Bear Paw has a lot to offer, including: kayaking, lodging, gear and incredible food. It's in a stunning location, very near the Wolf River. We had a " pub style, plank pizza". It was loaded with fresh vegetables and meat with a medium thickness crust. A crunchy, yet tender crust, at that. I can't wait to go back. Eric, one of the owners and operations manager, was cook, bartender, server and entertainer. He does it all with a smile and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend you try this place. It's on a stretch of Hwy 55 that winds and dips and while it is fun to drive, is a puke factor "8" out of 10 when I'm driving with my cat. Yeah, I drive with my cat.

They initially turned us away…read morebut with further discussion and a few cocktails at the bar eventually made room to accommodate us. As with many cases this season they were very short staffed and trying to offer good service to those that had made reservations. Our server had several tables including one of 16 people. I can't believe how good the service ended up being with Karen our waitress. As a seasoned vet in this Industry she was on top of everything. Additionally the food was Breyer than I had hoped for. We all started with the salad bar which was clean and organized. They did end up running out of ranch dressing which was a disappointment but that was the only thing that fell short the entire evening. After the salads the four of us has the French onion soup which was better than most I've had. This was followed by our main course. Two of us has the 10 oz. Fillets, on had the 16oz ribeye and lastly one liver and onions. All the steaks were fabulous and the liver was also good from what I hear. There was no rushing, Karen our server timed out servings perfectly and the evening turned out spectacular. A big kudos to the Manager for getting us in. This will be a part of our rotation moving forward. Don't forget to make reservations!

We've been coming here for 14 years, but after our latest visit, we won't be back. A few years ago,…read morethe restaurant changed ownership. They remodeled the interior, and while some may like the update, we miss the old-school supper club atmosphere. The menu has also been cut down and is now pretty bare bones. The service was slow even though the restaurant wasn't busy. We waited over 30 minutes for our food, and they forgot our appetizer. The prices have increased, but the quality and value have definitely gone in the opposite direction. I always ordered the Pub Special and could never finish it because the portions were so generous. This time, the portion was noticeably smaller, the bun was soggy, the sandwich had no flavor, and the au jus was only lukewarm. To make matters worse, fries are now an extra charge. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. A place that was once one of our favorites has lost the atmosphere, quality, and value that kept us coming back for so many years. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

While I was disappointed in my drink from the bar, my meal made up for the drink. I'd definitely give it another shot when I return to the area. Before we went, we were advised of the bartender being particular (think the soup Nazi on Seinfeld). While I appreciated the act of muddling the old fashioned drinks, I didn't appreciate my order being incorrect. Not wanting to upset the apple cart, I drank my old fashioned (but didn't order a second). Our waitress was friendly and accommodating. She knew a couple people from our part and addressed them several times by name (nice touch). I ordered a ribeye with a side order of shrimp. The steak was cooked properly and was very tasty. The shrimp were also very good. My dining partner enjoyed their fried chicken dinner. We not only enjoyed the meals, we felt the price was reasonable. I probably let my experience at the bar affect me more than I should have; however, first impressions do make a difference.

Always was fine. Average bar. We liked it because it was on the water. This last time we stopped... we sat on the outside patio. We had our dog with and asked if he could sit on the patio. The female bartender said "of course". There was another couple and a family sitting outside who also had a dog. Our dog was laying next to me quietly and is extremely well behaved. Barely lifts his head. One of the workers, a 30-40 yr old man with dark hair, asked the other bartender "do you think I can make this bottle cap hit that dog"? I was sitting slightly turned from him and ignored him. I did not think he would actually do it. Well, he did. He began flicking bottle caps at my dog who was laying peacefully! After the third one I turned around and said "excuse me? What are you doing?" He said "I wasn't trying to hit him don't worry I'd never do that" and quick ran inside like scared sheep. Didn't show his face after that. I could not believe what had happened. I think this bar is fine and everyone who works there is nice BESIDES THAT GUY. What the he11 is wrong with him? How rude can you be ? Who does that ? What a weirdo.
