Nice restaurant, good service but food is ok. Appetizers were good, melted cheese and artichokes. We shared a prime rib a steak Diane and wine by the glass. The dessert was very good, we shared a butter toffee cake. I ordered an espresso but they have only regular coffee.

This is a traditional old time steakhouse, with prime rib, NY steak, sirloin, pork chop, clam chowder, among other things and they have a good wine list. They also have a full bar.
Been going to this place since I was a child and my folks would weekend in big bear.
This trip I got the pork chop, it was juicy, tender, flavorful, but not salty, perfectly cooked, with a side of rice pilaf. Wife got the cheese tortellini with shrimp (shrimp was good but for 18$ for four shrimp) in addition to the 30$ tortellini, that’s a bit steep. They are large shrimp, but not worth 4+$ each.
This place has not changed, prices have always been high, but the food is usually very good (there was this one time I went and the food sucked, had not gone back for years because of that) but it’s all good now.
Our waitress was nice, informative and polite. Service was fast enough, although you should expect a more relaxed dining experience than a fast one, so don’t be in a hurry.
I recommend!!

Decent place with dim atmosphere food is good but extremely overpriced! I thought my hometown Miami was expensive but this place just beat it. 37$ for farmed salmon and 1 baked potato is wild pardon my French. Service is slow. Many vacant tables while the host is making you wait for 30 min to get a table … a bit disappointed

Captain’s Anchorage is true Big Bear Staple, with a storied history and consistent high quality food and top notch service. It has old school steakhouse vibes and an amazing bar and kitchen that have been serving hungry locals and tourists alike for decades. The prime rib is always amazing and highly recommended. Making a reservation is definitely reccomended as it can fill up on weekends and holidays in a hurry. Locals know you can get the full menu at the bar which is actually a fun experience for 2 people. It’s hard ti do but save room for dessert, the butter toffee cake is awesome and the cheesecake is probably the best in Big Bear. Oh and ask about the ghost…

We had a fantastic dinner at Captain’s Anchorage while visiting Big Bear. The food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent.
Ray had the top sirloin steak, cooked perfectly and full of flavor—no steak sauce needed. He highly recommends adding melted butter on top to enhance it even more. His baked potato and sautéed mushrooms were outstanding.
I ordered the vegetable beef soup and New England clam chowder, and both were delicious and comforting. We also enjoyed great drinks—the Irish meal and the Mountain Mule were spot on.
The restaurant has a warm, quiet, classic Big Bear lodge vibe, which made for a relaxing evening. Our server, Shawn, was wonderful—extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the restaurant’s history (and even its ghosts like George), which made the experience extra special.
Highly recommend this place if you’re in Big Bear—a must for dinner.

We had an amazing experience here!! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and everything felt perfectly timed.
But what truly made the night special was our host, Patty. From the moment we arrived, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. She checked on us at just the right times, had a great attitude, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. If youre looking for a place to dine here in Big Bear, look no further, you’ve found the spot.

We had a really lovely meal here tonight. The staff were all really professional and well trained but also warm and personable. Several people chipped in to make everything extra smooth. The prime rib was amazing, as well as the artichoke heart, but, the best thing we ordered, in a landslide, was a toffee cake— I don’t actually see it on the current menu but it was moist and absolutely amazing. It was super cozy and they even had a magician going around doing magic tricks for folks. A+!

Stopped in recently in the evening, solo with no reservation. There was open seating at the bar as most of the tables were taken.
Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making small talk and chatting when they heard I had not been here before.
Ordered the prime rib as they said that’s what they’re known for – meal was excellent. Look forward to trying other dishes in the future.
Would definitely recommend, and will definitely come back next time I’m in town. Staff said calling ahead can help as busyness varies.

My husband surprised me with this gem for my birthday! We live in LA and love fine dining. We were excited to try this place and I highly recommend you check it out for yourself . We were greeted by Jessica and Natalie was our server. Natalie made sure to answer all our questions about the menu. She talked to us about the history of the restaurant as I loved the decor. The clam chowder is excellent , the scallops serving was huge and delicious ,and the lobster was so big I couldn’t finish it. I had an espresso martini which Natalie tweeked the ingredients for my liking. The strawberry cheesecake was also delicious. Overall this place is Old Hollywood with amazing service and delicious food. Thank you so much Natalie and Jessica for the amazing experience. We will definitely be coming back soon. They also have happy hour!
