The inability of the cooking staff to make French fries truly astounds me. I am truly impressed at how soggy their fried foods are. It's honestly an achievement.

I have never eaten such good food in my life. The way that staff handles the food is with the utmost care, and every time that I interact with a team member, they always take the time to be friendly and patient and pay me special attention. If I were to recommend anywhere to eat in all of the US, I would recommend The Bear’s Den. It is on par with three star Michelin restaurants, and I would dare say that it deserves four Michelin stars in order to really express the quality that possesses. Do not walk but run to The Bear’s Den!

Some people say that this food is better than the majority of other colleges. Howver, the oversauced and often watery pasta, and raw hamburgers make me think otherwise. The risk of food poisoning also does not go unnoticed- I had never experienced such pains until eating salmon from the grizzly grill. however, i was rarely left hungry.

The food of the institution, which has an $8 billion endowment, is lacking. Gordon Ramsay would not be impressed with the lack of culinary maturity. Some iconic favorites like the half-and-half provide more nostalgia than flavor. and yet I will miss this place.

As a vegetarian BD food has nothing to offer. I don’t want pizza or salad everyday. I want food to keep me full. I’m not trying to be healthy but there is not enough protein. Sushi that is day old. I deserve way more. I was promised options, good food. There is no food. Don’t get me started on the pasta , the marinara. I would rather throw up and then eat my throw up. Actually it tastes the same.

Food is ok but should add more gluten free options

The pinnacle of the culinary arts. Every day at the bears den is an inspiration to the palette. Each half completes my whole. Have you ever found love in a plastic container? I have, and it was here. Travelers near and far come to the lou. The bears den is here for you.

the service is awesome... the people who work here - they make the place. the kids who attend... not so much. cherry tree has amazing coffee.

In the hallowed halls of WahU's campus stands the Bears Den, a culinary cornerstone embodying both tradition and sustenance. However, despite its esteemed reputation, a discerning palate cannot help but lament the inconsistency and lackluster quality of its offerings. The menu, though extensive, fails to captivate with its uninspired selections and bland executions. One cannot help but yearn for a more innovative approach to gastronomy, one that transcends the mundane and ventures into the realm of culinary excellence. While the ambiance may exude collegiate charm, it is ultimately overshadowed by the disappointing flavors that grace the plates of eager diners. In the pursuit of academic excellence, let us not forsake the pursuit of culinary mastery. The Bears Den, though steeped in tradition, must rise to the occasion and reclaim its rightful place as a beacon of culinary brilliance on the WahU campus.
The food here is mediocre. Sometimes very bad. I had the so called half and half and it was undercooked more like a quarter and a quarter.

Exceptional service. Every time I come to this fine dining establishment I am greeted with the most kind souls and genuine friendly employees who make my day every. single. day. I love the atmosphere, the music, the soda machines, the variety, the stir fry, the pasta, the half and half’s, and everything in between. Everyone desires for your desire.

In the heart of the South 40 on Washington University’s campus, the Bear’s Den is a lively eatery with many options to accommodate anyone’s palate. From pasta to poke to stir fry to veggie burgers, anything you get here will be delicious and will definitely be cooked fully through.

When I first came to WashU, I knew that the food was supposed to be spectacular and I had high expectations coming. WashU BD has never come close to those expectations, and I am surprised to have never dirás of food poisoning. The chicken is raw, the tikka masala has only been good a few times, and the prices make it much better to eat off campus. If you are a student touring, know that the food at BD is worse than the other places you are considering. The works and everything else are great
