Bbq Bears Restaurant & Catering

First time here. We ordered and got 2 waters with our meal, (Red Solo Cups), we paid a dollar and change each for them. We paid cash to avoid the credit card surcharge. We took our seats. We waited roughly 20 minutes and they brought the food out. It was in to go containers fit with plastic cutlery. We ordered pulled pork and a half barbeque chicken. The food was excellent! The server offered barbeque sauce and brought it over, which was nice. There was also barbeque sauce in cups that came with the food.

YOU MUST TRY IT!!! We tried this place last Sunday & are headed back there tonight! Their Brunswick Stew, Ribs & Homemade Ranch Dressing are AMAZING!!! The Ribs fall off the bone! The Stew & Ranch taste exactly like what we had from another BBQ place on the other side of GA that burned down years ago. I have searched many places but never found another that tasted the same. It truly brought tears to my eyes because it reminded me of my Mom, that Brunswick Stew was her favorite! Erica waited on us and she was awesome! Hearing about the owner, Amanda, and the history of the restaurant was really nice! We will make this a regular restaurant for sure!

My wife and I dropped in here on a whim, and were surprised how good it was. We both had pork sandwiches, mac cheese, and they were both great. The pork was juicy and the BBQ was excellent. I recommend the spicy sauce. I mentioned I like Brunswick stew and would try it next time, and the owner brought me over a sample. It was excellent as well. I'm definitely getting some next time. I'm excited to try the ribs too. All around great food and great service!

So good! Had brisket (only available on Fridays), pulled pork, mac & cheese, onion rings, fried okra and sausage, and it all tasted. Great! The fried okra and the onion rings were freshly fried and not greasy. The breading was nice and crispy. The meat was seasoned real nice, and was not overly seasoned or salty and you could add barbecue sauce, which they make and is also amazing! The brisket had a nice great burnt outside.

Where do I start when describing the awesome find that is BBQ Bears in Winder? The staff. For me every restaurant can run me off never to return if the staff doesn't keep me coming back. Even if your food is superb you can lose me as a customer if the service stinks or the attitudes are off Not here! From the Owner down, everyone you encounter is friendly, and helpful and genuinely seems happy to be there. A big green flag for me. Especially Dee and Lelea during the afternoons. Its honestly just a great all around atmosphere. Now onto the food. In my opinion it's the best meal in all of Winder. Period. Winder didnt have the big city options so I have been a fan ever since they opened. Noticeable mentions are the fried okra, mac and cheese, hush puppies and ANY BBQ meats. It's ALL good. It just is good food at a reasonable price and top notch service. Every time. I had a family member hire them to cater their wedding we all love it so much. The location itself has cute and whimsical decor. The space is bright, open and clean. The parking lot is easy to access and is located on the main drag of Broad Street. I don't know what else to say about my FAVORITE GO TO RESTAURANT in Winder. Go give them a try and you will be a fan as well.

First time here, pretty picky about my pulled pork, if I get a bad bite I'm done. I got the pulled pork sandwich (with cole slaw) platter with mac n cheese and a coke. The sandwich was huge! The guy brought out different sauces to try, the sweet was my favorite! The sandwich was huge and the Mac n cheese I hardly touched because the sandwich was so good I couldn't put it down! Talked to some other patrons about what they were having because it looked so good. They were return customers who raved about the ribs, wings and pork! The decor is cute, but I will be back 10/10 for the food!
