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.
