Overview

Description

This tiny, popular eatery is known for its hefty portions of classic American breakfast fare.

We always look for family owned restaurants to try. I usually do a search of the area and then I read reviews. I read Grizzly Manor reviews plus they open early on Sunday morning. Other restaurants in the area didn't open until 11:00am. I also asked Jeff at the front desk if he could recommend a good place to have breakfast. Without hesitation he told me Grizzly Manor and gave me directions. Jeff also said you will see people outside waiting. We drove there and sure enough people were waiting outside. I went in wrote down our name and the waitress said it's an hour wait. We are willing to wait if the good is good. As I was walking out I scanned the plates on the tables. Hugh plates of pancakes and omelets. After 45 minutes our name was called. O ordered The Grizzly bear reo eggs, bacon, hash browns and biscuits with gravy. My husband ordered the Polar bear two eggs, Bacon Hash browns and two pancakes. We could not believe the pancakes they brought my husband they were as big as a dinner plate. I am thinking biscuits with gravy one biscuit...wrong they bring another dinner plate with four biscuits covered with gravy. Then they bring our plates with eggs, bacon and hash browns. My brother and his gal ordered omelets and eggs with hash browns and bacon. Now their tables are small we don't have room for all these plates. Luckily we sat next to the window and we were able to put the napkin holder and other items on the windows ledge. Food was delicious great quantity and quality. If you come here make sure you are hungry. The owner was very nice he actually has a great sense of humor and jokes around with his customers. He told us about his other business that is a full service deli. Grizzly Manor is opened from 6:00am - 2:00pm 7 days a week. On weekends they only serve breakfast. During the week they serve breakfast and lunch. I hope this review helps you. We will come back here. We plan on visiting his Deli to get a sandwich.

So, are you looking for a great place to eat breakfast while visiting Big Bear Lake? Well, look no further than the Grizzly Manor Café, but we warn you, you better bring an oversized appetite because the breakfast portions are enormous. Our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs and we should have simply shared a meal, especially if you order pancakes or a specialty omelet. As for the taste and quality of the meal, simply one of the best breakfast meals you will find anywhere. As for the staff, every one of them had wonderful attitudes, funny yet professional and they sure made us laugh a time or two. This is not a very big restaurant with only a limited number of tables and some counter seating but what they lack in size they make up for it in the size of their meals and the prices are great. There is plenty of free parking on the side of the restaurant and the interior of the restaurant is decorated in a way to honor many who served in the United States Military, which makes it alright in our book any day of the week. Bottom line, great staff, fantastic food with supersized portions and all at a great price and served with a friendly smile. Thank you.

Heads up: There are only a couple parking spots for the restaurant and towing is being enforced now. Dominos pizza (right behind)has posted that they will allow Grizzly Manor parking there. 🙏😃 Well worth the wait! We’ve been going to Grizzly Manor for 10 years. This restaurant was on the Travel Channel years a back and it promptly became the fame of Big Bear . It’s pretty impossible to get in without a wait; our average wait time is over an hour, so don’t go when you’re already hungry! Once inside you’ll see what seems like a biker bar: stickers covering every wall, servers and cooks covered in tattoos, signs that are brutally to the point. Don’t judge a book by its cover. This is the best food, portions and prices in Big Bear. My favorite is Rudy’s Scramble with sourdough toast and their delicious Cali hot sauces 🤤. We leave with plenty left over for lunch. Note: there is no alcohol served here. Can you imagine how long the wait would be if there was?! We’ve been known to put our name in, grab a Bloody Mary in the village, and be back in time to be seated.

A MOUTHFUL OF AMAZING!!!! Tried this place for the first time for breakfast on our weekend trip. Felt like I was at a friend's house enjoying breakfast. They treat you like you are part of the family. Even got to see Jack and say "Hi and Bye" to him. It is a quaint little place as the wait shows how good the food is. Came with me and my 4 kids. They all loved it. We got French toast with hashbrowns and bacon and a side of biscuits and gravy, chocolate chip pancakes with hashbrowns and eggs, and the "Fat Pat" (Three Biscuits and Gravy Topped with Bacon, Ham and Sausage, Three Eggs, Hash Browns and Cheese). My 15, 13, and 4 year olds loved everything as well as me and my fat pat. The servings were huge and had to take the rest home. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely coming back again. I loved their coffee mugs so much I even purchased 2 of them to take home. If you are looking for a breakfast place then this is the place to go. Check in on yelp though so you don't have to wait outside so long.

Delicious food. My kids loved the GIANT chocolate chip pancake. I had The Blob, which was delicious beyond description. However, because the food is so fabulous, and the restaurant is so small, staff is limited, and the wait times are long. This is why they have devised an online check-in system. Check-in from home, then show up when they text you. It stream lines the waiting process. I wish I would have known this before I dragged my hungry kiddos there. We ordered, I took them back to the cabin, then returned for the food, since it was a 45 minute wait for a to-go order. We loved the food so much, we planned to call in an order the following day. I called and called, and finally drove over to place an order in person. I was told they take the phone off the hook because they are too busy. No wonder I couldn't phone-in an order! So, either plan on eating there (cramped quarters for Covid) or go early to order, take a walk by the lake, then return for the food. Definitely worth the experience.

Good breakfast place!!! Huge portions! Not sure if it was the bad dinner we had the night before but we had Christmas Eve breakfast and it was delicious. The wait was an hour but we left to take care of other business so it was worth it. The place is old, small, fast paced country diner style. Service is decent but it’s hard to chase someone down as seats crowded in a small establishment. Portion was good for the price and the food was great. Good flavor and seasoning. We had the Fat Pat which was amazing, side of bacon with one pancake which was huge, French toast which was average and a egg plate with sausage, toast and hash browns. Hash browns were so good but the sausage left a weird after taste. I would highly recommend this place if you’re in Big Bear looking for a good breakfast or brunch place. They were also dog friendly (in carriers only) but we did a French or a pug being carried out so unsure if it was just a requirement for us or not.
