Bear & The Wren — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

Great food & Great experience! I lived in Los Angeles for years with a food truck on every corner. I didn’t think you can get this kinds of flavor & Freshness from a truck. I have been lucky enough to experience their food a couple of times. I think the BBQ Chicken pizza was the best but my husband will say it is the margarita pizza. Every side salad has been awesome! We had s’mores from the wood fire pizza oven that came out perfect. The owner is all about customer service! You can tell he has thought out every single detail. Did I forget to mention that the truck Is the coolest food truck anyone has ever seen. It is an old Ford truck with a pizza oven & beer taps. The first time I tried the Bear and The Wren it was a catering gig without the truck. It was a five star experience- wonderful food and the bar set up was gorgeous. Then you bring the truck into the equation and they are on a different level. It is hard to compare them to anyone else. Keep up the...

My wife and I came here for our anniversary and we were pretty disappointed. We ordered the wood fired lamb pizza and the detroit style bee stang. The lamb was incredibly gamey tasting and definitely not fresh. It tasted like it was purchased from a mass production factory where the animals were incredibly stressed. The bee stang was marginally better, but there was a very small dollop of cheese, not the large ones in pictures in other reviews. The honey and red sauce combination is what you expect honey and marinara to taste like... very odd. I have no idea why other reviewers think this is amazing. Honestly I've had far better wood fired pizza elsewhere and for much less.

It was very overpriced for what we were served including $5 bottle of soda. Basically like the rest of the restaurants in downtown SLO, this place is an overhyped tourist trap that serves subpar food and charges ridiculous prices simply because it's on the edge of...

Came here for late night salads and apps since they were one of few atmospheric places that were open. Order a casaer salad, piada, and a market salad, both salads with chicken.

The casaer salad tasted fine, but had a very small amount of dressing compared to typical casaer salads. It made me feel like i was eating a bowl of basic romaine w/ crouton and chicken chunks. The amount of chicken present on the salad was not remotely worth to cost.

The market salad, by comparison, was very very flavourful. I was impressed that it had peaches during september since theyre a bit out of season.

The Piada was the most offensive; flatbread should not be coated in oil, and this was drenched. The ricotta was smooth but overpowered by oil and garlic; the garlic made it taste fishy. Awful choice, sad that a flatbread got this badly butchered.

I was so unimpressed I went home and made my own pizza and...
