This is a great place to have a burger and a drink or two. The service was great and our server was friendly and attentive. We had burgers and onion rings and both were very good. We enjoyed the atmosphere. We'll be back!
We have to go to the Brown Bear every time we go to Michigan. The one in Shelby is a little more authentic feeling than the one in Pentwater, but both are a delight. The crab bisque is surprisingly amazing. Burgers are out of this world and the apps are all fantastic. Great prices. Service is sometimes iffy, but it’s basically a bar so what can you expect. Love it!!
Never heard of this place but driving home from the UP, we needed a place to stop, and found this. It’s great! Small town place with that vibe but great burgers and such. My sons got the pound burger, one finished and one took some for the ride. I got the pineapple jalapeño burger, which was good too! Staff was friendly and I’d say if you’re heading by Shelby, Michigan… it’s worth the stop!
