The Cookshak 40611 Village Drive, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315

"A hidden gem! Tucked away behind the Big Bear Elks Lodge is a little walk up window serving some big flavors! House smoked meats, charbroiled burgers, there’s something for everyone. One of the best kept secrets of the big bear valley. Service is pleasant, the atmosphere is a whole vintage vibe, and the prices are very fair considering the quality and care given."

"Y’all this place SLAPS. Tartar sauce was lemony and delicious - definitely home made. Fish and chips perfect. The cole slaw was also really really tasty and fresh. The French dip was so good, too! Would definitely come back again and again."

"Wanted to support a local restaurant that had vegan options while visiting Big Bear and came across this spot. With a vibe that makes you feel like your in your back yard or if your in our living room (inside), the food taste just like that. Friendly service, you might even feel like it’s your tio in the kitchen grilling. They turn impossible meats into a meatball sandwich and burger. I had the sandwich and it left me stuff! Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer"

"Casual walk-up counter ordering, lines of picnic tables on the patio, and a menu with the basics plus vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. A great easy lunch after a hike. Enter the Elk's parking lot and drive to the back. Look for the sign on the fence pointing towards the walkway to the patio."
