Food was just ok. The atmosphere was amazing wish we'd come during the summer outside heaters on the patio and all gorgeous. The moink balls were not my thing and was disappointed I spent 19$ on that meat choice. But my son got brisket and ribs the brisket was good enough I bought more
Vegetarian options: They have an impossible meat.

Good barbecue is hard to find in the northeast but this place is great! It has everything you want, a bar, delicious food from a menu with plenty to choose from, and lots of seating. The bear balls were especially tasty. Looking forward to the next visit!

this place was really nice but the food was nasty the pull pork was cold, the Mac and cheese look like it was swimming I didn’t know if it was cheesy or buttery the bake beans was nasty the sprite was flat it taste like water with color it was a nice place but I 10/10 don’t recommend

I usually get the brisket, and burnt ends and kielbasa. I'm partial about my wings and ribs so I like my own. But the beans, greens and Mac are great sides

Wow, Bear’s has gone downhill. Out of popular items, ridiculously high prices, some food not as good as it used to be. Too bad. It used to be so good.

Crazy expensive. A side pint is 12 bucks. A full rack 32 bucks. 60 bucks for the full rack and 2 sides. The food is good but it ain’t excellent. They are rationing the sauce in thimble size containers. I don’t think this we’ll be a regular place to eat.

We ordered a head so we cant rate dine in. I had the rack of ribs with ghost pepper BBQ sauce on the side. Sides were coleslaw and collard greens. Wow! The ribs were soooo good! Love the rub on it. You can slather your favorite BBQ sauce on it but it's just fine without it. The sides were awesome also. Jeffery our take out host was great. He packed the back while going through the order item by item. Service with a smile! Highly recommend Bears. We will ALWAYS come back when we need our BBQ fix!
Parking: Limited parking available but in favor of rating, this was a weekday during business hours and parking is in a shared lot with other businesses.

The food was very good. My first experience in New Haven restaurant. Very big and spacious. Drinks were good too. The bartenders did a great job on drinks. My friends and I are and enjoyed the atmosphere.
