I was recently in the area for work, I would not return. Although the hostess was very friendly the food wasn't all that good. I had the chicken wings and hand cut fries. The fries we awesome the could've been a bit crispier but they were definitely fresh right out of the oil. The wings however were dry and tasted like they were pre fried but fried too long the second time. They were dry all the way through then drowned in barbecue sauce that wasn't really flavorful at all. I would have much preferred less sauce and a juicier wing. It was in a small town so not much to the ambiance. A basic tavern type of vibe. We went for lunch and barely anyone was there but I'm assuming it was better for dinner. Either way, I don't think I would be returning. read more

The Bear has been around forever. It is bar with good food. The service is spot on and the ambiance is well... a county bar that is named after a bear that was wounded. It what you think it is. read more

A fantastic evening...again and again! Heather (owner, hostess, server extraordinaire and all around fun human) made our 35 person evening an incredible and memorable night. From my initial call to greeting us at the door to serving our meals, Heather and her team made us feel welcome, special and they delivered EVERYTHING promised! Their menu offers a nice array of choices, and we've never had a bad meal. A must visit every time we're in Williamsport! read more

Went there for dinner on a Wednesday afternoon around 4pm. It wasn't really busy which is what we were hoping for since it was our first time there. We received service rather quickly and the ones who sat then served us were some very nice people. The food ordered came out in a great amount of time and was absolutely fabulous. I can actually say this the big bear burger captured my taste buds in a way that hasn't been seen in a good 10 or 15 years. My wife absolutely devoured her steak and the smile on her face this whole experience just made it so much more. The big serving of home cut fries, down to the big tossed salad, I really felt that my money was worth what I received. My wife has social problems and she absolutely felt so welcome and comfortable here, we have already claimed it to me our most favorite place for food in Williamsport. Thank you again for the great experience. read more

Absolutely amazing wings, & food ! Excellent staff one of my favorite places to go ! Best place around

Black streak was pretty dry but the Delmonico streak was pretty good. Service was good and place filled up quickly. I'd come back again

The spicy clam chowder was too spicy and they made an unpleasant fuss when asked to return it.

Service was amazing! Seat yourself! The ambiance is amazing a lot of good people but the bar is a little louder, so if you're just dining in sit away from the bar. The food was really good! I got a deluxe chicken cheesesteak and it was amazing. It does say comes with double meat and double cheese only but you can get it in the garden. The only problem was that we didn't see our server too much but she was very pleasant! read more

Just passing through and stopped here. Not knowing what we were walking in to. It's a car restaurant ordered "The Bear Burger" & my wife ordered "the grizzly bear prime rib sandwich" With onion rings. The food was excellent the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, the music in the restaurant seating area was comfortable and a little louder in the bar area. The staff was excellent, friendly and accommodating. Would definitely come back when passing through the area again and would probably go a little out of my way to eat there again. read more

The food here is really good and the staff is friendly. They are open all the time. I sort of has like a dive bar/ restaurant feel to it.

I love going to the Crippled Bear with my friends from Trout Run, PA. Great country type bar, super friendly staff, with great food. We always get fresh cut fries and corn nuggets. The small fry is literally at least 2 or 3 entire potatoes. Nice selection of micros, including one of my local favorites, Broken Heals from New Trail. Lunch was $20, but I had a beer. The regular Philly steak (onions, peppers, tomato sauce was large. They did mine as a chicken Philly. We were all pleasantly full and ready for a quiet afternoon. Love the winter/Christmas scarves on the deer heads! read more

the onion rings were good and the bathroom was clean but I feel nothing was fresh -canned sauce, store bought, day old bread -I just don't get it ??? I won't be back read more

We've only been one time, and we will definitely go again! We shared an order of wings, and they were very tasty. My husband thought they were crispier than he preferred, but I thought they were perfect. We each got a burger, and they were amazing! Super flavorful, generously portioned, and presented well. We opted for Brew City fries with a side of cheese, and they were served hot and crisp. I ordered a seasonal drink - I think it was an apple cider caramel cocktail, and it was like a dessert beverage. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the location was clean although it was a bit dark in a way that kind of gave it dive bar vibes. The only drawback I found was that the ladies restroom is single occupancy, and the door was like 18" from patrons seated at a table. It felt strange to be attending to business knowing there were people dining within a couple feet of me and through one door. read more

Everything about this place was great. From the friendly service, to the homey atmosphere to the delicious food, we found a real gem!

I'm from around Harrisburg and some guys from work took me to this place. Leslie was our server and she crushed it for us. Upbeat, happy, and great recommendations. She hustled hard even though it was obvious they were understaffed. I had a dozen wings since it was 75 cent wings that nighy. Half sweet chili which were amazing and half bear juice. You have to try the local sauce! It was delicious. Supposedly hot sauce mixed with brown sugar. Amazing. Prices were absolutely affordable and very reasonable based off portion size. read more

Year two of our softball team of 40 descending on the Crippled Bear did not disappoint! Heather took fabulous care of us and reserved the entire outside porch for our party. I didn't think our experience and food could be topped from my previous review, but Heather and her kitchen staff outdid themselves this year. Thank you a million times over; our families are already looking forward to next year. read more

Stopped by for dinner last night. We haven't been here in a long time, but the Crippled Bear did not cease to amaze! The service was EXCELLENT! They were extremely busy, but we were waited on immediately and the food came quickly. And the food? Delicious!!! With staff shortage everywhere right now, the Crippled Bear is thriving! Thank you for a great experience with fantastic food and super friendly service. read more

Best burgers around!! And awesome value!!! Black and blue burger was phenomenal!!! Very nice clean lunch spot!!

Love this atmosphere. Cabin in the woods feel. nice bar tenders. Asked a local for breakfast ideas. Great people here!

What a fantastic place! The food is incredible the service is impeccable and the staff is so very friendly. If you're driving through here do yourself a favor and stop it is absolutely wonderful read more

Called in for take out about a month ago and was put on hold for 15 minutes before my order was taken. Bartender was rude on the phone and when I got there I was met with the same attitude. Food took 45 mins which wasnt awful, but my mama bear roast beef was bland and my wives stomach was upset after she had the buffalo bites. Portions were also small for the price. Do not recommend this place at all and you would be better off supporting the Trail Inn up the street. read more

Very busy but sat promptly.. owner is very pleasant and out in the floor helping her staff on this busy evening. Food is wonderful and customer service is superb! I recommend the bear burger!! read more

Food was inexpensive and delicious. Service was good. It's simply a sandwich and appetizer joint just very well done.

Stayed in Williamsport for the night, found this place here on Yelp and were immediately intrigued by both the name and the other reviewer's pictures. This place did not disappoint! It was a Monday night and I was surprised how busy they were and it only got busier as the night went on. Between the $2 Captain and Coke (Pepsi really) drink special and funnel cakes on the appetizer menu, we were very happy with our decision. We would visit this place again if in the area and a lot of the locals seem to think the same! read more

Came in on a Saturday evening, was driving from Timbuktu to next to nowhere so I wasn't far from this place. Seriously I drove by a bear check in station so ... heard the wings were good and as advertised they were ! Also had a burger sans bun and salad trying to save my carbs for the adult beverages. The burger called a Hangover burger. The eggs bacon and cheese were great the burger was way over cooked. I also was underwhelmed with the draft beer selection. I guess yuengling and troegs are considered craft beers . They certainly are local. Definitely a Miller / Busch crowd at the bar. After getting the your not from here stink eye , the bar tender did ask me how was everything? I responded good except the burger . She immediately order me another at too was well done. Not dried up burnt like the first but definitely over cooked. That may be the hangover recipe. regardless this place has a great name , good wings and beer! So I will definitely be back next time I'm driving to east jabibip. read more

We had a hard time figuring out where the front door was and knowing they we were just to seat ourselves but after that the service and food were great. We had the gyro and the buffalo and blu. Very good. read more

Stopped 2 weeks ago with softball families. Party of about 14 including teenage girls. Great service, great food and a nice atmosphere to have burgers, wings, pizza and beer. There were a lot of choices on the menu if you prefer more of an entree, but we are simple "ball families". Indoor and outdoor seating. Very fair pricing. I willl stop again when in the area. read more

NEW FAVORITE PLACE! Amazing food: burgers, fries, wing, a full menu to choose and of course any drink you want.Great environment, everyone is friendly and helpful. Definitely come here but leave me a spot to sit! read more

Wow!! Followed Yelp reviews and couldn't be happier. What a wonderful place, kind staff, great food and quick service. Loved reading the history of this quaint place, especially the pictures of the real crippled bear. Will be back if we are ever in the area. Had fried banana peppers for an appetizer and cheesesteak and chicken cheesesteak on pretzel roll. So good!! Don't miss it!! read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch while driving back from New York on a Sunday. I enjoyed the mounted animals on the walls. There were plenty of seating available when my girlfriend and I arrived. I ordered a pulled pork BBQ sandwich, which came with pickles and a bag of potato chips. The waitress was polite when taking our order. It was a slow day, so service didn't take too long. I asked if there was dessert available, but I wasn't in the mood for a peanut butter pie. With the quick service, inexpensive meal, and clean restrooms, I'd recommend this venue to others traveling through PA. read more

Great food and service will miss the breakfast since it is being discontinued after next week. So sad. But still great for dinner and lunch read more
