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!

Awesome roast beef Poboy. Four of us tried different sandwiches and loved them all. This is the store in Metairie. Service was great. We didn't have issues parking, but I could see it being an issue during busy times as there is limited street parking so you would have to park under the overpass.

We were looking for a good New Orleans roast beef (debris) poboy without going into NOLA. Bear's roast beef is delicious and met all my expectations.

I have loved Bear's since the early 90s and will probably continue to love it until the day I die. I started going to Bear's with my dad when he worked just down the street at Habitat for Humanity. I use to hate going to the office with him (because there is only so much playing in the ReStore a 7 year old can do) but I would always go in hopes that we would go to Bear's for lunch. Back then I'd get a Roast Beef Poboy on a bun and an Abita Root Beer. That thing was sooo juicy it would fall apart in my tiny hands unless I ate it like I was spooning water into my mouth from a stream. Now, 30 years later, I don't live near Bear's but anytime I am within an hours driving distance I make the trip to get a Roast Beef Poboy and my Abita Root beer (Now that I am an adult and can eat the whole thing, I no longer get it on the bun). Year after year the quality continues to satisfy and impressive. In 30 years I have never had anything less than a perfect experience at Bear's. And if they stay open, I'll be making the trek across state lines to get my poboy for the next 30 years.
