Santana Mavericks Bar N Grill

Most underrated spot in Big Bear. Loved them before they moved to the waterfront. Had the best orange chicken of my liiiiife. Hubs has the steak fajitas and they were fire. Great happy hour and drink selection. Can’t wait to go here in the summer for the patio. The outside of the spot isn’t fancy but don’t let that fool you.

WORTH THE SEARCH. Santana Mavericks is a family-friendly restaurant overlooking Big Bear Lake. It serves a wide variety of food and what we had for lunch was delicious. I had the tuna melt sandwich and the other members of our party had the chicken cashew salad and the BLT. The food was served promptly and well-presented. My sandwich was large and not overly saucy with large chunks of tuna. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad was large with sliced, roasted chicken on the top. Note: Glute

Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful lake view. Lovely outdoor patio and very nice interior as well. We had the shrimp cocktail shooters, which were absolutely divine. Very fresh and flavorful. Then we had the blossomed onion, which was crispy and delicious with a lovely aïoli side sauce. Then we had the Asian sampler platterand the spring rolls were the best. Lovely experience highly recommend!
