We came at 5:30 and sadly, the brisket and the pulled pork and the ribs were sold out. They did say that there were burgers available for those different meats, but I think we really want to try...
Food is amazing. Great slowcooked bbq brisket chicken ribs and fish and chips. Ambiance is very very casual (think outdoor cafeteria) but the food and friendly service would keep us coming back...
We ordered to go since we had a big party. The food was delicious, especially the brisket and bean.
This is by far the best bbq joint in big bear lake. Get there early, they sell out. That should tell you all you need to know....dont miss out on the "smoked turkey". I wish I could give it more...
