The Bone Yard Grill - Big Bear Lake

We were on vacation in big bear and went to the restaurant. Google says it closes at 9. Went at 7:45 pm and the open sign was on. An employee told us as we walked in they were closed. I asked them and they said they closed early with no reason (after waiting). Update: 2nd night in a row they closed early because it wasnt busy . I would suggest the business open later and stay open for night life because they are missing out on a big customer base and bad publicity to close before the hours stated.

Service was awful, waited 30+ to meet our waitress, then another 20 just to get waters. Waitress never came back around to refill drinks. The place was not busy, many empty tables. When food arrived it looked and tasted like cafateria/hospital food. We never complained , 10 people in my group, only two of us could eat the food( wings). Waited longer to get the bill, tip was added, paid, when receipt came back was a different total than when I gave my card, asked for it to be looked at it, manager said he could not fix it right then but her will get us new receipts and fix it another time. The new record amount was adding more too amount, now I was charged 3 different amounts for a tip. Asked manager to get me a receipt that showed break down of my food and price he said the system won’t let him do that. I asked him to re total it and fix my bill, he rolled his eyes then said it is what it is. Not ok, then proceeded to tell us to leave the restaurant. Said “get the hell out”.

The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly. Will come back again and definitely recommend to friends and family.

We sat inside right in the middle of the main room but it seemed like I had to keep asking for things like more water. Other than that, the serving sizes are great and the smoked meat (pulled pork and beef) are tasty. I also got the zesty coleslaw which went very well with the meat.

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.
