Terrific little restaurant. Been there 4 times so far, and everything we've tried has been great! They also make a great breakfast. Sounds really bizarre, but their Jalapeno soup is fantastic! It is on the spicy side, but not what you would expect. Delicious flavor! more

We own a couple lodges in Big Bear. We recommend many great local places, but find Madlon's is the best place to send romantic couples. We have been going there for 30 years and the current owners are both chefs, doing a great job. more

We asked the concierge at our resort where she recommended we go for a good dinner. She repeated “good?” We answered “Yes”. She told us we may want to try “Madlon’s” and especially their special dinner deal they were offering on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. The special is a five course dinner for two including a carafe of wine... more

Their screaming kid in the kitchen doesn't help... more

I have lived permanently in Big Bear for a number of years and have never eaten at Madlons... more

I ate at this restaurant a few weeks ago and was delighted with the service and quality of food. For a Friday night the restaurant was very slow, however the service and food was great. I had the filet which was awesome. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations and I have been thinking of the food ever since. It was... more

It was very strange. My friend and I arrived at 5:30 for dinner and the place was empty. We walked in and the hostess asked us if we had reservations. When I realized she was being serious, I told her 'no.' She said we could be seated at 8:00. We left in bewilderment and will not be coming back. Two... more

We were starving after a day of snowboarding and just happened to see the cute little restaurant on our way to our cabin. We returned that evening and were very happy to hear that they could seat us (after a bit of a wait) without reservations. I will say this...that night, the service was S-L-O-W. We were very hungry and... more
