I went in for my daughter’s 16th birthday after driving 2 hours from NH only to be so disappointed.
Never been before and the service sucked no direction way to loud to hear anything paid 80 dollars for what!!! Nothing. Didn’t even give us what we ordered gave my daughter a box and me a tray to eat off of. Only good thing there was the bar and karaoke. Loved the ladies at the bar she was kind and helpful
Went there at 930. They close at 10.
They were out of brisket
They were out of pulled pork
They were out of moinks
They were out of burnt ends
They served me under cooked pastrami
They served me cold Mac and cheese
They served me pork burnt ends that were 95% just burnt fat; virtually no meat
And in their rush to get me out the door they undercooked my fries.
Who doesn’t enjoy a 27$ fountain soda in the car, as I was clearly not allowed...read full review
Order was wrong they made me pay for it anyway manager on duty was a very rude lady called back spoke to another guy who was extremely rude as well so they didn’t care because they’re Busy

Bear's Smokehouse Barbecue offers decent food with great atmosphere, but with some drawbacks. Portions can be small, and prices have recently increased. While the brisket could use more flavor and the collards need improvement, the restaurant's ambiance is a highlight. The staff is exceptionally accommodating, helpful, and cheerful, making diners feel welcome whether they are enjoying dine-in or delivery. The venue is a great place to hang out with friends, offering ample parking and a pleasant outdoor patio for warmer days. The food, including pulled pork, brisket, pulled chicken, mac and cheese, corn bread, moink balls, and desserts like chocolate Oreo mousse, is delicious and consistently enjoyable. Service is generally good, and the atmosphere creates a welcoming environment, making it a favorite spot for many. However, service can sometimes be rude, and pickup orders may experience delays.
