Great little venue just before entering main Idyllwild circle .... clean, neat, good service....BUT ..... food (at least the well advertised burger) ..... was let's say --- LESS. Nice outdoor seating, live music, great service .... but, burger was ....let's say..... still moving / rare (though, we were not asked about desired cooking); bun soaky, no taste, etc, etc, etc....

This is one of our favorite places to stop for lunch. The service is great and the food even better. They make almost everything from scratch right at the restaurant. From the hamburgers to the pulled pork sandwiches, it's great food.
Highly recommend this restaurant to friends. It was our 2nd time here in 2 years and the quality of...

The food took forever to arrive, it was bland and soggy. I could hear the owner screaming at the server, it was cold and dark. Iaybe as a bar it's ok but for lunch, no!

Our burgers are made fresh every day, from freshly ground Angus beef. We are very sorry if you did not enjoy your meal, but invite you to return some time and give us a 2nd chance.
As for the place being "cold and dark", again we encourage you to stop by again. You say that you visited in May, which...

Went there and was seated on the patio--the white plastic chairs were covered with dirt and greasy finger printst--we placed and order--the older woman who owns the place had a sweater that was covered in pet hair and pushed us to eat desert--all we wanted to do was pay the bill and get out. NOT the place to go if...

We are sorry that our establishment did not meet your standards for cleanliness. If viewing your other reviews, it appears that we are not the only restaurant in Idyllwild that merited this complaint from you. Please note that Idyllwild is a mountain community, plus our restaurant is located just off the main highway through town. We make ever effort to...

Burgers are not that good- and that is what they advertise. Also- too expensive for what they put on the table. I swore I would never go back after they refused to honor a coupon they admitted they released but "didn't work out for them". Lastly- their outdoor area is right next to loud air conditioning units. One bright spot-...

We have been to Goodtimes several times now and we have not been disappointed a single time. The food there is outstanding, whether you get one of their award-winning burgers (yes, they are award winning - I've seen the award), a juicy & tender pulled pork tenderloin BBQ sandwich or a classic Reuben on Rye. The food is all prepared...

Located in town and a great spot for a brew and watching the motorcycles pass. Great service. Extremely limited menu, but the fish tacos are really good.

This diner is across rthe street from where we stayed at the Strawberry Creek B&B. Portions are large and flavorful. I had a Burger with onion rings and my wife had the fish sandwich with rings. Both were cooked to our liking and tasted great! The wine service was better than expected for a diner. They also have several craft...

We are sincerely sorry that you did not enjoy your burger during your visit with us. All our burgers are made from fresh ground, top quality Angus beef. However, we understand that each person has slightly different tastes when it comes to burger preparation. Should you give us another opportunity to serve you, please note that if you are unhappy...
