Actually called Local Tropicali (Poke and Hawaiian inspired food).
For our family that enjoys poke bowls, this place is hands down the best in Big Bear! It’s always fresh, and it’s located at the edge of the Village.

BLT's Restaurant
41799 Big Bear BlvdDelicious sandwiches; just down Big Bear Blvd to your left.
One of our beary favorite places is right next door at the Grizzly Manor Café and one of the locals’ favorites! Please don't expect a fine dining experience. It is rustic and quite an experience! Their plates are HUGE and tasty. If you like pancakes, their blueberry pancake is the best we have every tasted. There is usually a long line in the mornings; however, you can walk over and put your name on the list and come back to the house and they will call or text you when your table is ready.
