BREAKFAST SPOTS

Blanca & Pierre's

Just a short walk from the condo, right next to Get Boards is this small family run breakfast and lunch restaurant. It is cash only, but so convenient! 

 Teddy Bear Restaurant

The wait can get long so put your  name in early. Also cash only for some reason.


BARS & EATERIES

572 Social

Outdoor lounge seating in the heart of the village, live music on weekends, try the steamed mussels and roasted romaine caeser salad

  Oakside

A family favorite. Great outdoor vibe, TVs in the bar area upstairs, live music on weekends, get the brussels sprouts and bread pudding bites.

Hacienda

Mexican food away from the village traffic, get the spicy margarita, chile relleno, and fish ceviche

Murray’s

Cheap beer, peanut shells on the floor, karaoke

  Village Pizza

There are SO many great pizzas places in Big Bear. People will always debate out which is the best. My favorite is Village Pizza. It has an 80s feel to it. They are not trying to impress anyone, just serving great pizza

Fire Rock Burgers

If Burgers is what you are looking for, you have come to the right place! DEEE-LICIOUS!!

PROVISIONS

Boulder Bay Market

This is not a picture of Boulder Bay Market. I stole this from the internet. Boulder Bay Market has way less stuff. But it's super convenient. Cold Drinks, liquor, toothpaste, canned goods and the like. Just next door to Blanca and Pierre's and Get Boards. The guy who usually works the cash register is Mike. He comes off as super gruff. But I'm sure he has a heart of gold.  I think??

UPDATE ON MIKE -   After not seeing him in the market for a few months I asked another employee about him. He met the woman of his dreams back in his home country. He packed up to move and be with her. Then he caught covid and saddly passed. I am leaving the earlier post up because he was a local icon. Rest in peace, Mike.

Boulder Bay Station

There is an even smaller market right on Blue Jay Road across from the parking lot entrance, at Camping Cabins. I think it's great for beer and ice. Maybe some fishing supplies? 

Vons

If you require a big box grocery store, you will want to go into town and hit up Vons. They usually have pretty long lines at check out. But I did notice they may deliver. 

Stater Bros

Another full service grocery store with all you need and a great deli. Just across the street from Vons.

*Best advice... do the majority of your shopping on your way up the hill. Save yourself a ton of hassle!
