First time visit and found the bean and bacon soup was very good as was my burger. I'm glad I checked urbanspoons to select my lunch. Everyone was friendly during our visit.
My wife and I both enjoyed our Brown Bear Burgers! Service was great too!
The Bear RULES - and dear J. Sorry you did not like the Brown Bear. The place should have a "Keep Out Metro-Sexuals" sign. I didn't even see tofu on their menu either BUT the burgers and dogs are really to die for.
We are only in town for 6 days each year but we go there 2-3 times at least. Great FOOD, SERVERS and ya know I do confess I never tried their broasted chicken but then why would I when there is yummy stuff to enjoy. Life can be fun, especially when you actually LIVE it.
Tyler. When i was there i thought the food was amazing. We were in Michigan for over 3 weeks and we atleast went there 3 times or more. The bugers were amazing they filled me up. I would have never tought of a restruant like that in my life!1(:
Great bar food and HUGE burgers. Try the onion rings with homemade ranch, you wont be sorry.
Great food, huge portions, reasonable prices. Go early - this place is a local favorite for good reason
Cons:
Bathrooms were a hot mess, tp holder on floor, no paper towels, no place to hang purse. NEEDS new bathroom upgrades. They had a crowd of 8 people waiting to enter because they didn't open doors until 20 mins after posted open time of 4pm.
Pros:
food was good. I had pulled pork sand and onion rings. Seems to be one of the few local restaurants open after 2pm.
Very nice. Enjoyed lunch, great service too! Price noted includes a lunch chicken salad for my wife and 3 beers and tip.
Great stop but my only minor change would be to add more seasoning to your burgers. Salt pepper and some onion powder. Also switch to a brioche bun. The ground beef was great and the cook on the burger was great.
Cheers!
Had the brown bear burger. I could not believe the bun did not interfere in the taste of the burger. So good.
The piña-peño burger is easily one of the best burgers i ever had! Savory with a hint of sweet, sour, and spicy. Had the beef medium rare, so it was juicy and not hard. I'm not normally a fan of blue cheese, but it played nicely with the other flavors. I love it when restaurants come up with new dishes!
Staff was to-the-point and friendly. Crowded but the wait time was reasonable.
We were staying at a hotel nearby and went to Brown Bear for take out. Everyone was so nice unfortunately I don’t remember any of their names. When we got back to our hotel we were shocked at how hot the food still was. Our burgers were cooked perfectly (medium) and our fries were crispy and delicious, we also ordered the potato skins and they were amazing. Definitely eat here!!!
The place was packed on a Sunday night but we were still seated very quickly. Our server, Kelly, was incredibly friendly and very attentive. The prices are reasonable and we left stuffed. We were slightly disappointed in the small cheesecake but not enough to dampen the evening or lower the rating. Definitely recommend!
Burgers were good, we should have gotten fries instead of their homemade potato chips. They are not good at all. Service was adequate.
I had the famous brown bear Burger. I really enjoyed it and even finished it. I ordered it medium. It lacked some seasoning for my palate but it was cooked to perfection. The onion rings were delicious.
Great food! Got the Notorious Brown bear burger. It was very big! They cook it to order, and you can upgrade it to come with Fries instead of chips. Also got a kids fish and chips. Comes with two strips and fries. They cook the food fresh and it all comes out hot! Bathrooms were a little small. Would definitely go back!
