Uncle Bear’s Grill & Tap - Tatum

Permanently closed. Very sad.

Was eating nearby today and saw demo being done at the restaurant. Not sure if it’s closing or being remodeled? Has always been a neighborhood go-to. Hope it sticks around!

This is our fourth visit. It’s been very consistent. It is a dog friendly location where you can bring your dog to the patio. On the inside is dog themed so if you are fur parents, this is the place for you. The food is elevated tap grill fare featuring customizable pizzas, big selection of burgers appetizers, and Southwest items. My partner loves the turkey avocado, melt sandwich. I think he would eat them every day. I have tried several items mostly the Southwest selection. The tostada nachos are good. They’re small flat tortilla rounds, dressed up with nacho toppings and it would actually be a shareable dish because it’s quite a large serving. My favorite are the Birria tacos. I’ve had them now three times with chicken. You can select chicken, steak or brisket. They fry them in a Birria consommé until nice and crispy and they have cheese and chicken on the inside and pico de Gallo, Salsa and a small cup of the consommé for dipping. This is absolutely delicious. I wasn’t familiar previously with Birria, so I did not know what it was. Now it’s one of my favorite flavors.The service here is generally friendly. Yesterday our server was good, but unfortunately someone else attended our table a time or two and he seemed quite indifferent.Altogether this is a place I would recommend. The inside has many monitors showing sports events. If you are a craft beer connoisseur, this is also the place for you, because they have quite a large selection.

My fiancé and I wanted to go somewhere new for dinner and came across Uncle Bear’s. We were immediately greeted by Shayla (our waitress) and seated. We decided to share the pizza, and added the brisket and jalapeños. The brisket is so soft with a smoky flavor; it was the perfect addition to our pizza. We will definitely be back to try more food.

Austin was amazing! Thank you for being so attractive. It's dog friendly so bring the pups. Lots of pix of customers with their dogs. The food was amazing. We definitely recommend this place, both for food and pets. Thank you Austin for a great experience.

Honestly extremely disappointed. We (5 people) came today (Sunday) around 1:30pm. The restaurant had 3 tables inside with a total of 6 people. I am gluten free and love their wings. Every time except this time the manager has baked my wings instead of fry them to accommodate my dietary needs. My allergy isn’t a choice or something I’m doing as trend. I’ve spoken to the owner in the past and they have told me they have no problem accommodating the request if the restaurant isn’t busy and told me it takes 20-30 min which I’m always ok with. We chose to sit down because it wasn’t busy thinking they would have no issues as normal. But apparently the kitchen manager (Anthony) chose not to accommodate a local regular. Maybe he wanted to stand around and watch football instead of watching 10 wings in the oven for 20 min. He came out with an attitude and shared with me that him and the other manager buttheads and he’s putting his foot down and will be giving him a call and will not make my wings today! Not even a I’ll do it this time but going forward….Not really something you share with a customer as it sounds completely unprofessional. I felt bad for our waitress who was new and in training because she was so sweet and understanding. Most businesses are struggling with the way the economy is currently and to be honest in Scottsdale/phoenix we have 1000’s of other choices but we chose Uncle Bears. Unfortunately they just lost business from a family of 5 that attend uncle Bears regularly. Plenty of other restaurants near by that will have over the top customer service with just as good of food and accommodate a gluten allergy.I wish Uncle Bears the best of luck!

Solid food, beer, and service. A nice, friendly, brewery experience overall.Try the garlic parm fries. Yum!It was noon on a Saturday and when we arrived we were literally the only folks in the place. Might be seasonal (hot lately), but the strip mall lot was pretty full, so…. everything about this location of uncle bears seems right, but maybe cost is keeping folks home? They’re definitely pricey, but no more pricey than other similar restaurants of late. Hmm. Hope they make it.

Great service. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Wings lacked seasoning on the inside. Very bland but the outside was ok.Prime rib sliders were very very salty but edible. Au jus sauce was not used.Nice atmosphere.

A month late posting but Uncle Bear's was a fun time! Part of that fun was listening to the two drunks at the bar hitting on the waitress. Boy, did she handle them well, with decorum and style.The food. Yeah, the food was very good, as were the two cocktails. The booze was so tasty we almost ordered a couple more but listening to the two drunks at the bar made us change our minds.Our server, Brandi, was top notch: attentive, friendly, patient, and helpful. Uncle Bear's has a pretty long list of menu items so Brandi had to come back a few times before we were finally ready to place our meal order.The pretzel and drinks came out quickly, the food did not take long to follow. My sister dug her OB "Dog Beach" shroom burger, and I devoured Coco's PB&J. I know, it sounds kinda gross (who puts peanut butter & jelly on a burger?!) but I had seen it at othe places before & while visiting Uncle Bear's I took the plunge. It was good! Although the serrano jelly was a bit too hot for my taste buds, I would still recommend it.The coleslaw was not the vinegary kind, it was very refreshing. I would definitely visit Uncle Bear's again, if only to taste a couple different cocktails.

Brandy was so attentive and amazing. She made our experience the best even at a busy part of her night and we will definitely be back because of her!

Went in nobody said anything. Sign said see hostess for seating we got nothing! Sat ourselves waited some more waiter finally came over dropped 2 menus and 2 silverware and walked away again without even a word. No hello, No welcome in Nothing! So we left and that's what you will get from us Nothing! Great way to run a business!

Great addition to the Sheaborhood with a casual bar vibe. Clean build out with a super dog friendly concept. Great food and drink specials, one of the more competitive happy hours in the PV area. Shout out to Lauren behind the bar for exemplary hospitality each and every visit! Give the Tio Oso Mexican Lager a try.
