Delicious! stopped in here for lunch. Had the BBQ sampler platter. Very filling, and each item was delicious. The BBQ meats were each savory in their own regard. The collard greens and mac & cheese were both spectacular. Comfortable/ Casual & clean decor. covered outdoor seating also.

What a find! This is a really cute place that I happened upon. It is spacious inside with fun seating options but the best part of my day was eating their DELICIOUS chopped pork bbq sandwich. It was slightly greasy goodness to the last bite. The pork had the best smokiness yet was so tender. I asked for it with slaw on plus the sweet and tangy sauce. Fantastic!! And the service was topnotch even though I was there at an off time. Convenient to freeways and lots of shops in the center there. Make sure you check their limited hours!

Some of the best bbq I’ve ever had. Portions are generous and prices are good. The broccoli casserole is unbelievable!! Their patio is dog friendly. They even brought out a water bowl for my dog! 10/10.

Literally the best ribs I have ever had were had today at Black Bear BBQ. Get the dry rub, just trust me! My family and daughters came today and tried the family sampler platter with green beans, broccoli casserole, Mac and cheese, and sweet potato casserole. The pulled pork was my mom’s favorite, the smoked sausage was incredible, the smoked chicken hit the spot for my girls and the ribs obviously rocked my world. The sides were all amazing, but I have a soft spot for broccoli casserole. Just takes me back to pot lucks at southern churches growing up as a kid. The food was all amazing but the staff, restaurant, cleanliness all shined. The owner came out and offered us some banana puddings for my kiddos and we all enjoyed it! I am so glad we came here today and if you’re roaming through Asheville and love bbq, don’t let this one pass you by!

The brisket sandwich I had was tender moist and fatty which was really good. The nana pudding was not super sweet and got a good texture. All sides were excellent and not overly salty or sweet. I will be coming back!

Incredible food and incredible service. I got the brisket sandwich and my wife got a 1/4 chicken, both perfectly cooked. Keep up the good work gang!

Lunch combos are a lot of bang for your buck. The pork sandwich and side were both larger than expected ($7.95). The sweet potato crunch side was not overly sweet. The baked beans were nicely flavored, not a strong barbeque flavor. We were a little disappointed that the pork did not have a smoky flavor. There were several sauces available.

Cons: Pulled pork and coleslaw was on par with Cook Out’s. Corn bread was underwhelming: dry, crumbly, and reminded me of high school cafeteria cornbread. Social distancing is still a thing here.

If you’re visiting town for a kids soccer game and have hungry teenagers then I’d very highly suggest this place. All 4 of us left happy . Local SB, is great BBQ. I ordered pulled Chicken burger with broccoli cheese side and they accidentally brought it with green beans as well and those were very crunchy and fresh. We also ordered stew, pulled pork BBQ burgers and main cheese. The whole experience was very good. Definately will be back. Rr was clean.

If you’re looking for an intimate and unique dining experience, Black Bear’s owner is the man to call. In addition to their BBQ storefront, Black Bear’s AJ also can provide you and your party with a special night of dining in the comforts of your own home or vacation spot in and around Asheville. This multi-course live fire dinner was tailored to our specifications and was absolutely one of the (if not THE) best meals my party has ever had. The use of actual open fire and wood in the preparation of the meal gives each course unexpected flavors. Not only are you served high quality food throughout this meal, but you are provided a total experience. 10/10 would hire AJ and his team again and looking forward to the next time I can do so.
