What Kathy D likes about Bear's Smokehouse Barbecue:
Great barbecue and even better atmosphere. Great bar and outdoor seating area allows pets and grassy area for games. I am not a barbecue connoisseur but everything we had was very good. Brisket was tender and ribs were crusty but fell off the bone. Good potato salad and macaroni and cheese. Corn bread with honey butter should be a must. All sauces were good but ghost pepper was my favorite, great heat but not at all... View all feedback.

What Amanda Hahn doesn't like about Bear's Smokehouse Barbecue:
Drove 2 hours to try this place! Definitely good bbq spot but was turned off because the staff was rude. The cashier who rang us up literally rolled our eyes at us when we were confused about the menu. Ribs/ wings were better than the pulled chicken.Food: 3/5 View all feedback.
