It was so soft, a tad bit sweet. I got a side of potato salad. Unfortunately I realized a little late that the mustard provided was to mix into the potato salad. Once I did that, it was literally the perfect meal

The staff are friendly, cheerful, and attentive without being intrusive. A special shout-out to David who was phenomenal at our last visit. We placed our order to go, and David made sure our food was cooked just right and even checked in on us while we sat at the bar waiting for our food to be prepared. Our favorite go-to's are their pulled pork sandwich, sliced brisket, and mac n cheese. DELICIOUS! Our family will happily return to Jasper's BBQ again and again and highly recommend!

My friends and I were walking around the village and as we turned a corner we were hit in the face…read morewith the best smelling BBQ! We all instantly got hungry. We walked in and was seated right away. I was surprised since it was midday and the resturaunt was kind of small. We also had 5 people in our party. We ordered our food and all I could think about was I really hoped that the food actually was as good as it smells. I'm from Louisiana so I'm pretty doubtful of most BBQ places in Cali. Boy, oh boy, did they live up to the smell! Everything was great! I ordered the Memphis melt with brisket and instead of fries I got friend pickles. The sandwhich was so ooey gooey with cheese and the brisket was so tender. I hate when you bite into a brisket sandwhich and the whole piece of brisket comes out or your sandwhich just falls apart. The fried pickles were very crispy, Just the way I like them! They served them with chipotle ranch. So freakinnnn good. My friend got the spicy mac sandwhich. Right when the waitress put it down on the table I was eyeing a little chunk of mac n cheese that fell out of the burger. I told my friend " ummm I'm taking this" . The Mac was so creamy! I deffinitky recommend atleast getting a side of it. All in all, eating as Jaspers was a great experience. We sat next to the windows which made for great people watching. I deffinitly recommend this place! Make sure to follow your nose!

So tasty Garlic mash potatoes: 8/10 also delicious! Buttery and good garlicky flavor Pulled pork sandwich: 7/10 the pulled pork was a little dry, not enough bbq sauce. Definitely ask for bbq sauce on the side. I added more to mine and turned out to be much better with that Kids Mac & cheese: 7/10 my husband and I loved it, but not so much my toddler. They sprinkled some cayenne pepper on it which made it a bit too spicy for a toddlers palette Fries: 7/10 these were thick wedges which were tasty. I don't usually like wedge cut fries but here it was crispy on the outside and soft inside. Also had cayenne sprinkled on top which we liked except my toddler lol. Suggestion for the restaurant: please have an option to make the kids meal not spicy Service: 10/10 our service was a kind guy who check in on us regularly and provided us with anything we needed! Ambiance: 10/10 had great music playing. We came Thursday night which I believe was game night. They had some board games left out for customers and play doh for the kids! It kept my toddler nice and busy while we enjoyed our meal :)

It's been a few years since I last visited BYB&G. The menu has changed and they've renamed some…read moreentrees. All in all, it was a decent experience. The food was okay, but they run out of popular items. I wanted the brisket but it was done by our 6pm seating. Granted, it was Sunday and they probably didn't plan for a late rush. I did have the greens but it was a small portion. I should've gotten the garlic mashed potatoes. The ribs were okay, and the fat pig burger was okay. Fries were decent and the drinks were standard (no alcohol ordered). You can expect to spend about $30 a person. Since I've not tried other BBQ in Big Bear, I'm not sure where this stands. However it was a decent meal. No big issues.

Wait staff was nice and helpful and plenty of parking. Walking distance to the main strip in Big Bear Lake. We got there right before 8pm and they stopped serving food shortly after 8pm. Lots of fun bar activity and karaoke going on. We probably won't go back for dinner but may return for drinks some time.

We ordered two different poke bowls and wow. We were pleasantly surprised! Very fresh ingredients and they were delicious! We enjoyed these back at our campsite (Serrano Campgrounds).

Would love to venture back sometime and try some cocktails on the patio with our pooch. Highly recommend! For sure a gem in Big Bear!

Parking is…read moreeasy -- there's a lot right behind the restaurant -- and the seating is generous: patio in the front, patio in the back, and a full indoor area. Brought the stroller in without any trouble, which is always a win. The atmosphere is what gets you first. There's a ton of cool decor to take in, and the menu has music-themed names for everything -- a fun detail if you're paying attention. Food was delicious and the beers on tap are a great selection to pair with it. Service was attentive and the vibe is comfortable for families without feeling like a kids' spot. It's just a good place, period. Definitely coming back.

It's, um, March 19th and we sat on the rooftop outside! Yup! Great ambiance with a view of entering Big Bear and the beautiful moon tonight. Shelby, the manager, was super friendly, sweet and helped us with our meal and Kalley was such a pleasant, high-energy waitress who were both great. Salads- well - hit the spot and more!! Jeremie's Caesar salad was topped with delicious and juicy chicken, flavorful house made croutons and Caesar dressing. Side of garlic bread- yum! Mine! All the treats! The kale apple bacon salad- minus the kale (because I'm just a romaine kinda gal). Sweet dried cranberries and green apples, perfect feta crumbles and bacon, with this amazing apple cider vineagrette! And that superb touch of garlic bread. (I could have eaten a whole loaf). I'd like that dressing in a bottle please! We didn't stay long bc we had people arriving, but will definitely be back. Thank you Shelby and Kalley for great service and delicious salads that hit the spot! Few times we've been up here so far and we haven't found our spots yet, but you're one now!

Here is my story On one hand, my journey to big Bear Valley was defeated because snow was scarce. And, I had to learn how to find the bald eagles. That is my preference now on to oak side I'm guessing Oakside as the place to go locals and visitors alike. Street level is patio dining upstairs second level is covered and rather dark. Food menu is what anyone can expect from a local pub restaurant diner Same thing can be said about their alcoholic beverages or their non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages You do need to check in with the gal downstairs if you want to sit on the street level patio dining. Otherwise walk up the stairs and sit at the bar. Food was decent. Service was excellent. If I'm ever in the area again.(I'm sure I will be) I definitely stop in again

Only two other tables in the entire restaurant were seated so it was practically empty. Do NOT EAT HERE

We recently visited saucy mamas midweek and the food was good but our order came out wrong and then…read moreI kind of felt gypped on the garlic bread. But I'll start with what's good, pizza taste great. The vibe inside and out is great and service is good as well. Restaurant was clean and was appealing to all the senses. The bad we ordered a single topping 1/2 n 1/2 and when it came out they missed the 1/2 topping on one side. They took it back and just threw the missing topping and brought it back out. Obviously it didn't taste the same as if it was baked from the get go and was a little cold by the time they brought it back out. Now the garlic bread, just don't buy it. We ordered a two piece and I assumed it would be a half a French bread loaf. What came out was so disappointing that you could only laugh. I kid you not it looked like half a hot dog bun. Yup one side of a hot dog bun with garlic butter and a ketchup cup with sauce to dip it in. I do believe, I'd give them a second chance if I'm being honest but my first visit is the only mulligan they'll get. Next time I will not accept a pizza made incorrectly or order the garlic bread.

It's important to note that this rating has nothing to do with the food, as we ended up leaving…read morebefore ordering. My low rating is entirely based on the customer service experience within the first few minutes of arriving. I came in with my dog, fully aware that we would need to sit outside. Since most restaurants still have you check in first, I stood at the podium where there was a sign indicating a server would check in guests. After standing there briefly, an employee asked if we wanted to sit on the patio. I said yes, and he responded by telling us to "go up the ramp." Not even in a friendly manner. Me being me I just wanted to verify that I didn't have to check in as it wasn't just myself, my party we're not all with me ..wanting to make sure I was following the correct process, I politely asked if I didn't need to check in first. His response came across as annoyed, basically repeating that he had already told us to go up the ramp. The interaction felt unnecessarily dismissive and rude. There's a difference between being direct and making guests feel unwelcome. I'm usually not someone who leaves negative reviews over one interaction, but both my husband and brother-in-law also noticed the attitude, as they were close enough to hear and it immediately made us uncomfortable enough to leave. Before leaving, I did take a quick look at the patio area and noticed it was very shaded with leaves scattered around from the wind, which didn't make the outdoor dining setup feel especially inviting either. Overall, this was disappointing because I had chosen this spot to celebrate my 30th birthday and was really looking forward to enjoying a big, delicious pancake. Unfortunately, the experience started off on the wrong foot and we decided not to stay.
