If you are into restaurants with pretty logos and trendy interior designs, this place is for you! If you want decent food at a reasonable price, go to Waffle House or Arby's across/down the street.
Ordered the Sleepy Bear Breakfast Platter with the Gouda Grits, Cajun Omelette with Hashbrown Casserole and a Basket of Biscuits. With two drinks the total came up to $35.91. The amount of food you get is very small portions and the quality and taste is less than a McDonald's breakfast. I am 100% puzzled as to how this place has really good reviews.
The Gouda Grits were served luke-warm AT BEST, the omelette had NO CHEESE, the bacon tasted like it was marinated in melted Halls cough drops and the eggs were dry and rubbery.. The biscuits were about the only thing that was barely edible and 3 of them will cost you $7.. And they aren't even as good as the ones you'd get at a chain restaurant like Cracker Barrel FOR FREE!
If you're looking to support a local business (I'm guessing this due to the non-stop blaring Christian Praise Music) go for it! I'm pretty sure they will be more than happy to take your money.

Read moreExcellent lunch at the Sleepy Bear this afternoon.
Greeted with a smile from the outset!
We, were recommended the daily special, which was red beans & rice.
My colleague went with red beans & rice!
I chose the fried green tomato blt with a cup of the red beans & rice on the side!
One thing to note on the FGTBLT was the quality of the bacon the Sleepy Bear uses, beyond excellent and cooked perfect.
The green tomato was fried perfect, crispy on the outside and nice and soft inside!
They use a spring mix and a house sauce as well on nicely toasted white bread!
I'd highly recommend the FGTBLT on a visit and I'll be back to consume it again in the near future.
Now, let's breakdown the red beans!
I cook red beads weekly and let me tell you, these red beans were on point, creamy, seasoned perfect and the beans were cooked perfect, not mushy, but the correct texture.
I'd recommend a stop in at the Sleepy Bear if you're passing through Wiggins, but I'd also make the hike up there as the menu is vast with other entree's worth...
Read moreWalking I was surprised. I thought it would be over decorated with bears. It wasn't, it was beautiful and cozy. The staff was very friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and the coffee. I ordered the Boujee Bear special coffee, it was salted caramel and white chocolate. I had an iced one. Just delicious!!. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and bang bang shrimp tacos and a kids quesadilla and fries. The sandwich was great but the tacos were amazing. My son loved his quesadilla. The whole experience was wonderful. Our meal was almost 50$ so dont come thinking it's cheap. You pay for what you get and you get delicious food in a clean friendly environment,Thank you Dirt Baby and all the cooks and staff at Sleepy Bear for wonderful lunch.
