Benny's Family Restaurant

Overview

Benny's Family Restaurant is a straightforward family-style diner in Big Bear Lake that focuses on classic comfort food and traditional breakfast plates. The restaurant occupies the former Denny’s location and still carries a very similar diner-style atmosphere and menu style that visitors familiar with chain diners will immediately recognize. While it is not typically considered one of Big Bear’s more unique dining destinations, it remains a dependable option for large portions, familiar meals and casual family dining.

the Food

The menu centers around traditional American diner food including pancakes, eggs, bacon, burgers, sandwiches, fries and comfort-food-style lunch and dinner plates. Guests looking for familiar, simple meals without a more upscale or trendy atmosphere will likely find the menu approachable and predictable in a good way.

Things to Know

Benny’s is often chosen by visitors looking for a quick and familiar diner-style meal rather than a specialty Big Bear dining experience. Because it operates in the former Denny’s building, many guests still compare it to a traditional chain diner in both layout and menu style. Parking is generally easier here than at some Village restaurants, making it a convenient stop during busy weekends.
