    What a pleasant surprise. Mountain Munchies, all American comfort food. Great service and very good food. What this little eatery lacks in fancy, it more than makes up for in great eats. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, with breakfast served all day. They made me a mean Arnold Palmer to go with a very tasty Salisbury Steak dinner that was just slightly too big to finish without some help. Not fancy, just fresh and delicious.

    Decided to try this place out, and I was blown away. This sandwich is very flavorful, and the meats are juicy as well. The cashier was kind, he recommend me to use the white roll I got, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! The vibes were nice, it seemed like a very chill spot, not too noisy and comfortable too. I would definitely come back, this sandwich is packed with tons of flavor and very filling too. I was only able to finish half of it lol. My total was about $17 and some change.

    Mountain Munchies is a long-standing restaurant in Big Bear Lake, known for its hearty breakfast, lunch, and dinner comfort food, including large sandwiches, burgers, and classic diner fare, available for dine-in or takeout. It offers a casual, rustic atmosphere with indoor and patio seating, and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists looking for substantial, all-American meals after activities like hiking or skiing.

    We tried this place when we arrived at Big Bear, it looked very promising. It was a Friday night and it was empty, the dining area was empty, is seemed like people were ordering to go instead. The girl in the front was very welcoming and nice when she took our order. As for the food, I did not like the sandwich, I ordered the Lumberjack and they gave me some other sandwich. It had 3 different meats, way too much meat for my liking. I took out all I didn't want and tried to eat half. It was very bland, no flavor. Jersey Mikes is right across and theirs has more flavor. Like I said, I had high expectations.. My son liked his sandwich tho. I did like the onion rings and the mozzarella sticks. The curly fries needed seasoning. French toast was 10/10 according to my brother.

    This is a small little sandwich place and it does get very busy. Food was okay at least for me. I ordered french toast with strawberries and well it had a little too much egg taste. My strawberries tasted like they were sliced with same knife as they chopped onions or something. Didn't enjoy my breakfast. My parents and kids definitely enjoyed theirs. Plus, the service was great, young lady seemed to be alone when we got there because she was working the cashier, cleaning tables and also as the server. Reason why I am not giving anything lower than a 4 star. More employees started arriving as it was really getting busy, they already had a line outside of ppl trying to go in. Recommended for their sandwiches, steak, omelettes but just not their french toast.

    From, the online pictures are really expected this to be a bigger restaurant. It is on the smaller side but definitely worth a visit. The food was really great and it was at a fair price. The service was really great. Our waitress kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good because we did have a little bit of a large party and seemed really sweet. If you're in big Bear for a visit and want a good meal at a good price, check them out.

    The breakfast here is really good. Ordered the traditional breakfast and biscuits and gravy - very tasty. There are about twelve booths and the staff do a great job getting folks seated, but there can be a line. They also serve lunch and dinner, with a great variety of vintage sodas. Shares parking lot in the Stater Bros. shopping center.

    First time here. We ordered a meatball sandwich and a mountain high salad. Both were fine but not anything exceptional. Counter person was efficient but not really friendly. I prefer to support independent restaurants rather than chain restaurants so I would try them again but order something different.

    Our first time eating here and we ordered takeout. The food was good. I liked the snow bunny sandwich more.

    Salisbury Steak
    Jason T.

    Great quantity, good quality, good value. Came here for a takeout lunch while all my friends and I were visiting Big Bear. Expecting expensive prices and small quantities I was slightly surprised by the large quantity of food I got. Ultimately the lunch costed around $20 bucks but I was very satisfied with the meal I got. Salisbury Steak: Umami, rich, filling, hefty. The Salisbury Steak dinner came with a big ground beef patty, mashed potatoes, and green beans topped with a thick gravy that included mushrooms and onions. I was looking for something for value and had a lot of protein and this hit both my check marks. I was extremely satisfied with my order and would recommend this for anyone who is trying to meet their protein macros! Side Salad: Light, citrusy, refreshing. The side salad was honestly unremarkable. The vinaigrette wasn't anything necessarily special and the salad included a bunch of lettuce and some tomato slices. It's nice as an add on to help you feel a bit more full but it's nothing to write home about. The line here was long and it took maybe half an hour close to 45 minutes to order and get our food. The employees were quick with the service and did not disappoint. There was a dining area which had a nice classic American diner aesthetic but we didn't end up dining in.

    Pastrami. Corned beef. Swiss. Pickle and mustard on sourdough.

    Service was awesome. Waitress was nice, fast and attentive. My sandwich was a home run it definitely hit the spot. Chill. Loved it. Will be back.

    Half order biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich with bacon.

    The food was delicious! We got the HALF order of biscuits and gravy (still a large portion), breakfast sandwich with bacon, and breakfast burrito with bacon and sausage. The burrito came with fresh salsa, not the kind out of a jar from a grocery store. 10/10 would recommend.

    A staple place in BB! I love Mountain munchies! From everything they offer, I will take them all! With that said, we came here a while back during Tour de Big Bear. Whenever we are in BB we always make sure to stop by this place to get our food at least once! We got the grilled chicken salad, which, so good!! Their grilled chicken here is juicy and a bit crispy on some edges, so good, very different from the usual dried out grilled chicken on most salad! Then my bf and his parents got different kinds of sandwiches and they were huge and so yummy! Staff were very friendly and there is always a line to either dine in or for takeouts so be patient!

    Sandwiches are phenomenal! Large enough to satisfy most appetites. Breakfast burrito is also a solid choice.

    A typical diner, food was good, service was slow, environment was small. Not a bad place if you are looking for some basic diner food.

    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.

You're part of the fam as soon as you walk in through the giant shark mouth. It can be a little overwhelming for a first time visitor with its mix of regulars and first timers. There is a winding line that jumps across the main aisle when it gets long, and sometimes goes out the door on busy days. Just ask anyone and they'll help you figure it out. They all had that same experience their first time in this non-traditional order system. The bro behind the bar will invite you to order a drink while you wait in line to order your food, which you can also do at one of the kiosks after the line jump. When you get to the front, you order from one of three giant screens you scroll through to pick your food and drinks, pay with your card and wait for the staff to tell you your order has washed up on the beach. I've tried several of their bows but have settled on the Pele bowl, usually with a cucumber base and only one scoop of rice. They have beef, chicken and ahi in a wide variety of flavors, and again, if you're not sure, ask a staff member and they're happy to help you through the process. They have small waffles as a base option but I have not tried those. I'm sure they're good. There is a reason they're consistently ranked one of the top restaurants nationwide -- yes, poke on a mountain top -- unlike anywhere else you may have it.

    Since my last visit they moved into a new location which is a big upgrade! It's a super fun, quirky…read more(you literally walk in through a shark's mouth), awesome tropical vibe and has way more interior and exterior seating than their old location. When you enter, you order on a touchscreen and then they'll call your name and/or number for your drinks first then your food and you walk up to the counter, get your food and then sit wherever you want - like at In&Out! I highly recommend getting their smoothies since they are DELICIOUS! Think tropical blended drinks but without the alcohol. So refreshing and you can still do the curvy drive up/down the mountain! Their poke bowls aren't as amazing as I remember sadly. They are a little too over the top in terms of strong thick sauces and bold overpowering flavors. Their pulled pork bowl was still yummy though despite all of their rice in all of our 3 bowls being a little undercooked (I prefer the fluffy sticky rice) So 5 stars for ambiance, 5 stars for service, 5 stars for drinks and 3.5 stars for food imho. Too bad I can't give 4.5 stars.
