Soooo......

I'd been wanting to try this place for years bc I'd heard about their hash browns. And they disappointed a little.

They weren't awful. I totally see what they're going for and the shock factor is definitely there even if you know what you're in for. Definitely a massive loaded hash brown. However, the ingredients were a bit cheap and didn't seem very fresh. The quality of the cook on the hashbrowns seemed decent and it tasted good but food rating would've been 5/5 if the veggies and meats were better quality.

The restaurant itself needs a lot of work. Cleaning. Updating. Repairing. Lots of stuff wasn't working when we visited, including the griddle, I believe. My friends also said there was a bad odor (I'm usu the first to smell stuff but I guess I was too excited to try the hash browns lol) that hit them as soon as we walked in.

Staff was excellent and very friendly, though a bit flustered due to all the non-functional appliances.

I'm happy to have visited but I won't be returning unless there's report of improvement.

Thank you all for your sweet kindness, we love coming here just because it's like having breakfast with family. It's sooooo laid back and relaxed you can talk about anything like you are at ma's house. Thank you guys for always making us feel comfortable here and enjoying a wonderful breakfast with family ❤️

Food was excellent.. my thoughts personally.
Omelet was just stuffed with to much meat.
Really couldn't enjoy the flavors..meat was way overwhelming.. otherwise excellent.

Food was a little over done, server was swamped. They were moving quickly though. Perfect mom and pop restaurant.

DO NOT PAY WITH CARD. My debit card information was stolen after only using it at this restaurant. Bank determined the numbers were used and linked with my routing number to make a $2,000 purchase as an e-Check towards a small business, which was reached out to for their sake as well. Awful world we live in.

A very good restaurant!!! The food was really good. It took some time for the food to be served (it’s a family restaurant after all) but when it was served my and my family were shocked at the size of the three dishes we ordered. For example, the burrito was as big as the plate. No kidding! I don’t mean this in a negative way, of course. As our server said, “You don’t leave Papa Bear’s without being full.” Speaking about the server, she was great! Very welcoming and talkative. Came around every few minutes to see whether anything was wrong. As for the ambience, the place was very friendly and warm. There’s some pictures attached. Not too over-the-top fancy, but not too plain either. The only small suggestion I have - maybe expand the ingredients? Of the omelet, burrito, and hash brown that me and my family ordered they all consisted of mostly hash browns - yes, hash browns even in the burrito - cheese, flour, etc. Overall really nice.

Papa Bears Restaurant is our top choice for lunch, and it never disappoints! The food is always expertly prepared, served hot, and bursting with flavor. Our employees often order the Grizzly to share—it’s awe-inspiring with its generous mix of meat, sausage, bacon, cream cheese, peppers, onions, and hand-shaved potatoes. The portion sizes are perfect, leaving everyone satisfied and energized for the rest of the day. We love the great value without overspending, and the delicious meals keep our whole team coming back for more. If you're craving a hearty, flavorful lunch, look no further than Papa Bears!
