How can we rate when you’re sold out 15 minutes after opening on Sunday? We (myself my husband and 5 year old daughter) showed up around 11:45. There were 2 Sheriff’s waiting for their order and one truck in the drive thru. After the Sheriffs got their order and the truck pulled forward we were told “ sorry sold out”. I wanted a family feast to feed us a for a few days and was so disappointed we had to find something else. There is no way to order online so how are we supposed to be able to try and support your food?! We just moved up here a week ago and this was a let down.

The best BBQ I've ever had I go by everytime I come up to the cabin. The owner is super nice and really friendly.

The best BBQ ever!! A hidden gem. Amazing staff too.

A perfect pit stop before heading down the mountain! A definite must have! Perfect outdoor lunch spot for a big family with lots of kids who just want to run around wild while parents enjoy some tasty BBQ ribs, tri tip, brisket n pull pork! The BBQ sauce is to die for and the service is just icing on the cake! Thanks for my birthday lunch - it was delish! Opens at 11.30am n its right off the Big Bear Blvd!

Food is tasty and the lady is very nice ! I will be back for sure !

Got the brisket sammy and Mac N cheese.. Both were incredible. Owner and staff all very friendly. Looking forward to coming back.

Visited for first time today. Great food and service was good. Would definitely recommend for good eats.

I stopped by on a Saturday around 12:30 hoping to get there before they ran out of items. Well, that didn’t work. They didn’t have sausage, BBQ chicken or cornbread and they only had a slab or two left of ribs. I assume they just didn’t make these items for that day. I ordered some pulled pork, ribs and cole slaw. The pulled pork was excellent, flavorful, moist and tender. The ribs were just so-so, they were on the fatty side, a bit dried out and it wasn’t too easy to get the meat off the bone. As for the slaw, I can’t comment on it since they forgot to include it in my to go order.

great flavors and friendly service. The brisket needed a little more time to convert.

I've had barbecue from Massachusetts to Hawaii (and Canada...) When you crave barbecue this is what you're remembering. Got there an hour after opening and the corn muffins were already gone, which kinda speaks for itself.
