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.

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.

The patties tasted like the smart and final patties you can find in the frozen section. Same with the frozen fries. Gluten buns were dry. Highly don't recommend this place. It looks cool but the food sucks. Totally not worth sending over $40 for 2 burgers and 2 fries. If it was delicious I wouldn't care to spend that much.

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.

This place is busy! I love the fact they have vegetarian & gluten free options which is key for me since I'm gluten free & vegetarian. I love the tea selection and the fact they offer oat & almond milk for hot cocoa😁 The staff is super kind, patient, & efficient. If they make a mistake they correct it immediately 😇 Next time we come 2 Big Bear Lake wewill definitely come back.❤

Casual walk-up counter ordering, lines of picnic tables on the patio, and a menu with the basics plus vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. A great easy lunch after a hike. Enter the Elk's parking lot and drive to the back. Look for the sign on the fence pointing towards the walkway to the patio.

Rude employees. Bacon was bad and made me sick. Stay away. The Jersey Mikes in San Diego know about gluten allergies and go out of the way to make you feel safe. Last time we were up here this location was like that. This time it was horrible.

We almost didn't eat here, because the prices on the menus were a little bit scary. $20 kids meals? After we got over the sticker shock, we decided to give it a try, because the location was fabulous. Our server was attentive even if he was a little bit hurried in his interactions with us. However, once the food started to arrive, all of these minor concerns went away. I ordered French onion soup and a fish sandwich. Both were among the best I've ever had in my life. My wife had a BLT. It was cheaper to have my two children to share an adult entrée than to order off the kids menu, so they shared the gluten-free pasta with vegetables. My mom also ordered a BLT, and my dad had the grilled chicken sandwich. Everyone was raving about the quality of the food. The portions were Harty, which is rare for a fine dining establishment. The Brad service was mouthwatering, and we had several refills. We all left full and happy. If you're looking for an awesome place to have a meal with your family on the lake, you have found it!
