Lumberjack Cafe

Hubby and I spent a weekend in Big Bear and didn't know anything about this place. We drove up Big Bear Blvd til we found something that sounded good and this is where we ended up. The parking is NOT great, especially if they're busy. Lucky for us, we got there just before the breakfast rush came it. I ordered the scramble with sausage and a side of waffle. My hubby ordered the chicken fried steak, log potatoes and egg over hard. Let's just say we were both pleasantly surprised. The food was really good and the portions were good size too! From the outside, it didn't look like much. Even when we walked in, there was nothing fancy about it. Kinda felt like I just stepped into an old Aunty's house where nothing matched, everything looked super old and yet, it was still cozy & inviting. But wait, I forgot to mention our waitress...I forgot her name but she knew her stuff. She was very efficient, memorized our order and was quick to answer any questions. This was a really nice spot and we both killed our breakfast plates in no time!! Don't let the outdated furniture fool u. And yes, I'd come back and order the same thing again (I love the waffle)!! Just make sure to get there before it gets busy, otherwise you won't find parking.

Sat outside on the patio and brought my two small dogs. Pet friendly place! I loved my veggie egg white omelette, super loaded with fresh spinach (not overly cooked and slimy/soft which I loved) and lots of other veggies. The hash browns were crispy and delicious, and the coffee was hot and my cup always kept full. Highly recommend while in town!

Very welcoming and homey! The food was really good, we did the Kids Three Pancakes added chocolate chips, Annie’s Omelet with an order of sourdough toast, and the Country Fried Steak and Eggs with a biscuit and gravy.
