Menu

A complete overview of all 125 meals and beverages can be found here on the menu of Bear Wallow Cafe from Alpine.

Nestled in Alpine, this small‑town mountain café serves hearty breakfast and lunch staples—locally sourced plates, burgers, chicken‑fried steak and pie—alongside quick, friendly service and clean restrooms. Generous working‑man and senior portions, kids’ options and souvenir mugs make it a practical stop for tourists, riders and families. A no‑cellphone policy preserves a cozy vibe for some, but bold political signage creates a polarizing atmosphere. Food consistency varies: standout comfort dishes are balanced by reports of undercooked sides, burnt edges and the absence of real maple syrup and butter.

Was Margaret Lewis at Bear Wallow Cafe a mag?
I stopped for breakfast on September 11, 2023, and I really enjoyed it. The decor is appealing, and I appreciate the conservative philosophy they promote, including support for the Second Amendment and anti-tyranny sentiments. I loved that there were no cell phone conversations allowed in the dining area—what a refreshing change! While this atmosphere may not suit everyone, it definitely gets my endorsement! Our serv...

What Mark Beadles dislikes about Bear Wallow Cafe:
We just attempted to have breakfast at Bear Wallow and were disappointed by the service. The restaurant was only half full, yet our waitress passed by us three times, claiming she would be with us shortly. Instead, she disappeared into the back with a cup of coffee and took a break. She then proceeded to serve other customers who arrived after us. Throughout this time, she kept walking past us and reassuring us that... View all feedback.

The perfect small town Cafe open for Breakfast and Lunch! Great variate of locally sourced food made into all your Cafe favorites. Working man and senior sized breakfasts avalable. We'll come here every time we are in Alpine. Fresh food is better then the reheated or frozen food some other places sell.... Enjoy!

This is a great little mountain town cafe! We drove in there from Three forks to get breakfast and everything was great. They atmosphere is definitely my kind of place and the gal's working there were fantastic. Pretty much exactly what you want out of a mountain cafe. Only knock is that they don't have real maple syrup or real butter. That's so hard to find at restaurants nowadays, but you would think a small mountain town would have that. Either way, fantastic place, highly recommend.

I remember fondly coming here as a kid, unfortunately now it seems this place is another casualty of the hateful vitriol spewing from one specific person and their ilk. Vote for who you want but it's so weird how this becomes a person's whole personality and gets to off-putting extremes. The uncomfortable atmosphere would be hard to overlook even if the food was absolutely stellar, but it's not, it's barely Denny's quality at best. The scrambled eggs were meh, the biscuits were burnt on the edges with bland gravy and the hash browns were undercooked.
