DONT GET THE CHATEAUBRIAND !!!!!!!!

by 70 challenger

sittings are 5:30 and 8:30

wed - sat. thats it

The chateaubriand is basically a very large amount

of baked/ overcooked tenderloin, with some VERY strange seasoning. You pay $39 a person for it, a normal person can eat half, and bring half home.

I don't get why people rave about this. The one time

I got it, mine was the ONLY table in the restaurant that

had it. None of the regulars get it. Very over rated.

This is a very weird tasting meat. It was actually

terrible. All I did is marvel at the fabulous meals

being served around me to the other tables

and wish I didnt order this over cooked

giant piece of weird meat. My guests somewhat

enjoyed it, but it was not a winner. Maybe you have to

be a chateaubriand fan to enjoy this.

All dinners come with baby carrots with a brown sugar

flavor, a perfectly cooked baked potato and a nice salad.

These are the winners:

The Delmonico for about $28 is fabulous.

Its about a 22 + ounzer. a winner

The Prime rib is about $30 and you end up with

about 2+ pounds of it, so you are taking home a

nice box. If you get the individual prime rib,

its about 2.5 - 3 inches thick and covers your

plate so the veggies are on the side. Its MASSIVE

If you have a party of say 4 and order

prime rib , bring your camera, you will not believe

the giant, GIANT platter of prime rib they bring to

the table, wow. They basically bring 2 slices

per person, about 1.75 inches thick and vertically

served on a platter. Its stunning. Each person is

bringing their second slice home.

The filet mignon is $30 for one, and $40 for 2.

You'll be bringing one home. a winner

Had not tried but looking forward to:

-scallops $20

-strip and chop sampler $25

-Lamb Chops ( 3 of them ) $30 I think

they also have a chicken dinner $20,

never saw anyone get it

appetizers:

The beef vegetable soup is an absolute winner. $6

The shrimp cocktail is 5 very large shrimp with hot red sauce for $11. winner

FANTASTIC is the herring apetizer for $6, wow was

that good and MORE than enough to split 4 ways

Plan on spending $60 - $75 a person w tip.

Plan on being stuff to the gills.

Plan on a cooler to bring home what you

cant eat.

• Pros: big portions, great steaks and more, read on
• Cons: chateaubriand is the only con, and i mean "CON"

You better be hungry!!

This is a nice little restaurant. Service was a little slow, but we were very well treated. Went with a party of six. 5 of us had pre-ordered the Prime Rib. What we got was 10 healthy slices of prime rib on a platter, along with plenty of baked potatos and baby carrots. Enough left over for each of us to take a slice apiece home. The meat was good, but not quite as good as some of the other reviews would suggest. The person who didn't get the rib got scallops. There were a ton of them, and they received a very good review. Desserts were (to me) the best part of our meal. We had several different ones, and the waiter even threw in a complimentary piece of cheesecake, just for us to try. They were all excellent. Definitely worth saving some room for!! Bill for 6 of us was right around $300, including tip, with no alcohol. Good place to go. Make sure you make reservations. I will definitely go back.

• Pros: Good, plentiful food. Super desserts
• Cons: Out in the middle of nowhere. No childrens menu

My first time eating at The Bears,and not the last! My wife and I were with 2 other couples who went with the Papa Bear specials and came away with full stomachs and food for the next day.

The service was superb,he was attentive and witty and made us all feel like we were family in his home.

Find a friend and go,see you there

• Pros: cooked exactly to your order
• Cons: none
