The Barnstorm Cafe Reviews

Rating: 2 out of 5.

Slow service, food was not very good. Hash browns were *way* overcooked, omelette was apparently made with yesterday's leftover ham. Disappointing as I've had (slightly) better meals there.

Maybe just caught them on a bad day, but neither food nor service was very good. Sour Arnold Palmer, mediocre huevos rancheros, cranky waiter. Wife said the chili on the "chili potato" was pretty good, but the potato was undercooked.

Very friendly, good food for fair prices in a nice vacation get-a-way location.

I stop here twice a month, best fly-in breakfast I know of. Fuel is cheapest in SoCal too.

Good food, nice view of the ramp & runway. They recently added some more German specials to the lunch & dinner menu.

Great fly-in location with lots of parking right in front of the restaurant. The town of Big Bear offers lots of touristy things to do: art galleries, bed & breakfasts & more. The end of the runway has a digital density altitude meter for those warm summer days!
