    Large half and half pizza
    Samantha N.

    Exceptional pizza. Every sauce (Alfredo and marinara) were locked in. Toppings were generous. Recommend the hand-tossed crust, it was the perfect thickness and never hardened! The interior was right out of the early 90s, but in a charming way. The stacked pizza oven was legit, it whipped out perfect pizzas with limited wait time!

    We were in the area on a mini vacation and we got hungry. We decided to go into town and see if there was something that we could get. Unfortunately, the town closed down pretty early so this was the only thing that was open so we went ahead and went in and ordered a couple of pizzas and some wings. Customer service was OK. The restaurant was big a few people in there. We went ahead and placed our order and waited a little bit for our food, we took it back to the hotel We were staying at ,the pizza was good very flavorful and the toppings were good, The wings were awful! They were very soft and mushy. The taste was not great and it was very expensive for what we got but if you're hungry and there's nowhere else open, this is pretty much your only option.

    I ordered a veggie sandwich and potato salad, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst meals I've had. The food did not seem fresh, and the overall quality was very disappointing. The sandwich ingredients were uncooked, which made the meal even less enjoyable. I also want to note that we were not allowed inside because we had a pet with us. Based on this experience, I would not return.

    Cheese breadsticks (they were SO good!)
    Elle M.

    My husband took me to Idyllwild for a day date and took me to a pizza place "that we used to go to after doing winter camping as a Boy Scout." It was so sweet to see him light up with nostalgia as soon as we walked in. We were greater by a cheerful lady working the register. She was patient while I deliberated on if I wanted breadsticks or not (I did) and rang up our order. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. The cheese breadsticks looked... unappetizing. But the Husband insisted I give them a try. And he was right- the tasted amazing. This is definitely a worth while stop if you want some pizza on a snowy day.

    Antipasto

    Some good mountain pizza! Had a to-go order supreme pizza, caprese panini and antipasto salad !!!!! Phenomenal food!!! Nice restaurant and nice people!!

    Taqhuitz Supreme and I added fresh jalapeños that I had brought up

    Another great pizza at Idyllwild pizza company, tahquitz supreme per our usual. Every time we visit we get this pizza and it never disappoints

    Greek Salad (huge!)
    Becky L.

    exhausted from the gorgeous mountain views, kind people, and adorable Mayor Max? Get yourself a pizza-pick-me-up! These delicious pies will reinvigorate you to take on the rest of the day with a full belly, open heart, and pure optimism! Fresh ingredients, rich sauce, melty cheese, thick ranch, cold frosty beer, and wonderful staff... what else do you need? I believe that there is no bad pizza, but not all pizza is created the same. This is GOOD pizza! Come get some, you won't regret it.

    Pretty good pizza, and was able to place the pickup order over the phone pretty easily. A little expensive for one pizza, but we loved the toppings and flavors.

    Italian sub sandwich with garden salad
    Rudy M.

    This place is known for its pizza but we weren't feeling that so we got a sandwich each. I found a good one in the Italian sub and my partner enjoyed the meat and sauce. The pasta sauce was good as well. Wasn't crazy about the olives but they didn't bother us at all.

    Salad and calzone
    Jim M.

    Because I am from the east coast the calzones there are made differently and this place has a good one it just doesn't measure up in terms of the amount of ricotta cheese and mozzarella inside. The dough was raw in spots but overall well done. Took about half an hour to be served my food The salad was very good The price is a little to high for my budget If it was around $12.00 or lower I'd buy it again

    Foosball table that did not work
    Andres M.

    We were craving some pizza, so we looked up a pizza place and found this spot. There was plenty of parking available in the lot and nearby, and it was easy to find. As we walked in, we really had to consider whether we wanted to eat there or not. Although the pictures of the pizza looked really good online, the restaurant itself seemed a bit run-down. You can tell from the tables and decorations that the place could use a facelift. There's a small arcade in the corner that I'm not sure many people use, and a foosball table that doesn't seem to work. But let me tell you--don't let that discourage you from trying the food, because this is some of the best pizza I've ever had. We ordered a medium supreme pizza with some ranch for dipping. If we weren't trying other food at nearby places, we would have finished the entire thing. We loved the leftovers. It wasn't too busy when we got here--just a couple of families and a few others eating lunch. From what I can assume, the owner who took our order was very nice. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area and want pizza. Next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be getting more pizza here. I forgot to mention we also grabbed a brownie that had and it was really delicious and moist.

    Have you ever tasted raw dough? Thats what my pizza tasted like. I don't think it was done yet. We took it to go and had a long drive back home. Had to put it in the oven to finish cooking when we got home. Taste was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary. Ole lil pizza shop. The workers were great tho. Very friendly. They knew we were touring and recommended food for us. Wrapped our food really well since we mentioned we had a long drive. Still warm when we got home.

    Food is amazing. Had spaghetti and meatballs. Pasta was perfectly cooked wotn homemade pasta sauce with real tomatoes. Meatballs the size of a tennis balls. Homemade and juicy. Couldn't stop dipping the homemade garlic bread in the sauce. Also had the hot wings. Great flavor and not dry like most I've had. These were brought stright from the oven and I chose blue cheese dressing to dip. The dressing was amazing and I found out that was homemade as well. It had chunks of blue cheese. Yum. I'm a local and this is my go to for homestyle pasta!

    My girlfriend was craving a fat, juicy, pink in the middle burger and the winner of the selection…read moretonight was The Lumber Mill. It was their unique burgers that caught our eye so we decided to come in and see what's good. The first thing I noticed is that their prices seem a bit pricey for a burger and fries but all the prices here in Idyllwild are elevated so these prices are in alignment with other restaurants. And for me as the prices get higher so does my scrutiny of the food and overall experience. My reason for 3 stars instead of 4 is price vs amount of food you get - and the fact that they charge $5 for a Dr. Pepper. That's a bit obscene in my books, so 3 stars. Now the details... I was gonna get a pastrami burger ($20.99) until I noticed the Bacon Lovers ($19.99) and I'm a huge bacon lover and this is the first time I've ever seen a bacon lovers burger so I had to go with it. It is a juicy beef patty stuffed with bacon bits & topped with American cheese, more bacon and 1000 island dressing served on a brioche bun. They cooked it to a perfect med rare and it was really good. It comes with your choice of side (fries, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans or garlic mashed potato's. You can upgrade to fried pickes, zucchini, sweet potato fries, onion rings or corn nuggets for $2.50 and our waitress was raving about the beer battered onion rings so I chose those. The burger was great and so were the onion rings, however as you can see from the picture, there were not many onion rings AT ALL. I don't mind a $2.50 upgrade charge but give me some onion rings PLEASE!! Not happy about the quantity fr that upcharge! My girlfriend got the Wild Western burger ($20.99) which is a juicy beef patty topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce & onion rings. She didn't really like it much. She also upgraded to fried zucchini and she didn't much care for those either. It seems like there are good things here and some not great things here. If there is something ypu want to try here, I would go through the reviews and see what people are saying about it. Again, I feel like I got taken advantage of with that up charge on the 6 onion rings they gave me, but they did deliver on how good they are. I would recommend doing your research before ordering here.

    My family and I always come here and they never fail to make us feel welcome, happy, and satisfied…read more The food is your classic American style diner but with beyond meat and plant-based options for vegan and vegetarian friends. Our server, Arcy (please forgive me if I spelled your name wrong!) is always lovely and just a delight to be around. She is very knowledgeable and is very helpful with any questions we have. As far as the restaurant itself, it's very in touch with the mountain, cabin vibe. It's very comforting and a nice change from your average diner. It's safe to say that my family and I will come back as we've done the years before on our trips to Idyllwild.

    We chose Cafe Aroma for a birthday dinner and were so happy we did!…read more The bread with garlic in olive oil was a perfect light starter. My husband also enjoyed an old fashioned that was excellent. For dinner he husband ordered the ragu, and I had the penne in creamy basil (without shrimp). Both dishes came out quickly, were well prepared, and completely satisfying. Service was extremely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We reserved the patio so we could bring our pup, and the staff immediately offered her water, pets, and even a treat. I always appreciate a restaurant that makes dogs feel welcome rather than like an inconvenience. The patio also had a lovely ambiance, with white tablecloths and the same polished table settings as indoors. My only minor note was the live music. The singer was fairly loud and close to the tables, which made conversation difficult. Instrumental music might fit the early dinner atmosphere a little better. If you prefer a quieter meal, dining indoors may be the better choice. Overall, a great birthday dinner and a wonderful experience!

    I read a bunch of the 1-star reviews. I read some of the…read more4-star reviews. I have to go with 5-star tho. OVERVIEW of 5 : Seated without reservation (*make one! We got lucky*) Server was amazing Food expediter was super nice Food was delicious Elegant, fine dining experience Music was my mountain playlist (and not too loud) View of mountains for me. View of architecture for my wife. PARKING: Parking can be difficult in the small lot, but there's parking along the street too. INSIDE: It was perfect weather. 68ºF at 6pm after a warm day. They have "indoor/patio" style seating which may be difficult for some to access by multiple steps. We were seated at the top, a table away from the music, along the window side. They have heat lamps - but temps were perfect (lots of people and hot food warmed everyone up). I wanted to walk around the restaurant. The tiered architecture is interesting. FOOD: High End Vegan! Yes - I'm guilty of wanting to give them 5 stars just looking at their vegan menu. (And omnivore selection) Yes - I appreciate the care that it takes to prepare a plate. BUT This food was just delicious by itself. Even in a cardboard box, this food would've been amazing. VEGAN "cheese" appetizer (great for 2-3 people) Nut cheese was warm and tangy. This is NOT just cashews and nooch in a blender. It is spiced with something that brings a little heat. *you will want to lick the bowl. PRO TIP: The welcome bread with ... oh shit.... WELCOME BREAD / Garlic Olive Oil This crusty bread served with microplaned garlic + olive oil is fantastic. Garlic Fiend? You're gonna love this. Not a fan of garlic? What's wrong with you?! I mean... just serve from the oil side. Save some bread for your vegan cheese.... VEGAN CHEESE (cont.) Order the gluten free bread (a little more like Uti's toasted dinner roll) with your vegan cheese app. Omnivores at your table will be surprised how well this vegan cheese and wine pair with each other. TROUT I think my wife got the trout. She loved it. Light and delicate. VEGAN KIMCHI TOFU I've had kimchi. I've had tofu. We all have. This was prepared on a bed of roasty veg that was a great match to the salty kimchi. I don't know if there was a marinade preparation (sesame paste?) with the tofu, or it was made locally, or both, but this firm tofu was excellent. Sweet. Nutty. Salty. Fresh tasting and filling. The vegan menu here isn't just an "alternate version" of an omnivore dish. It is its own thing. DESSERT MISTAKE = not getting it. We thought there would be dessert in town, but we got out late. Town had closed. MUSIC Tonight's music was a pair of musicians playing CS&N, Neil Young, Bob Seger... acoustic session: Guitar, Violin, Mandolin. Quiet & sentimental performance was a perfect accompaniment to a long hike day. THERE ARE 1-STAR REVIEWS of this place. They have their reasons. I've only been here once. But I experienced NONE of the things they've mentioned. Moreover, we experienced even better than what other 5-star reviews suggested. This is an elegant spot, framed by a perfect day in Idyllwild. If I come back to the town, I will want to try other restaurants, but I'll definitely come back here. Not *just* because of their vegan options, but definitely *for* their vegan options.

I was craving a quick bite and saw that this spot had a lot of signage for appetizers, small bites and movie theater snacks. While I normally wouldn't be as inclined to grab food from a theater when there are so many restaurants around, I saw that this spot wasn't yet busy and knew I needed to grab something on the go so I gave them a chance. The theatre inside is actually adorable and old timey. Small but first the old town vibe. They had a lot of decor, some arcade looking games and general move theater decor. A gentleman was working behind the counter and was super friendly and nice. Told him I was just wanting to grab a hotdog to go and he whipped it up right away. This gave me time to make a pit bathroom stop and they were clean and easy to access from inside. Didn't have to buy a movie ticket to use, just purchase food or such. It was all an easy and nice experience for wanting something on the go and no fuss. Friendly service, cheap bites and a cute atmosphere. Mind you the simple hotdog was actually delicious and a 5/5.
