We came here during 4th of July celebration at the village. We walked in at around 5 and was seated right away outdoors. We ordered the 3 meal combo to share. Portions were more than enough for our family of 3. We also tried their red velvet cake and it was delicious. Service was good, though they were clearly backed up and busy, they kept checking on us often. Overall will definitely come here again. read more

When I was here a few months ago, everything was 10/10. Tonight was a completely different experience. Last time the baby backs were delicious and fall off the bone- perfect. Tonight they were inedible. Tough, chewy, I couldn't even locate the bone to cut them. They tasted like a kitchen refrigerator. 0/10 I ate half a rib (and spit that out) one sausage, the Texas toast, and two bites of a warm salad. Service so-so. The server was around but the cook was 100% more interested in watching soccer on tv than cooking. I don't know if the food would have been better if the cook cared to be there, but I do know it couldn't have been any worse. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Jasper's Barbeque - 2 meat Combo, half rack and links - Barbeque Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

We were looking for a place to eat and Jasper's bbq looks like a good choice . First of all the patio is nasty , floor is dirty and there are flies all over ...!!! Personal is not friendly at all , we were the first in arrive , we ordered and we just waited ... then a big family came , then a couple and they were served their meal first!!!!! The waiting time was 45 minutes, this was the worst experience in Big Bear , it's a shame that places like these dont care about the customer ! So disappointed ! read more

If you're looking for BBQ in the Village it's right in the middle of town on a corner and there is parking right next to it. We've been here many many times and the food is always good and full has good flavor. The sides are pretty small, though, and hate to say it but, the service is mediocre and on the slow side and I'm speaking from many experiences coming here with just my family of 4 to larger groups.. they just don't have a sense of urgency or attentiveness . The food usually takes a long time to come out, so be prepared to wait. However, Good BBQ, meat portions are good, flavor is good, just mediocre service! read more

I hate to say it but McDonald's and Carl's Jr has better food. You need to go with the primary rule of, If you can't smell it outside then it's not that good. I question if they actually cook any of the food I had a brisket never had a brisket that was 1 in. chunks. You'll need a knife to cut it. It will not fall apart. I also was supposed to get links but they weren't available so I got a half rack of ribs that was smothered and barbecue sauce. My wife also got the half rack and ribs. What was interesting is her rack of ribs was extremely hard to cut to get to the individual ribs. Even the lemonade was mediocre and I really think that came out of a machine. There's more, however. Customer service was excellent so I don't want to continue saying bad things other than about their food. In the end the bill was over $100 with the tip but you didn't get your money's worth out of that. Yuck! read more

We were exploring the downtown Village area and walked by this place, and after smelling the aroma of the bbq decided this is where we'll have dinner. They have seating inside and in a side patio, plus only a handful of seats along the bar. I saw that reviews talked about spotty service but that the food was good so we decided to just brave it. Indeed when we went inside, it took a while for anyone to greet us and seat us, maybe between five to ten minutes. We eventually asked a worker if we can just sit at the bar since we saw some seats open up and we sat there. They have some beers on draft, we got some cali creamin beers which were good. My bf and I ordered the 2 meat combo with brisket and a full rack of ribs - both of those meats being additional charges (+$5 for brisket and $10 for full rack of ribs) because we assume they're the best meats they make here. The waiter even confirmed the brisket is the best and he recommended the ribs as the second meat to get. We got onion rings and fried pickles as our two sides. It took quite a while for it to come out so our appetites really grew. At one point we saw our sides - the onion rings and pickles - ready in front of the pickup window for a WHILE before the meats were ready and before everything was brought over to us. We were bummed bc when we eventually got everything, our sides were cold. Despite being cold, they were probably the best part of the meal and the onion rings especially were tasty. Ok let's talk specifics on the bbq. The brisket was unfortunately super dry and chewy. Sadly the worst brisket either of us has ever had. We couldn't even finish it and didn't even think it was worth finishing. The ribs too, the meat did not fall off the bone like a sign of good ribs. I had to peel them off the bone with my fingers and they were also dry. The ribs were slightly more passable to us than the brisket, but we were pretty shocked and disappointed with both. When our waiter came by, we were honest when he asked how everything was and told him the meats are really dry. We said we weren't sure if that's just how it is here or if they made a mistake in the kitchen. He took it back and brought it back to us shortly after. We were a little confused when we saw our platter, it looked like they just cut up all of our ribs and sauced everything more. After trying both meats, it was clear they just heated up the meat, maybe they just put it in a fryer, and they put extra sauce on each meat. While it was saucier, it didn't mask the fact that the meats were still incredibly dry. All in all, the service is slow, just as the reviews state. But the food too... eek. Definitely a little disappointing that the meats were served so dry and after giving them the opportunity to fix it, they essentially just put a bandaid over the issue by over saucing it. read more

Our family has had great experiences at Jasper's BBQ and in Big Bear, Jasper's is THE place to go for BBQ. A big part of our great experiences has been the service. 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! read more

Busy night, all tables occupied, I was sue the wait would be long; I was wrong. We were seated right away, took about 5 minutes for a server to come by but once our food and drink were in, they rocked it! I split the Jalapeño Mac burger with my granddaughter, chose garlic parm fries as our side ($2 upgrade), burger served on a pretzel bun, cooked to medium, the Mac and jalapeño worked nicely together, but I'm sorry, the fries were disappointing. Another of us ordered the buffalo wings and said they loved em, and yet another got the ribs, side of Mac, fries and drink. I ordered the West Coast IPA which was delicious. Three servers hustled and kept customers happy, supported by a kitchen that appeared to be super efficient and good at what they do. They were pumping out the meals as the pick up window was constantly full. The decor and ambiance was something of an average nature but the mood was electric. Good job team! read more

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much after reading some of the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the pulled pork fries and they were good! There was a generous amount of meat on top, super tender, and the fries stayed nice and crispy even under all that pork, which I didn't expect. We also got ribs with onion rings, more pulled pork, and sweet potato fries. The ribs were bigger than we thought they'd be, and again, they didn't skimp on the pulled pork. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were solid too though I do wish the sweet potato fries were a bit less soggy, they still had good flavor. Service was great. Our server was really friendly and checked in just the right amount not too much, not too little. The vibe inside was lively but not too loud or crowded. read more

Good bbq place conveniently located near where we were staying. Got the 2 item combo with brisket and pulled pork because I wanted brisket and my bf wanted the latter. I ended up liking the pulled pork more because the brisket was a little thick and on the dryer side than what I'm used to at other bbq places. For the 2 sides we got Mac and cheese with salad (ranch dressing.) the Mac and cheese was good, the ranch was a bit but noticeably watered down. Food was decent for quick and easy take out. We phoned in our order for pick up. Portions of meat are pretty huge. We couldnt finish and had the leftover meat with mac and cheese for another meal, it was a lot for just 2 people! read more

Absolutely horrible experience. We waited an entire hour and didn't receive any food not even water. Meanwhile, people who arrived after us were served before we were. The service was extremely disappointing, and we ended up wasting an hour of our time for nothing. 0 stars if I could. read more

I would give this zero stars if I could. The service was horrible. No one attended us for a whole hour. They did not even offer water. The party behind us got their beverages before us as well as their food and we still didn't get any water. Horrible service!!!!!!! read more

brisket pulled pork and ribs. The staff are kind and the seating is enjoyable. The actual BBQ is not true BBQ. It has a lot of water in it but is at the same time very dry in terms of the brisket and ribs. If you're from anywhere that has real BBQ you won't like this. I'm also saying this because my boyfriend is a true BBQ lover and was severely disappointed. read more

This was some of the best barbecue I've had in a long time! While it was a bit unorganized when it came to getting a table, our service was pretty good.

Over all the food was delicious, drinks were good, definitely would recommend checking out! read more

My friends and I were walking around the village and as we turned a corner we were hit in the face with 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! read more

Crappy service. Walked in. Sat ourselves. Had to get own menu. Was seen by at least two employees but unacknowledged. After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, my family and I just left. Another bad service experience in Big Bear. Been coming for decades & love, but so many businesses have a chip on their shoulder. Too bad. read more

Food was good but the service was where it missed the mark. The place itself is quaint so no problems there - we knew what to expect coming in. Employees were not very attentive and didn't take our order for 20 minutes after we sat unfortunately, but food made up for it! Fried pickles and mashed potatoes were delish and we enjoyed the ribs and brisket a lot! read more

Amazing BBQ!!! Huge portions but it didn't bother us because we have leftovers! The BBQ sauce recipe is delicious! We came with someone who isn't a fan of BBQ sauce and they were raving about it. Great prices! Kindest service. Kids loved it as well. 2 adults and 2 kids could easily share the 2 meat combo with 2 sides. Amazing wings, golden BBQ and buffalo sauce were excellent! Sauteed veggies are juicy and so flavorful too. read more

I have been wanting to try Jasper's forever and finally did. I wish I hadn't waited so long. It was delicious! I can't have gluten and they were knowledgeable and helpful. I had the barbecue bowl with shredded chicken and it was amazing! I added extra bbq sauce because it was so good and I could not get enough of it. I brought my own gluten-free bread (weird I know) and dipped it in the regular barbecue and spicy barbecue sauces. So. Darn. Good. The only drawback for me is that the fries are all battered/breaded. But it's OK. There were plenty of other.options on the menu. Our server was so nice and helpful. I really like this place and can't wait to go back. read more

Food 4/5 Staff Friendliness 2/5 Cleanliness 2/5 (Rarely see staff wash hands after performing multiple tasks then handling food) I was sitting at my table today 11/30 5:38 and a patron with a stroller needed to pass. The woman (who is always rude to me) said "would you move so they can pass." I thought that was rude as she could have just said excuse me. I come in once a week for the last couple years and she always has an issue with my brother and myself. Today she had two ponytails, black shirt, blue jeans, and glasses. This might be my last time here. I ordinarily order the BBQ bowl with mashed potatoes topped with protein, cheese, green onions and pickles. The side of cornbread is generous and enough to share. The brisket burger is runner up for my favorites. This place would be a 5 star review if staff were friendlier and cleaner read more

Very couldn't give a fuck energy from the staff- host has you sit yourself and walks behind you w menus, not seen at all after foods dropped, had to get up to find someone for check in empty restaurant. Fries were alright, brisket sandwich needs different bread if it's gonna be chopped the whole thing was a soggy mess by the time it hit the table needed to use a fork to eat my 'sandwich'. Unfortunate because the brisket itself was actually really good just a little extra fatty. Bbq sauce was a really good blend, not too mustardy. read more

My husband has been on a really good barbecue kick and we had gone away for the weekend to big bear. We walked past this establishment. It's small but very cozy. He ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. We were both very satisfied with what we purchased. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Nothing tasted off and everything was perfect. We will definitely come back to this place when we are in big Bear again. read more

Terrible service. For a mountain local that has been here countless times, I am shocked to see what it has become. Customer service has fallen off so much and the food is not the same as it used to be. I walked in and was pretty much ignored. I asked to speak with manager and was told "we can't do that". So I ended up just walking out. There are so many better places in the area that will take better care of you. Avoid this place. read more

Service was lacking, but the food made up for it in parts. The barbecue brisket and loaded fries were outstanding -- definitely the highlight of the meal. We also ordered two full racks of ribs; they looked amazing but turned out a bit dry, though the kids still enjoyed them. My wife tried the pulled pork sandwich and found it salty and dry.

The aroma of the smokers drew us to this establishment. A menu full of options made it hard to choose just one thing. I chose to go with their mac n cheese topped with chopped brisket. This dish tasted like home cooked awesomeness. The mac n cheese was gooey and full of flavor. That, topped with chopped smoked brisket was a flavor explosion. Their staff were prompt when they took and delivered my order. The menu has a little bit of everything, and I'm only jealous I'm not a local to try more of it. Definitely a local establishment worth stopping in to try. read more

I have seen some bad reviews for this place about the wait times and such. Let me preface this by saying we were hungry early (we skipped lunch) and we ate dinner around 5:30 PM. Fortunately it was pretty quick and we sat down in just about 10 minutes. The place is definitely SMALL and only has about ten tables. Try and get there during the off-peak times! Anyway, we ordered the 6-beer flight which was a sample of every type they had on tap. They were all pretty good, some of them were so good I took a pic to order some when we got home! For food we ordered two big plates, she got the pulled pork combo, and I got the brisket. The pork was delicious, juicy, and paired perfectly with the hot sauce and Tabasco BBQ sauce at the table. My brisket was AMAZING!! Perfectly seared, juicy, hot, and I would say it's probably the 2nd best brisket I've ever had!! (The best was Lewis BBQ in Charleston SC so this is a great praise!) All the side dishes were really good as well, the garlic mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, garlic parm fries, and fried pickles! All delicious! We will definitely come back here and BRING YOUR APPETITES because these combo plates are no joke! Portion sizes are fantastic for the price! read more

Great spot to stop!! We walked in and sat down immediately. The waiter came and got us drinks and we ordered food. We got the brisket sandwich with onion rings and a cheese burger with mashed potatoes (kids). The food came fast, they brought out plenty of bbq sauce, Ranch and ketchup! The food was hot and really good. Service was friendly and prompt! We will be back read more

We were walking around the main street and started feeling hungry from all the aroma going around. We just happened to stop right in front of this restaurant since it smelled really good at that time, so we decided to give this place a shot. We had our dog with us as well, so luckily there was outdoor seating here. We ordered the Spicy Mac Burger with a side of mash potatoes, and Smoky Loaded Fries with hickory pulled pork. The service here was quite nice, and it didn't take too long to receive our order as well. I'm glad there were also heaters outside cause it was really cold in the patio haha. We got the burger and fries all at once. We were trying to just have a small snack before dinner, but this became a meal LOL. The loaded fries were also huge! The burger was smaller than expected, but the ingredients made it huge. I tried some of the burger first, I wish the mac and cheese was a bit cheesier because I actually didn't really notice it at first. The burger also wasn't spicy. Although, the onion rings that came with it were pretty huge. The overall burger was pretty difficult to eat, so I had my bf eat nearly the entire thing and he enjoyed this burger a lotttt. Next trying the loaded fries, they were actually my favorite! There were a lot of ingredients to this, and the pulled pork was actually pretty hefty! They are generous with the proteins here and the loaded fries are very well worth the value. The loaded fries was actually LOADED. Overall, this became my bf's favorite restaurant in big bear lol. The fries were good, but the burger was personally too much for me. read more

Great food, atmosphere and service. Casual family dining, brisket was great!! Staff was friendly and fast

The food is ridiculously good -- especially the chicharrones, which deserve their own fan club. Perfectly crispy, insanely flavorful, and basically impossible to stop eating once they hit the table. Everything we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care, but what really sets this spot apart is the staff. Every single person we interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and happy to be there -- the kind of service that makes you want to come back even before you've finished your meal. Add in the lovely, relaxed vibe and you've got a BBQ spot that feels just as good as it tastes. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. read more

I've ordered their famous brisket with a choice of 2 sides, and a pulled pork burger with slaw. Brisket portion is pretty large and would be a great sharing plate. Tender, juicy, and fatty with hints of smoked flavor. Burgers are also a great choices. Their side list is also pretty selective. read more
