The Corvette and the Peanut Butter Malt!!!…read more If you're anywhere near the mountains, do yourself a favor and stop by Cedar Glen Malt Shop. This was hands down one of the best burgers and malts I've ever had. The burger was fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite tasted like it was made with care instead of rushed out of the kitchen. Then came the malt, thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect classic pairing with an already incredible burger. One of the coolest touches is how they name many of their burgers after classic cars. It's a fun, nostalgic theme that fits the old-school malt shop atmosphere and gives the menu a personality you don't see very often. Great food, friendly service, and a unique experience make this place well worth the drive. I'll definitely be coming back to work my way through the rest of those "car" burgers. Highly recommended!

I came here as a family of five, and overall enjoyed our experience…read more Service was overall friendly, very good and quick. However, I had to ask for one or two things multiple times. The kids meal was adorable and came in a cardboard 50 style car. If you're gonna order the macaroni and cheese, just be aware that it takes a little longer to cook compared to everything else, but it comes out hot. However, the noodles are slightly overcooked. The fish and chips are made with cod and I highly recommend. Very crispy and hot. You get three fairly generous pieces per order. The thing that really makes this place shine are there milkshakes and malts. We offered to upgrade the kids beverage to a peanut butter chocolate milkshake for a very affordable price and served as dessert for the whole table. This place is no-frills, but very family friendly. There were lots of families there. For napkins, they had a giant roll of paper towels on every table. The bathrooms were fairly clean.

Started our date with lunch at The Lakefront Taproom Bar & Kitchen, enjoying delicious food with an amazing view of the lake.

1/5 -- Would absolutely not return…read more I honestly wish I could give this place zero stars for the food. This was easily one of the worst meals my family and I have had in a very long time. We drove up from Riverside to spend the day at Lake Arrowhead Village and enjoy Oktoberfest. We asked a local where we should eat and ended up giving Lakefront Tap Room a try. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. First, I want to make something VERY clear: our waitress, Sam, was fantastic. She was extremely nice, friendly, attentive, and treated my family great. My one star has absolutely nothing to do with her. If I were rating Sam, she'd get five stars. The FOOD, however, was horrible. My fish and chips were probably the only halfway decent thing at the table. I also ordered two margaritas. They were extremely small and, for what you're paying, nothing special whatsoever. But my daughter's cheeseburger was what really did it for me. My daughter is 15, blind, and an extremely picky eater, so we intentionally order her food as simple as possible: bun, meat, cheese, and Thousand Island. That's it. We're talking about a basic cheeseburger. What came out looked terrible. The bun was extremely dry and there was hardly any Thousand Island on it. I asked another waiter for a side of Thousand Island, and he brought me a little cup of some watery brownish-orange liquid. I honestly don't know what it was supposed to be. It had the consistency of water and looked nothing like any Thousand Island dressing I've ever seen. My daughter took ONE tiny bite of her burger and immediately wanted nothing more to do with it. I don't blame her. We pushed the basically untouched burger to the edge of the table and told our waitress we didn't want it. Then we were told they'd take about TWO DOLLARS off the bill because she didn't like her $20+ burger. Seriously? My wife's patty melt wasn't any better. It was overcooked, the bread was extremely hard, and overall it was just bad. For the prices this restaurant charges, the quality of the food was completely unacceptable. Being in a beautiful location overlooking Lake Arrowhead doesn't make up for serving terrible food at tourist prices. Again, Sam was awesome. I actually feel bad leaving one star because she did such a good job, but I'm reviewing the restaurant and the food we paid for, not just our waitress. We will absolutely NEVER eat here again. There are plenty of other places to spend your money at Lake Arrowhead Village. I strongly suggest choosing one of them.

Spade & Spatula in Blue Jay is such a great find, especially if you're vegetarian!…read more The huge selection of vegetarian options is actually what made me want to stop here, and I'm so glad we did. 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.

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.

Our first visit to the Lake Arrowhead sports grill and bar was fantastic…read more I was afraid to go there as I pictured multiple tvs blaring at me, and while they did have several tvs with sports on, the volume was off, and they offered to change the channel for us, so it really wasn't intrusive at all. Our waiter could not have been nicer. I wish I could remember his name. He was so kind and eager to make our visit a good one. We started with the deep fried mushrooms which were good, but a little too heavily battered for my taste. They came with 2 dipping sauces, a spicy aoli style and an Asian chili sauce (sweet). I had the grilled salmon with lemon caper sauce. It came with your choice of 2 sides. I got the fully loaded baked potato and steamed vegetables. My meal was delicious and a large serving that I could not finish. Good value at $24. My husband got the ribeye with herb roasted potatoes and a salad. The salad was large and fresh with plenty of carrots and tomatoes. The herb roasted potatoes were delicious, but I would definitely get the fully loaded baked potato again. My husband said his ribeye was delicious and cooked exactly as he asked (medium). I had a martini which was a generous pour and the bartender even hand-stuffed some olives with blue cheese for me which was really kind as the bar was quite busy. The atmosphere was great - filled with people enjoying themselves dining, talking, and laughing. Restrooms were spacious and clean. My only complaint was that the seats were hard wood. It would be nice to have cushions of some sort, but that won't stop us from coming back for the good food & drinks, and great service at lake arrowhead sports grill and bar!
