Lake Arrowhead Sports Grille
Blue Jay, California
Good outcome here: the business is still trading today.
The short answer
Sports grille with very recent reviews confirming active operation.
What happened on the show
Perched in Blue Jay near Lake Arrowhead, California, the Lake Arrowhead Sports Grille got its twelfth season visit as a mountain town sports bar hoping for an Irvine turnaround. The show gave the grille its usual two day makeover on a deliberately small refit budget, a cycle of tasting, hard truth telling, and a fresh relaunch. Because the Wikipedia list preserves no synopsis for this episode, the exact troubles Irvine met at the grille are left blank here rather than guessed at. The current news is clearly good: Yelp reviews run through spring 2026 with a solid rating across several hundred entries, and the Facebook page shows steady engagement. Lake Arrowhead Sports Grille joins the twelfth season survivors, a mountain grille still busy well past its televised moment.
After the cameras left
The Lake Arrowhead Sports Grille is open. Yelp reviews run current through the spring of 2026, carrying a 4.0 rating across more than four hundred reviews, and a Facebook page showed strong engagement, both consistent with an active, well-trafficked business, so this is a high-confidence call. The Blue Jay grille is confirmed operating as of 2026 at its Highway 189 address, one of the ambush-season stops that clearly stuck.
