Big Bear's House Koh Kood — Restaurant in Trat Province

I liked the place, it's a nice atmosphere. I went at lunch time only, and I guess it's more friendly in the evening with the bbq and more guests around (I'm a solo traveller, so not many connections at this time)! Service is good and friendly. I went twice. Local food (I had the mango salad) was very good, perfect for the level of spice (which she asked when taking the order, appreciate that). Onion rings were ok. Of course, I know western food will never be the best in Thailand, but then I would like to say if it can help... The second time, I tried the beef burger and honestly, I ate it because I paid for it and I was hungry... Whatever, I'm pretty sure they make the steak themselves but the Thai way... Using any part of the animal mixed together.... Also it's over cooked, but I was happy about that because anyway, the meat is not good. This review is really to help you improve because I could see you want the best and you have passion. I hope it will help;) I will come again to try...

We had a great meal here last week. First of all, what a beautiful place Bear has built with traditional style house, a pleasant garden, perfect lighting and good sound system. The menu offers a good variety of Thai and international food with a heavy emphasis on grilled meat. The highlights for us were the Panang (with fish) and the Fish Steak (King Mackerel). The only thing we did not like was the burger (the beef was tough/chewy and full of gristle). Cocktails were also nice and big and fairly strong. Portions are huge! A few things they could improve would be to accept credit cards (having cash is tough for tourists) and use better ketchup (Heinz is way better than Roza, and definitely worth paying the extra 3 baht per bottle), and get...

Stopped by for lunch and saw Fish & Chips on the menu - wow, so rare to see this in Thailand! Served with vinegar too, double wow! And they have root beer as well! Triple wow - to find these rare menu items!

The fish & chips were huge and good, not too oily and batter was crispy. We also had ribeye steak which was also huge and nicely done. We mentioned about the huge servings to the owner and she said "eat like a big bear" haha.

We came for lunch and the vibes were chill. There were 2 guys jamming on the guitars and it was fun. The owner / lady boss was also very friendly, coming round to ask about the food. If you get bored of Thai food and seafood, this is a great place to come for some steaks...
