Service was great, but with lines all over the place I guess I was wanting something really special. They do specialize in sweet breakfasts, and, apparently, those are amazing. I wanted more of a protein-forward meal and there just weren't many choices. read more

We were looking forward to Bear Paw, but unfortunately had a pretty tough experience. Context: family of four heading home on the last day of a Spring Break road trip. We put our name in around 9:45am. The 30-45 minute wait time was just under 80 minutes. Ten minutes after being seated, we had menus but no waters, place settings, or server.  The host station was 6 feet from us, so I went over and let them know we were ready. "Your server will be with you shortly." Ten more minutes, nothing. I went to the bar area and asked for help. Turns out, our server didn't know our table was part of her area - so, the host was just saying a line to get rid of us. There were two hosts and mostly they tried to avoid clearing tables, hoping the other one did it. There were 3-4 parties waiting for tables that were available, just not being cleared.  The food was good, and came out fairly soon after ordering. I wish I could just review the food; it was 5/5. One order was slightly wrong, but that was the server grabbing the wrong plate. It was just after noon by the time our food arrived. That's a big interval for a ~9:45am arrival. I just looked at the most recent dozen reviews, and it looks like ours was more of the norm right now rather than an isolated unlucky incident. Lots of potential here but overall, we should've tried somewhere else. read more

It was a few days after Christmas and a Sunday so the place was very busy as there few only a few places open. I ordered an omelette and my boyfriend ordered a hamburger. The omelette was just OK, the fat that it had been cooked in didn't taste very fresh and so it had that slightly stale taste and the vegetables were not great either. My boyfriend had the hamburger and he said it was way too salty, that was the hamburger patty itself. Even though I am a vegetarian, I asked him for a taste, and it was very salty. Full transparency, he did eat it, but we brought it to their attention afterwards. Drip coffee was on the pricier side, we paid $4.35 for a cup, which is a lot for a small café I think. It was good though. The staff were friendly. But I don't think I'll eat here again. read more

This lovely little café in comfortable downtown St. George offers some very satisfying options for breakfast and lunch. Located on Main St. in the middle of this small city, it was nicely tucked into the other businesses in that block. We walked in just before 2 PM on a Thursday, an hour before closing time. There were five or six other parties, but it was no problem to get a table in their relatively spacious dining room. The place was tidy and nicely decorated, yet it retained a modicum of simplicity to give it the feel of a Western hometown diner. We were attended to fairly quickly. Our server Samantha did a very good job of taking care of us while we were there. The menu offered many tempting and even decadent options. I decided to try the Huevos Rancheros, which came with bacon and a salad on the side. These were done a little differently than most preparations of Huevos Rancheros that I have tried. There wasn't much in the way of a "Mexican-style" bent to them. They were very cheesy but not very spicy. But they were still good and a little Tabasco or Frank's can always take care of the spice! My wife went the route of decadence with a Peanut Butter Waffle. This was a golden brown waffle prepared just right with whipped cream drizzled with caramel. It was finished with a few banana slices to give it a wonderful, though rich, blend of flavors. We had water to drink so our final bill with food, tax and tip was $36. At $18 per person by today's standards, I was happy enough with the value. I should note that there was enough to take away for another small meal, thus adding to the value. If you are in downtown St. George, I'd recommend giving this place a try. It's a great place for comfort fare. I have a partiality to downtown diners, and this is a good one. read more

Great food, great service, clean restaurant. We are visiting from Texas and stopped by this cute quaint little breakfast spot. Portion sizes are big and menu is a good variety of food options, something for everyone, even picky eaters. We really really liked this place. read more

We love stopping at Bear Paw Café whenever we pass through St. George, and this visit reminded us why. The peanut butter pancakes are absolutely unbeatable--hands down our favorite anywhere. We came in at 7 a.m., and the two servers working that morning were such a delight. We didn't catch their names, but one looked to be in her twenties and the other maybe late thirties, and both were so fun to talk to. They set the tone for a perfect breakfast. If you're in St. George and want great food and genuinely warm service, Bear Paw Café never disappoints. We can't wait to stop in again! read more

Bear Paw Cafe - Peanut butter pancakes. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - St. George, Utah

We loved this place so much, we came back a second time on our vacation! They were busy both times, but the service is great! They've been there for 30 years and are open every day of the week for lunch and all day breakfast. Although they've been there so long, everything looked fresh and clean and cared for. It has small town diner vibes. The food was all delicious and cooked on point! The sweet cream pancakes were heavenly! I tried the Bear Paw Hot Vanilla, made with milk, honey, vanilla, raw sugar, whipped cream, cinnamon and nutmeg and I fell in love! I'm glad I don't live here, because that drink could be a problem lol. Don't worry if you have to put your name on a wait list...they have seating out front and it's in the historic section, so beautiful all around. read more

We were a party of 6 and were quoted a 30-40 minute wait, but ended up waiting over an hour while several parties who arrived after us were seated first. I understand that smaller tables may be seated sooner, but after the quoted wait time had already passed, we watched two small tables seated right next to each other that could have easily been combined to accommodate our group. That was frustrating, especially after waiting longer than expected. When I went to check on our wait time, I stood at the host stand for quite a while before being acknowledged. Someone told me they would be with me shortly, but then proceeded to clean a table before coming back to help me. Overall, the customer service could definitely use improvement, particularly in communication and managing wait times more thoughtfully. read more

Two visits. Two different experiences. First time the food was good and the server was ready attentive. No refill on coffee but, okay. Second time I ordered poached eggs, I guess I didn't realize that I needed to say medium. They came medium-well hard boiled. The server took the order, delivered the food, came when I asked for the check and then disappeared. I paid at the counter with the help of one of the other three servers chatting together. Did not check to sed if there was an issue with meal or coffee refills. Going to try George's next time, service at lunch was excellent. read more

Another cute little diner with super easy parking around. Large menu and even larger portions. Come hungry!!! Everything that passed our table looked amazing. I wish id have gotten a waffle or crepe or something - the huevos rancheros were underwhelming. Broghan loved his french dip, looks like sandwiches are served all day! If i come back you better believe im getting something sweet. read more

We had a miserable experience. Took more than an hour for Our simple breakfast To be served... Waitress was not engaged. We had to keep prompting her to check on our meal. Won't go back. read more

This isn't it. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and they came out cold. The bacon was good, but I was disappointed with the experience. The home fries were good, but not really what one would expect when ordering home fries. I do not mind restaurants doing things a little differently, but I think the guests should know. There was a specific (cheese? spice?) blend that they used that I liked quite a bit on the home fries and I would order them again. The interior is pretty cramped and the walkway exiting the building requires some maneuvering if someone else is coming down. Our waitress seemed disinterested until she gave us the bill. For $40, I wish I would have went to a chain or tried something else. read more

By the time we got our food we never got our drinks until we mentioned it. My biscuit was the toughest thing to poke into. My hashbrowns were burned. Only good thing was the sausage. read more

What a great find for a good breakfast, I was on a girls trip and we found this spot on a Yelp search. The cafe is good sized and the food is good so plan on putting your name on the list and waiting for a little bit outside. Our 10 minute wait was worth it. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs and this is the best chicken fried steak I have had in a long time. My friends ordered eggs and bacon and potatoes and a pancake meal and they were very happy with the food, the price and the service. You can dine at the counter or at a table and after you are done eating walk down the Main Street for the antique shops along the way. read more

This wasn't bad. We came right before the Saturday morning rush right before 9am so there wasn't a wait. It's a small cafe so plan for a wait if you're caught in the rush. Decent cafe for brunch, generous portions and good place to go with your besties. Recommend. read more

From what I had heard, this place was super good. And from the line outside, I had high expectations. But the food itself was not that special, I got the French toast which was good, but nothing special. I thought it was kind of flavorless. My mother has been here before and said that it wasn't nearly as good as it was a few years ago. Some of the workers looked like they were struggling to find stuff to do, or they were just chatting with co-workers. As a result, we waited for 30 minutes just to get our food. It was a very cozy atmosphere and was a nice experience. They do very good at maintaining the old cafe look. But to be honest, 50 dollars for two orders of French toast that are only a little better than Cracker Barrel just doesn't appeal to me so much. read more

Food was good. Nice big portions that you'd think of at a diner. Plus it tasted good! They were busy and were training some new staff. But things still went smooth and we got our correct order and were in and out in a timely manner. The chill air was great for some while others found it a little cold. read more

Open until 3 but stopped seating before 1? What a waste of time bothering to go there. Do people just sit there for hours talking or do they need to hire a larger staff? I probably won't bother with them ever again or even recommend them. read more

My mom took us to this place when we were visiting Utah. Located in the cute and walkable Dixie area in St. George. I love that area, and parking wasn't an issue as there was a structure nearby. Get ready to wait a long time if you go during the weekend breakfast rush! We waited about an hour. During that wait, I was able to go next door and visit the beautiful hotel and check out their bar and lobby. Inside the restaurant there is a decent amount of seating, but definitely on the smaller side. Had a cozy, cafe vibe that we enjoyed. We were helped pretty quickly after sitting down, there was a group of 4 of us. The food is so yummy and the portions are huge! Everything tasted so fresh. We were definitely stuffed after our meal. We tried the quiche - so good with the potatoes, pancakes that were humongous, biscuits and gravy - this was one of the best I have ever had and came with so much other food (sausage and potatoes), and the pastrami sandwich with sweet potato fries. Great place to stop at if you are visiting the area. Thank you for such a great experience! read more

The Bear Paw Cafe used to be a great place for breakfast or brunch. I had not been there for years because of bad service. Decided to try again with a friend yesterday and we were very disappointed. She ordered Eggs Benedict and was quite pleased with those. I ordered French toast with hash browns and bacon. The French toast had no butter on it and was mediocre. Both of our hash browns were so greasy and had the smell and taste of rancid oil. My friend complained about her hash browns and they offered to make her some more. However, the 2nd try was no better. I only ate about 4 bites of hash browns with lots of ketchup to mask the taste and my bacon was very fatty and greasy. At bill time the server offered to comp my friends meal, which we appreciated but the greasy food set us both up for indigestion. in addition, the restroom was dirty and the whole place needs repairs and painting. There seems to be no money being put back into this restaurant. A very big disappointment and we will never go back!! read more

This very cute cafe was very pleasant. The staff was friendly and we were greeted very nicely and seated! The food was wonderful and a lot! My favorite was The Bear Paw Hot Vanilla drink! It was so light and nice. My husband and granddaughter asked to have milk and the first time it was brought in a warm glass and the second time they both said it tasted funny, so something was up with the milk that day. Will return next time! Yummy Yummy! read more

Well I pushed up a block happy and hungry. My 3 girls and I had just finished playing at the water feature down at the park. The lovely ramp appeared to be for ADA access although it was odd to have a ramp inside. Get this, a podium blocked the way at the top. What an obtrusive and unwelcoming entrance for any wheelchair user. this It was really quite ridiculous. And the aisles, the aisles in the restaurant existed but were most likely cause for concern. I did not even want to wait in one of them for a table. Besides, I had to knock a table out of my way just to turn around. Check the ADA laws Bear Paw! Thanks for nothing. read more

This place was fantastic ! The food was delicious (our family pretty much got one of everything and we were not disappointed). Our waitress was so kind and very attentive. Will visit again when we are in town :) read more

Typical St. George experience, if you're a visitor they treat you like one. Never saw the server besides once, to take the order- never saw a smile. Cooks did their thing, no lie! However, the service was 0/10. Do better! read more

We had breakfast here , service was awful !!!had to ask several times for more coffee and tried ordering a simple toast everyone kept saying that the toaster oven was broken, which is fine. Offer a biscuit offer an English muffin. It was like pulling teeth to try to get somebody to accommodate my child for a piece of bread.. staff was more interested in talking on their phones behind the counter than waiting on clients very disappointed. Breakfast was just OK. read more

One of the best breakfasts ever. Large servings of blueberry pancakes and thick, stuffed French toast to die for. This was coupled with extremely friendly and efficient service. A must visit. read more

Bear Paw Cafe has that classic mom-and-pop energy with a vibe that feels both local and totally its own. The decor is fun, unique, and super dialed into the area. Staff was incredibly friendly--felt more like being welcomed into someone's home than just grabbing breakfast. The Stuffed French Toast with vanilla filling? Absolute hit. Soft, warm, loaded with fresh fruit, and the custard filling was next level. CUSTAAAAAAARD. Rich, sweet, and super satisfying. Easy 8/10. Chicken Fried Steak was also a standout. Swapped out toast for a biscuit--solid move. The steak was crispy and tender, and the gravy had deep, savory flavor that tied it all together. Another 8/10 across the board. The kids loved their meals too. The chocolate chip pancakes were sweet and fluffy, a clear win. And the half waffle disappeared completely--first time that plate was wiped clean. Oh, and don't sleep on the hot chocolate. It officially got the "best hot chocolate ever" stamp of approval from the kids, which is not a title they hand out lightly. If you're in St. George, this spot is a must. Great food, great people, and a vibe that makes you want to come back. read more

Food was pretty good. Service was great. But paying $4.35 for just a regular cup of coffee is outrageous. I was in shock when i got my bill. I would go back again, but I will not order a cup of coffee. read more

This place is always busy so coming with food allergies is always nerve wracking, but they were incredibly accommodating. We were seated right away early on a Saturday. The atmosphere is quiet, but gets loud when the espresso machine is on, but it's short lived. The staff is young but doing a wonderful job. The portions are fantastic especially the kids ones. Both of my preschool age children could share. Decent coffee drink, delicious hot cocoa. The food all tasted good, I have no complaints except maybe the toast, it's nice & thick, but dry. read more

We happened upon this little cafe last Sunday morning. What grabbed our attention were all the "best of awards" stickers on their windows. We were greeted by a friendly smile and seated right away. We ordered the Greek Omelette, the breakfast burrito, the orange smoothie and the Mocha smoothie. All the food arrived to our table quickly and the server was very friendly, checked on us throughout our dining experience. The food was great and the hash browns were crispy, just how I like them. Will be returning for sure. read more

"You grew up in St. George and have never been to Bear Paw?" That was the question posed to me by a friend as we were waiting for our table on a Saturday morning. Sure enough, I've heard of the infamous breakfast place that is open every day of the year, but I had never made it over for a meal...until now. Yes, we waited. About an hour for a table on a Saturday around 10am. It's a small café in a beautiful old building along Main Street. Service was attentive and friendly, once we were seated. I enjoyed the #1-eggs, bacon and potatoes. I found that the bacon was a little more seasoned than I would prefer and the portion of eggs was a little small, especially compared to the generous portion of potatoes. My wife had the chocolate chip pancakes and said they were very good. Since there is often a wait, plan accordingly and spend some time browsing some of the nearby shops. read more
