Businiess name:  Captains Anchorage Restaurant and Bar - Big Bear Lake
Review by:  citysearch c.
Review content: 
We've had a place in Big Bear Lake for over 4 years now, and finally ran out of excuses to avoid this icon. Having Yelped it, we were not expecting to be impressed. Luckily, despite the reviews, we had a great time and a great meal. I'd probably give it a 3.75 if I was able to. The salad bar is small, but very good. Their house dressing is a little on the sweet side, but if you go 50/50 Oil and vinegar with the house dressing it's very good. At the salad bar was clam chowder and cream of mushroom soup. The clam chowder was very thick (not my favorite way) but it had loads of clams in it and tasted very good. The cream of mushroom was also way over-thick, but extremely tasty. We wound up putting some on our baked potato and it was great! We ordered prime rib, and the medium rare came as advertised, the ones having rare got medium rare as well! The cuts were very generous. They have an 8, 12 and 16 oz cut. My wife's 8 was probably close to the 12 oz. My 12 was an honest 16 oz cut! My wife ordered the potato, and I the steamed veggies so we shared. This was the way to go. They bring a full potato, and a generous, not overcooked plate of veggies. One of my boys had the teriyaki sirloin and was very pleased with it. The biggest """"con"""" was that the plate was cold, so the meat cooled off very quickly. For the prices they charge, they really could heat their plates. Before the meal, we had some martinis and they were cold and strong and reasonably generous. With the meal, some red wine by the glass. Again, very good and reasonably generous. I'm not too sure about the complaints I've read about this place being overpriced. I think the prices are about par for the type of food and atmosphere you are getting. You can easily spend as much at the national chains for the swill they serve. Oh yes, speaking of atmosphere. It's an old place and dark inside. Nothing all that special, but exactly what you would want for a steak house in the woods. The service was good and the waitress was friendly. Make reservation if you are there on a non-peak weekend. They don't open the upstairs when the town is slow, so the dining room was full. I'm not sure how it is during peak times, but the place is pretty large if you take the upstairs into account. With the limited choices in Big Bear (especially now that Fred and Mary's is gone) we'll probably be back. It definitely outshines the Cowboy Express!
