Tussey Bär & Kitchen — Restaurant in Harris Township

This place was amazing when they first opened and it’s consistently gone downhill since then. They closed the actual restaurant with no warning to focus on their “beer garden” for the summer. We attempted to go there multiple times over the summer and there was always some issue. One time they couldn’t take cash because their internet was down ?????? Yes, you read that correctly. What does the internet have to do with taking cash?

Another time we waited over an hour for some precooked fries and hot dogs. At that point an employee yelled that their system was down, but if we ordered food it was probably ready, so come check. 🤷🏻‍♀️

After a long wait, they’ve now announced that the restaurant was open once again. Excitedly, we went again tonight hoping they were past the beer garden shenanigans and back to the previously good menu. Nope. Their menu consisted of 3 burritos, nachos and fries. The end. You order on a kiosk. That kiosk has no descriptions, so you have no idea if your nachos are just chips and cheese, veggies, meat. We decided to give the fries and nachos a try as they were previously yummy. Fail. What used to be fresh truffle fries were now plain fries straight from the freezer. The nachos had an elementary school lunch level hamburger crushed up on top with a little extra oil added to soften things up. Yuck.

We overheard them telling other patrons that their full menu starts Sunday. Shouldn’t this limited menu be mentioned when you tell the community you are reopening? We are now at a different restaurant eating again.

This place has such potential and just keeps...

I went for the first time today and can attest to the food being superb! I ordered the gochujang bone in wings and a super grilled cheese with fries. All items were quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. The wait staff was friendly and even offered us a sample of the sours before we ordered it. Overall it was a great experience and I...

Stopped in to have brunch after skiing. We had the avocado toast, bear burrito and eggs Benedict. They were all amazing! My personal favorite was the avocado toast, but loved them all. Extremely busy, race weekend and the service was...
