The Bear's Den Steakhouse

I was visiting from out of town and this place came highly recommended. On Friday we visited and we were seated right away (which was surprising to me since we arrived about 6 PM). Our party size was only 2 of us, so that might have contributed to us being seated so quickly. We had the Chicken Popper Egg Rolls and they were very good! We each ordered burgers as our meals (my fishing partner ordered the Diablo burger and I had the Double Bacon Burger). The burgers were so BIG,we both did not finish them. We both enjoyed it so much, we returned on Saturday night too..... We arrived about the same time, but we were told it would be about a 1 hour wait. No problem and we were actually seated before the hour. Saturday night we had the Pizza Dip appetizer, which was VERY good! My fishing buddy, liked his Diablo Burger so much he decided to order the same thing tonight, but substitute chicken (instead of beef). I had the Roast Beef Dinner and it was very tasty. Both meals were very reasonably priced with the amount of food we received! Service was better on Friday night, but very acceptable with as busy as they were on both nights. If I am back in the area, I will visit again!!!

Went around 2:00pm. No mashed potatoes. I find it frustrating especially if you serve food that basically goes with mashed potatoes. No bread/rolls with lunch menu. Once again why???? You serve home style food that just goes hand in hand. Our first time there. Staff quite pleasant. Food was good for what we had.

As soon as we reached the stop sign to turn on the road right by the restaurant, we smelled an extremely unpleasant sulphur odor. We had to park pretty far from the restaurant (not an issue I usually park far anyway), and right by where we parked there was what appeared to be a leech bed, which was the source of the smell. They were extremely busy, but they provided us the option to eat at the inside or outside bar, or wait an hour to be seated in the restaurant. We chose to eat outside, and the sulfur smell was not as strong on the bar patio. We were able to sit at a table right away outside (the front staff did warn us it is first come first serve outside). Our server was really great, kind, courteous, and attentive. I ordered the Strawberry Mule, it was pretty good, but I think I caught a faint taste of well water, which I don't really mind, but someone who wasn't raised on well water may not know why it tastes that way. I ordered two of them, so I did like them. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and cheese curd appetizers, the mushrooms were how you would expect them to taste. The cheese curds were fantastic, I LOVED the batter. I ordered the ribeye, which is $38, medium rare. I received a New York strip, which is $34, and it was cooked medium well. I didn't complain because they were extremely busy, and the entre took a while to come out. It also tasted really good and wasnt dried out. I ordered asparagus (1.50 additional charge), which were very basic. My husband asked for some extra greek salad dressing, and I dipped the asparagus in those. I would not pay an additional amount for those again. The sweet potato fries I ordered were from a bag, and came with straight maple syrup as a dip (nothing spectacular). I gave a 3 out of 5 because with how much everything costs, the food should be on point, and it wasn't. We did enjoy the live singer and our server.

We think that “Den Burger” might have been the best burger we have ever eaten! WOW! Thank you

Fun atmosphere, food was great. Steak fried mushrooms were phenomenal. The scallops and shrip were a little different for my taste but still a good choice. The desert.. big and enough for 4. Loved the entertainment on the patio while we waited to be seated inside.
