Cedar Glen Malt Shop

Took a stroll to Lake Arrowhead from the city to enjoy the mountains and beautiful weather after raining. We asked locals for a good burger spot and found this place, highly rated for a reason. Very good food and service, wonderful people, and just overall good atmosphere. I’ll indeed be back many times over because it was such a good burger. Yum yum yum

If you’re anywhere near Cedar Glen, you absolutely have to stop by The Malt Shop. The burgers and fries are out-of-this-world — they’ve got that timeless, nostalgic, homemade taste that instantly takes you back. The shakes and malts are just as good, and my mom couldn’t resist trying the root beer float — delicious! The staff is genuinely welcoming, which makes the experience feel even better. The place itself is humble, almost a hidden hole-in-the-wall. At first glance, you might not know what to expect, but trust me — give it a shot and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. A true gem that captures the essence of old-school comfort food. PS. Sorry for the half eaten burger pic! I couldn’t resist lol!

The decor and the food is amazing! First time here and loved it.

They were packed out when we got there so we signed in grabbed a menu and waited in the car. Took about 15 minutes for them to come out and invite us in. Servers were happy and helpful. I got a small maraschino cherry shake and the Tijuana taxi which is a grilled chicken breast sandwich with Ortega chilis, grilled onions and swiss cheese on a brioche bun with a salad instead of fries. It was kind of messy but I enjoyed the flavor. The chicken was tender and they put plenty of Ortega chilis. Hubby got the Nomad which is a third pound hamburger with bacon, cheese and peanut butter, (yes I said peanut butter) tomato, grilled onions on a brioche bun with frings or french fries and onion rings. The onion rings were crunchy and savory. The hamburger was really good and the peanut butter didn't throw it off at all. It was more like a thickened peanut butter sauce. He also got the large hot fudge swirl shake. We were told adding malt to the shake would make it sweeter and creamier so we decided not to do that. The shakes were perfect the way they came out. I was really happy about the whole meal and it was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend.

Delicious burgers and malts! They have over 10 options to chose from with delicious fries and onion rings. There are a few beers from the bottle and all the malts your heart desires.

We're locals and our family loves it here. Definitely the best burgers on the mountain. Love their onion rings and the decor is classic oldie car '50s diner. The shakes are so good and so many flavors! A definite must if you're visiting or live on the mountain.

Very “hole in the wall” sort of place but in the best way. Very chill vibes. Good service, good selection of menu items, the shakes are And the burgers are If you’re looking for food and have picky kids with you or are tired of trying to decide which restaurant to go to, you should go here

Spent the weekend up the road from this tiny but mighty malt shop. Old time feel, with awesome decor. We tried the root beer float, the rainbow float, the peanut butter shake and vanilla shake. They were all phenomenal! Order a burger, delicious! Toasted buns! We also had the fries and onion rings which were on point as well! Man! I wish a didn’t live far from here, otherwise I’d come a lot!
