"Spots serving burgers and beers are everywhere in Big Bear, but we head to Fire Rock when we want a truly over-the-top burger. This casual rock-themed spot is packed with families and college-age snowboarders listening to the Stones and drinking beer on the heated front patio, and the kinds of burgers you see on tables here are full-on monstrosities (in the best way possible). Think toppings like peanut butter, fried jalapeños, and mac & cheese on top of thick patties. Our favorite is the Whiskey In The Jar (whiskey not included) with crumbly blue cheese, bacon, and a layer of spicy buffalo sauce." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox

"Toast one more time to your vacation in Big Bear with a beer at Fire Rock. While it also serves some tasty burgers, the star here is the craft beer menu. Go for the Free Bird Blonde Ale for something lighter or Purple Haze Raspberry Lager for a fruity refresher." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"This burger spot is an ideal place to go whether you spent the day on the slopes or the hiking trails. Or in a hot tub. They specialize in two things: burgers and beers. The burgers are monstrosities in the best possible way - like the Mama Said Knock You Out, with mozzarella cheese, mozzarella sticks, marinara sauce, and pesto, and the Sweating Bullets, which involves fried jalapenos, bacon, pepper jack, and hot sauce. Their tap list has some great San Bernardino County breweries, as well as non-local favorites like Modern Times - and they’ve got a great year-round patio to drink them on." - Brett Keating

Not great service. When we came in with a large group, the host said we could not have more than 6 people at a table, even though we sat a table with 8 seats. They also got one of our drink orders wrong and didn’t give me the side of ranch I requested. Good tasting burger and fries, but not amazing. Good menu selection.

The teenager who took us to our table wasn't in the best mood (Maybe 'cause the place was crowed...?), but our waitress was very nice... bad thing she never came back so we could ask her for soda refill for my daughter. I had a hamburger, my little one had lemon pepper boneless and I had a cheese burguer. All food, for real, was amazing. Prices aren't cheap but neither super expensive, and it is flavorful food so it worth it. They have outside tables front/back of the restaurant, and of course, inside. The ladies bathroom was so nice and clean ♥️. Definitely a most if you are visiting Big Bear.

This place wasn’t bad for a late evening quick bite. I wouldn’t go back the quality of the burger wasn’t that well but it was edible. The location is really cool and their property is pretty neat with a decent atmosphere, but they could really step it up on the food quality.

Came here for dinner on vacation for dinner. We had to wait around 30 minutes (busy). Friendly staff. Ordered and got our food. The waitress forgot a drink I ordered and we asked about it about halfway through our meal (partially my fault). Once she found out I didn't get my drink, they gave it to me on the house. Great way to make it right. Thanks.

Loved the atmosphere and the service was great!! Good portion size! Was expecting more in flavour, onion rings and french fries were delicious. Burguer patty was missing flavour

Came in totally by chance, just happened to be located next to the public parking and we figured we would get a drink before walking around but we didn't expect to be blown away by this place! It made us want to cancel our dinner reservations and just eat here instead. Craft beer menu is fun and delicious and the food is great! The whole vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant is totally awesome if you like rock and roll. I recommend the spicy artichoke corn dip from the appetizer menu and the phantom bride IPA.

Burgers are good, the food theme is fried and greasy. Great open air patio in the back, inside is small and loud - better like power metal.

Food was good. Service was good. Servers were attentive which could be complicated with a group this big. Ambiance was good. They seated our group of 15 which a couple other restaurants said they couldn't.

So much potential!! Such horrible service. It's hot. Got sat outside, which is fine. But, no one came to take a drink order for nearly 30 minutes. Very slow service. Hope you don't want forks... Had to ask for those twice. Food wasn't awful. I'd say mid. But way overpriced. Beer selection pretty decent, but would be nice if they were colder and served faster. Such a cool place, so much potential. Just fell short.

Food: *Wings - kinda pricey at $16.50 for what it offered. I'm thinking it had 9 Wings? And they forgot to give us ranch for it...and it was a takeout order. When I went back to get it, she looked at me like I was lying and coming back for extra or something...and went and got it for us without a word. That was a fun experience. Maybe she just was having a bad day. I guess my tip went unnoticed. *Onion rings- soo good. No complaints *Brussel Sprouts- man THOSE were worth every penny. Best I've had possibly. *Carne Asada Fries- super good! Totally filling appetizer/Meal. House of the Rising Sun Burger with whole wheat bun, and side Caesar salad. - the most disappointing when you order a burger and it comes bunless.....when your husband is not on Keto. A burger is just not a burger without a bun.

Our friends and I were debating on what to eat for lunch and we settled on this cool burger joint in the heart of Big Bear Village! And we came out extremely satisfied :) First, you may think parking is a challenge but realistically its not really. Yes there is street parking on the road its on, but that's where it may be hard to snag a spot. However if you go to the next street over which basically takes you behind thw joint, there's a public parking lot that's free with plenty of spaces. From that lot, you can also cut through some of the side alleys so that way you don't have to walk all the way around. So realistically its not bad at all. The place itself is nice and clean and has plenty of seating. There's an outdoor patio in the front and back and indoor seating with a few seats at the bar as well. The decor was awesome, they had a beer dispenser through an amp. That was pretty cool. Service was great. We were greeted the second we walked in and seated right away.The staff was polite and profesaional and I think they did a great job at explaining things on the menu. A bonus, they offer military discount. My only if is that we got our appetizer after we got our burgers. Food was really good. All of our burgers were nice and juicy. Good sized too. The fig jam and aioli was really good and added lots of flavor to the burgers. The Jalapeno Wontons were really good too. Had a good kick to it. I enjoyed it all! I highly recommend this spot if you're in Big Bear! Its a fun spot to bring family and friends for some good food! Give them a try :)

Great place to grab a bite, the menu is simple, but delicious. Very small hole in the whole, but they make it work. We waited roughly 30 minutes, which is pretty much expected anywhere in the village. The beer was great, and the foood was priced at a decent cost. I will be coming back if I'm the area.

It's definitely really good, my hunny and I came here twice during our visit to Big Bear. The first time was because of course we were hungry. The second time was after a nice hike/run. I suggested coming here again because I enjoyed it. The place was nice and spacious. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The waiters were super cool and attentive. The food was delicious!. We recommend this spot if you decide to want to grab a great burger and craft beer. They also have the Beyond patty. Cheers and enjoy!.

CONSITANTLY THE BEST BURGERS AND BREWS IN BIG BEAR. I'm sad because this will be my last time here for a while. You see, I sold our cabin. We had to do it since we no longer live close enough to enjoy it. I'm just here one last time to pack up a few things and drive back to Seattle. I will miss you, Fire Rock. I will miss your imaginative and delicious burgers, your wide variety of in-house microbrews, your excellent service, and your rock-and-roll-themed restaurant. And, oh gosh, your amazing French fries. At least I have a T-shirt to remind me of the many good times I've had here. Maybe one day you'll open up a place in Seattle? I will pray to the pub Gods for this. And a very big Yelp Elite 5 Star review for you, AGAIN! BTW, if you enjoyed my review or found it useful, funny, or cool, please don't hesitate to click the little button to say so, or better yet, go ahead and friend me. So go on! Press that button, and never miss one of my epic reviews in the Seattle area and beyond. Excelsior!

Well me and the wife chose to go between two different burgers. They both were awesome! The got the garlic fries but they were cover in bacon Parmesan garlic and some kind of aioli. They were good just over the top really. I ordered tater tots with mine and until now never had a bad tot. Ordered an appetizer nevertheless did come out. Server was great! Will I return probably not. Great vibe but delivery sucked.

TLDR: expect a long wait during weekends, outside seating will take shorter (+ there's a heater so you're okay), very cool theme, great food. We went on a Saturday for dinner with a heads up that it was an hour wait; it took about an hour and a half to actually get seated. It was nice and cozy inside so we opted for inside seating, but outside seating would have been just fine. Another tip: with the long wait lines, look up the menu and know what you want to order before you are seated. The birria quesadilla was: amazing. The consume was perfect for dipping, it came with guacamole and limes. It's honestly a pretty good entree in itself. We ended up getting the Eye of the Tiger, Sweating Bullets and Bat Country. All burgers were around 7/10; came with a side of fries, which are perfectly toasted. Waiter was attentive and great for giving recommendations. We had gone in for the milkshakes but were too full to try (next time for sure). All of the food looks exactly how it tastes: yummy. Just expect a long wait line to be seated.

Came here in the afternoon and sat on the patio with our dogs. Ordered the avocado egg rolls to start and they were outstanding! I then moved onto the House of the Rising Sun burger and it was really good as well. I found that the food in and around the Village overall is pretty below average but Fire Rock Burgers & Brews stood out as a great spot to grab a burger. Service was great as well, we would go back.

Big Bear isn't exactly known for its food scene, so if you find a good spot just keep going. That's exactly what we do with Fire Rock. I stop here pretty much every time I'm in town because they're consistently good. It's a rock and roll themed burger spot and every burger I've tried has been great. Staff is always nice and helpful and checks in often with top offs on water and recommendations if you need them. Never skip the Brussels sprouts and my favorite burger is freak on a leash with macaroni. The bacon is very meaty and the sauce really enhances the macaroni

Yelp
The burgers are massive and they taste great. My wife and I went here two years back to back when we were in the area. What makes this place so special is that it's one of the few places around that offers a variety of foods and has reasonable hours. The service was welcoming. The ambiance was very rock and roll-centered which great if you dig the classic rock genre!

Located in the middle of the Alpine Village, Fire Rock has some of the best food in the area. Top notch burgers, appraisers, and a really good beer selection. This place is almost always packed since the inside is small so expect a long wait unless you're willing to bear the cold on the front or back patio during the fall/winter. Inside there's about 5 TVs playing sports, a section at the bar with maybe 8-10 seats, and some high chair tables most fit 2-4 people, for larger groups they can put a few tables together.

Go next door to Saucy Mamas Pizzeria, way better service, good food and the same ambiance if not better! Food- 2 Stars because we got the "Freak on a leash" burger which I would ultimately rate 4 stars, but the service was very poor. Service- There were two of us and we were not greeted for 10 minutes. We then put in two waters and did not get those for another 10 minutes. Read similar reviews on slow service but decided to give it a try anyways and believe the reviews that say this place indeed has very slow service. I put in ranch with our order to make it easier on the waiter and did not get ranch with my meal. I wasn't able to ask for ranch till I was almost done with my meal since he did not come by to check on us. By the time he asked how we were doing at the end of my meal I asked for ranch again and he did not come back with my ranch for probably another 10 minutes or more. Ambiance- The ambiance was nice but we were sat next to a very big fan that eventually made us cold. Besides that if the service was good this place would have had a much higher reviews Will not be returning, nor recommending unless service changes :)

Family regularly visits Big Bear and decided to try Fire Rock for the first time today. Overall had a really good experience. We ate on the outside patio wince the last interior ambiance was a little loud for the kids. Patio was comfortable with space heaters to keep everyone warm. The service was super friendly and accommodating for my girls. Food was delicious and a decent portion size for the order. Definitely adding this spot to one of our regular restaurant rotation.

Fire Rock Burgers & Brews was at the top of my list of places I had to check out during my stay in Big Bear Lake. This establishment is located in the Village and is within close proximity of other local bars and businesses. Luckily my boyfriend and I beat the crowds and were seated immediately upon arrival. We dined on the bar top as the regular tables were already reserved or taken. Here's my take on Fire Rock Burgers & Brews: Service: The service here was great, our bartender was extremely attentive and comped my Cali Creamin' brew as the tap had ran out and was only enough for a half glass ( as pictured). So far so good! Ambiance: This place was pretty lit. It was a full house and after my boyfriend and I were seated the crowds began pouring in. I loved the rock aesthetics and playlist! They also offer outdoor seating allowing them to serve a greater capacity of clientele. Food: So here's the thing, my Californication Burger ( which is ultimately an Avocado, Bacon & Cheese burger) was missing the bacon. I felt embarrassed to ask for my bacon as the bartender already comped my beer and I just didn't want to be that annoying guest. The staff was extremely busy as they were serving a full house which I understand, but even minuscule details such as a missing topping makes a big difference. As I bit into my burger I was honestly underwhelmed. Each bite consisted primarily of shredded lettuce and mushy avocado. The fries looked quite promising in pictures and as I'm a fan of battered fries I was looking forward to them which again, was also underwhelming. They lacked flavor for me. We also ordered boneless "wings" and received lukewarm popcorn chicken with a drizzle of buffalo sauce. I had to ask for more buffalo sauce on the side to make them somewhat appetizing for me. My boyfriend enjoyed his Garlic Parm Fries though so if you like garlic I'd recommend that. Overall my highlight of the night was their selection of brews (phantom bride IPA is a must!), I'd pass on the food here though as it's quite overpriced for what it is.

This review is mainly for one thing and one thing only: the music. The food we got was mediocre at best. The server was not very attentive. But my biggest complaint was about the music selection. The theme of this restaurant is rock music. The names of the burgers were inspired by different bands and songs. You might expect that they would be blasting some classic hits, choosing from a wide selection of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artists. Instead, what did my wife and I have to endure for about 45 minutes ( which felt like an eternity in hell)? NICKELBACK !!! And not just one of their songs. Oh no, song after song came on, and every time it was another stinker from that group. I'm not sure how anyone can be a fan of this group. I can honestly say that before that fateful night, I had never listened to many of their songs. When people would make fun of them, I'd say things like, "Oh, that one song isn't bad. 'Look at this photograph' or whatever it's called." Never again. Never again will I defend this group. They deserve all of the criticism they have ever received. And any establishment that chooses to force its customers to listen to their torturous music runs the risk of getting a one star Yelp review from me. I swear the music ( if I can even call it that ) made the food taste worse. My wife and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. We left with a poor taste in our mouths, and our eardrums were potentially scarred for life. Enter this establishment at your own risk, and if you hear NICKELBACK coming out of the speakers, run, don't walk, and find somewhere else to eat.

Pros: * Amazing food! There are a lot of food options in the village, but this is at the top of my list * Great ambiance, rock vibes * Super nice & attentive staff Cons: * N/A Extra: * There was a mistake made on our bill and we didn't find out until after our vacation ended. We called and the owner was super nice and fixed the mistake. Amazing person, stand up business, and we can't wait to go back!

We were heading home after 3 days at Lake Arrowhead & Big Bear and we needed to eat first. Since it's Memorial Day Wknd we took a chance and hoping that 1. We would find a parking spot, and 2. We would be able to get into here to eat. Surprisingly we found a parking spot right away and we were able to get seated outside right away. Love the whole vibe and decor here, and they had a duet playing on the patio. Our waiter came over immediately to take our drink and food order and food was brought out promptly. Food was delicious and they had a great selection of beer.

Holy mother of burger beer joints. This is a must if you are a burger fan, no question. First off the bar itself is rock and roll themed and dedicated to the script. Each burger and beer was named after famous rock songs. They even played the music to match. Such a dope spot for these reasons alone. But the FOOOOD now that is the true gem here. I ordered the bat country with garlic fries. Outstanding. I ate the whole thing. and my boyfriend got the independence with tots. We loved the burgers here I also did a beer flight which was fun I love variety and tried some unique beers. Service was so quick too we got our food out fast fresh and hot!!! 11/10 I loved this spot

Fire Rock Burgers & Brews is a four star restaurant. The group I was with ordered a variety of burgers, all of which were pretty good. An interesting aspect of my burger in particular was a green crayon included which I noticed after I had already finished most the burger. I don't know if this was an intentional inclusion or not but either way it didn't diminish the quality of the burger.

- Very slow service. 2/5 - Took 30 mins for someone to take our order from the time of being seated. - Drinks didn't come for a while either (15 mins). - House of the rising son burger; flavors don't flow well together. Bun was very dry. Burger was below par 2/5. - Birria quesadillas; meat had no flavor. Meat was tough not soft. Quesadilla was very wet. Overall, Sub par, would not recommend. 1.5/5 -Sour cream avocado egg rolls, did not have any flavor. Sour cream had after taste, was a bit too sour of an after taste. Overall, very poor execution and flavor profiles. 1/5 - Chicken wings was pretty good, good crisp. Garlic Parma flavor is a bit odd; hints of sourness. Not garlicky enough but not too bad overall. 3/5 - Zucchini fries, was very bad. No flavor. Only tasted batter, I would not recommend. 1/5 - Overall time spent dining was about 1 hr and 20 mins. Overall rating : 2/5 - Service: 2/5 - Taste profile: 2/5 - Value: 2/5

Burgers and beers are excellent! I recommend selecting something you may not typically pick. This is because we've tried all their burgers and all have been really good. Kids love the atmosphere! It can feel a bit overly crowded in the winter when everyone wants to eat inside but summer is more spread out between front and back patios. We go here each time we visit Big Bear.

We had breakfast here on Sunday morning. The waitress told us they just started serving breakfast and I would definitely eat here again. I had the croissant French toast and my husband had the American breakfast both were delicious. I love French toast and the croissant put it over the top. My husband loved his breakfast, we had only tried this place since the place we usually go to had a huge line, to say the least I'm glad they did or we wouldn't had tried this restaurant. It was definitely a happy accident. Staff is very nice and prices are typical of today's prices.

Pretty cool little hidden gem tucked behind the candy shop. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service is prompt and friendly. Food was good. Thank god for tater tots! Definitely worth a stop for a burger and brew.

new favorite unlocked the aztecs salad goes perfect with the warmer weather. fresh romaine & iceberg mix topped with mangos, avocado, tomatoes. red onion, fried jalapenos, wonton strips & drizzled with a creamy champagne vinaigrette and you can add grilled chicken if you want something extra

We come here pretty regularly. In the winter time the parking can be tricky, but they also deliver if you don't want to hassle with that. The service is always great. Ugh! I wish I could remember the server we had last visit - she was a young petite blonde. SO sweet and friendly. The decor is really cool here, they have mini guitar cases on the table for the condiments and guitar shaped serving ware. We order take out weekly and the food is in paper containers - I really like that. There are two areas for outdoor seating. One area is more kid friendly and has entertainment for the young ones. The food is great. I like spicy, so I usually get a burger with jalapeños. I have yet to order something I don't like. My favorite sides are the brussel sprouts and garlic fries. Yummmm!

Oooommmmmggggg!!! Excellent burgers!! Service was perfect and LOVE the rock vibe ambiance!!! Had the Declaration Day, Bat Country and Schools Out- Declaration Day we had with a side salad- all the ingredients were tasty and super fresh! Both the other two we had fries (crispy and not oily). The Bat Country had super good sautéed mushrooms and arugula- YUM!! Schools Out- let's just say one of THE best burgers I've ever had! Peanut butter, Jam, Bacon and potato chips on a burger??!! How can that go wrong??? Loved this place so much!!

Yelp
Great food! Really good food! a bit expensive for burgers but hey it's big bear. I really enjoyed the burger I had. But the service sucked!!!! I walk in to ask a question and a rude female worker wiping down a table just said well he right with you and just continued to wipe the table like wth I just wanted to ask a question. A young man ended up helping me out and she side eye me, I was so confused like why the hostility?! After that it took them forever to come and hear if our food was okay and even bring our check. My husband actually had to go ask for our check. But the outdoor seating was great it had outdoor heating and pet friendly which was a plus to us. We will give them another shot based on their food. But let's hope they improved on their customer greeting and service. And I must add our waiter was really good. Just wished he checked up on his tables more.

Pretty cool burger bar in the village, the food was pretty but nothing out of this world. Im not sure I'd come back but I think it's worth checking out if you're in the area.

I had been here a few times with my family, and everyone deeply enjoyed their meals. Our daughters softball team was playing a game up in Big Bear, so we decided to treat the team to lunch here. I reached out to the location by phone to set up a reservation for approximately 35 people. Our party ended up being slightly larger than that, as more parents and family attended the game than we anticipated. The staff was in hustle mode! They accommodated our large group with awesome service and, of course, delivered delicious food!! The team absolutely loved everything! Thank you for allowing us to dine there with such a large group!

Friendly staff. The pretzels app was very good. Hard to screw them up, though. On paper, the burgers read like they are just loaded up with ingredients. In reality, they skimped so hard. Fries were good.

Dale W.

Yelp
Just went here. Checked in and was told it was a 15 minute wait. After 30 minutes of waiting right in front of the hostess I asked how much longer she anticipated. She told me it would be another hour. I asked her if the time changed that much if maybe she thought that was a conversation to have with me since I was standing right in front of her. She laughed. Dont go here.

This place was highly recommended by my brother and he said that it's a must stop for him whenever he's in Big Bear, so I had to stop by. We came slightly after the lunch rush, but it was still pretty crowded, both indoor and outdoor seating. Regardless, the service is very attentive and our food came out pretty quickly. The music and décor are definitely the main draw here if you like good ol' American rock music. Guitars, drum kits (neat that the one in the restroom is a trashcan), picks, and much more to look at. I also liked that they have a "This day in Rock Music History" board near the restrooms. Pretty neat! We got the: Eye of the Tiger -This came with a side of the Brew city beer battered fries. Nicely crispy fries that went great with the side of Fire Rock sauce (similar to a sriracha mayo). -The burger itself is an angus patty topped with Philly cheese steak, grilled onions and peppers, provolone cheese, mayonnaise, their Fire Rock sauce, and a pepper jack beer cheese sauce. -Definitely a super cheesy burger that is bursting with meat. With both the angus burger patty and the Philly cheese steak, this gave a good amount of meat with varying textures. They don't skimp on the ingredients inside and the burger itself wasn't too saucy with everything included. Honestly, with the theming in mind, I can't but help to compare them to Grill-em-All in Alhambra and I think that in terms of portions/size per cost, Fire Rock falls a little bit flat. Otherwise it's over a solid place to get a good burg.

Last night, we visited Fire Rock Burgers & Brews in Big Bear and decided to give it a solid three-star rating. Here's our breakdown: Pros: *Non-Alcoholic Beers: The non-alcoholic beers we tried were a highlight. Special Effects lager. *Garlic Fries: Absolutely amazing! They were the star of our meal. *Ambiance: The rock-themed decor of the restaurant was intriguing and added a unique flair to the dining experience. Cons: *Bat Country Burgers: These were just okay. For a price tag of over $17, we expected more in terms of flavor and overall quality. They were definitely lacking! *Onion Rings: Disappointing and the low point of our meal. They lacked seasoning and inspiration. *Service: We noticed some disorganization among the staff. It seemed chaotic behind the bar, and our burgers were left sitting for a while before being served to us. While there were some good aspects like the fries and non-alcoholic beers, other elements like the burgers and onion rings didn't live up to our expectations, especially considering the price. The ambiance was cool, but the service seemed a bit messy. It wasn't a bad experience, but we certainly expected better!

Great LIVELY outdoor PATIO in the Back ! Fire Rock Burgers & Brews in Big Bear is a great place to go for a delicious burger and a cold beer. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, with an outdoor patio for enjoying the fresh mountain air. The menu features a variety of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers, all made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The burgers are thick and juicy and cooked to perfection, and the sandwiches are made with fresh-baked bread. The salads are crisp and crunchy, and the appetizers are flavorful and filling. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always willing to help you choose the perfect meal. On a beautiful sunny day... the PATIO is really the place to be as it is usually buzzing with energy and people.

Went up to Big Bear to enjoy the snow and we always stop here. The food is great and the portions are good for the price. Some of our favorites are the Sweating Bullets Burger, Pepper Jack Totchos and Bone in Spicy Buffalo Wings. Appetizers are definitely enough for two. The bone in wings are way better. The service is fast and friendly considering they are usually really busy so be prepared to wait a little. It's decorated in rock memorabilia which is very cool. It's loud but fun and we will always come back.

If I could leave no stars I would. Racist and rude hostess and blonde server who works the tables outside. There were no people sitting outside so we decided to sit down since we had my small dog. I go inside to grab the hostess for some menus and as soon as the blonde waitress saw us she whispered to her not to seat us because of a party of 18 that was coming? Yet she came up to us all rude to saw there was a reservation and we needed to check in with the hostess when the hostess was already starting to clean up the tables for us. We walked by later since our car was parked across the street and there was no party that large. Refused service because we are Latinos or something. Witness them refusing service for another group as we were getting in our car. DONT GOT HERE. I'm surprised this place is still in business by the list of bad reviews I've seen.

simply the BEST Burgers and selection I've seen in a long time .Take your appetite- the burgers and sides are massive and what creative offerings! It's a nicely cool vibe, rock music, sit outside with fire to keep you warm or inside (inside is a bit noisy) . The prices for the children meals are affordable (@$10) and they get to choose from three items the adult burgers and meals run about $15 with your choice of sides. Friendly service although it took a while to get seated inside but boy everyone was working pretty hard to make it a nice experience.

One of the best restaurants in big Bear ! The carne asada fries are the best thing ever!! They have a lot of variety on drinks, the place is small but it's totally worth it! The servers become your friends and the food is just amazing!

We stopped at two burger places and they had 21 and over only signs so we found Fire Rock which is family friendly. They have a large selection of burgers and my burger was good, but I prefer mine cooked a little bit more. The French fries were great and the staff was very friendly!

Great vibe and delicious food with generous portions. We discovered this place last year and I was looking forward to coming back. The location is tucked away in an alley so it's hidden from the Main Street. It's located right next to the dessert /ice cream candy shop. The carne asada fries were the best. They came with pineapples, spicy house sauce, lots of meats and guacamole and jalapeños. The portion was so generous that it can feed 2 people. It was a great value for $14! We also got the sweet potato fries and those were delicious too. Last time we got the burger and Mac and cheese and those were good too. There is a bar inside with 3 TV screens and tables. The outside tables have fires on them and they look pretty cool. Service was good and the bathrooms were clean. The place had a rock and roll vibe. A very cool spot with great food.

This place is a true hidden gem of Big Bear Lake! We loved the rock & roll theme and the food was out of this world. We went for lunch, wife had the avocado toast everything bagel and I had the huevos rancheros. The prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other restaurants nearby, and the quality of food was MUCH better than we expected. We ate here on the final day of our trip but wished we would've tried it sooner! We will be back! A+

This place was a little hard to find at first, but once we did, the energy inside was good. The servers were busy but attentive. Our server Allie was totally nice and brought refills when needed. The food was good. The egg rolls were ok, but the bombs were better. A lot of cream cheese on those 2 dishes. Would likely just get the bombs next time. We also got the Mac and cheese burger (can't remember the name) and it was delicious! The fries were average but together it went good! It is a small place inside but we had a good table and had a great time. A location just opened up down the hill, so we will check that one out next.

I been here about 4-5 times the times I been here I had a good experience the food was good and the customer service was good as well. Unfortunately, when I went on the 4th of July the service was terrible first off the restaurant was dirty. The kitchen looked like a hurricane hit it. I was standing in line waiting to pay, a few of the staff seen me no one bothered to ask if I had been help until about 3-5 minutes that's when finally someone acknowledged me. After I paid for my food I was told they were working on it, it would be out in a minute. When it's ready this rude white guy throws the food at me and just looks at me while I am making sure my food is correct. Then he just stands there and I tell him I am missing 4 drinks he goes and gets them puts them down and walks away. I had clearly told him 4 drinks and he only gives me 3. Then I tell one of the girls I'm missing a coke. She seemed bothered when I had asked her. Not to mention she sees that I have 4 drinks doesn't bother to ask if I need a drink holder. Doesn't ask if I want ketchup or any other sauce for my chicken nuggets. I understand it was busy but if she had used common sense she wouldn't have to be going back and forth. They were dressed in regular clothes no one had a name tags unfortunately. But the worst part of the whole experience is that the rude guy that throw my food was standing by the register and just scratches his butt doesn't wash his hands just goes back to the kitchen. I immediately got grossed out and lost my appetite. My bill came out to $91 if I'm paying that much money I expect to get good service and not be treated the way I was.
