The best po' boys I've ever had! Each sandwich is packed with the last of the brat beef. I’d drive 25 miles just to eat there. They deserve to have a gold medal displayed on the wall!

The service at Bear's is both friendly and efficient, with staff always ready to assist you with your order. They are attentive and courteous, making you feel welcome and comfortable throughout your visit. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting, offering a casual and laid-back vibe. Though it’s small and can become crowded during busy times, the wait is absolutely worth it. Bear's Restaurant is a favorite spot for anyone who loves po’boys and wants to enjoy a taste of New Orleans without having to drive to the Southshore. It’s one of the most popular eateries in downtown Covington, boasting a dedicated and satisfied customer base. You won't regret stopping by, and you'll likely find yourself wanting to return. I highly recommend trying the famous Roast Beef or Ferdie Po-Boy! You can thank me later!
