Bears Cafe — Restaurant in Garland

Triple D needs to stop running the episode with this place immediately! The Pie Dump no longer exists & what's left in its rotting corpse bares zero resemblance to it. If the new owners want to do their own thing, which is definitely their prerogative, separate and clearly differentiate yourself from it as thoroughly as possible. Everything on their Yelp page carried over from the original restaurant and none of it is still accurate. Making matters worse, they seemed visibly annoyed when we asked them about items from the original menu. It was weird and very off-putting. Additionally, make your phone number very easy to find. My family drove a couple of hours to get to this place and we had concerns, as there was mixed info as to whether this was still the same thing it was when Triple D filmed there. Everyone in my family looked for a number and tried to call them and none of us were able to reach them. We mentioned this and I don't feel that they were honest with us when they insisted that their number was readily available on the internet. It most definitely was not. It very much seemed to us like they are trying to take advantage of all the great publicity and buzz the original place received from Triple D and Yelp and they are hoping to trick people into coming and trying them and being wowed by the new product so much the old won't matter.

I was with my wife, two of my daughters, one of their husbands and my two grandkids. We all agreed that we felt like we were somehow in an episode of Seinfeld. As mentioned, we drove a long distance and waited to eat so we could try this and everyone was too hungry to push on to Ogden and try to find something else. Perhaps this is part of the plan for them as well. Hostage eating. There really aren't any other options around there. We finally hit a point where we were all so annoyed, we agreed that we were just going to go where the experience took us and then share it online.

The menu is mostly breakfast food, which no one really wanted at 2PM. My wife ordered a club sandwich, which she said wasn't terrible but was clearly made with packaged deli meat like you'd buy at a supermarket. Nothing special at all. The two high points were the Utah scones and the pork chops that my daughters ordered. They were very fatty and low-grade but one of my daughters lived in the Philippines for a while and low grade pork is a staple food there so it brought her happy memories. The other daughter is just delighted to eat anything served with easy-over eggs and runny yolks so that made it all edible for her. My SiL was pretty unimpressed with his food but will be writing his own review. My grandkids are too young to care but growing up in this family, I'm fairly certain the'd have pretty specific feelings about it if they were a little older. I ended up ordering a breakfast burrito because literally nothing else on the menu looked vaguely appetizing after I hyped myself up for the menu I saw on Triple D. They charged me an extra $4 to include bacon, ham and sausage and adamantly refused to swap out green peppers for jalapenos. I agreed to pay extra for the jalapenos but there was not a single jalapeno in the entire burrito once it arrived. I opted to not bother mentioning it to our server since she'd been standoffish about every single thing we'd asked her about to that point so I just figured I'd let her know in this review that she pretty much bought with their weak hospitality. There was also a random bone shard in the burrito. How cheap does the sausage you use in your restaurant have to be to have bone shards in it?!!. If you look at the pic of it I posted, it looks like something purchased in the frozen section at Winco with some rubbery cheese melted on it in the microwave. One of the worst breakfast burritos I've ever eaten. I also paid nearly $6 for some appetizer pot stickers that were very overcooked and clearly straight out of a bag of frozen potstickers purchased from a food supplier.

They very much overestimate their...

I will spare everyone the pain of eating this food, and simply say, do not. I ordered biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were doughy (not gravy saturated but under baked) and somehow also burned on the bottom so I could not cut them.

But, the gravy tasted absolutely rancid. I took one bite and promptly walked 20 dollars worth of food to my outdoor trash can so as to avoid it being in my kitchen. There is a slight chance they, for some reason, use sour cream in their gravy recipe, but in this context it tastes like rancid, spoiled cream. To add insult to injury it was broken, grainy and greasy. I think this is possibly the only thing from any restaurant I have ever spit out in 40 years.

My wife got a round up platter with a rubber round steak (no one asked how she wanted it cooked...) with hash browns that were also very odd tasting. She said the eggs were good, which were made by chickens, not the employees.

For this we waited over 30 minutes for a to go order in an atmosphere that screamed "This restaurant is an afterthought to our arrowhead and makers mark, by the pallet water business" (they sell pallet in, pallet out resale water on their website, right in their menu).

I've lived in Garland for over a decade, and given the history of this location, this is an insult to our community. The previous owners who reopened as Bears Cafe at least respected the food and location, and served edible dishes.

I would give 0 stars if Google...

Man, what a disappointment!! lol I tried this place and have wanted to try it for a few weeks. I go to the same diner for breakfast every weekend morning so I thought I would try this place out it's over by where I wash my car.

It was 11:30 on a Sunday morning. As I walked up to the door a group of four was walking out. I sat down inside and was the only person there. And continue to be the only person there as I ate. As I was leaving a gentleman rolled up on a motorcycle. I now know why I was the only person there..

I ordered breakfast. If I could give this place any advice, it would be to not use microwaved bacon?? And my food was ready way too quick for it to be fresh? Cold potatoes to boot.. I ordered two eggs hash browns wheat toast and bacon... I wanted oatmeal as well but your waitress talked me out of it?? I honestly thought this food would be like home-cooked diner food.. Maybe the lunch menu is better?? I will never eat breakfast here again. The only thing I ate was the two eggs. It was garbage. I actually feel bad leaving this review however you folks have got to do something better with your breakfast food. Not to mention your young waitress rush me out the door? I thought maybe y'all were closing at noon? But the she said 3?

If you're reading this, take my advice and go to JC's diner in Elwood, a 3 minute drive! You'll get REAL...
