Bear's Smokehouse Barbecue

This was the best barbecue we have ever had. It was absolutely packed when we arrived. You wait in line to order your food cafeteria style, then sit wherever you like. There is a large outdoor seating area with fun stuff for the kids to enjoy, while the parents can relax. Indoor seating at both the restaurant and separate bar building, are available as well. Highly recommend the Bear balls- funny name, absolutely delicious!

Bear’s has the best BBQ! Get the Mac Attack, Bear Attack, cheese curds and more! Counter style and sit there or over at the bar or outside by the fire! There are many BBQ sauces to choose from in both the smokehouse and at the bar.

Supposed to be regular brisket I got one piece of meat and all the rest is fat goop except for a big piece of burnt end. I mentioned it to an employee and she just shrugged her shoulders. How can anyone afford to buy this and not get to eat but a tiny slice. Well not me. Great place good food but nope $28.00 and walk out hungry and have only fat scraps for the raccoon.

Such a great find while vacationing in Asheville!! Got the trio meats platter and it did not disappoint. The staff was extremely friendly and upbeat, and the atmosphere was inviting. Delicious food!

We threw a party for my husband’s birthday at Bear’s and had them cater it. They did such a wonderful job from start to finish! Their catering coordinators were great to work with beforehand. Then at the party Bev was incredible, helped with everything, kept the buffet stocked, stayed on top of timing and made sure we had everything we needed. The manager was so nice checking in on us a few times and helping out with the party. The private patio was the perfect spot for 20-30 people, and close to the bar and bathrooms. Everyone had a blast and the food was delicious as always!

Ordered a family meal through UberEats totaling $124, including brisket for a family of four, pulled pork for a family of four, mac and cheese, collard greens, and cornbread. The cornbread was completely missing, and the portions of both meats were far smaller than what was advertised as “family size” — realistically enough for about two people, not four. The sides we received were fine, but the main components of the order were not. When contacted, the restaurant acknowledged items may have been missed but stated they do not issue refunds for missing items. UberEats support ultimately capped the refund at $2, which did not come close to addressing the missing food. Food quality aside, this was disappointing from a portion and fulfillment standpoint, especially given the price and the expectations set by the menu description.

Great BBQ, clean kitchen, friendly staff, nice eating area including inside couches and outside lawn & games. Kickin tots were good but dry, needed sour cream. Super spud seemed like a better service. Both delicious.

A "happy accident" happened today. My order from Uber Eats ended up at the wrong house and I eneded up with thier order. This order was a one meat meal (chopped meat) beans ( very good with a few burnt ends stepping the taste up) and mashed sweet potatoes( these probably needed a little more salt to bring forth the spices, but still complemented the meal). The order also had some sticky ribs that was ON POINT. Meat falling right off the bone with a slight tug from a bite. Just right! The cheese curds were another part of the order and they had a little spicy kick. Not to bad! I would definitely order the ribs, chopped pork, beans and sweet potatoes when I go back:) OH! Also, the Oreo Mousse pie, was also nice:) Can't forget dessert!
