Though it's right on the highway, it was a neat little spot to get soft serve ice cream. It took longer for our hamburger and fries and the fries weren't very tasty, they were hard and had no seasoning, but what can one expect from a tiny place in the middle of nowhere.

An old 1950's road side Icecream stand that also has burgers and fries. I also get Icecream they have many options. There is no bathroom or sitting inside, there are picnic tables outside to sit and enjoy your treat.

Enjoyed the bbq sandwich and cheese fries. Cheap eats but pretty delicious and good portions. Menu is pretty big for such a small shop. Definitely recommend

First of all, they don't take credit or debit, so bring cash if you're from out of town. :)

The bf and I came hungry and ready to eat. We ordered a peanut butter malt, a chocolate malt, a soda, Mozzarella sticks, a double cheeseburger with bacon, and a mushroom and Swiss burger. Oh! And a little bit of chili to throw on the cheeseburger.

The bf was very pleased with his malt, as I was with mine. Not too malty, if you know what I mean, but definitely there. The burgers were a good size. The meat was a frozen patty, I'm pretty sure, but didn't affect the experience. Doesn't matter to me, but some people really care about that stuff. The Mozzarella sticks were lil smokie size, but you get a decent handful of them. The sauce is a pizza sauce, which was awesome as far as I'm concerned. The bf said the chili was good, with lots of flavor.

The only thing I might have had an issue with would be the soda. The mix was weak, and as such tasted a little too soda water for us. However, I asked the very friendly staff to throw a couple pumps of vanilla flavoring in there, and they gladly did so. Made it much better. :)

Bear's is very affordable. And the ice cream and food is very good. Yes I only have the banana splits, but I've seen the food that comes out of this small kitchen.
