Hungry Bear Restaurant — Restaurant in Cody

First of all, know that this is a family run small business. The family is really nice, the woman is the hostess and ONLY server but she is very efficient, and the kids (8-14yrs maybe) are respectful and helpful when they can be.

Came here after a disappointing experience the previous day in downtown Cody, and I wish we had gone with our gut the first time. This is a few miles off the main drag, but completely worth it. The hours are a little strange, closed from 10-11 and again from 3-4 in order to "reset" for lunch and dinner. We came for breakfast and ordered a scramble and one of their specialties.

The scramble came with hashbrowns and toast - perfectly acceptable. The hashbrown/biscuit/egg/bacon/gravy dish was delicious. The biscuits are very flaky and buttery, the hashbrowns crispy, but the gravy is lacking a little flavor. We also ordered a pancake because we are always in search of "the best". These are HUGE first of all, and have a sweet "cake batter" flavor (we just put some butter on it, no syrup). They are not my fave, but I am extremely particular when it comes to pancakes.

Great little place, you can tell it's a local gem and I would definitely recommend. Call to make sure they are open because the hours posted online are...

This is the worst customer service business I have ever been to. The last three times I've gone, which is during my lunch hour, I've not been able to eat, because they take too long to get the food out. Also, they only have one person who waits all the tables, and she is not a friendly person. If you miss the sign, "wait to be seated," and seat yourself, she will take her time getting to you. She has asked us to move to a table that is clean, instead of just wiping the table off. My daughter and I haven't been there in awhile, so we thought we give them another chance. Unfortunately, the outcome was worse. We had ordered a small pizza, and cheese sticks. The cheese sticks came out, but the pizza did not. After being there an hour, we finally paid for the meal and walked out. As we walked to the car the waitress came out and gave us the pizza. With an apology, she said, " you can always call your order in ahead of time." If you try this restaurant, make sure you have a couple of...

After hearing several great things about the food, we decided to try Hungry Bear last evening for dinner. Two gals behind the register noticed us when we walked in, but we had to wait several minutes before one decided to seat us even though tables were available. Once seated, we were not given menus, and again, after waiting several minutes, we had to ask for menus. 10 minutes later, our drink order was taken. 20 minutes later, after watching the waitress waste time going from one table to take an order then go to the kitchen to place the order then stop and look at this or that then decide to come out to take another table's order, we decided to leave. There were three more tables seated ahead of us, so we would have been waiting another 20 minutes or more before our order was taken. We hear the food is great, but I'm not sure the poor service is worth the wait. Very disappointed and don't know that we will stop again. Similar comments about the service and...
