Bear Mountain Grill - Eagle River

Have never had bad food or poor service. Small town diner feel to it. We get the breakfast buffet most frequently. Competitively priced. The decor and layout is the reason for the reduction in stars. I have no clue what this building use to be, but it doesn 't appear to be a restaurant, very mixed matched...could use some modern updates but, in the end, your there to ear right? The decor doesn 't stop me from coming back.

No frills diner type restaurant. Hand pressed burgers were phenomenal. They serve lots of different foods here, including reindeer sausage. Not crazy about the fried mozzarella sticks, but the fried mushrooms were great! Server was very nice, food came out relatively quickly.

Alert: Under new ownership! NOT GOOD! 12/28/19 at 11am Wow! It was shocking how bad this place was. The new ownership has ruined Bear Mountain Grill. The buffet was the most disgusting buffet I have seen. The food was sparse and had been sitting for a long time. There were more empty tables than the were tables with people sitting at them. Anyone who knows Bear Mountain Grill the way it used to be knows what I am talking about. There WAS always a wait on a Saturday morning.

I come here at least once every two weeks, every time I went, I enjoyed the food but service has not been satisfying. Every time I go, I feel discriminated and under-treated because I am not white. My husband is white and servers always try to talk to him even though I am talking to them. Out of 7 times we have been there, not even a single time were we greeted at the door. But they sure readily greet all white groups. We are not gonna go here anymore as we found ways to make the same food with better quality ingredients. Oh by the way, I'm a service member too. So it feels great to know that this restaurant discriminates military based on skin color. : If you are not white, don't go here, you are not welcomed here.

2 stars because I didn't actually eat the food, but I saved myself some time. We had gone here frequently before the change of ownership and it is completely different. The buffet they had displayed looked gross, not cycled and dry. I may be biased because I am comparing it to what the old restaurant was like but I was not impressed with what I was seeing at all. It has the most basic unappealing menu I have seen in awhile. RIP.
