Food quality has gone way downhill. Cheap buns, smaller burgers, and they no longer have broasted chicken. Just not like it used to be.

Came in about an hour and 15 minutes before close on a Saturday night we received amazing service from the bartender whose name was Bell she was super friendly and very attentive we had a fantastic experience with the food as well . I would 10 out of 10 recommend this place to anyone we had the The notorious bear burger definitely worth it !!!

Okay so, we went to eat at this place yesterday, and let's just say that my family and I never coming back to this place. First things first, the place itself was so hot in there and there was no AC turned on. Then as their Chicken strip basket (or whatever it was called) came out, lets just say the food in general made me sick to my stomach...

My wife and I live near the Brown Bear in Pentwater and are regular customers durring the spring through fall months for years. We had a few friends up and the 5 of us went to dinner at the Brown Bear. We had a server who has been there for several years. My wife and I ordered a sandwich to split. When the bills came each paid separately. We placed a $50 dollar bill to cover our bill expecting change. One other person in our party apparently put a $50 dollar bill out for their payment also. The server collected all the bills together at one time. When she returned she told us we were short on our bill that we only gave her a $20. We are certin we gave her a $50 and questioned her about it. She became rude and insisted only one person gave her a $50 and it was not us. Reluctantly we gave her more cash to cover the bill. As we were leaving, walking past the bar where she was standing she made some snide comment as.sge was speaking to another server.
I am just appalled at her treatment of a customer. Perhaps she was having a rough day but her demeanor was not acceptable.
We have been very regular customers but will certinaly rethink our dinner options in the future.

Our favorite place to go when staying in Pentwater
Carrie was our server, we ordered a beer fried pickles, cuban sandwich with onion rings, and the A1 Burger with sweet potato fries.
Service was great.
Atmosphere was pretty noisy and it wasn’t clear if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait.
Burger was real solid and cooked perfect medium as ordered. The burger bun was SO good. Cuban was okay. Not enough ham, and the pulled pork is mediocre. Not at all a bad sandwich, I’m just picky about my cubanos. Sweet potato fries are thin, almost shoe string style and not super crunchy. Would probably go for the regular fries next time. Onion rings were good.
Overall a very solid option if you’re in pentwater and want a tasty dinner. Our tab was about $60 after tip.

My husband and I have been fans of the prime rib sandwich for a decade or so. We travel 45 minutes just to enjoy one. Having said that, our most recent experience was very disappointing. Our sandwich, though generous and tender, had absolutely no flavor, nor did the accompanying au jus. The roll was not grilled/toasted as usual either. We will think twice about making the trip in the future.
