For the foreseeable future, they are closed from 3-5PM to replenish and restock due to their recent social media fame! We got here at almost 4 and Peter came out to chat with us about their 3-5PM break. Apparently they have been around for about a year but recent viral social media posts got them a lot more attention. We decided to wait in the car as we were wanting to try their baked potatoes. The Balboa was out of stock when we got there, thankfully that wasn't something we wanted but I remember seeing in the social posts as a recommendation. I decided to go with lobster "Nantucket" and the hubby went with the "Big Bear". We each got a side, mac and cheese for me and pork green chili for him. The restaurant was clean, the service was amazing. The food oh so tasty, who knew 1lb of russet could be so creamy. The Nantucket comes w 4 oz of lobster meat and the big bear was filled with brisket and bacon. Definitely understand the hype but then again, I don't know anyone who doesn't like a good old baked potato. Note the shortened hours before showing up and if you want to have options come when they first open. read more

3.5 stars. The Mac and cheese is a must get! The big bear brisket potato was good but ate through the toppings pretty quick and left with a lot of plain baked potato afterwards. I'd probably order a side of butter or sour cream next time for the rest! The soda machine was out of all options except 3 so that was unfortunate as well. read more

Took my dad here for his birthday. He loves baked potatoes, so this was a special treat for him. First time for all of us here. The place is small and has decent amount of seating. They also do have patio seating. Natalie provided excellent service and kindness. She helped us on how to order and their menu. My dad got the lobster baked potato and loaded it. I also got the lobster potato, but stuck to more on the plain side. My mom got the pulled pork and loaded her potato too. We all got the combo meal and all got Mac n cheese sides. FYI, the baked potatoes are pretty hearty. Their lemonades are delicious. The baked potatoes were very hot, soft, and fresh. Mac n cheese was good. Everything tasted so savory. The cookies were a perfect little touch of subtle lemon and sweetness. We all loved the place and look forward to coming back and trying other potatoes. I have not been to a place like this. read more

Wow! Heard about this place on IG. My daughter, SIL, and I went today - along with EVERYONE else! I was the 2nd person to enter when they opened. My party wasn't their yet, so I bought a Pepsi. When I turned around, there was a line out the door!!! And then the wait began. Apparently everyone saw something on social media and showed up! Ok. Good location. Very creative menu. Service is at the counter and very friendly. We highly recommend the Irish Pot Roast and the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch, but not a huge fan of the Philly Cheese Steak. Worth a visit, for sure. read more

Foods awesome! Definitely recommend! customer service is great. Very clean. Very enjoyable. Outside seating available too

Amazing!!! So many choices! I had the C.B.R and my husband had the Ralphie. So delicious. They also offer a make your own option if the many wonderful offerings on the menu do not suit your fancy. The staff were so friendly. The mac and cheese and baked beans were out of this world, I wish it did not end or we lived closer. Such a unique concept. read more

I wish I could give negative stars, absolutely disgusted, $16 for a pitiful baked potato.terrible customer service as well the guy at the counter just stared at my wife and I without saying a word. I finally had to greet him and say " how's it going? " He answered with a " I've been better" .... absolutely pathetic welcome....and customer service skills. First time in and definitely will be the last time. If I feel like I'm bothering you to do your job, get a new job!! $60 for 4 stupid average size baked potatos. I will never go there again and advise anyone to not waste their time or money on this joke of a restaurant. read more

Visiting from Dallas, TX with my family for a wedding, we were craving a loaded spud and came across this local spot that serves an awesome variety of potatoes. The workers were friendly and professional, and we even got the chance to meet the owner during our visit. He was a super chill guy with a ton of knowledge about spuds, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great loaded spud, this is definitely the place to visit. I'll be sharing this local gem with my buddies who live in Colorado. Great find! Make sure to visit them on Thanksgiving for a pleasant surprise read more

Arrived at big bear potato, nice small establishment very clean and nice little decor. Went with my grandchildren and my son and we each ordered our potatoes. My grandson and my son ordered the Lobster Maine my older grandson or the Ralphie and I ordered the great divide. My son also ordered the big bear to go. Man, the potatoes were big, but the ingredients that was on top of each one was awesome. It was very fulfilling. I could only eat one, but you also got a side order of macaroni and cheese, which was really good. So I would recommend going there. It might be a long drive, but it's worth it. If we get a chance, I know we'll go back. Hopefully they'll get other locations closer into town because we came from Aurora. and I can't forget the owner came to the table held conversation. He was very polite great customer service and we even got some honey suckers that was made from real honey. read more

What an unusual concept. I read an article in The N. Y. Times about jacket potatoes commonly served in England for lunch, stuffed with various fillings. I happened to be in Longmont Colorado and heard there was a potato restaurant there- Big Bear Baked Potato. Reading the reviews on Yelp, it went from many 5 stars and many 1 star. The low ratings were because they often run out of potatoes! How can they allow that to happen? Potatoes have a long shelf life & don't need to be refrigerated. So out of curiosity we phoned in an order and when we got there they said they had run out of potatoes! But since we had called in the order ours were already prepared and waiting for us. The potatoes were beyond delicious! Huge and each one was enough for 2 meals. Stock enough potatoes and open up more locations. I also had a few of their pistachio cookies and they were unual and addictive. read more

Love this place....... when they're randomly open, that is. This business is so inconsistent with hours of operation and they give the lamest reason for no longer having a landline for customers to call into. In the past, I've had to call to make sure they're open because I've wasted my time driving over to find them closed during their regular business hours, just like I did yesterday. Tired of wasting my time, I'll just make my own baked potato at home. read more

I have driven here twice and both times they have been sold out. Great advertising on social media... if you can actually get a potato.

Girls trip to Estes Park and stopped for lunch on the way. Potatoes were great with patio dining as well!

Amazing owner who is always making sure you are pleased with your meal. The food is so unique and delicious!

I really like the location since there isn't a lot of stuff on that side of town. Staff was very friendly and of course the baked potato was delicious. Will definitely come back again. read more

Been dying to try this place since I drove by it a couple weeks ago. I was not disappointed! Such a cute location, great ambiance. The owner was super cool and very helpful. I had the Big Bear potato and it was DELICIOUSSSS. The Mac and cheese was on point too. I will be a frequent flyer from here on out, and will also be recommending to all my friends! If you're thinking about eating here, DO IT! read more

Now, I hate to call out small businesses... but today I have to complain, publicly. First world problems, I know. I drove an hour up to to Big Bear Baked Potatoes in Longmont. We came at lunch time, 1230ish. The place was packed (so it must be good.) Waited 25 minutes in line to be told they're out of Potatoes. Really? They said they'd have more in an hour. So, I chalked it up to bad timing. We explore around Longmont for two hours, just to give them enough time to make more. We go back in, watching people come out with food, and get up to the counter to be told that they are again, out of Potatoes. Now the whole premis of your restaurant is...Baked Potatoes. It's in their name..... read more

So glad I visited based on a friend's recommendation! Menu is great with some good choices all centered around the perfectly baked potato. Only issue was that the menu screens were acting up so it was hard to read. Glad they had other menus to look at, but was still hard to make a quick decision. Seating area is ok I feel like it could fill up fast. The food was good and filling for sure. I will return next time I'm in the area! read more

The place is clean and well kept. The food is very good. I had the pork green chili called potato and it was delicious. My friend had the brisket and she enjoyed it very much. The combo meal with a side and drink will run about 18.00. I thought it was a good meal and value read more

A few friends have ranted and raved about this amazing new restaurant in Longmont so we made the drive up from the Springs. IT WAS WORTH THE LONG DRIVE! The moment you walk inside you're greeted with a cheery holiday atmosphere and mouth watering aroma of food. EVERY single item ordered in my party was scrumptious and filling. The Great Divide had easily the best pork green chile I have ever had and that's out of Hundreds. The portions are perfect just enough to fill you up and still leave a snack as a left over. The service was great. Very thorough explanations to any questions we had about the menu. The sides were all great too but the baked cookies were French Bakery level of taste and quality. I can't wait to come back and try even more items on their menu. The place was very clean and you could tell all of the ingredients were fresh and the potato was cooked to serve. I honestly felt it was underpriced which in today's economy was a true blessing. Thank you Big Bear Baked Potatoes for making a 2 hour drive to your location worth every second and more! Also seeing these other reviews with one star because they ran out of food is comical. Any fellow big back would know if they're selling out it's not because the food is bad. May want to wait in line earlier to avoid missing out on a culinary experience that's so good it keeps selling out. read more

Super good food and staff, but they're never open. I've tried stopping by several days the past two weeks cause my mom loves the place, I drive 40 minutes to get here just for them to be closed. They turned off their phone number too cause of spam? If you're gonna have a restaurant that you never want to open, maybe at least post somewhere about it or let us call and ask. Total waste of time and disappointment every time! They also seem to run out of things a lot, so be prepared to not get what you'd expect. read more

Went to lunch here for the first time yesterday. I'm allergic to onions and garlic. The owner worked with me to find a meal I could eat. I got a potato (HUGE) with Philly steak and provolone cheese sauce, a fab side salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, butter lettuce and balsamic vinaigrette, and a peach tea lemonade blend that the owner recommended (YUMMY). The potato was so big I could only eat half and had the rest for dinner. Will definitely be back! read more

Came from out of town and was told about this restaurant by our family. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the owner was very nice.

This place serves tiny shriveled overcooked potatoes from a guy with tiny little shriveled.... I do not recommend due to the lack of human decency shown in the "food" and it tasting exactly like the owners hatred of C.K. Also, there isn't enough room in the business to fit any tiny potatoes, intelligence, or Ed's ego. read more

It was great to have found this new place. The atmosphere is clean and cozy. I had the Big Bear. The presentation was top notch and the Bear tooth pick is a neat touch. My meal was delicious, and didn't miss the sour cream. You can taste the home made elements. Edward the owner, came out and checked on all of the guests including myself. He's a great guy!

Arriving over an hour before close to find out they were out of potatoes. The counter staff was polite and apologetic and it certainly was not their fault.

Absolutely fabulous and delicious. There is such a great variety of stuffings to choose from. So yummy. I highly recommend this place.

Food was great, service was also outstanding, will return. A nice change in Longmont . Give this place a try.
