My order came out to our table 15 minutes later (freshly cooked to order). The burger was better than I expected. The portion size of meat was very generous and the meat quality itself tasted very good. Almost like a mix of Five Guys and In n Out burgers. So delicious. The fries were deliciously crispy too. The inside of the restaurant is a little warm, but a good amount of comfortable seating is offered inside, and a dog friendly patio around the building. Loved all of the beautifully painted wall murals too. Good first-time experience and one of the top burger places in Big Bear, in my opinion.

Even left a tip for the great customer service though how am I waiting over an hour and still no food, I understand it may be "understaffed" but customers behind me in line are getting their food before mine. All I ordered was a singular patty burger and fries. I find it really cool they got Pepsi and cola though that's it. May NEVER come back here, genuinely taking their advice and going to Carl's Jr as they would NEVER be this bad at giving me a burger and it tastes 10x better. The bathrooms are clean and the area is nice, parking sucks just like the food. Might have to take back the tip I left from their tip jar as they literally just robbed me of my time. As I am writing this, my food has still not been given out and I already asked them about it, other customers are still being given priority despite more than an hour wait. Not coming back and do NOT recommend.

Brought our little one here and Fire Rock Burgers & Brews turned out to be a solid call. Parking is…read moreeasy -- there's a lot right behind the restaurant -- and the seating is generous: patio in the front, patio in the back, and a full indoor area. Brought the stroller in without any trouble, which is always a win. The atmosphere is what gets you first. There's a ton of cool decor to take in, and the menu has music-themed names for everything -- a fun detail if you're paying attention. Food was delicious and the beers on tap are a great selection to pair with it. Service was attentive and the vibe is comfortable for families without feeling like a kids' spot. It's just a good place, period. Definitely coming back.

We also got fries and Brussels spouts, which were also bomb Ambience is cool, nice seating inside as well as lots of seating on the patio. Plus heaters if it's chilly. TVs to watch the game.

Great small family ran business. If you are in or passing through Yermo and don't mind eating outside with a chill vibe, (we prefer outside) this place will not disappoint. We ordered chili cheese burger's with grilled onions and jalapeños and chili cheese fries with grilled onions and jalapeños as well and washed it all down with Mr. Pibb. Yes they have Mr. Pibb! The best soda EVER and hard to find. Our delicious burgers were flavorful and juicy and NOT thin cardboard. Chili cheese fries were amazing too. Great people, great food!!! We will be making this little hidden gem a must stop, when passing through Yermo. Thank you Richard and Mary. God bless you both, your mom and this special place too! Also, thanks Richard for recommending Mules Canyon Rd for trail for off roading. We went off of your recommendation and had a blast! Thanks again!!! See ya soon!

Just beyond EddieWorld is a local run down burger stand. It may look deserted, but I assure you…read moreit's still operational. If you're tired of the tourist crowds and lines at EddieWorld, I recommend this place for the convenience. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries based on the friendly guy's recommendation inside the order window. The $14.00 price was reasonable. Service was slow, though. I guess it's because he's the only guy there taking orders and making the food. By the time I took a bite of the pastrami sandwich, the wait was worth it. The taste is what you'd expect from a "typical" pastrami sandwich made fresh. I've had some phenomenal pastramis in my lifetime, and when I say "typical", it's a complement.

The food was phenomenal!! Everything there is sooo fresh and unique! You have to come and try the…read moreBlue Jay blue cheese burger and the strawberry sunflower salad. OH!

My wife and I are Crestline locals and absolutely love the Spade and Spatula!…read more My wife is a vegetarian and there are limited options on the mountain for her. She loves so many of the vegan/vegetarian options and orders something different every time! I go with the blue cheese burger. Tried it for the first time and love it so much that I haven't tried anything else! The bacon is cooked to perfection and the balsamic glaze just makes for a perfect touch. It's my favorite burger-- on or off the mountain! Oh and the fries (with the homemade ranch) are delicious. If you are visiting and looking for a spot on the mountain to check out, this is the place!

Can't go wrong with this platter, except those two were a little cold, needed to sit in the fryer a bit longer. Either way, scarfed. Cider, beer, sake cocktails. No hard alcohol. The sour beer hit the spot and Jamaica cider too. Ordered the smashburger, had to give it an honest rating. It's made UFO style, so all sealed in like an uncrustable, never seen this before. It ripped. Classic OG McDonald's burger. Nice staff tops it off! Thank you Moon Family

We…read morewere on our way home from lunch and decided to just stop by for a drink and check out the place, we were definitely intrigued by the mountain/space decor this place offered. We got a beer and a margarita and some pretzel bites and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. We also got to meet the owner (Kara) who was very friendly and nice to chat with. This place is located close to the ski slopes and is a nice place to stop by for a quick drink. Can't wait to come back and enjoy their outdoor seating area when the snow is gone, I hear they may be putting in a stage to have music on the weekends, can't wait to come back and try that out!

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a disappointing experience from start…read moreto finish. The burger made me feel nauseous, and the patty was extremely thin and lacked flavor. The fries were just basic, store-bought shoestring fries--nothing special at all. Service was also lacking. There was no one available to greet us or answer questions, which made the whole experience feel unorganized. They didn't have ice, and the drink options were limited to canned beverages or what seemed like store-bought water bottles - Walmart brand. On top of that, they didn't even have all the drinks they advertised. To make matters worse, when we were leaving, they didn't have proper takeout containers. Instead, we were given a small bag (meant for a cookie) to hold a chicken sandwich - size of a breast - which was pretty inconvenient. I also asked for grilled onions, but they were barely cooked and didn't add much to the meal. Overall, I would not recommend this place. There are definitely better options out there for the price and experience.

Blackened Smash Burger ($18): I had to get this for the black bun. It came with 2 smashed patties, caramelized onions, mushroom, and provolone truffle cream. It was good but the truffle flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked and I would have preferred it in a sauce rather than a cream. I paired it with a Caesar salad to balance out the heavy meal and that was a great call. Build Your Own Burger ($10) + Pork Belly ($7) + Additional Toppings ($2 each): My husband built his own burger with 2 smash patties, 3 toppings, and house aioli. He went with onions, scrambled eggs, mushroom, and bacon. The pork belly was amazing and the star of the show. The burger was very filling and umami and honestly tasted better than my blackened burger. No side needed. If you love burgers, this is the place for you!

This is a low-key, "local vibe" kind of diner ~ do not go here for ambiance or high end cuisine. That said, the server was friendly and helpful with the menu. We both had burgers and fries/onion rings - I had the Ortega burger with cheddar cheese, 5/5, SO GOOD!! WILL GET AGAIN!!! I knew the burger would be good, this place is your "typical diner" - however, I was actually blown away by it!! Fries and onion rings were delicious too!! Salty, crunchy and perfectly cooked. Ranch sauce was fire too. My BF has been eating at this place for years now, and has nothing but good things to say about this place as well. We can't wait to go back soon and try the Mexican food, as our server recommended trying that cuisine. Based off these experiences and the friendly head nod from the cook as we left - we'll be back and will try something new. I actually look forward to trying breakfast there as well, at some point soon, as I heard the people seated behind us talking how good their waffles and pancakes are. Please try this establishment, I hope you enjoy as much as we did!

I live in Los…read moreAngeles, so it's great to find a retro, SoCal diner up in the mountains that reminds me of back home. The food portions here are very generous, and the pricing is extremely fair. Just like any diner the menu is very large and has a lot of great options on it. Service was very fast and friendly, and they are true champions with staying on top of the drink refills. There is a large free parking lot right in front so parking is very easy and close. Inside is pretty small, they have about six booths and twice as many counter seats so if it is busy, you may have to wait a little bit, but it will be worth it. For this visit, I chose the Chili Cheese Omelette and really liked it. I wish it would've had less beans and more meat but overall I can't complain because I finished the entire thing. They also do four eggs for their omelettes so it is a bit larger than you will usually get. As mentioned the coffee is great and they will continue the refills the second you need it. It's located in sleepy Running Springs, which is in between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear. It's less than a 10 minute drive from both locations so it is a really great option for breakfast when visiting. We will be back next time we are visiting the mountains.
