Black Bear BBQ — Restaurant in Appalachia

Id heard this place was decent but i heard wrong! Took 10 minutes to get seated with no one else at the door. Another 15 minutes for anyone to take our order. Food came out fairly quick. I had a brisket sandwich. Once i opened the sandwich i found two tiny slices of brisket i mean less than 3oz. I waited to ask the server if this was all i got for $13 and if so could i order more brisket to put on it. No server ever came back. Got tired of waiting after 10 minutes or so and ate the sandwhich, id tell you how the brisket was but there was so much more bun than meat all i tasted was bread. My drink was almost empty when i got my food and stayed empty long after we finished eating. Never did get checked on by a server. Went to the register and waited another 10 minutes for somone (the owner) to finally ring us up. When i informed him id not be returning to his establishment his response was a dirty look of indifference. Servers looked burried with an only half full dining room and seemed to work very ineficiently making trip after trip to the same table instead of making rounds as they should Poorly managed. Poor service. There were plenty of chances along the way to make our experience there a decent one and this place...

Decided to try a quick walk in order and wasn’t disappointed. Wife got some fried green tomatoes and I had the smoked chicken wings. You would not know the place is brand new! Efficient order, friendly service, price is fair and what we tried was absolutely delish! I’ll be back and will eventually try everything on the menu!

Edit: 2nd visit was dine in and excellent as well. Place is cozy, welcoming and has small town charm. Love the Westmoreland sign, football helmets and pictures. Got burgers, baked taters and salad. Fresh and tasty. Love this place and exactly the kinda place you find the best...

We actually heard about this place from a family member and happened to be driving a little off the beaten path through "downtown" Appalachia and just had to check it out! And what a pleasant surprise it was! I see big things for this neglected old town, starting with this very clean and fun little place! Our server was very pleasant and attentive. We asked her about the small stage with mics and she informed us there was live music and Karaoke certain times of the week! We really enjoyed the food! Their special bbq beans were to die for! They have several different beers too! I can't wait to...
