Biscuits are freshly made and they have a small display window where you can watch them make them, that's always entertaining. You also have a choice of a spread to come with your biscuits. There's a wide range of spreads to choose from, like apple butter, jalapeno, cinnamon, you name it! And 75¢ for any additional spreads. Because we happen to come during their blueberry festival, they had both original and blueberry biscuits to choose from. Our first order was blueberry then it was so good that we ordered plain biscuits to go! With a different spread, of course. Although it was a quick stop, I'd come back and try one of their plates because, boy! They looked delicious and very generous too. read more

Honestly I wasn't feeling like writing a review today, but I feel moved by Baby Bear. Kind of a surprise because the only two other times I've been to SLO Ranch Baby Bear has been closed, so I was honestly surprised to see it open. I guess it is a Friday afternoon, and I mean, if a small restauranteur in a solo location can have limited hours I guess more power to them, hooray! I ordered the crispy chicken and grits and a side of fried okra, to go. I could have ordered anything on the menu and been pretty stoked to get my food, it all looks pretty good. Especially if you like pimento cheese, and I do. I ended up sitting at a table for a few minutes after my food was ready because I got a beer from a neighbor while I waited, and the okra looked too good to pass up while it was fresh. They clearly bread the okra on site, no Sysco bullshit here. And they dust it with some kinda seasoning that slaps. Plus the side of okra was enough to feed a small army if I wasn't the little piggy ya'll know me to be. 5 stars plus. GET. THE. OKRA. The crispy chicken is also breaded on site and fried to perfection. The menu said greens and silly me expected that to mean a mess of collards, cause it's a southern place, but it was a lightly dressed arugula with pickled onions, which I'm not mad at. I told you I'm a pimento cheese fan so no surprise I could have used one more spoon of it in the Chicken and Grits. No biggie, I'm a piggy. But the grits are kind of just an afterthought. Bland and boring and without the toppings would go straight in the trash. I've had amazing stone ground corn grits from the south... this ain't it. Maybe use corn broth to make them memorable or something? The bowl weighed probably 2.5 pounds, so those are some dense grits. Still, 5 stars for being open and making me happy. Would I get the grits again? Nah. Not at this point. But all those toppings are arranged together on several other menu items, and I'm looking forward to the next time I stumble on them while they are open. Kudos! read more

I have tried this restaurant twice so I will try to give a fair review. I got the fried chicken plate, dark meat. It came with a thigh and leg. For my two sides, I chose the mac and cheese and fried okra. It didn't take too long for the food to come out, maybe 10-15 minutes. It wasn't too busy either. You get a buzzer when your food is ready to alert you. The fried chicken was fried OK. It was fried quite dark and the breading was very craggy. It was steaming hot so the chicken is made to order. Unfortunately, it was super bland. Like no flavor at all. There was some seasoning powder on it that looked like paprika? Either way, it had no flavor so maybe it was just for garnish. No salt, no spice, like literally it tasted like nothing. Maybe slightly of fry oil? I thought I was going crazy because it was like tasting air. The fried okra, same as the chicken. Zero flavor or seasoning. I did get a massive portion of it so extra points for that but it didn't taste of anything. Again, not even salty. I even smelled it and it smelled like nothing, just faintly of fry oil. The mac and cheese was bad :( It was cold and stale, like it was left on the counter overnight vibes. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. The cheese sauce wasn't a sauce because it was so cold, it just congealed with a layer of dried out cheese on top so none of the sauce was even incorporated in the noodles. Also, very bland again! To the lovely gal taking orders, shout out to her because she quickly replaced the mac and cheese with the green salad when asked. The green salad was just arugula and pickled onions with a vinegar/mayo based dressing. It was the best part of the meal because it actually tasted like something which is lowkey depressing. The previous time I was here, I got the biscuits with jam and honey butter. The biscuits are fine. A bit too dense and dry for me but I think they're gluten free? So maybe that's why. Wouldn't get again. So 2/5 stars because the service workers were nice and replaced my side with something else and because I don't want to give one star to a local business. However, much needs to be improved. I hope the owners take this as constructive criticism and not as hate as I would return if things improved. But based off these two experiences, I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

I was super happy to find this mostly gluten free place, and they serve halal chicken! The staff is very knowledgable on which options were and were not gluten free. The blueberry dirty soda was good I liked the pickled okra. I got the fried chicken entree with dark meat and fries and grits. The grits were nicely salted. However the rest of the meal was not. The chicken was really underseasoned, probably not seasoned at all. So was the biscuit and it was very dry as well. I was told only the buttermilk biscuit is gluten free so i expected it to taste like buttermilk but this was like a cornbread biscuit. This place would be perfect if they seasoned the food more read more

A bunch of us tried some of the food offerings over at the new San Luis Ranch Market the other day. It was raining, so we all sat inside where there was a lounge area as well as both regular tables and high-level tables. We shared the food, and discovered a lot of new additions to the SLO area cuisine. Two of my friends got the biscuits from Baby Bear Biscuits. One got the bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on a biscuit and the other got gravy and biscuits. I got to taste some of the BLT and it was delicious. It also had that full rich flavor of the biscuit to kind of pump up the volume. It's huge, like four biscuits in one, so the servings are very large. We had fun dining inside, but it is kind of a food court experience. Don't expect tablecloths or service. You have to walk over to each vendor and order what you want, and then basically get it as takeout to take to your table. Always fun to try new things and we left with lots of new dining options. read more

Wow! Great first experience at Baby Bear Biscuits! Super nice staff - answered all of my questions and helped me figure out what to order. I thoroughly enjoyed the BLTA Biscuit. Delicious crunchy perfectly executed bacon, fresh avocado, tasty heirloom tomato, and the arugula & pickled red onion was all exquisite - on a delicious biscuit! Biscuit was buttery but not greasy - soft and pillowy on the inside with a nice firm exterior. Everything on the menu looked great. Will definitely be back! I also love the SLO Market in general. Such a cool place to hang out - and a great place to go with friends who might have different tastes or dietary restrictions since there's so many options in one place. Glad I didn't order a side as the biscuit itself was plenty (!) and left us with just enough room to pop over to Negranti for a small scoop of ice cream. Ambiance was excellent. Lots of seating options inside and out. Excellent musician playing today that was lovely background music for a catch up luncheon with my childhood bestie. Highly recommend!! Travelers: great for a stop along the road - not far off the highway. read more

I went to Baby Bear Biscuits a couple of times when I was in SLO. The first day, I got the biscuit with ham, bacon, and bacon jam. It was really amazing, full of flavor, and more like a meal than just a biscuit sandwich. When I came back, I ordered the biscuit with the fried green tomatoes, and it was really delicious. I liked how it was a little bit lighter and very fresh. Though neither biscuit really seemed possible for me to pick up and eat, I had to use a knife and fork for both of them. Food was made to order and very fresh. I agree with what others have said that the service is slow, and the staff don't seem very friendly or welcoming. When you walk up, they don't even look up. We did get acknowledged with a gruff "in a minute" on the second visit. Also, it does seem to take a bit of time for the food to come out. I appreciate that it was made fresh to order. read more

I wanted to like this place but some things were kind of meh. In their defense, what I ordered was really hearty and thick and I should have read the menu more carefully. I ordered the Piggy Wiggly (wiggy?) which had bacon jam, strips of bacon, and ham. It was just overkill; I didn't think they'd put so much everything. The service was also oddly slow. A few people went up to the counter to double check on their order. It was really busy since we went The Weeknd before Easter and there was an Easter egg hunt going on for children but other than that it was pretty casual. The biscuit itself was delicious; I just wish I got something more simple. I'd be willing to try it again with something else lighter on the menu. read more

Baby Bear Biscuits - BLTA with two added eggs fed my husband and I. - Southern Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I have visited Baby Bear Biscuits three times, and I loved it every time! I buy the breakfast sandwich, egg, cheese, bacon on those wonderful, amazing biscuits! It's consistently superb, with the right amount of each topping. It's also much bigger than the average breakfast sandwich at any fast food place. Service is very friendly; the owner is generally onsite and he clearly wants happy customers. It takes a little extra time because they are cooking to order, so maybe plan to spend a few minutes waiting. It'll be worth it. Their beverages are bottled; no fountain drinks. Seating is wide open, both inside and outside. read more

Most of the stuff on the menu looked so crazy and indulgent that I didn't even know where to start! I ended up choosing the Carolina Fries because it's kind of a little bit of everything, and as ridiculous as it was, I loved it. Hopefully I'll be back to try the biscuits, the chicken, the gravy, all of it. read more

Last time I was I the SLO Ranch Farms and Marketplace was at the March 21 "soft opening" event for several of the restaurant establishments there in. That was quite an event and one of the restaurants, Baby Bear Biscuits, was more than intriguing and so a return trip was planned. Recently we made the trip and had another opportunity to not only to converse with Chef Norwood Pryor regarding his dedication of farm to table fare but to order several dishes from his Menu. From the moment we stepped up to order to our departure...all staff were helpful, friendly and attentive. The ambiance/atmosphere was as first experienced at the "soft opening" ...pleasant and airy, with a good buzz and plenty of available seating. Our order consisted of Appetizers: Fried Green Tomatoes (3/5 - not as "stunning" as I expected (crust was "soft", not "crisp" like I prefer)...but better for some reason as leftovers in the following days at home). Sandwiches: Fried Chicken Sandwich (5/5 - WOW...give this one a try, it's down right delicious!) and from the Special Plates: Shrimp and Grits (5/5 - Fabulous presentation and really yummy!) The portions served are more than plentiful so plan on taking some of your meal home ("the value factor"). After our meal Chef came out to thank us for returning...perhaps he remembered my Stetson hat from our first meeting. What stood out from our conversation was his "passion" for his craft. He was completely engaging, and invited us to return soon. Thank-you Chef! We enjoyed our dining experience with Baby Bear Biscuits in the SLO Ranch Farms and Marketplace and on this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Baby Bear Biscuits earned this definite "recommend" 4 Star review. read more

Very crispy chicken. Very creamy grits. The salad was placed over hot grits and just didn't belong. Otherwise this is a very delicious meal. read more

Baby Bear Biscuits - Crispy Chicken and grits. - Southern Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

As welcoming as the name sounds, they didn't have a very friendly staff, but at least the food was great. The lady taking orders seemed very rush even though we were the only ones in line, it felt like "order your food and leave" kind of vibe. I ordered the pancakes with cinnamon and strawberries, not sure what it was called, but it was delicious. They gave me my food with no syrup or anything so it was dry at first, so I had to go back and get some. They had a weird mix of wooden utensils and metal utensils (for example they had metal forks but were out of metal spoons, so they had some wooden ones out). This kinda surprised me that they were out of utensils since I was there shortly after they opened. I would probably go back since I enjoyed slo ranch farms, but if there were other brunch options, I'd definitely like to try that out. read more

I was surprised to see the reviews on this establishment, I would say one of the best fried chickens for the area. Even better customer service. The employee who took our order forgot about our order, when we asked how much longer she apologized and found out where we were seated outside and gave us a huge red velvet cake for free. You rarely see that type of customer service these days. Additionally, she brought our food out to us when it was ready, I'm not sure if they always do that but out of the the restaurants there they were the only ones to do that. Now to the chicken, extremely fresh, moist, and breading was crunchy. I wish they had some sort of hot sauce. The Mac and cheese was great as well but chicken was the star of the show. We did not choose to sit inside but the area looked clean and would sit there if it wasn't a nice day outside. read more

Really enjoyed this cute little place. The owner was there taking orders and also cooking in the back. He was extremely friendly and was happy to answer. Any questions about the menu. I got three individual biscuits all plain for my husband and I got a biscuit breakfast sandwich. All of it was fabulous and I love that it was fresh and made to order. The biscuits were fluffy. The egg was prepared well and my husband enjoyed the plain biscuits with just a little butter on them. read more

The food was fantastic, service was super friendly. Beautiful location in SLO. Looking forward to mind back again.

Ordered food. They were NOT busy when we ordered. It took 36 minutes for our food to come out. It was chicken strips, fries and a BLT sandwich. The fries came out cold. Not even Luke warm. They were cold. The excuse we kept getting was "we have a lot of orders" but we ordered pizza from next door. Got our pizza and ate it all before we ever got our food from this place. The girls in the front are less than helpful. The only one that was remotely trying to make it right was a guy in the back who brought us a fresh basket of fries. Food was good but not good enough to deal with the hassle. Would caution ordering from here. read more

A friend of mine brought me here a couple of months ago, raving about the fried chicken and damn that thing was awful very dry. (I don't think my friend knows how to eat Fried chicken )It seemed like it was from the day before so I was driving through and I decided give them another chance so i stop over here for the biscuits I have never had such crappy food, it took forever and it seemed like they poured salt over the bacon never again coming here again. That was it for me and I thought food from the Carolinas would be really good read more

Planned on trying the biscuits but their special sounded too good to pass up, it was! The portions are huge here, everyone in my party had left overs to take home.

Three of us dined here for our monthly (or so) breakfast today and it was outstanding. Yes, there was a wait. Yes, it was well worth it. Delicious BLTA biscuit for me. Seemed like close to a third pound of bacon, generous portion of avocado, the arugula was dressed with a zesty buttermilk dressing that compliments the richness of the dish and the pickled onion finished it off for a perfectly balanced dish. Pickled okra on the side was a nice add. The biscuit was outstanding. Portion was huge. The chef/owner stopped by to say hi and we had a great chat hearing about his ending up here from NC. Such a wonderful man and so great to hear how involved he is giving back to the community besides providing scrumptious elevated southern food to San Luis. I would try anything on his menu. We will be back for lunch and dinner. I have my eye on the fried chicken and the smashburger (my favorite thing to eat ever.) My friend was stoked to find out she could order wings for breakfast. Thanks, chef. Glad you're here read more

Wait time: only took a few minutes, but I'm also here mid-day Thursday so I can't say how long the wait is otherwise. Biscuit: it's big, and tastes great. The honey butter is of course a classic spread, but give the seasonal jams a try. Blueberry jam was great, can't wait to take it home and add it to a charcuterie board. Chicken: got chicken strips. The breading was nice and crunchy, with a seasoning on it. Had hot honey to dip the chicken, the red pepper flakes l really make this a hot honey. Side: cucumber tomato salad. Be prepared, it has a kick from the vinegar but it nicely balances out the other flavors. The perfect bite: piece of chicken and biscuit dipped in hot honey topped with the tomato salad. Don't judge, I loved it. Searing: plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I was very excited to try this restaurant as they had gluten-free biscuits and other gluten-free options. I ordered gluten-free biscuits with red-eye gravy. I also ordered a side of braised okra. My husband, who is not gluten-free, had the regular biscuit with fried chicken. My SIL and cousins lived in Louisiana and North Carolina for a number of years, so l have eaten many Southern versions of red-eye gravy and biscuits. I didn't expect a gluten-free biscuit to have the taste or texture of a regular biscuit. But l also did not expect to have completely cold, rock-hard, incredibly dense pucks, covered with some kind of completely cold salsa-like sauce, full of peppers and onions and tomatoes. It bore zero resemblance to any kind of red-eye gravy l have ever had, since redeye gravy is made by frying country ham, removing the ham, then adding coffee to the pan. There are regional variations l've had, with sugar in it or a little roux to thicken it, or black pepper, but l have never had something that was more akin to gumbo than red-eye gravy. The fact that it was cold made it inedible, both for food safety and for taste and texture reasons. My husband said his regular fried chicken biscuit was "okay" but he wouldn't go back because the regular biscuit was very dense and dry, very unlike a typical fluffy Southern biscuit. He also said the fried chicken was barely warm, not hot, as you would expect from a freshly fried piece of chicken. The side of braised okra was the only thing l ate. It was warm, not hot and had more onions and peppers than okra, but the flavor and texture of the okra was good. All in all, it was extremely disappointing and we will not be back. read more

Do you want to be full? Portions are really big. Also quite tasty. The grits are very creamy which I appreciate (I've had them plain with butter as well as with shrimp - both are tasty). My hubs has gotten the chicken sandwich and couldn't finish it. Staff is always friendly and we love going there. It's in basically a food court or food hall as they call them so it's find interior seating or go outside and enjoy the planes taking off from SLO airport. read more

Baby Bear Biscuits - Mac and cheese, biscuits and apple butter - Southern Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

2 stars may be generous, but I hate to knock a local small business. I was so excited to try this place because of the menu choices. We don't have a lot of soul food around here so I did not have a lot of expectations. Just fresh food with real ingredients. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I ordered the 2 pieces of chicken with 2 sides (red rice and macaroni and cheese). The macaroni and cheese was clearly old. It had a spoiled taste to it. One bite and it had to be thrown away because I did not want to risk food poisoning. The breading of the fried chicken fell right off when touched. It was clear that the chicken was not defrosted all the way before being breaded and fried. I wouldn't be so dissatisfied if the breading of the chicken had flavor, but there wasn't much there. The red rice was decent, but cold and clearly not fresh either. It was served with some pieces of okra on the side. I tried biting into this and it was slimy and inedible. The biscuit... these should be made fresh and served warm. Not cold and hard. It was clear that none of the food was fresh. I was left disappointed. I want a local, small business to succeed so bad, especially one that is needed in the area. Hopefully the owners take everyone's feedback and apply it so we can return our business here. read more

I hired Norwood of Baby Bear Biscuits to cater my wedding in May. Planning the menu with him was a joy at first -- creative, exciting, and full of promise. But what was delivered on our wedding day was deeply disappointing and, frankly, devastating. As a former pastry chef and having several chef friends at the wedding, we were all flabbergasted this was served as a wedding meal. Many of the dishes we agreed on were either missing entirely or substituted without warning. There was no kids buffet, no vendor meals, no tea or coffee service, and no bread or table snacks. The three-tiered wedding cake we'd discussed in detail was replaced with 3 round cakes with holes in them, and unfrosted sheet cakes that were dry, poorly decorated, and served before we could even do our cake-cutting. My husband and I were left with a single knife to cut our cake, while a member of the catering staff used our decorative cake-cutting set to serve sheet cake to guests. I had dreamt of that moment for months -- and it was gone in a blink. The buffet included cold fried chicken and overcooked macaroni and cheese, which we never approved. The mashed potato bar -- the part I was personally most looking forward to -- was never set up. My guests and I were confused and disappointed. The catering staff appeared unprepared, did not know the menu, and spoke loudly through the Father of the Bride speech -- something my family and I found incredibly disrespectful. Many dishes were cold, poorly cooked or tasted days old. Some were mislabeled or not labeled at all. My guests had to guess whether they were eating beets or potatoes because the staff didn't know what the gray undercooked vegetables were (they were beets, it turned out). There were no accommodations for dietary restrictions we had discussed repeatedly over months of planning. Some guests went hungry. Some felt unwell later that evening, including myself. We had brunch at Baby Bear Biscuits and that was also a disappointment. The cashier in front was very rude to me, my family, and my guests that were patronizing their business. Norwood didn't even come out and greet us. He stayed in the kitchen. This experience was heartbreaking. I trusted Baby Bear Biscuits with one of the most meaningful parts of my wedding day, and that trust was broken. I cannot recommend their services or food after this experience. read more

The food and prices were just okay, but the time it took to provide us this counter food was unacceptable. About half way through our 30-minute plus wait, we joked that maybe they had to go out fish the shrimp. By the time my meal arrived, my wife who had gotten her meal from an adjoining server was long finished and itching to leave. This was at an eating hour when they had no customers and there were several employees visible. The woman that took the order was very pleasant, but as English was probably her second language, she was difficult to understand. They have to do better if they want to stay in business. read more

I am giving two stars because the Banana Cake that I had on my first visit was absolutely STELLAR-- like so good I have been trying to recreate it. On my first visit I was so excited as I had heard so many amazing things! I ordered a biscuit breakfast sandwich as well as the slice of cake. The young girl at the front was totally lovely. My sandwich was fine and I'll be honest-- I don't think I am really a sandwich girl. I didn't think that it had a ton of flavor- maybe I didn't choose a good one it was basic like egg, bacon + cheese. It was missing like a KICK of something but again, I just am really not a breakfast person but THAT CAKE-- was TO DIE FOR. So, the next time I came in I looked for the cake but they did not have it but they had hand pies. I ordered what they said were Blueberry Cheesecake Hand Pies. I bit in to one in my car- not blueberry. It was like sweet potato or something and I have a slight allergy. I called immediately and asked. The girl on the phone told me THREE TIMES that they were blueberry cheesecake and I was like, "Listen, I bit into it and it is CLEARLY not blueberry!!" She then asked someone ,"the hand pies are blueberry cheesecake, right?" Then comes back and says.... "Oh those are Squash" My problem here is no apology. No offer for replacement. No offer for refund. I threw them away after one bite. $9.95 I believe? We just went in on Sunday again-- here I am to look for that damn banana cake. Again, none. So I see a coconut cake and order it. We then go over and order pizza and I go to take a bite of the cake- stale. My husband goes over and asks for a fresh piece. This piece was in the box on a shelf and there was a cake on the shelf down- maybe that one was fresher? She says they were made yesterday and going to be the same. I know cake, very well. Very, very well. I said to my husband, lets give them the benefit of the doubt maybe this cake is cold and needs to get to room temp-- we eat our AMAZING pizza from Palo Mesa, then go to take a bite of the cake-- its like fork breaking hard still. My husband wants to ask for a refund. I look over and watch the owner stick his finger in something, lick it, then reach over to a handwashing sink and instead of washing his hands he simply grabs a paper towel and wipes his finger. I promptly close the box, toss it in the trash and will NEVER go back here ever again, nor will I ever recommend this spot. Sanitation issues. Stale cake. Terrible customer service by not offering a replacement with THEIR mistake on those hand pies, that was too many strikes for me. I am sad however because THAT BANANA CAKE was real good. read more

Amazingly delicious southern comfort food made with local ingredients. There were so many things we wanted to try that we came back multiple times while we were in town. Chef Norwood is so kind and is always happy to talk with his customers! We loved the fried chicken! I also loved the fried okra and the pickled okra, although the pickled was my favorite. We also really enjoyed the Carolina burger, it was truly the best burger I've ever had! I also loved that they have 3 different gravy options, so if you're vegetarian or not, you can still enjoy the biscuits and gravy. Speaking of which, the biscuits are bomb! Super moist with a slight crisp on the bottom. Like no biscuit I've ever had before! And they have sweet or savory options. Do not sleep on this place if you're in SLO! Plus it's got great atmosphere with a kid area, outdoor and indoor seating, farm animals and gardens to explore nearby, and lots of other cool shops. read more
