Yes, we like the Peppercorn but have not been back to Mandolin Bistro since it was sold. We like Teddy Bear's for the breakfasts and the homemade chicken pot pies. Regarding the pharmacies, locals are mad over the WalGreens going in--this is going in despite the fact that we have the Medical Arts Pharmacy, Big Bear Pharmacy, CVS, and Rite Aid. They slaughtered a lot of trees in the process too. Chau, thanks for leaving a comment. Yes, we like the Peppercorn but have not been back to Mandolin Bistro since it was sold.

And what's up with all the phamacies? My main residence is in Fontana and there are CVS and Long Drug not counting phamacies in Target and Staters' Brothers in one shopping center, yike! I agree with GG that BB needs more of foresight and planning to maintain its charm. My husband and I like the food at Perpercorn and Mandoline. Breakfast and lunch at Teddy Bear are hearty and Americana. I would want to have a TJ here in BB. And what’s up with all the phamacies?

One of the places I mentioned in my latest post is another sushi establishment in the valley. Frankly, sushi in the mountains is questionable. I quit patronizing the one you mentioned a long time ago due to poor attitudes, poor service, and just marginal food. Personally, I'd suggest visiting San Diego for good sushi! @Cricket: Yes, I love their clothing there. One of the places I mentioned in my latest post is another sushi establishment in the valley.

I agree with you on the eatery issue...last week a group of us went to the sushi place across from CVS. They provided HORRIBLE service, and one of our party did not get her meal until we were almost ready to leave. The didn't even offer to discount her meal! I will NEVER go back.

I find that we head off the mountain for dining adventures these days and when I write something a little "off" and not the "happy, happy, joy, joy" that has become status quo--well I get threatened. Yes, I love Fawnskin and live here because it is rustic--the Moose Lodge actually has pretty good home cooked meals--and since it supports so many charities with the funds, we spend our money there and visit with our neighbors at the same time!

I knew almost immediately to eat was not to dine - in Big Bear. The words were not synonymous. A couple of good restaurants surfaced; one in Fawnskin and another in Bear City. This valley is too small to sustain growth like it is another Orange County. Good for Fawnskin that they have maintained their rustic, friendly atmosphere!
