    Chili good. Down home made fresh.  It's like dad is in the kitchen.

    OK don't get scared off when you see the place. It;s a dive and a half but the food is amazing....

    If your in Big Bear don't miss this place...promise you will be back from more!!!

    This place is excellent. Its kind of hard to see on the south side of the street but the sandwiches are great and the prices are right.

    The ambiance is awesome and the patio dining make it twice as nice.

    If you like ice cold beer and big, juicy burgers, this is your place. Service has been excellent each of the three times I've eaten there.

    The Potato Salad, although a very small serving is the best ever.

    You have your choice of bread and my new favorite is a cheeseburger on a french roll.

    Try it, you'll like it.

    We stopped by there because of the reviews.  First thing to know is this is a CASH only place.  
    My wife and I both got burgers. The were ok, but no way the best.  The patty was the typical thin,  and no seasoning, but it is put together well with the trimmings.
    I did enjoy the meal, and the service was very good.  But the burger was nothing special.

    My husband and I went up the mountain last weekend just to get away and decided to try out the food here.  We had heard a lot of good things about the place.  It was all true...really great burgers and the service was top notch.  Will definitely eat here again.

    Great burgers.  Like the other yelpers have mentioned, there are no fries, only chips - but the burgers are juicy and delicious, so let it go.

    Beer (domestic) by the glass... $1.85.  Are you kidding me?!

    Chili - excellent, but I am pretty sure it has pork or bacon in it - smoky flavor.  Cheap, too - cup of chili for about $2.50

    Service was efficient and polite. Bathrooms are clean.  Overall - an affordable, delicious burger... probably the best in the Big Bear area.  Easy on-site parking.

    CASH ONLY, but there is an ATM at the market next door.

    Every time we go to Big Bear, we always are sure to make a stop at BJ's!  

    One word: CHILI.  The chili is real authentic and absolutely delicious.  Burgers here are great too... but the chili is just ridiculously good.  

    I love how homey this place feels.  The cook will just be hanging out at the tables, and when it's time to cook your food... he goes to the kitchen and makes it fresh for you.  Very friendly and laidback.

    Just the right spot to eat at after a long day of snowboarding.  When I went here there was only one older gentlemen working.  He took our order then went in the back and cooked it himself.  DELICIOUS.  The beer is ridiculously cheep (under $2 a mug.)

    I'll be back!

    BJ's is the BEST burger around! Every trip to Big Bear always includes a trip to BJ's. Went there today had the BJ burger with hot pepper cheese, added bacon and avocado. Amazing! Also had a cup of Chuck's chili with cheese and onions. Might be the best chili I've ever had...great place, great atmosphere, and a great owner & staff. I was told by one of the locals that it's now the oldest owner operated business in Big Bear. Quite an accomplishment. Highly recommend for taking out of town guests and family!

    No fries! What???

    Even though it has a "B" in the window I tried it!  It's a cool little place but they don't have fries otherwise I would have giving it 4 stars!  

    Chuck the owner is a cranky old fart, but makes up the fabric of that place!

    BIG and I mean BIG Juicy Burgers and at a reasonable price. The Beer is super cold served in frosty mugs and real cheep too. This is the perfect place to unwind after hard charging on the slopes all day. I will be back for sure when I am at the cabin.

    I've been riding my motorcycle to Big Bear for over 10 years now and for years i've been coming here.
    It's always been the same owner. He hangs out at the tables watching what ever game is on. If it's just him he'll take your order and then go make it, but usually there is a waitress.
    Your on your own to find a seat and no one will bring you a menu cause there at the table.
    I always sit on the patio. There's a great view of the mountains and the fresh mountain air enhances the experience. Which is part of the reason I ride up there.
    The Food: The burgers are 1/3 lb with a toasted sesame seed bun and your choice of cheese. Sides are either mac salad or potato salad. You can also get it with Potato chips. I don't think they have fries, at least i've never had them there. DARE I SAY the best burgers in the IE.
    (I live down the street from a "Gourmet" burger joint in Redlands and sure their gourmet burgers are good however for a straight up burger BJ's cant be beat.)
    I was there just yesterday. I had A Bj Burger w/american cheese, mac salad and two draft beers the bill wasn't even 10 bucks.
    Cash Only no credit cards. There is an ATM at the market next door.
    Seek it out! You won't be disappointed. Very biker friendly.
