Editorial Review for The Bears' Steakhouse – by B.A. Nilsson
The Scene
For decades, this restaurant has thrived in the woods of Schenectady County without advertising or even listing itself in the phone book. Enthusiasts make pilgrimages from far outside the area, phoning ahead for prime rib or Chateaubriand. The bear-themed memorabilia throughout the dining room gets a little precious, but it's the food that keeps the loyal coming back. Everything about this place is a throwback to Eisenhower days; don't come if you care about fat and cholesterol.
The Food
You're dining in the home of Chef Bob and Pat Payne, nicknamed Papa and Mama Bear, who not only cook up beef (Delmonico, filet mignon), but also chops of pork or lamb and even a couple of seafood entrees. Keep in mind, as the menu states, that "Mama Bear is not responsible for appearance or taste of well-done steaks."

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

We went there for a special occasion and had the best chateau briand in the world - highly recommend you have this. Everything is made from scratch - from the bread in the bread basket to the crust on all the home made pies. Price.......very pleasant!!. $135.00 for 2 including 3 beers and 2 sodas, appetizer, soup, salad, main course and dessert/coffee.
Pros: food is amazing
Cons: need to make reservation several weeks in advance
