First time visit to Black Bear Kitchen. I initially went for the baked potato, but unfortunately…read morethey were out for the day. So I made a pivot and got the street tacos. The tacos did not disappoint. The meat was seasoned and cooked nicely. The tacos were flavorful. My husband had the hamburger and he said that it was good. You can get two sides and a drink for an additional $6.50. Which makes it perfect for sharing. We picked potato salad and collard greens. The collards would be better if cooked with some smokey meat and pepper vinegar. We had excellent service from start to finish. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Two different rooms you can sit in. The only downside was the noise level. Between the volume of the music and the people playing connect four outside it was a little loud. I will keep Black Bear Kitchen on my list to visit again.

We stopped in for lunch today and shared because we weren't really that hungry…read more We got the KALENAS STREET TACOS. It was made with brisket, pickled onion, cotija cheese, cilantro for $10. It was good and had good flavor. The brisket actually tasted like roast beef instead of smoked brisket... We were just expecting more of a brisket taste instead. We both loved the other ingredients on the tacos and thought it was an excellent choice. We thought about eating outside but while I was sitting there waiting for my wife to come back out with our lunch I noticed the music coming from the Black Bear was competing with the Tap Room business outdoor seating area speakers as well. Both were loud and playing two different songs and different genres! Very annoying and not enjoyable for outside seating. At least be playing the same music! We decided to eat inside instead. Restaurant was clean.

My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a brioche bun with side baked beans. I ordered the potato salad side with my dish. The potato salad was great. Home made everything.

Did I mention the one order of Rib Tips is enough for two people with extra left. The pulled pork was enough for two. One side was included with each meal. Yum yum.

Wow. we were on…read moreour way down the highway and got hungry. We pulled into the butcher block and looked at the menu and with all the other good dishes butcher block had shrimp and grits. In addition to being my favorite dish, whenever I see shrimp and grits on the menu, I always sample it because each restaurant has an idea of what the very best shrimp and grits are. The butcher block southern style shrimp, and grits were quite a bit different than all of the other authentic, southern shrimp and grits. I tasted. delicious, terrific, wonderful with a little bit of spice and a little bit of buzz just the way I would make it if I knew how to make shrimp and grits. Joan had cranberry chicken salad. It tasted fresh homemade was an ample dish and served over a nice bed of lettuce salad. I actually got a taste of it and it was really good. I hope we can find a place again on our way home. That I say I enjoyed the shrimp and grits?

We were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and almost immediately after we were seated, we were greeted by her taking our beverage orders. I opted for the lobster grilled cheese with the kettle chips. The sandwiches were really big, but it was very delicious. The lobster is slightly chilled and they add Swiss and cheddar cheese to it. It was very tasty. The chips were good. I definitely could've done with less chips as it felt like they were overtaking the plate. My husband got the Texas wings. Which had the Texas dry rub with a honey glaze over them. Kind of gave you a spicy and sweet take. He said they were very tasty. Well seasoned and well cooked. He also got fries as his side and there is a dollar up charge for regular fries.

My friend's sandwich was inedible. The grilled chicken looked fine but tasted charred. It had such a burnt, smoky taste we couldn't stand it.
