Top 9 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Enjoy in Big Bear Lake

Atticus was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had and I’ve been in the industry nearly 20 years. Two gluten free vegans and he was so accommodating. I also got hurt mountain biking and he took such good care of me letting me ice my leg. Great vegan / gluten free options, nice atmosphere, let us charge our phones, and Atticus is clearly one of those men who is just good to their core. Will come back!

Lasagna and Bolognese were only ok. Lots of tomato chunks. Nice side salad. Gluten free ravioli had a good sauce but were lacking in flavor

They offer gluten free bread if you ask! Which was so appreciated. We took a group of 7 here and the service and food was spectacular. Would highly recommend

I haven't had a bad experience here. I love it here! They have absolutely amazing food and the wait staff never disappoints. I believe it's the only place here to have gluten free burgers, and that's easily worth the price tag to me. It's a bit on the pricier side, but it's so worth it

Hostess amazing and responsive and kind, there was a long wait for main dining but ended up in the bar area where we found a space for two. Warm and cozy vibes. No gluten or dairy substitutes for allergies, but ended up doing a steak and veggies. Our server was extremely rude and made us feel unwelcome. We ended up only getting one drink and half our food boxed up and headed home, otherwise we would've spent so much more time and money(and probably would've visited there more days ) Service- we asked to order tater tots just plain with the filet and veggies (we didn't want it substituted for a side) she just said no. We asked for the steak to be cut, she said no. We asked for any allergy substitutes she said no. She checked in on us after receiving food and said our meals look good and asked if we need anything else. When we asked just to have our items packed up she just brought us two boxes, not even a bag or asked if she could do it for us,

If you're strolling through the Village in Big Bear Lake and craving something warm, flavorful, and a little spicy, Royal Thai Bistro is a gem worth checking out. Tucked into the heart of the town, this cozy Thai restaurant offers a satisfying mix of authentic flavors, generous portions, and friendly service. I visited on a chilly evening, and the vibe inside was welcoming — low lighting, simple decor, and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was attentive from the start, happy to answer questions about the menu and accommodate dietary preferences (they have plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options). I started with the Crispy chicken rolls, which was tangy and aromatic, though I did wish it had a bit more punch from the lemongrass. For the main course, the Fried pork rice was excellent — perfectly spiced, served with fluffy rice. The Pad Thai was solid as well: sweet, savory, and loaded with tender chicken and fresh bean sprouts. A table near us ordered the Drunken Noodles, and based on their enthusiasm, I’ll definitely try those next time. One thing to note: while most of the dishes hit the mark, there were a few inconsistencies. A friend mentioned their curry wasn’t as flavorful on a previous visit, so it might depend on who's in the kitchen. But overall, the experience felt thoughtful and genuine. Prices are reasonable for a resort town, and the portions are generous enough to share or take home for leftovers. Plus, the location is perfect for a relaxing lunch or dinner after a day of hiking, skiing, or browsing the local shops.

A great place to come and watch a game. Shane, the bartender, really elevated our experience. He made us feel super welcome and managed a food allergy with ease. (He also makes a lovely Manhattan.) They have Beyond Burgers for vegetarians and gluten free buns that taste great. Definitely would come back when we’re up the mountain again.
