    Hoss. It never disappoints. 3 eggs, hash browns, sourdough toast and a big hamburger patty.

    Love this place for breakfast. Had the Hoss. It never disappoints. 3 eggs, hash browns, sourdough toast and a big hamburger patty. Wifey had the lil Joe, one egg, bacon, hash browns and 1/2 of a sourdough waffle. Sourdough waffles are amazing. Service is amazing. They're all very nice and attentive. If it's the weekend prepare to wait for a seat and parking is limited and can be a challenge. Just keep circling.

    Service is slooooowww, but the large plate size and flavor made my hangry man baby quite content. The sourdough pancake was delicious, and my basic scrambled eggs and side of avo were good (red salsa is AMAZING), but the chefs kiss was my hubby's "chainsaw and eggs" plate. He has commented at least ten times how much he liked it. Whew, he was hangry so crisis adverted! Service though, very very slow. We had to get up to go get coffee or napkins, but no biggie.

    Last girls trip to Big Bear, and my friend raved about the green chilaquiles breakfast from Lumberjack Cafe, so we rolled out of bed early on Saturday and rolled into the cafe at 9:00 am. I spotted corned beef hash on the menu and you know me I couldn't resist! Corned beef hash can be a gamble but this one was a slam dunk with crispy edges, tender center and entirely delicious. My eggs over easy were a tad runny but the hash more than redeemed them. But the real showstopper? The green chilaquiles. The salsa was... unexplainably magical. Bright, zingy, and just different enough to make you wonder if they bottled this stuff in fairy dust. I wish they sold the sauce separately so I could bring a jar home and pretend I made a chef's kiss at home. By the time we finished eating, the restaurant was packed and people were waiting for tables proof that great breakfast travel far and fast. Bottom line: I'd drive back to Big Bear just to eat here again. Breakfast is my jam, and Lumberjack Cafe is now my jam's new best friend. Would I recommend? Absolutely! If you love a solid breakfast lineup, a surprising salsa, and crispy hash, Lumberjack Cafe is your spot.

    We came in on a Sunday morning around 10, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. It's very small inside. This place needs better customer service, one of the girls sat us at our table and literally just dumped the utensils and menus on our table without saying a word. Our waitress was great tho, she was very lovely and accommodating, actually communicated with us. The food was good, 8/10 The eggs and hash brown were my fave, they were very buttery (not so healthy I guess) My son got the breakfast burrito and it was huge, he really liked it, but was only able to eat half.

    Great food and customer service. Parking is easy. We got seated right away on a Monday during January, with a party of 9. We sat at two different tables, but we didn't mind. The food came out pretty fast and everyone enjoyed their meal. Nothing fancy. Small town diner vibes. I would recommend this place. I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

    Great service and good food! Nice seating outside to enjoy the weather during the summer.

    Loved this place! Was a local for over 5 years and regret not visiting sooner. We walked over with our large dog. Kids driving their little car(great parking for it ). We sat in the front patio. Got a tuna melt and a breakfast dish. Koda our great Pyrenees's even got some eggs. Everything was sooo yummy! Michelada was on point. The tuna melt! I've never had such a perfect tuna melt ever. The kids absolutely devoured the chocolate chip pancakes. Owners are great people too. They work hard to maintain their place in the community and it shows. They constantly have their regulars.

    The people there were super welcoming !!! I really loved how the people working there took the time…read moreto get to know us ! The food was soo amazing !!! Tasted so fresh !!! Definitely will recommend this place !

    In response to the owner's reply…read more.. Service isn't just serving food and tasting your food. It's a combination of your logistics and workflow of your organization. Perhaps unorganized in the kitchen or slow in production. This isn't merely just waiting but the fact that your own staff told us different wait times. We did wait. We waited according to your instructions and schedule. We were told many different wait times every time we followed up and asked. The time kept getting longer and longer when there were no other parties waiting but us. First we were told 30mins, then literally minutes later it changed. Then an additional 20mins added. Then, 30. Then we waited, and it changed again. They kept telling us it would be longer and longer. Why would the time go backwards? A small gilled cheese sandwich for an hour? One order. You can ask any business owner or any place outside of your small town that it is a ridiculous wait time for a customer to wait for that long for one small sandwich. Instead of arguing back with your customers, a decent thing to do would have been to apologize and just have accommodated the sandwich just for having us almost an hour of waiting without even getting in. A true business owner wouldn't have responded in how you did. Not only horrible service, but bad ownership practices so I see where it reflects poorly.

    Food was delicious. Highly recommend. We stopped by on a whim on Father's Day around 4:30. They…read morewere sold out of a few things but still had plenty to choose from. My boys had bacon burgers, and I ordered the chicken, pulled pork, and cheddar jalapeño sausages. It was all really good. The Mac N Cheese and Coleslaw were very tasty too. We were all very happy with our food. Picnic bench, patio seating only. My only complaint would be finding it was a little tricky. No signs out front on the building. But park at the ELKS Lodge and walk around back. Very friendly cashier. You won't regret it.

    Don't sleep on the Cookshak. Probably the best brisket I have ever had in my life…read more First off don't let google maps take you down the little side street to the side driveway, what you want to do is pull into this old Elks lodge building with the huge vacant looking lot that says for Elks only. You're fine, its also for patrons of the Cookshak. Next follow along around the side of the lodge into the backyard area and you'll come across a concrete patio w benches and tables. Order from the window and take your food to eat out on the back patio. The menu is different from what you can find on these Yelp menu photos so expect the prices to be a lot higher than two years ago, but prices are way higher everywhere from two years ago. I ordered a one item plate w two sides thinking I might not have ordered enough food but boy was I wrong. The sides portions are huge, the cornbread is huge, and the meat filled me up. The beans here are a spicy chili bean type that went great on top of the corn bread. The slaw was very good and the mac n cheese was reminiscent of kraft mac n cheese only w/ the addition of pepper and a sharper cheese flavor giving it a memorable taste. The potato salad was decent, potatoes prolly coulda been cooked a tiny bit longer but the rest of the salad tasted good. The star of the show was the brisket. You will get a slice or two near the end that might be cooked thru a little too much for my liking but the majority of what you get is melt in your mouth deliciousness. The honey mustard sauce they offer is perfect to dip the well done slices in but the juicy slices go great unassisted. I originally picked this spot because the other popular bbq spot nearby didn't open until 3 but I am glad I picked this spot because the food left me satisfied for the rest of the day and left me w a smile on my face afterwards.
