croissant, bacon, eggs (any way you choose), lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I searched the menus for this sandwich that I now had my heart set on. I looked at the photo and saw that it was from 3 years ago. Saddened, I asked the waitress if this sandwich still existed and she said..."it does, its just off the menu" - what?! I was ecstatic! She ran to the kitchen to check if she had any croissants and lo and behold, there was one left! Hurray! The sandwich was perfect and delicious! Pay at the gift shop counter. What started out as somewhat of a lacking customer service experience redeemed itself with a delicious off the menu sandwich that was brought to our table with a smile. read more

I had the Monte Cristo! Which if you know what one is, once a year is good for me, but I had two over the weekend!!! They made a great one! Have to order to go, no seating due to Covid but at least it was open! read more

Stopped in around 2:30pm on a saturday after a hike. We were a party of 8. A party of 15 was being seated right before we arrived. It took 15 minutes to seat us but that was understandable. The place is not big and that weekend there was also a vintage car show in town so parking was tough. Once we were seated our server brought out our drinks about 5 minutes later. She did ask if we all wanted separate checks which would have been nice but I insisted on one check since we all had cash. Once we ordered it took about 20 minutes before the food arrived. But it was worth the wait. Everyone liked what they ordered. A few of us even tried something new we had never had before like a Reuben Sandwich. I had the tuna melt which was very good. The bread was delicious and the tuna tasted fresh. I also ordered chips with it and they were brought out hot. Which makes me believe they were made in-house. Overall a good experience. Will definitely return. read more
