This place was such a cute local find. We recently purchased a house in LA and we have been trying different places. The kids wanted a quick lunch but I looked up Blue Jays and noticed that they only had a little over two stars on the reviews… We ended up coming here. It had been raining for two days and the kids were just hungry and mom and dad wanted comfort food. I also wanted to come here because I read about the shakes and I thought that would be a cute treat for the kids. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad … it was plain. We ordered the mini corn dog kids meal for my 5 years old and a strawberry shake… of course she loved it. Our son had the fish n chips whip came with soup or salad.. he loved the soup. Husband had the protein burger. Son also got a crazy banana split Sunday thing. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. There were a few locals that stopped by and it was cool to see the employees call them by their names. All employees were super sweet, cool, friendly! I didn’t use the restroom so I’m not able to get any info on that. The food was definitely comfort food. Tons of burgers, and a few sandwiches. I think I only saw house soup and chili on the menu. We should have tried the onion rings, but maybe we will try that next time. Parking was a little difficult, it’s right up front . Difficult only because we have a huge truck .. there are maybe a total of eight spaces in the front but is really good for them because that means they were busy… I didn’t knock them down in the start for parking. I knocked him down because the food.

Our first time at the Cedar Glen Malt Shop (50's Diner style) and I'm already planning another trip up the mountain! Honestly, can't say enough about this hidden gem nestled just outside of Lake Arrowhead, up the many curvy and windy roads to the small community of Cedar Glen. Celebrating 80 years of serving the many satisfies patrons both locally and those like me that travel, Cedar Glen Malt Shop is the Real Deal! They serve up smiles, delicious 1/3 lbs Angus burgers, and Incredible Shakes & Malts with THRIFTY'S Ice Cream!! Their food is quite affordable and they offer a nice Military discount too. Just ask. Gotta give a shout out too all the staff! Especially our servers! Thanks Audrey & Candy, you're the Best! Make the trip, you won't be disappointed.

As a Thru Hiker definitely needed a recharge and the simplicity of a wonderful burger and malt rank high on calories and a reboot to continue. Recommend the Lowrider burger and the strawberry malt, Sprite to go. Back to it thank you!
