Blondies’ tagline is “Good, honest food” which we think is a good, honest description of what you’re going to get. Is the inside incredibly charming? Yes. Is it within walking distance from the house? Yes. Is it the best food you’ve ever had? No. But it’s a staple of Arrowbear Lake and a nice, quick bite.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué empacar
If you travel in the wintertime, BRING TIRE CHAINS
They will be required up the mountain if it is snowing, and getting your car stuck is more trouble than it's worth. Get them down the mountain because all of the mountain stores upcharge them knowing they can grift unsuspecting travelers.
Qué empacar
Pack some warm clothes
Even in the Summer, the nights (and sometimes even the days!) can get pretty chilly. We've had snow until Mother's Day.
