Always a great meal. Best steaks in town. Awesome lakeviews and sunsets. Good service.

We visited again and can't say enough about this place from the greeting on arrival to Jake's incredible recommendations and service! We come back every time up here and are never disappointed!!! Don't let the low rating fool you. It's the only spot with lake views.

Excellent service. Nice sunset view. Good live piano. Generous portions of prime rib and steak.

We made a reservation (really recommend this) Stephanie was an excellent server and very attentive and helpful Excellent food and live music on the patio Great experience

We traveled here from Nevada to get away from the 119° Heatwave and enjoy the 4th of July festivities. We have never been to Big Bear Lake, and this is the first time we have tried The Pines Lakefront. Reading the reviews, it seems like it's been a hit or miss. Well, tonight, it's a hit! Driving in, they have a secured parking area just for patrons of the restaurant and a great view of the fireworks. We were graciously greeted by the hostess as we entered the restaurant, and she was super sweet! We were seated by a gentleman in a nice black suit and were seated right in front of the singer, who was awesome as well! Our server, Stephanie, was a sweetheart as well, and took care of our needs. Because tonight was the 4th of July, they had a special buffet menu, and the courtyard faces the lake for the fireworks display. The menu consisted of Caesars salad, steamed vegetables, pasta, baked chicken, baked fish, BBQ ribs, mashed potatoes, and prime rib. Everything was pretty good, and my favorites were the Caesars salad and prime rib. I do wish that there were more dessert options because all they passed out were cupcakes. Maybe cupcakes with ice cream? Last, from our seated location, we could not see most of the the fireworks display due to the trees, so we took a very short walk out towards the lake and enjoyed the rest of the show!
