"My wife and I had a pleasant experience at Oakside for dinner tonight. What made this a great night out for us was truly the service. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and promptly sat. Even though they were busy our waiter arrived shortly after us being seated and made sure we had drinks. Throughout the duration of the night multiple staff including our waiter Eddy checked in on us, refilling our water and making sure we were attended too, but not being too overbearing either. This level of service is uncharacteristic of our experiences dining out in Big Bear so it made for a lovely Friday night date. Our food was as follows: Appetizer : Mango habanero wings, was expecting more spice but they did have good flavor. 6.7/10 Main course: we split the following Truffle Grilled Cheese : for a grilled cheese this has good flavor but for the price I still feel it could have had more to it 7.2 /10 Loaded tots: this is one of their signature dishes and definitely knocked it out. For tots they get a 8.4/10 Black and blue burger: Bun was a bit dry and fell apart fairly easily, should have been toasted (if it was it wasn’t enough) the blue cheese was very rich and a bit over powering. Not my favorite burger, especially for $20+ dollars. 4.8 / 10 Overall great night, will definitely be coming back I’m sure their entrees will tell a different story."

"We enjoyed the poke and chicken wings. The restaurant is very picturesque. The server was very attentive. They just don’t have that much variety of seafood and soups."

"Phenomenal fish and chips. Also delicious buffalo blue cheese flat breat. Great ambiance and service."

"I was pretty unimpressed with this place over all. The service was ok the ambiance was ok and the food was just a little under par. We started out with the wedge salad and cowboy balls and both were pretty basic. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and the wife ordered the French dip and neither one our sandwich were great. I recommend going and having your own experience. The location was great and the place has lots of potential I think they just need to step up their food game a little bit.
