First time visiting Idyllwild! We just checked into our place and explored the cute town, but most of the restaurants were closed. The only one open was The Lumber Mill Bar & Grill. It was busy, so we patiently waited for a table. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and a great selection of meals to try! We ordered the ribeye steak with Caesar salad and mashed potatoes, plus a crumbled cheese appetizer, it was worth it! Since our place doesn’t have a refrigerator or microwave, we had to finish everything. It turned into a romantic outdoor dinner with delicious food and such friendly staff. Definitely worth it for a good dinner in Idyllwild.

We chose this restaurant because of it's rating on Google and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and huge portions. The staff were friendly and helpful too 😋😊

We had a great chili in a very good sourdough bowl and a solid burger and coleslaw. The staff were super friendly and quick. It was fun to watch the karaoke on Saturday night.

The atmosphere was ok, a bit tight inside as you walk in, they provide inside or outside eating. You sit yourself if available or wait to be seated if busy. They have a bar. Ones we ordered our food, it didn't took long to be served. I got the Idy Burrito and my boo got The Ortega Burger, they were both delicious. I have nvr had a burrito that flavorful and moist. The red sauce is spicy but gooood, it also comes with a side of cabbage and pico de gallo, really good. The burger was juicy and very filling, I will definitely come back and will definitely recommend to stop by. 👍 👍

Delicious food!!!!!! My toddler and we enjoyed our meal! I got the san Francisco burger, and they got the fried chicken. Ranch is amazing. Vibes were chill. Servers were so nice.

Great place to eat hearty food in a relaxed setting. I had their chili. I loved it, it was chunky, spicy, and flavorful. The service was great. It's right on the main road leading in and out of town so easy to spot from the road. Parking can be a bit of a challenge when it's busy.

Food surpassed my expectations. Stopped in on a weekday for lunch. We had not planned on going here but it looked nice from the street. The menu had a good variety. The burger was excellent, better than some establishments elsewhere in California and the Tuna melt was also very good - the bread was toasted perfectly. Our server was new and did an okay job at taking our orders and checking up on us but we had to get up and go to the bar area to get our bill and pay as nobody came to give it to us.

Excellent play to eat at. First time here in idyllwild and stopped at the Lumber Mill for some lunch with the family. Super friendly staff and the meals were all prepared very well. The French Dip is a super delicious sandwich that has a awesome dipping sauce I have NEVER had before. I highly recommend sharing this menu item with your loved one or friend, unless you have a big appetite and take this sandwich on your own. The rest of the meals my family loved, especially the fries. Really good spot to spot by at get some great food.

Friendly staff. We had a good lunch here. They have some really large burgers on the menu, if that is your thing. They also had some fresh baked goods and we liked the corn nugget appetizer.

Two of us tried to get a drink at the bar. Not crowded at all. We were clean, well groomed, and quiet. The first staff to come by said they'd be back in a while. Five minutes later another staff entered the bar area, glared at us and walked away without a word. If the lumber mill bar and grill doesn't want to serve adult beverages, maybe they should change their name. Don't bother going in there, it's a waste of your time to be treated rudely and not served.

Went with my wife to grab a bite, I ordered a burger and she got the lightly breaded chicken sandwich. Her chicken was so fibrous and dense it was almost inedible, I've never tried chicken like that in my life. It was like biting into a rubber eraser, not exaggerating. We called the waiter, who called a guy who I assume is the manager. My wife mentioned the issue, he took her food and went away after she mentioned she didn't want it changed. Then came back with the usual check tray where you leave your credit card with a new ticket with a 50% discount on her meal. Man, that sandwitch was INEDIBLE, how do you even dare to charge anything for it? We then waited for a while, about 5-10 minutes. He never returned to the table to pick up the tray. We ended up picking up our stuff and taking the tray to the front with us. We mentioned that we wanted a full write-off of the chicken sandwich, not half. He, seemingly begrudgingly or like he hasn't cared about his job for a while, did give us the full price write-off so, so at least we got that, but the whole situation was so poorly/awkwardly managed and the fact that a chicken that bad would even leave the kitchen is beyond me. Burger was fine though, got the one with blue cheese, solid 7/10. Burger patty slid from the bun too much (and I even asked for it without the dressing) so it was messy, but tasted good.
