Came here on a Saturday night for a party of 10. Everyone's food came out on time, and the customer service was excellent. Our family also had the lava cake but we ate it so fast I never got a picture. We had the lobster roll, Mac and cheese, pulled pork sandwich and fish. All were delicious. We will definitely be back!
Best pulled pork, brisket, rotisserie, nacho place in big bear. Been a customer for over a decade and glad they survived the pandemic. Highly recommended. Ask to try the spicy BBQ sauce.
All other restaurants had a long wait so I just came here to try it out. They sat us right away. Got a side of full onion rings and they were amazing. Nice and crispy on the outside with a side of ranch which was delicious. Got the pulled pork sandwich and it was AMAZING with fries that were really good. Burger was well crafted and they had a wide selection of beer. My experience here was great so I would disregard the review. Definitely coming back to eat here.
Service was slow understaffed one server at lunch. One cook. Burger fell on floor accidentally. Chef didn’t remake burger for replacement but made for other tables burgers who sat after us. One person on our party didn’t eat. All burger have same patty. Wish they would have made burger a priority that they dropped. Waited and waited. Finally ate our food. Fish and chips all batter. Tasty and great presentation. Avocado burger excellent. Music 90s. Outdoor patio great and nice street view if you have a small pet. Fried pickles were amazing! Picked up a Brie pear sourdough sandwich at Barrel 33 AMAZING! Wanted dessert but server didn’t come back. Not servers fault understaffed. Need 2 servers for lunch. Great otherwise always patronize when in town. Huge parking lot and bathrooms behind this establishment. Walkway through corridor. Easy street access.
Found this place just by walking by, as it is brand new and doesn't show up on Google results yet. We sat on the patio, where they will allow you to sit with your dog. But the inside seating looked really nice too. Lots of Tv's with sports of all kinds on to watch. Our server was Lauren, she was very attentive, and really friendly. We ordered the calamari, and the "All the Ribs" plate. The calamari was good, not to salty, and not overdone. The ribs were tasty too. We both really liked the sauce. I feel like the pricing was high for the portions, but I think that's a factor of the location, being in a tourist area and all. They've also got their own brews and sodas, which are brewed right across the street. I had the cherry cola and enjoyed it. Overall we were pleased with our choice. I imagine you will be too.
11:30am on a Saturday before Christmas, was dead when we walked in, but picked up quick. Was seated quickly, drink orders taken fast by our server, Yuri. Orders were promptly taken, and came out quick. Bone Yard Grilled Cheese was awesome, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, and cup of chili with cornbread. Onion Rings were A, & Fries. Great service and food. Thank you Yuri for our wonderful experience.
Best clam chowder ever!! So house made! Everything we ordered was amazing and delicious. Our server Savannah was beyond stellar. She was on top of our drink and very good at anticipating our needs. She was also super kind to our two young children.EAT HERE!!
We had a fantastic dinner featuring BBQ ribs, brisket, creamy coleslaw, soft cornbread, bacon green beans, and garlic mashed potatoes. The ribs and brisket were perfectly smoked and flavorful, and the sides were the ideal complements—especially the creamy coleslaw and garlic mashed potatoes. Our server, John, was both personable and professional, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We also had positive interactions with Manager Allysa and Ben, who made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience with delicious food and exceptional service! I should mention that we shared our meal so my plate only represents a small portion of what we were served.
