    I had a meeting scheduled here but had an hour to fill beforehand - not enough time to go home but too long to waste, so I decided to head here early. It turned out to be a GREAT place to work. Inspiring, yet not distracting. Plus they have a cute holiday backdrop set up right now! Everything on the menu always looks good, but I'm committed to The Douglas, sub chicken etouffee and jalapeño jam. I never remember to take a picture before devouring it ‍ so you'll just have to trust me ‍

    Hope you have access to a treadmill and some blood thinners. Pretty hard to find anything healthy on this menu. They unapologetically serve up food thats calorie and fat content is enough to make Paula Dean blush. But sometimes that hits the spot, doesn't it? I got their eggs benedict which is served on one of their giant calorie-bomb biscuits. And it was yummy ! Lots of hollandaise sauce for dipping my side dish of loaded home fries which was in of itself a nightmare of carbs and cheese. But it was yummy too. I think it would be hard to a regular here due to the diet impact but it sure does taste good. So maybe once or twice a year is ok =) ok three times.

    2 tables, one server - that should tell you how this visit went once I sat and another group came in. Told the hostess, which is the server, that I know what to order for our party of 3. She hadn't taken the other tables' order yet. Oh, my. Then piece meal delivery, water, then coffee mugs, then coffee. Are today's servers afraid of a tray? I'm a former server, I understand. My guests arrived, but there was still no order taken. She finally took our order. It's been 30 min. The first table is just getting food. We only have waters. After an hour, we have food, trying to get carry boxes, and this poor woman has no help. Food was just OK. My guests enjoyed theirs, and I left most of mine. The Hoosier. A breaded tenderloin on a biscuit. The Douglas and a skillet were the others, and they ate everything. Biscuits were hard, but doughy as if not done. I don't feel the need to return.

    I couldn't go to Big Bear Biscuits without trying a biscuit. So I had to order something that came with a biscuit. The waitress told us that the biscuits are huge, and take 45 minutes to cook, which makes sense once you see them. I ordered a honey bear latte and the rise and shine breakfast sandwich. The presentation of the latte was a bit messy and not what I expected. The sandwich was good, I really liked the black pepper aioli sauce and the bacon was cooked perfectly! The service was not good, we were never served water. I was able to get some at the end of our meal. The check took a really long time to get. We were sitting outside, and I felt like we were forgotten about.

    I have been hearing a lot of great things about Big Bear Biscuit so I decided to try it for myself. The restaurant was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. Inside their was ample space for several tables without being too close to other Diners. The menu offered several enticing drink options and food options. My friend and I both ordered the Bjorn Latte and it was delicious! I ordered the Petting Zoo, which consisted of 2 open faced biscuits topped with roasted tomatoes, sweet jalapeño jam, crumbled goat cheese, poached egg, hollandaise sauce topped with Avocado. I was intrigued when I read the description and it was a delightful combination! The Grits were pretty good as well. My friend ordered the 3 Bears and this consisted of 3 biscuits with a different type of gravy on each one: mushroom, chicken, and sausage gravy. Yum, yum, and yum!! What a unique concept! The portions were huge and we Both brought home leftovers! Our service was wonderful as well. Our waitress brought our items in a timely manner and gave us the right amount of attention. We didn't have to ask for our check because she brought it along with to go containers before we even asked! I will be bringing more friends to this delightful experience.

    This location is much more open than the Brownsburg one. They also have a patio that should have been open. It was a 20 min wait so we opted for eating at the bar. The food took a really really long time. Considering the biscuits are precooked and gravy pre made as well as probably most of the breakfast meats, it just took way too long. They could turn tables much faster. The food. The bacon was fantastic. The scrambled eggs were, well scrambled eggs. The biscuit was much much better than Brownsburg ( theirs was hard and dry ) this was good. The sausage gravy ( I ate it because I was hungry ) but it wasn't great. Totally tasted like from a can or frozen. Husband's omelette was great size and filled with meat especially sausage. The fruit cup was good. He was happy it had a lot of pineapple. I don't think we would be in a hurry to come back, but I'd chose this location over the other.

    Food and ambiance not superlative. Service is definitely not very good and or quick. The waitress messed up One if the orders but it was dealt with quickly. The biscuits are fall apart and pretty flaky. The sausage gravy was good but not great. It took quite awhile just to get waited in after being seated promptly. Most of our party had sandwiches that fell apart and are Really fork food but also good. Also not sure what the honey pot add in is on the receipt.

    Omelet
    Steven R.

    We took my wife here for breakfast. With "biscuits" in the name, our expectations were high. Unfortunately, my biscuits and sausage gravy was not good. It should be called biscuits and sausage FLAVORED gravy. The biscuits were also very bland. I make much better biscuits and sausage gravy myself. On the other hand, my wife enjoyed her omelet, my younger daughter liked her breakfast sandwich, and my older daughter enjoyed her "Petting Zoo" biscuit. Service was average. This is an okay breakfast restaurant, but go elsewhere if you want good biscuits and gravy.

    The biscuits never disappoint. Every time I go in their biscuits and sandwiches are to die for. The black pepper aoli gives the sandwich the perfect texture. I will say that the service wasn't great. It wasn't the last time I went in either. Even though it wasn't that busy it was just slow. We were hoping to be in and out but it took much longer than expected. I will definitely return for the food, but I will always just be aware that it takes a while to dine in.

    We just went on a trip to the south and Big Bear's biscuits outdid any that we tried on the trip. I truly thought I just wasn't a biscuit girl until I tried these ones. They were huge, fluffy, airy, and flavorful. Warning if you go on the weekend: it will be packed and hectic in there... super loud (happy for them!). We went on a Saturday and after hearing that there was a long wait, ordered our food to-go and ate in the car. I got The Rise egg sandwich biscuit sandwich with a side of fruit. I tried my sister's fries (more like potato wedges and they were soooooo good - definitely try some. It was all delicious and I hope to be back soon.

    First time visiting Big Bear, and it was close to noon. It was the best brunch time if you asked me. Upon arrival, my guest and I were seated immediately. The service of the staff was very attentive to our needs, but I must say for it to not be as busy our waiter did disappear often and we found ourselves having to wave her down toward the end of our meal to get the check, and for small things like additional napkins, and more water. It's a decent size restaurant space with a lot of outdoor seating, but we opted to sit inside. They have plenty of seating with the option of a booth or tables, or even a combo. As far as the food we ordered, it was pretty good. We just didn't agree with the condiments. Not a fan of the bacon jam. The apple butter to go on those delicious fuffy Biscuits was runny. I've never seen apple butter of that texture. My guest wasn't a fan of the strawberry jam given. I think it was homemade, but not desirable to her taste. That sausage gravy was really good, and it was a perfect pairing with the omelette- eggs, bacon, andouille sausage, sautéed onions/peppers. I would definitely try that again. I wish the fruit was more fresh, but they gave a good portion size. Another gripe I have was about the campfire latte, it was so good, but the jumbo toasted marshmallow takes up the majority of the mug and takes away from the mocha of the latte. My suggestion would be to make the mug a little bigger to give the customer more coffee to enjoy.

    The Korean was the star of the show! So good!
    Bridget K.

    I'm obsessed!! This was one of the most flavor packed meals I've had in a long time! Seriously! When my friend and I arrived they told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We both thought it was more around 30 minutes. We were greeted promptly by our server and she helped us decide on biscuits. We decided on the Korean flavored, Buffalo chicken and a breakfast version with gravy and bacon. Both of us loved the Korean style biscuit the most. It was so delicious! The other two were wonderful as well. I honestly can't imagine making a wrong order here. Everything seems to have a great flavor profile. The owner also walked around at one point to check on everyone and that was really nice to see. Run (don't walk) to Big Bear Biscuits! Deliciousness is waiting for you!

    Went here for lunch with my pastor and was not disappointed!! We were greeted almost as soon as we walked in by a friendly hostess. After being seated our friendly waitress came over and greeted us and quickly brought us our beverages. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and he ordered a breakfast platter. Both were INCREDIBLE! The biscuits were big and fluffy and had awesome flavor. The sauces were flavorful and fresh. Service was great and the general manager even stopped by and said hello! Would highly recommend this place. We will be back!

You walk in already knowing -- whoever built this, built it with love. Arlene's delivered on that promise from the first bite. I started with the Shakshuka -- a beautiful, layered meeting of flavors that moved the way good food should: with intention. Each bite felt considered, balanced, like everyone in that kitchen genuinely cared. But then came the key lime pie. That texture? Smooth like a promise. Buttery in a way that makes you close your eyes and go somewhere else entirely. The crust held its ground with just the right density before giving way in the most satisfying ratio your teeth have ever experienced. And that mascarpone topping -- cool, pillowy, finished with flaky sea salt that hit like punctuation at the end of a very good sentence. It didn't just taste good. It tasted true.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

    I stopped by this fantastic spot in Fletcher Place for lunch and it was a total win! I loved that…read morethey offer two different experiences a great bar area and a beautiful full-service dining room. I opted for the dining room, and even though it was buzzing with a lunch crowd, it was the perfect level of energy without being noisy. The service was 10/10. My waiter was incredibly warm and took the time to explain the day's dishes in detail. I ordered the Brussels Sprouts and a drink, and both arrived in just a few minutes. The sprouts were perfectly prepared and very satisfying easily some of the best I've had. If you're looking for a high-quality lunch with excellent service and a great vibe, this is the place. I'm giving it a full rating and will definitely be back!

    Heading back home from Sturgis SD taking the I80 route, stopped in Indianapolis IN for a quick…read moredinner. Quick web search, Bluebeard popped up as one choice. Reviewed the menu seemed to be eclectic enough, off we go. The place had a decent size outdoor dinning area. Few of the tables were occupied. Table for one...indoor, outdoor was the question? Indoor. Although the weather was beautiful, indoors was my choice. Al fresco dining is not my first choice. I don't like to do battle over my meal with insects and other wild life. I deducted 1 star for red wine served at room temperature. How is it that, red wines are chilled (55F) on the west coast but served at 'room temperature' (72F, 82F...) on the east coast. Had two dishes, they were OK, service was ok Would I go back? Yes, if the red wine was chilled.

    Met up with two friends for brunch at Love Handle and it absolutely delivered. Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

    Stopped in here for brunch this past Sunday with my husband because we had been wanting to try it…read moreout for a while and had mixed feelings. We were greeted right away and looked over the menu a bit before ordering. My husband ordered the country breakfast with chicken (definitely the way to go) and I ordered the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon. We each got a cup for water and I ordered a coffee, excited because I saw ahead of going that it was self-serve (like at Cafe Patachou where I can get as many coffees as I like without having to wait for our server to come check on us first). However, the self serve coffee excitement was short-lived after seeing that they only offered half and half as creamer (I'm lactose intolerant) and the two coffee carafes were not labeled for what was inside (decaf? medium roast? you'll never know!) and then one was completely empty and never refilled during our visit. The water station also was not ever refilled during our visit, so we were not able to get refills after filling up our cups the first time. It took a couple of tries to find a table we could sit at because you seat yourself, but several had not been cleaned after other guests left and had food and drinks spilled on them. There were definitely enough staff members there to be able to clean them in between customers, so we weren't sure why they were left that way. We ended up sitting in the middle of the room towards the front, across from the clown art wall, which made for interesting conversation as we looked through everything. When the food came out I was impressed with the portions, but I had no flavor whatsoever to my cheesy jalepeno grits. The egg and bacon were good, but not enough to make it a good dish and I would not order it again. And I love savory breakfast and grits in general, so it was a real bummer. My husband's dish was worth the visit though. It was a huge portion size and we honestly would just split it if we came back and ordered it. It was so savory, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. One of the best breakfast dishes I have tried recently! I really debated between 3-4 stars for this, but my dish was a flop, the lack of cleanliness for the seating area, the lackluster self-serve coffee station, and not refilling the beverages ultimately scored a 3 star review for me. I would come back and try something else though, or split the country chicken breakfast because it was really good. Hopefully next time the beverages won't be empty!
