Not bad, not bad... the pizza was definitely above average and pretty damn good service. My coworker thought his Reuben Sandwich was good as well. I think I might have gotten food poisoning here tho, but can't confirm. If I'm ever back in Anchorage, I'll definitely stop by here again and give it another shot! One thumb up and a high five for Bear Paw. Happy eating, my foodies! read more

Very accommodating! We arrived 15 minutes before closing and we were super hungry from our flight. We wanted to grab a quick bite before calling it a night. To show our appreciation, we ordered the Grizzly pizza, ate a few slices, and packed the rest to go. The pizza was absolutely delicious! It came out hot and crispy. We're definitely planning to return and order more items, especially with more time to enjoy them. Thank you for your hospitality. The decor of the place was very cool. Love the Alaska vibe they put into the place. read more

Love the atmosphere! Intrigued by the wildlife. Just what I should see in Alaska. I was not a fan of the waiter. He was hard to understand and lacked personality. Doggone I didn't get his name. I had the Italian Baked Sub. Fabulous! I loved that it was pizza crust and not traditional bread. If I lived here this would be a regular place for me read more

We were excited to give this restaurant a try even though it had mix reviews. We ordered salmon and steak. Boy was it awful. The salmon was chewy and so was the steak. I couldn't even eat it. The baked potato was over done and the butter had red onions in it, it was awful all around. I was hungry and again, i just couldn't even eat it. After we were done, we literally walked over to Starbucks to get something else to get that taste out of our mouths. Sadly it was very disappointing . The service was okay. The guy was nice it's just the food was not good. Bummer, the name, menu and the deco were nice. read more

As an Alaskan local, I always drove by this place and assumed it was a tourist trap. However, I decided to give it a try for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. We tried 2 of their burgers and was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes. The burgers had full 1/2 pound patties along with additional meat, toppings, and a side for only $18. To put it in perspective, a lot of places in Alaska charge a lot more for a lot less. I wouldn't say the place is mind blowing or anything but the service was good, the building was cool and they had tons of sports on. Overall, I would have a hard time not recommending this place for a quick bite to eat, especially for lunch. read more

It's very difficult to address the restaurant. I believe the beautiful restaurant caters to a lot of tourists and the servers could be more genuine with their customers. From the servers to the expediters did not show sincerity or interaction with the patrons. I requested a full slab of rubs half dry and half wet. I was informed this isn't possible as only offered as an add on to a meal. The problem is simple, it could be resolved with 1/2 and 1/2 since there are people who order 1/2 a portion as an add on and leaves 1/2. The food was well prepared but the onion rings had too much batter (fried/oily) and took away the taste from the actual onion rings. The wet ribs were very good . The fish and chips (halibut) was good and the chicken pasta was satisfying. Strive to please the customer not only as a local but as a tourist. This starts with management to instill the change in hospitality to make the difference. I asked the manager about the 1/2 and 1/2 ribs and was stomped and was going to ask the chef. Always strive for perfection as your customer could be someone who makes or breaks the restaurant. read more

We haven't been here in a while and decided to give this place a go. The pretzel and cheese as an appetizer was SO good! I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use but it was delicious! We also had the meatloaf sandwich which is still really good. We ended up splitting this as a meal and it was plenty for two people. We subbed the fries for onion rings which I didn't care for. The onion rings have a fish taste to them, so I assume they're in the same fryer as the fish and chips. My only complaint is when you get the tablet to pay, the minimum tip is defaulted to 20% and the other options are 25% and 28%. I do believe the tipping culture is a little out of control. read more

We came to Bear Paw on a Sunday evening for dinner. The waitress had just been sat a few tables all at once so it took her a few minutes to get to us. That part we understood. The quality of the food was horrible though. My husband ordered salmon (in Alaska...it should have been cooked perfectly!) Unfortunately, it was overcooked and so dry he had a hard time choking it down. I had the pasta special and would say it was really bland. I put salt on it to give it some flavor and I NEVER salt my food! The wine was good! It came straight out of the bottle! read more

The food and service was great. Reindeer sausage jalapeños were amazing. Ordered the Carnivore Burger and that was good, too! Also ordered the Rueben sandwich and that was also great. Service was great,too. Lots of TVs playing sports! Would come back here again! read more

I ordered this steak medium for my wife and she's it's not even rare this is "blue" the manager should have never charged me for this. I had to buy a desert to Make it up to my wife and the manger made me pay for the desert too. I did get a discount on the steak half off. All I'm saying is they don't know how to make steak and I should either get the steak off my bill or the desert free. This steak is "blue" not even rare or med rare aka almost raw still mooing! read more

Okay this is long winded so I'll try to make it short First night I ordered a rib eye no ribeye Switched to New York strip no New York strip. Got salmon terrible piece of fish. Left nearly a negative review. Do not go to this place expecting steakhouse. Jalapeño popers are awesome and the bison burger was just as good. Expect sports bar food and you won't be disappointed. Multiple beers are good. After changing what I expected from the place very good experience . Now I know why the people that left high reviews just got bar food. I will return. Service is still lack luster but the ambiance is good friendly people good bar food . read more

We've eaten here enough times that I understand why their star reviews range from 1 to 5. They really are all over the map. Because it's literally around the corner from where I work and it's been a rough week and their drinks are ALWAYS amazing, we decided to take our chances. I'm so glad we did. It was a 5 star experience this time. The ambiance is the Alaskan vibe locals and tourists love. All the animals and Alaskan stuff that is warm and inviting. The restaurant was packed and we were seated and waited on right away. Our waitress, Cher, was the highlight. She's one of those people I will make a point of asking for in the future because she was so awesome. I got the Paloma and the bartender used a heavy hand. Wowser. It was next level. Our maple Brussel sprout app was AMAZING. My husband couldn't finish his humongous Carnivore burger. Nor could I finish my perfect chicken and Waffles. The hand dipped chicken was fried to perfection. We'll be and be sure to ask for Cher who works at the end of the week. read more

We are staying at the Hilton across the parking lot and coworkers had recommend to check this spot. We were starving and came over after checking into the hotel. We came in through the pickup door without realizing it. The staff in general were super friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was very patient and gave us suggestions with the menu. The reindeer sausage jalapeño poppers were AMAZING! All of the food was great! I liked the ribs better with the rub since the bbq sauce was ok. It had like a mustard flavour to it. The pizza was very tasty and the salmon had good flavour. The only thing about the salmon is that it was a bit too cooked for me. I typically like it a bit medium rare in the middle and not well done. The ambiance is unique with a cabin outdoors feel to it. They have plenty of beers on tap. We will probably be back before we leave. read more

I travel to Anchorage from Denver pretty often, and Bear Paw is one of my absolute go-to spots. I've tried a bunch of things on the menu (the meatloaf is killer!), but I especially love that I can count on them for something lighter when I need it. I honestly order the grilled chicken breast almost every night I'm in town -- it's simple, healthy, and always hits the spot. I usually mix up the sides, but it's just so nice knowing I can get a solid meal with veggies and a salad, especially after a not-so-healthy lunch out. The staff is also always warm and welcoming. So glad this place is close to my hotel! read more

'Ello chaps, Bear Paw Bar & Grill is a quaint Americana restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska. The menu boasts the typical fare of burgers, wings, food & chips, and the like. It was a long wait to get seated; not because of any crowd, but because there wasn't a host around. Once we did get seated, things were great. The server was very friendly and chatty, gave great insight for tourists. We ordered up the fried pickles (delicious) and some burgers. Cooked perfectly, well seasoned, just all in and all well done. Overall I'm giving Bear Paw Bar & Grill the rare 5 Stars out of 5. read more

Sports | Take-Out | Entrees Sports - This is the ideal location to watch a sporting event. There are tons of TVs above the bar and along each wall. Additionally, there is a four-panel mega TV that is about 8 feet tall by 8 feet wide. We came to watch the NCAA men's national championship game, and it was pretty ideal. Take-Out - They are an amazing spot for takeout. Their process is pretty seamless. Their online platform makes it easy to select an item, make alterations, and order with discount codes if you possess them. Additionally, they will text you immediately to confirm your order and give you a 5-minute window for when your order will be ready. They then text you when your order is ready. Entrees - I have had their grilled chicken, Atlantic salmon, wings, and pesto chicken sandwich. All four meals have been delicious, and I highly recommend them. All items are some of the best "price to entree" ratio in the city. The value is great when it comes to sit-down restaurants and elevated bar food. Pro Tip: They have tons of parking. So, no need to add time to the commute. Pro Tip: They are military-friendly and ask for a discount. Pro tip: Their Paloma is AMAZING!! It is the best drink I have had in the city over the course of my 4 weeks in Anchorage. read more

I took recommendations from DoorDash reviews. We ordered a cheeseburger, club sandwich, and corn fritters. Both came w/fries, subbed onion rings w/the club. The onion rings had a batter that was amazing but made me wonder if they dropped fish in the same fryer. The fries were crispy outside, soft inside and both were excellent as sides. The cheeb was delicious. I like mine a little less done but it was great quality beef and well seasoned. It needed the lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle to keep it from seeming dry but that is personal preference. I think it can stand alone and shine. The club was awesome. Well built. Real turkey breast and bacon which is appreciated. Great balance of ingredients that makes a classic club. The prices were competitive, better even, with similar items available from other local restaurants using fresh ingredients. The corn fritters I left to review last. They were yummy. 8 little balls for $14. Sorry if I'm remembering the Sourdough Mining Company's fritters, but that's a great litmus test! These could be larger and use a few more pieces of corn. I understand the balance of dough/corn has to keep them cohesive for frying and eating. It's a low cost item. Make them worth $14. The cinnamon and honey butter provided to dip them in was so good. I'd definitely order again. Their menu looks fabulous and I suspect the care/quality I experienced is the same across the board. I look forward to trying other items. read more

Service was outstanding. We went in after 3pm and there were a dozen tables occupied and a dozen folks at the bar. The ambiance goes with stereotypical Alaska wilderness motif. Very friendly staff, Heather was our waitress and we highly recommend her attention and social interaction. The food was great tasting, hot, fresh cooked and quickly served. The menu is extensive and should appeal to many tastes. We saw folks enjoying their pizzas as well as their pasta dishes. Our drinks were cold and refreshing. Our meals consisted of: -pickle chip appetizer (7/10), not a fan of their chipotle dip, I'd prefer a horseradish dip for it. - Ruben sandwich (6.5/10) with onion rings (8/10) the sandwich needed more dressing and we requested and received a cup after trying and that did the trick. The rings were large and perfect with great flavor. - blue cheese stuffed burger (8/10) with house fries (8/10) with the burger having a great balance of wing sauce and blue cheese flavoring. The fries can stand alone with their awesome seasoning and crispnwss! We definitely recommend this place if you're anywhere near here! The local drink specials and samples are also perfect pairings read more

The search for a good Reuben continues. Staff was nice and prompt. Area was clean. If you want a mid tier bland basic somewhat Reuben, come here. A recipe is a nice blend of flavors, but this sandwich (using the term loosely) was bland, too much meat, not enough sauerkraut and the bread was under-cooked. Sauce was non-existent. I think I saw Swiss cheese, but that didn't help. It was basically a bolt of meat on soggy bread. Def prepackaged meat, for sure. read more

Just went here for lunch and it was amazing! for a 5$ alfredo i expected a plastic cup with too-creamy mac and cheese. instead, the alfredo was served in a nice dish with a beautiful garnish on top. and those flavors were amazing!! forget about a plastic cup of soggy fruit, you get another ceramic dish of freshly cut stertbweries, pineapples, and blueberries. AMAZING! the servers were so sweet and even brought us our food to our car that we had forgotten. the interior was nice and relaxing, my family loved seeing all the bears around. the only flaw was that you were only given three crayons for the kids menu which was disappointing, but the coloring page was amazing! read more
