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

Jasper's Barbeque - Great BBQ and a dog friendly patio. - Barbeque Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

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

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

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

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. It's a smaller restaurant so keep that in mind if you're coming on a weekend, it can get pretty busy. Over all the food was delicious, drinks were good, definitely would recommend checking out! 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

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

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

Great spot to stop!! We walked in and sat down immediately. The waiter came and got us drinks and we ordered food.

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

This was EXACTLY the place we were looking for. We were casual with a little girl and walked by the 2 other bbq places coming up in the Village... too fancy with a focus on beer and wine. Jaspers hit the spot!! I can't wait to go back! We felt welcome, had our choice of sitting inside or outside. Inside looked cozy but outside felt so nice as the day was so beautiful out. And service was awesome and food... omg! Outstandingly delicious! 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. Overall, decent food with room for improvement, especially on consistency and service. read more

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

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

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

So good! We dined with a group of 8 outside and it was so nice. Service was great and the fried pickles :)

Came in Friday night 1/17 around 8pm and were told they were only taking to-go orders. No problem, places get busy. We really wanted to try this spot, so we made the effort to come back the very next day. Returned Saturday 1/18 at lunchtime around 1pm, expecting a better experience. Instead, the host was rude and dismissive, saying they weren't taking any more guests for the waiting list and, somehow, also weren't taking to-go orders either. At lunch. On a Saturday. So to recap: turned away once, gave them a second chance, and were shut down again...with attitude this time. If you don't want customers, just say that. Plenty of other places are happy to take business read more

This place has good beer on tap nice patio area. They had pulled pork. They had brisket and turkey sandwich, sandwiches, and grilled cheese. They have a loaded fries and Chicharron For sides. Yum .quick service. The places was nice to clean and they greeted you well when you came in. Thank you, Vanessa for taking care of us. read more

A little cookout restaurant! Both indoor and outdoor patio is filled with barbecue-smoked meats. Staff are friendly and checkins regularly. 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

Was hyped to try Jasper out after a long drive in. Parking is fun, it was a mission to find any. The server was great, helped with explaining the menu well. I went with half rack or ribs and garlic parm wings. For sides, had the fries and mac and cheese. The ribs were ok and the wings were not my favorite. The garlic parm sauce was not it for me. The fries were crispy and good. The mac was lacking in flavor definitely don't recommend that. Over Jasper was ok read more

Ehhh... I hate to be the bearer of bad reviews, but it was okay. The ribs were 5/10, sorry. You can taste the rub on there and it was a bit grainy. Lucille's has better BBQ. We were disappointed and the 15-minute wait wasn't even worth it. The meats tasted like they were reheated or a day old. Our meals weren't cheap, but honestly, I'd pay double the price for a good BBQ restaurant. The sides were better than the meat. I'll just stop here. read more

The food was somewhat cold and not thoroughly cooked. Fries felt like cafeteria fries and the onion rings were stiff. The rack of ribs was undercooked (shockingly). The beans were great and the pulled pork sandwich was pretty rough. The service was satisfactory. The ambiance was squished and fairly loud in there with people very unaware of their surroundings and rude. Music was pretty good though! Overall a 2.5 out of 5. Not exactly expecting lucille's quality food here but for a small business show that you care about your establishment, this level of quality control is unacceptable. read more

The place was almost empty. We were seated right away on the patio. The waitress came to take our drinks order immediately and we asked if the space heaters could be turned on (they were never turned on... after we stayed for 1.5 hours). We ordered our food 10 minutes later. The food took 50 minutes to reach our table (!). The chicken sandwiches were so burnt and dry that my wife and our son in law returned theirs. It's my first time to see my wife returning a sandwich. Ever. I had a bite and it was so hard to I couldn't chew (see my photo). The waitress was not happy we returned the food. She said it's the way it should be since the chicken breast is smoked. They sent back more sandwiches that were identical, just with more sauce to compensate the dryness of the chicken. I tried the brisket. Absolutely nothing standing out. We ordered a side salad without topings and of course it came with everything (probably pre-made). They use frozen fries. Poor service, very poor quality food. Paid $197 for 4 adults 2 kids. Will never go back. read more

Stopped here for some lunch. They have outdoor seating and you can bring your dog. The service was great. The food was okay. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the meat was a little dry. The side salad was nice and crisp and the blue cheese dressing was delicious. Very clean inside and out. read more

For the price and wait time, this was a bit of a flop. For some reason, our ribs were rubbery, and there was a long tendon piece that went along the whole ribs that usually isn't on ribs when we order at restaurants. Sweet potatoe fries and Mac and cheese were tasty. Chicharrones were crunchy. But portion to price ratio was not it. I think we still felt hungry when it was two people. And went out for more food somewhere else. Parking can be tough as it fills up, and street parking also gets taken up. They were definitely busy and popular. We ordered to go because the wait for a table was 1.5 hour on a Sunday night. read more

If you're looking for a nice inexpensive (I use that word loosely since COVID) lunch then I highly recommend Jasper's! The sandwiches are decently priced and the portion of the sandwich is pretty decent! You have your choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We chose outdoor as the weather was perfect weather to sit outside! Ricardo instantly greeted us and brought us our drinks. The sandwiches were very tasty! On our next visit I will try their combo plates! read more
