TL;DR: be prepared for a wait. great service and probably the best breakfast in town?…read more Came on a Thursday morning and were surprised to see a wait. Put our name down and had to wait ~30min which was fine since we just window-shopped the nearby shops Ordered: - Corned beef hash (4.5/5): delicious flavor but wish there was a bigger portion of corned beef especially when compared to the hash brown. tip: ask for a hard fry to get extra texture - short stack pancakes (3/5): pancake texture was alright but not particularly special. Being covered in whipped cream doesn't help. Decent value though if you're fueling up Would definitely come back if we're back in town Cheers, Villager Coffee!

We had already waited about 45 minutes and were second on the waiting list when everything basically came to a stop. What made it worse was the attitude from the woman working up front. Instead of being understanding or communicating clearly with customers who had already been waiting, she came across as rude and dismissive. Meanwhile, other surrounding businesses were already back up and running. Unexpected outages happen, but a busy restaurant should have some type of backup plan or process for situations like this, especially when customers have already been waiting that long. We were looking forward to eating here, but the lack of preparation and customer service made the experience extremely disappointing.

It was pretty chilly so we wanted a restaurant that at least had an outdoor heater. Most of the places we walked by didn't have an outdoor heater. We walked by Sunsets Island Bar and Grill. Zach went in to ask if we could eat inside with Coco and they said yes! In my head I was already giving them 5 stars for allowing us inside with Coco. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We didn't even need to ask for a water bowl for Coco since they got brought right away. Here's what we got: - Pupu platter (share) - Huli huli chicken (mine) - Mushroom ravioli (his) - Ube cheesecake (dessert to share) The pupu platter was very good. The fried pieces weren't TOO fried thankfully. They were perfectly crunchy and hot. The huli huli chicken was very tender. The mango bits contrasted well with the chicken and the veggies. The ravioli was really good too and they give you a lot. The ube cheesecake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and even Zach liked it and he doesn't like to eat dessert ever. Overall, this was probably our best meal during our time here. I would definitely recommend coming here because the staff are friendly, the vibes are great and the food is fantastic.

I don't leave negative reviews lightly, but this was, without question, one of the worst restaurant…read moreexperiences our family has ever had. The evening started with our reservation being "lost." In hindsight, we should have taken that as our cue to leave. Instead, we stayed, and unfortunately everything went downhill from there. Service was painfully slow. It took approximately 45 minutes just to receive water, over an hour for our drinks, and nearly two hours before our food arrived. By the time dinner finally came, we were beyond hungry. The food was even more disappointing than the wait. The "grilled cheese" looked like it was made with individually wrapped processed American cheese slices--and somehow, after nearly two hours, the cheese wasn't even melted. I ordered the branzino expecting a delicate, flaky white fish with lemon. Instead, it arrived so overcooked and dry that lifting it with a fork brought up the entire fish in one piece. It had the texture of fish jerky. The zucchini alongside it was cold and had the unmistakable texture of previously frozen vegetables. My son ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. They were bland, dry, and overcooked. He's the least picky eater in our family and wouldn't eat them. Ironically, the only edible dish on the table was my husband's Huli Huli chicken--which the rest of us ended up sharing because we'd waited so long and were starving. Our server was kind, but we saw her only a handful of times during what became a two-and-a-half-hour dinner. To make matters worse, I woke up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach after eating only a couple bites of the fish. Given our experience, I genuinely struggle to reconcile it with so many glowing reviews. Save yourself the time, the money, and the frustration. There are far better places to spend an evening.

Just show up before 7:45 pm (last call for seating). The food is very freshly made and is pretty good for a buffet. The kitchen staff will accommodate you if you have any dietary restrictions. Beverages and desserts are included in the price. And the staff is very attentive and friendly. It's so nice to have a low stress dining option onsite. Plus, there is a bar and tavern in the back if you want something smaller. Tip for dinner: save room for dessert. It's a small selection, but hits the spot for post dinner treat. Tip for breakfast: don't wait until the end of the dining time to get what you want from the buffet, the staff starts clearing the buffet items about 15-20 minutes before last seating and they won't refill some items.

Our waitress, Hannah, was really nice. She introduced herself right away, took our drink orders, and was very friendly. We got our appetizer pretty quickly, but our main food did take about 30 minutes to come out. Since the restaurant was so busy, it was understandable, but it was definitely a bit of a wait. For food, we tried a few different things: Patty Melt on gluten-free bread: 3/5 It was okay. Elote Tots: 5/5 SO GOOD! Definitely one of the highlights. Taproom Burger: 4/5 Really good! California Hot Dog: 3/5 It was okay. Strawberry Lemonade & Regular Lemonade: 10/10 AMAZING! Two of us had the strawberry lemonade and two had the regular lemonade, and we absolutely loved them. We had a good experience! The ambience was fun, the drinks were amazing, and Hannah was very sweet. The food was a little hit or miss depending on what you order, and there was a wait for our entrées, but the elote tots and lemonades are absolutely worth trying!

We got the Cali veggie burger and spicy veggie burger, and both were AMAZING. Honestly, one of the best veggie burgers I've had. We got fries with one and a salad with the other. If ever confused, GET THE FRIES They were so fresh and delicious! The staff were super friendly, there's plenty of parking in the lot, and it's just a short drive from Lake Arrowhead. They have a ton of indoor and outdoor seating, with cool art on the walls. Definitely coming back here every time we're in the Lake Arrowhead area!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Friendly place, with good food and lots of local art…read more Our friends who are Lake Arrowhead locals suggested we meet here for lunch. It was quaint and welcoming, with friendly servers. They had a good number of vegetarian options (which was why our friends suggested it), and the hubby got the Bbq veggie burger with fries, and I got the veggie mushroom cheese steak sandwich. The hubby thought his burger was just ok, but the fries were amazing. I in turn thought my sandwich was great, but the side salad was just fine. Our friends enjoyed their grilled salmon salads. When I said there was lots of local art, they had them everywhere, even the bathroom! Some nice stuff, too. Definitely worth stopping in.

My wife and I ordered two vanilla lattes, the chicken and waffles, and a sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful, absolutely zero notes. The coffee is fantastic, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the service moving quickly even when they were busy. We ended up coming back the next two days as well. We loved it so much that we came back one evening to try their pizza, and it didn't disappoint either. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Excellent food, great coffee, and wonderful service!

Ok coffee, decent folks, but overall really disappointing. Issues I saw:…read more The price! We had accumulated a few gift cards over time so we decided to use them to stop by. We bought 2 coffees (a 12 oz drip coffee with half and half and a 16 oz iced latte). We also got 2 bagel breakfast sandwiches. Our total was $39!!!!! Even my tiny drip coffee cost significantly more than a Starbucks equivalent! The Quality I truly hate to say it because I want local businesses to be successful, but everything was low quality. My drip coffee was lukewarm when I got it, my wife said she prefers iced coffee from del taco compared to the one she had here. But the really disappointing thing was the sandwiches. First, they came out heaped with lettuce (on a breakfast sandwich???) I've never seen that before, and we didn't ask for it. After we picked the lettuce off of the sandwiches they were very small (especially for the price!!) I managed to eat about 2 bites of mine before I couldn't stomach it anymore. It was just bad. The sausage patty tasted freezer burned and was extremely dry and the egg white was undercooked. I love an over easy egg, but this was not that. This egg was not cooked enough to be served. My wife made it about 1 bite further than I did, then she had to call it quits. All in all, we paid $40 to throw away our sandwiches and drink aggressively mediocre coffee. What really sucks is that I want to support local businesses! I would love to keep going to a small local shop. But when they rob us blind and serve food like that, I can't justify it.

Not sure why they added mexican food to the menu when it's an "American Diner", especially when there is a pretty damn good mexican restaurant 100 feet West of this establishment.

And stay clear of the fryer, it's seed oil! It used to be beef tallow when I was in high-school, sure miss the delicious fries and onion rings from those days, we would dip them in the chocolate malt made from scratch! Most likely, we wont be getting that original menu back any time soon.

I'll start with the bad, on the outside its like a fresh, red, and juicy apple, but apples can be decieviving, and this one was. To me the interior was very subpar and lacked that "woods-cabin-lake-vibe". I would have preferred it to match the aesthetic of the forest which sorounds it. I really just think more care could've been put into the interior design. Now onto the food. The sandwiches felt like my mother packed them. I definitely felt the love but you know moms, flavors not always there. But here's Peter John Leesons v's little secret, you got to add pickled jalapeño's and not just on deli sandwiches but everything!!! I got the veggie sandwich with chaddar cheese‍. The veggies came super fresh and the lettuce had a very nice crunch to it. This sandwich sounds good so far, right? WRONG!!! As fantastic as the veggies were, the bread was genuinely low quality and that is just not optimal for a good sandwich. Bread is the corner stone to a high quality sandwich and thats what I felt was really lacking. As a suggestion, I think if you asked the wonderful employees to toast your sandwiches it would be a lot better. Speaking of those kind and welcoming employees, their service really made this experience for me. The sweet woman behind the deli counter seemed incredibly locked in‍ and got our sandwichs out in record time. This quality service continued to the check out counter, where I met my charmingly awkward cashier. Overall, I will say that the cedar glen fine foods market is not bad especially for those looking for a cheap affordable sandwich, it just needs some aesthetic elbow grease (of course referring to the interior). One suggestion I have is to make the food racks wood and paint the walls a more in inviting color!!!! thank you devoted for your time and love Peter John Leeson V Signed out
