Best Butcher/ Best fried chicken
This little grocery market looks a bit gritty but it's the best place to buy meat (if you want to cook out on the grill or in) in Big Bear! Prices are extremely low. The hot food area looks suspect BUT- it has the best fried chicken, mac and cheese, and rotisserie chicken you'll find! Low prices (also fresh hi desert brown eggs with amber yolks.. drool!!!) This is also a great alternative for a close shop for last min. items (like Duraflame logs or OJ and eggs). In the summer grab some fried chicken and potato salad for a picnic on a pontoon!
