    Everything was so good.

    Had I known I would love the food, would have taken before pics.The gobbler sandwich. The Tomato bacon soup . Chili & grill cheeseBacon, egg and cheese sandwich on ciabatta bread was so good. Will come again.

    Great atmosphere!

    Outstanding! Passing through on the way to Vermont. Used Yelp to pick a breakfast spot. Luckily, the first place I picked was closed, even though their Yelp page said the were open. Hungry Bear was actually my second choice, but I'm glad it's where I ended up. It was an absolutely perfect breakfast! So many great choices on the easy to read menu. And coffee is included in your breakfast choice! Haven't seen that in years! The staff was super friendly, and very helpful. If I ever passing through this way again, I know where I'll be stopping for breakfast!

    This was a welcomed late-breakfast stop in Plattsburgh NY. Busy and a Spacious dinning environment brought us a really nice break from our drive with excellent service and a kitchen that knows how to make a memorable meal. Great coffee delicious food. What more are you looking for . We were very very happy to have found the Hungry Bear.

    You can find this place in Plattsburgh a bit out of the way - so glad we trusted the reviews and had lunch here. The service was like you don't get these days - even though we were not a local, they treat everyone as if they have known you for years. Get this - the food was so good. I had breakfast (serve all day) and my husband had lunch. We left feeling very satisfied to get back o the road to head south, wish we could visit more often.

    Chicken and waffles is two huge pieces of chicken, potatoes with onions on a waffle smothered with sausage gravy.

    I've discovered chicken and waffles and this is the best place so far. Two whole pieces of chicken wrapped in a belgian waffle and smothered in sausage gravy. Ask for the sausage gravy separately if you don't like it on the waffle.

    Wow. Incredible place to have breakfast! Pumpkin pancakes! Blueberry pancakes! Excellent! I had the hungry bear combo! Delicious as well! Everything was excellent!

    The service was great and our server was very friendly. Definitely a place with a lot of regulars who go there a lot. Which gives the ambiance of a home. Apart from the service, I got the pancakes with bacon and eggs and it was probably the best pancakes I've had. Definitely give this place a try.

    Clean and bright.

    Mind you I got referred to the place via my hotel I'm staying at right now & my case though unable…read moreto use it because it coincided with a dinner special but nevertheless I will confess overall it is pretty much worth it. Got promptly seated at a booth & service came & my server was knowledgeable and recommended what I would do (you're gonna see what I'm referring to) & in the process got me a little bit of a bargain especially with my particular meal decision & did a prime rib with salad/bread/soup bar included. Ambience is very interesting because it seems from the 1980's music video days for few tracks I heard (not exactly bad especially now MTV no longer does music videos-?) but majority of music I heard was decent anyway. Suggestion for crew on the salad bar inform people "plates are cold, be aware" & just so people know.

    As I was by myself, I chose to sit at the bar at lunchtime. A bartender was friendly and attentive,…read moreand gave a great service. It turned out to be some kind of happy hour lunchtime so it was buy one beer get one beer free. The burger and fries I ordered were prepared perfectly and delicious. The salad bar, although kind of small was very good as well and the turkey soup was delicious. In case I forgot to mention, or you didn't know, the soup and salad bar is included in the price of the meal. Overall, I would say this was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
