Another rave. For those of you who have not tried Barbecue Bears, you should. It has become one of my favorites. The place is always clean, the employees are always friendly and helpful and the food as always is fresh and good.

I just door dashed bc I have a summer flu. First time trying the food. AMAZING. I’ve been home for 5 yrs looking for good bbq, pretty much let down every time. Not today. The food is perfect. Yall enjoy!

Great looking shop and the food taste really great. I ordered a little bit of everything and have wonderful flavors. I really enjoyed the chicken and ribs. I will definitely come back again!!!

Went on Saturday at lunch time, right after opening. Ordered the three meat platter: ribs spot on, sausage good, chicken was dry and tough. Mac and cheese lacked flavor and fried okra was fried okra. The staff looked a little confused at times when trying to give out orders and this cause delays in the food being pushed to the correct customers. Maybe a number system for tables or take a name at the register to call out for pick up. It works everywhere else. May have to try again to see if this was just a growing pain for this restaurant.

Amazing brisket!!! By far one of the best places in town. They have a good selection of homemade sides. Specifically the mac n cheese and coleslaw. I couldn’t leave without their homemade banana pudding!!! The staff is amazing. They’ll take good care of you.

Will definitely have to come back and try again! That being said, there were a few things that I felt lacked flavor, I got the turnip greens they were kind of planned. Not a huge fan of their barbecue sauce, and I felt like the pork could have had a little bit more smoke flavor to it, the Brunswick Stew was awesome! All in all, good food.

I think this might be the best Brunswick stew that I’ve ever had! It tastes just like Carolina Hash n rice, minus the rice. So good. We were very happy with everything that we ordered. The cat fish and smoked sausage were delicious as well.

New place in town, reminiscent of an old man who had a BBQ place that had to be sold due to retirement. I’ve missed that place, and finally, something is actually a little better than the old man’s. First, I only had the pork plate with sides, but here we go. The pork was very finely chopped, and the portion was healthy with a very nice texture but i would have liked it warmer than room temperature. I was asked about my sauce preference and chose sweet and a second version of spicy. They offered another option that escapes me. I would like to see smaller bottles of all sauces served with the plate vs. 1 big bottle of sweet and a condiment cup of spicy. The Hushpuppy side was better than my Grandma’s, and Potato Salad was very creamy, mayo based, not mustard, and the baked beans had the right tint of onion and green pepper. The management touched base during the meal, and the place was emaculate. Soda water on the fountain drink dispenser was a rare and noticed touch for customers that like fizzy but not sugary drinks. Plenty of tables and bright surroundings. Will certainly go back and try some different sides just to see and I’m thankful for another local business that we certainly can support with food as good as this. Keep up the great work.

Ordered the pulled pork plate and wasn’t disappointed. Enough finely chopped pork for 2-3 sandwiches and it was meat, not a bunch of fat. The fried okra and baked beans were good but what surprised me was the Brunswick stew, it was delicious. We’ll definitely be trying them out again. Only advice I would give is when a new customer comes in and isn’t sure about what sauces to use because they’ve never tasted them, give them a sample. And also One cup of bbq sauce isn’t enough to cover all the meat you’re putting into the plate. Overall though good job BBQ Bears…

I had the ribs, baked beans and fries. My co-worker got the pulled pork sandwich. The ribs were good but the pulled pork had to be drowned in sauce to get any taste. Definitely cooked in an electric smoker. Not open pit or wood smoked meat.
