My personal favorites are the Burgermeister (with cheese and bacon) and topped with fried onions, the mini corndogs and the mini tacos. Meister's has been a Stillwater constant since 1948, and while other locations have been opened by other family members over the years, there is only one original. This place is cash only and has eclectic/kitschy German decor throughout that makes you feel like you're stepping into a time warp. I will say the bathrooms are pretty small so be prepared!

It was absolutely worth the trip. Before the food arrived, I had the chance to chat with the owner, who shared that much of the lumber in the restaurant came from his family's farm. That small conversation told me a lot about the place. It feels authentic, welcoming, and built with care. As someone who loves BBQ, I know competition BBQ and restaurant BBQ are very different. The owner comes from a competition background, and he has clearly mastered the restaurant side. I ordered the turkey melt because turkey is one of the best tests of a smoker. No sauce needed. The smoke was spot on, the avocado balanced it perfectly, and my wife's brisket sandwich was excellent. The surprise star of the meal was the green beans. At a BBQ restaurant, that's not something I expected to say, but our entire group loved them and we're still talking about them. The seating was great for our large group, the prices were fair, and the atmosphere was lively. Most impressive of all, the servers were fantastic from start to finish. Every person in our group enjoyed every bite. We came because of the bacon basket. We'll be back because of everything else.

It was pretty loud indoors due to it being packed, so we kind of wished we could have grabbed a table outside; their patio area was adorable! Our server Karey was a superstar: friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable regarding the menu options. My mom said her eggs Benedict was the best she's had in quite some time. My sausage scrambler was loaded with sausage, mushrooms, peppers, cheese and green onions and it was very filling. My only gripe was when I looked at the receipt after we left and saw it cost $7.90 for two cups of coffee. And the coffee wasn't even in the realm of good, so they either need to up their coffee game or lower the price.

I'll start with the positives - the ambiance is excellent and they have a great patio. Our server Simone was friendly and witty and really made our table feel welcomed. What could be better was the quality of some of the food in addition to the amount of time we waited for our food to arrive. After our orders were placed, it took about an hour to receive our food, and the table definitely didn't eat together. Even the appetizers took about 40 minutes to arrive at the table. I thought for what you get, it was insanely pricey. I have never paid close to $20 for a wing appetizer to get an odd number of 5 wings. That's insane. My friend and I planned on splitting that and the patty melt. We are huge patty melt lovers, but this one was bland and nothing good to report. The table did enjoy the shrimp dish. I will admit the bruschetta was darn good, but I wish there was more positives to report with the food. We all stated that we wouldn't pick this place again, but if someone wanted to eat here and suggested it, we would come back, but we would all want to try different things (minus the bruschetta and shrimp dish).

The food is good. But the owner needs to read the executive order before he tells people they need to wear a mask. Several conditions allow for exemptions. It is against the law to deny service to those with disabilities. Several companies are posting exceptions to the mask mandate for those who meet the exemption. He's clearly concerned he will be audited by the health department but he should be concerned about violating the ADA. read more

We got our steaks and they were raw. No seasoning what so ever. They were even cold in the middle. The baked potato was not cooked all the way. And instead of the green beans they give you brussell sprouts, baked with no seasoning. A little maple syrup would really brighten those up. It was horrible. I know they have new owners and cooks, but WOW.....it was bad. I know none of us will be back again, which is to bad, because we used to love it there.

Just for the price we paid for what we had, I would maybe make other choices. We split some sliders and garlic fries and that came to $30. For thay, we should have just gotten a regular burger and cut it in half. I'm so sad to see how much this place has changed from years gone by.

We were definitely pleasantly surprised to see that the 1/2 lb burgers were $3 every Wednesday. It was filling and cooked well. The bun was warm. Note, that with that special everything is extra, lettuce , cheese , chips , etc And the veggie burger was not part of the Special. Which by the way was not an impossible burger but a vegetable patty with mushrooms and onions in the patty for extra flavor. It was good! That came with all the fixings and the standard kettle chips side. Brian's definitely has the casual bar and hangout atmosphere. I really enjoyed it during lunch on a weekday, when it was more quiet. Condiments and silverware/napkins were already part of the table, no need to ask for extra. Good deal if you are in the area on a Wednesday!

It wasn't all that busy, roughly three staff members in and out behind the bar inclusive of an employee who was working on a sangria mix? Pre made cocktail mix?

It wasn't just myself and guest who experienced the slow service, there was another group at the end of the bar that had to ask multiple times for their tab to multiple employees. On to the food: -I went with the Royale Smash Burger, which was quite tasty and honestly, the seasoning of the burger and the cheese stood so strong on their own I wish I didn't have the tomato and pickles in hindsight. Really great burger! -the side fries were solid and seasoned perfectly! -the onion rings we split was surprisingly the opposite. No real taste to the batter, came out not super hot, and really soggy. The exact opposite of the side fries and honestly, wish we'd skipped on them. Overall, the service kind of killed the experience, the burger was solid, and I'd skip the onion rings. There's some decent spots in Stillwater and this place always seems super busy this was the first chance I had to stop in and... not sure with the other options I'd jump to go back. Perhaps it was just an off service/off afternoon?

Good, but inconsistent…read more We went to Beartown Bar & Grill for the first time last week, and it was so good that we returned 3 days later. We ordered the same things on both visits. We had the signature burger with fries and a side of ranch, and the chicken and ribs with a salad. On our first visit, we were seated promptly. The burger was fresh and the fries were super hot and tasty; the ranch tasted homemade. The chicken was amazing, the ribs had a delicious sauce that was smoky and not too sweet, and the side salad was big enough that we were able to actually split it between us. The waitress was attentive without being annoying and she brought us 3 wet wipes and an extra plate to put the discarded rib bones on. However, just 3 days later, we had an entirely different experience. We stood at the door for easily 10 minutes before being seated. The waitress forgot to bring the ranch dressing we asked for when we ordered. The fries were cold-ish and stale; the burger didn't taste seasoned. The side salad had a rotten slice of cucumber and we only got 1 side of dressing when we got 2 sides of dressing previously. The salad wasn't large enough to share this time. The pieces of chicken were smaller and although the ribs were still good, this time we had to ask for wet wipes (we were given 2 instead of 3 like last time) and a plate for the rib bones. It was pretty disappointing... if our first experience at Beartown had been like our second visit, we wouldn't have gone back.
