Victoria’s Family Restaurant — Restaurant in California

If you're cruising through the San Bernardino mountains and craving a meal that feels like it came straight from grandma’s kitchen, Victoria’s Family Restaurant in Arrowbear Lake is your go-to stop. Tucked off Hilltop Blvd, this spot offers more than just a meal — it delivers comfort, warmth, and a slice of small-town hospitality.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. The atmosphere is rustic and unpretentious, with a cozy, down-home vibe that makes you instantly feel relaxed. It’s the kind of place where locals gather, tourists stumble upon, and everyone leaves full and happy.

The menu is an unexpected blend of American, Mexican, and Italian comfort food. I tried the pork chile verde burrito — a recommendation from our server — and it was outstanding: tender, flavorful, and smothered in just the right amount of sauce. My friend ordered the cheese ravioli, which came in a creamy, garlicky marinara that could’ve easily come from an old-school Italian kitchen. Bonus points for portion sizes that had us leaving with leftovers.

They’ve also got chilaquiles and beef stroganoff, which are reportedly crowd favorites. Honestly, you can’t go wrong here. Every dish that came out of the kitchen looked like it was made with heart.

Service is fast, friendly, and super genuine. You can tell it’s a family-run operation — and they really care about making sure you enjoy your time there.

This place is also great for families. They have high chairs, a kid’s menu, and options for takeout if you're heading back to your cabin or hitting the slopes.

Bottom line? Victoria’s isn’t flashy or trendy, but it’s the kind of restaurant you’ll remember long after your trip. It’s affordable, delicious, and brimming with mountain-town charm. Whether you’re on your way to Big Bear or just exploring the area, don’t miss out on...

Have tried this place four times now, and can say if you like to eat at convalescent homes this is your spot. First time we went in, we were ignored for 20 minutes with no service so decided to leave. Second time we went, service was mediocre, food was eh, nothing to write home about. Third time, service was terrible, we were forgotten about multiple times when told they'd be right back, when trying to Order, waiting for drinks, silverware, etc. Food was great! It was a weekend so perhaps they had their good cook on. Got the Chicken Fried Steak and it was great! We had hope for a good spot on the mountain. But the 4th time we went in, ordered the same thing, it came out overcooked in what tasted like old oil. The salad dressings were rancid tasting. And I ordered the "special" and boy was it something else. I ordered the meatloaf dinner and apparently they have a special version of meatloaf that resembles a Stouffer's TV dinner. It was two square pieces of ground meat with two scoops of dry powdery potatoes and smothers in brown gravy. I've never heard of meatloaf with gravy instead of tomato paste/ketchup deliciousness on top. But here, you can find your gross meals with horrible 70s music playing to please the older crowd with no taste buds. Bland food, bad service,...
