Whether you’re heading to Big Bear to hit the slopes or hit the trails, you’re gonna need to stop in and get the burger (seriously) at this ‘50s-style shack. The Director burger is a favorite, with two 1/4 lb patties sizzled on the griddle with American cheese, grilled onions, crispy lettuce, tomatoes, and the “special sauce”.

They also have an all-business semi-secret menu, where you can get that dude Raccoon-style (banana peppers and extra onions), FX-style (grilled in mustard, extra spread and pickles), or Spicy-style (grilled in spicy sauce and jalapeños). Oh, and the tater tots smothered in cheese, sour cream, chives, and bacon bits? Also, obviously, well worth the investment.

Dogs are welcome on the patio.
