This place has the best smoked flavor on their meats around. The brown gravy is SO good I could literally drink it! The bear bowl is delicious and if you ever see elote topped with brisket you better get you some! This place is family owned and operated, so eat local. They are only open for lunch so make sure to check them out on Saturday if you can't get by during the week. My family & I love to order the brisket & pulled pork by the pound 😁

...it's obvious they care about what they do.I got the Bearclaw with hashbrown casserole.First up - The hashbrown casserole reminds me of that really tasty side that's the first one gone at a family reunion. Rich, buttery, cheesy, delicious.My sandwich was balanced and really satisfying. You can tell the brisket and pulled pork are trimmed well and cooked with precision. Moist, savory meat... without any unrendered fat that typically takes away from even the best bbq bites. The hot link brought the spice. The bbq sauce added tang and sweetness. I can't explain how but the gravy helps tie it all together.Beyond the food... the preparation is fast. The service is kind. The decorations add character. And the bbq pit smells delicious with the smoke rolling right by the ordering window.If you've read this far you either own Bear's or plan on going now. Enjoy. I'll be back.

I accidentally found Bear's Smokin' BBQ. I am so glad I did. What a wonderful eatery. It's a food truck park, and Bear's is one of them. The owner was friendly, professional, and the food came quickly. I really loved the Mac and Cheese and the cake was so good, I wish I ordered two slices.
