Not sure what happened between last year and this year (2025) but there are only 3 types of Gluten Free donuts now compared to 6 in previous years. The Apple Fritter I bought was raw on the inside. Need to drive back for a refund. The cashier didn't even seem concerned but offered a replacement, I just asked for a refund with was no problem.
Atticus was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had and I’ve been in the industry nearly 20 years. Two gluten free vegans and he was so accommodating. I also got hurt mountain biking and he took such good care of me letting me ice my leg. Great vegan / gluten free options, nice atmosphere, let us charge our phones, and Atticus is clearly one of those men who is just good to their core. Will come back!
A surprise road-side crepe shack! Great selection of savory and sweet crepes, and they have buckwheat *gluten free* ones too. Really yummy. Coffee was great. The lavender whipped cream was amazing. Outdoor patio seating behind.
Mex-Hawaii performed at its best. Nothing is missing here. Quality of the food, drinks, homemade products, top service and the right atmosphere. This store more than lives up to the many good reviews. Definitely a big recommendation if you're anywhere near the area. Gluten free also available. Authentic and real.
Such a diverse menu to meet children’s needs to gluten free to fajitas to steak to ribs . The kids loved being able to go down to the lake while we waited and play inside by the pool table. The staff was so attentive! We enjoyed the large mule to share

I haven't had a bad experience here. I love it here! They have absolutely amazing food and the wait staff never disappoints. I believe it's the only place here to have gluten free burgers, and that's easily worth the price tag to me.
It's a bit on the pricier side, but it's so worth it
Hostess amazing and responsive and kind, there was a long wait for main dining but ended up in the bar area where we found a space for two. Warm and cozy vibes.
No gluten or dairy substitutes for allergies, but ended up doing a steak and veggies.
Our server was extremely rude and made us feel unwelcome.
We ended up only getting one drink and half our food boxed up and headed home, otherwise we would've spent so much more time and money(and probably would've visited there more days )
Service- we asked to order tater tots just plain with the filet and veggies (we didn't want it substituted for a side) she just said no.
We asked for the steak to be cut, she said no.
We asked for any allergy substitutes she said no.
She checked in on us after receiving food and said our meals look good and asked if we need anything else.
When we asked just to have our items packed up she just brought us two boxes, not even a bag or asked if she could do it for us,
If you're strolling through the Village in Big Bear Lake and craving something warm, flavorful, and a little spicy, Royal Thai Bistro is a gem worth checking out. Tucked into the heart of the town, this cozy Thai restaurant offers a satisfying mix of authentic flavors, generous portions, and friendly service.
I visited on a chilly evening, and the vibe inside was welcoming — low lighting, simple decor, and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was attentive from the start, happy to answer questions about the menu and accommodate dietary preferences (they have plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options).
I started with the Crispy chicken rolls, which was tangy and aromatic, though I did wish it had a bit more punch from the lemongrass. For the main course, the Fried pork rice was excellent — perfectly spiced, served with fluffy rice. The Pad Thai was solid as well: sweet, savory, and loaded with tender chicken and fresh bean sprouts. A table near us ordered the Drunken Noodles, and based on their enthusiasm, I’ll definitely try those next time.
One thing to note: while most of the dishes hit the mark, there were a few inconsistencies. A friend mentioned their curry wasn’t as flavorful on a previous visit, so it might depend on who's in the kitchen. But overall, the experience felt thoughtful and genuine.
Prices are reasonable for a resort town, and the portions are generous enough to share or take home for leftovers. Plus, the location is perfect for a relaxing lunch or dinner after a day of hiking, skiing, or browsing the local shops.
I had one of their double burgers lettuce wrapped with some sweet potato fries. It was very, very tasty. I think they offer gluten-free buns but I just went protein style. Something was wrong with their stereo and it was just playing loud annoying, static otherwise a decent place and experience.
A great place to come and watch a game. Shane, the bartender, really elevated our experience. He made us feel super welcome and managed a food allergy with ease. (He also makes a lovely Manhattan.) They have Beyond Burgers for vegetarians and gluten free buns that taste great. Definitely would come back when we’re up the mountain again.
