    My wife and I went to the Yodeler last weekend in Wrightwood CA, and it was great as ever. I have…read morebeen here since the late 1970s and throughout the years have seen different menu changes, but the building has stayed relatively the same. My children like this place, my wife likes this place and obviously lots of other people do. My wife and I shared the poutine, and we had some chicken wings as an appetizer. She likes Guinness draft there and I had Sour Monkey Triple draft. The poutine was good and it was the first time my wife had tried it--she loved it. I thought there could have been a little bit more of the cheese curd, it was fried, but I know every place makes theirs a little different. The atmosphere is great; it reminds you of a cabin on the inside and of course you're in Wrightwood CA so it's a perfect mountain hangout. The tables are clean, the area swept up and a very inviting indoor environment as outdoor environment. This is a rustic environment, so don't expect four-star accommodation. Again, as I said, it is perfect for this area, and I would expect nothing less. The service was great, we had two or three different servers, and they were always polite, knew their menu well, and offered upgrades. Had a great conversation with this server and he had been coming up there for years himself before working there. His daughter and wife were outside, and he would periodically chat with them which made us feel like it was a great family environment. The menu is varied and they have some excellent hamburgers; I have had the patty melt in the past. There is something about being 5000 feet above sea level, having a cold drink, and hot food; it's amazing. If you happen to be up in the Wrightwood area stop by at this place you will not regret it the food is hot and tasty, the beer is cold and the service and ambience is excellent,

We always order the ribeye steak and split it because the portion is huge and always cooked just right. It's one of those meals we look forward to every time we come up. The karaoke is another reason we keep coming back. It's always a fun atmosphere, whether you're singing or just watching everyone else perform. The staff has always been friendly, and the whole place has that laid-back local vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're visiting Big Bear, definitely add Murray's to your list!

I ordered the clubhouse and my wife did her usual fish tacos, and both were prepared to perfection. Your prices are among the lowest in town and we appreciate that. It is clear that your kitchen takes great pride in what they send out and that you personally care for your customers. As excellent as the food was, the service was twice as good. I want to give a special commendation to Amanda and Ashley. Their hospitality, attentiveness, and amazing service truly elevated our dining experience. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their hard work did not go unnoticed. My Diet Pepsi cup was never empty and trust me, I drank a lot of it. You have a wonderful team and a great spot in Big Bear Lake. Please pass along our sincere thanks and appreciation to Amanda, Ashley, and the kitchen staff for a memorable meal. It made our day.

    I own a place up here, and I spend at least one weekend every few weeks in Lake Arrowhead, and I've…read morebeen to Dogwood a couple of times. For the mountain, it's solid, the bartenders are friendly, the drinks are good, and the food is decent. That said, my main concern is with the atmosphere. It's... fine. And that's exactly the problem. As most of us know, there's a serious lack of entertainment options up here, especially for people under 60. Despite the older demographic, there's still a sizable group of younger, creative, and social folks looking for something to do. Sure, you could be satisfied with a '70s rock cover band for the 100th time in the village, but if not, then Dogwood has the potential to be the go-to spot if it just puts in a bit more effort. The last event listed on your website was in 2019. The last Instagram post was over two months ago, and the one before that was for New Year's Eve. With that kind of minimal effort in promoting and programming, it's no surprise the vibe is lacking. If Dogwood committed even 50% effort to curating consistent experiences and letting people know about them, I believe it could be one of the best spots on the mountain. Come on guys, my 94-year-old grandmother could do a better marketing job than you, and she barely knows how to use the internet. If you do better, you will be better!

    The staff especially Mike is amazingly nice and tentative to our large group!! Really appreciate…read morethe food as well - got the dogwood burger. It was delicious and the fries were good as well! Would recommend for a nice night with friends!!
