The Oaks Restaurant

Drive by this place all the time assuming it was a tourist trap. We ended up leaving big bear later than expected and passed this right at lunch time so decided to stop.

Food was good, our waitress hustled and prices were good. No complaints from me or my 3 kids. Will be back!

Visited this place with my son while on a 3 day survival course in the woods. Once the course was completed we were starving and the Oaks Restaurant hit the spot. Large servings for a good price and the food was delicious.

I stopped here for water on a bike tour because it seemed like a convenient spot. I was amazed to be greeted promptly by Theresa even though the restaurant was completely empty due to road closures. Despite only asking for water and information about the road closure, I was treated with warmth and care as if I had been dining there. I fear for businesses like this. I hope when 38 reopens you’ll give this place your business. They definitely deserve it!

It was a great place to eat especially after a long day on the trails. We often visit this diner and love it every time we're in Big Bear

Had take out for dinner on a Saturday night and breakfast the following Sunday. We had the onion rings, chicken fried steak and the carne asada tacos. I also had the pancakes and eggs and hash browns. Everything was excellent. Hash Browns were nice and crispy. Onion rings very tasty. Service was good as can be.

The Oaks Restaurant Diner is a nice hidden gem going up California Highway 38 out of the nice family towns of Yucaipa and Mentone in Southern California off of the interstate 10.
On the way up to The Oaks Restaurant you'll be passing through the start of a portion of the stunning San Bernardino National forrest!
About 10 miles up is the Oaks Restaurant
that makes for a nice stop for a hot cup of coffee or cocoa.They have great breakfast ,lunch and dinner meals freshly cooked to order!It's a real treat if it snows to be enjoying your hot beverage and or meal with the wood fired potbelly stove with family,friends or by yourself!

This owner is awesome! We were evacuated by helicopter and landed next to the restaurant. The owner was right there to offer us a free, lunch and drinks. There’s not that many people around like him anymore and we sure did appreciate him. Thanks again.

Great place.
Food was really good especially the bacon and the apple pie when it’s warm.

While we were there eating.. a CHP came in and ordered dinner for himself to go and we paid for his dinner for him. He was very appreciated!

Nice clean place with welcoming staff; food is very good for rural, mountain fare, and they are very child friendly. Nice rustic decor. Service was fast. Wonderful place to warm up by the fire and fill up after a day in the snow or other adventures in the mountains.

Great ride up! Few people when we rode in. Filled up before we left. Very good coffee. Service was excellent. Server was cute and personable. Food was quick and well seasoned. Really liked this place.

After riding the motorcycle for hours to get to a nearby campground I too was exhausted to cook anything. I didn't find anything interesting at the general store next door so I entered The Oaks and sat at the counter.

The waitress cheerfully brought me a much-needed ice tea while I examined the menu. The menu was full of standard diner fare at decent prices and there were quite a few items I wanted to try but I just didn't have the appetite.

I finally ordered a pizza to go and admired the rustic mountain cabin decor while I waited. The locals seated nearby were friendly and the waitress kept my tea filled too.

I got the pizza back to the campground and the smell finally got to me. I was surprised at how good it was. Honestly, I was expecting a frozen pie heated up, not the tasty treat covered in fresh ingredients that I ended up with.

I savored each slice while I watched the sunset and cuddled by the campfire. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu.

This restaurant is fantastic! Huge portion sizes for a good price. Friendly servers and a great rustic atmosphere. If you're traveling on the 38 make a point to stop here for a terrific meal!

I can't tell you how kind our server was. Our food and drinks were timely and delicious.

We were passing through the area and stopped in around 8 AM for breakfast and it was very good. The omlete and big fluffy pancakes were very tasty. They had a cute self serve coffee bar. The service was very very friendly. I'd definitely stop through again if I ever found myself back in the area.

Fantastic place, fantastic food and fantastic service. One of our favorite places to eat!

Love this place nestled up in Angelus Oaks, the food is always great and the service is top notch. Had the bacon and eggs and it was perfect. I always stop here when I do a 4×4 action on the Jeep.

The experience was excellent. The ladies working there were very welcoming and honestly I felt right at home there. Had the Ham Steak with scrambled eggs, with two sides of hashbrown and rye bread toasted. Would definently recommend!!!

Great service delicious breakfast
