    House oysters
    Keeley M.

    Went to this place for the 1.00 oysters and it was so worth it! The house oysters were so big I had to take two bites to eat the whole oyster. I didn't try any other food but the restaurant was small and cute with a wait.

    Stopped by BearWalrus on a Friday night around 6pm.. The place is packed. 30 mins wait. Which is expected. And Felicity was our waitress. The grilled oysters are 5/5 stars. Nicely grills with two pieces of toast.. I truly enjoyed it. My partner try to order the lamb. But surprisingly they were out at 6pm. He the. opted for the prime rib which is really good but according to him. It's on the thin side for $36. I ordered the fried ribs with the sides of Mac and cheese and the potatoes salad. The ribs batter were a little too thick to my liking. And I never received the potato salad. She forget the Mac and cheese which she brought to us later. That I just didn't want to bother her again after we have bother her for the drink menu and asked to fill our water twice. I truly like the concept of the restaurant. Their oysters selection was great. And their shared dishes or appetizers are great. However, I'm not sure I would come back for the ribs because I didn't really care for the fried ribs or maybe just wait until the hype dies down and try again..

    Double Wagyu Burger .. holy wagyu!!!  Amazing!!!  Side of fresh onion rings to boot!!

    Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing this restaurant is in every aspect!! My husband, daughter and I live in Charlotte (northeast) and ended up at BearWalrus while taking a trip to Miracle Park. We are unfamiliar with Rock Hill and while at the park, hubs googled RESTAURANTS NEAR ME and this one came up and ... OMGOODNESS!!! We went back 3 days later to enjoy again. Nothing in Charlotte even comes close!!!

    Philip, Porter and to entire team absolutely are crushing the restaurant scene in RH. Space is inviting, warm and engaging. Food is, well , in a couple words, Michelin quality. Well done team!!!!

    Menu (Sept. 2025)

    Was stoked to hear that a Texas-style bbq place was coming to Rock Hill. I lived in Texas for a decade and have been to John G's and Lewis in the Carolinas since transplanting. I tried BearWalrus and thought it was good, but not great. Sliced brisket was solid. I ordered both lean and fatty; it had a good Texas style bark. The lean cut was almost overcooked or right on the edge of being too dry. It was good, but not John G's level. On the side, I had mac and collards, which stood out. I had to ask for sauces and pickles, the latter of which should be automatically included on a plate of Texas brisket to cut the richness. I had room for dessert, and tried the Maple Bourbon Cake. It was dense, but the flavor was good. The icing had a bit of salt in it, which was unique. When I went in mid-September, it looked like picnic tables were in the process of being added to the patio out front. That's a great idea, because the smoker is *inside* the restaurant. I dined at the bar near the smoker. My eyes stung by the time I left and I smelled like a campfire. It's definitely smoky in there despite the ventilation. I would add a fifth star if the ventilation was better.

    Beef Ribs
    Ethan L.

    Came here a little after it opened hoping some crowds would die down but the wait was like over an hour long. We waited since it was my birthday dinner and I wanted to try. The tables are set up in an interesting way all connected. While everyone working was very friendly and hospitable it was very slow. We were here for almost 2 hours or more. I found the food to be delicious. I had the special beef ribs and side of Mac n cheese and collard greens. The beef ribs were gigantic and were extremely good. Seasoned well and so tender. The mac n cheese was very good but the collards were not to my liking. They were more sour than I like. Had a couple onion rings from wife and they were amazing. I hope the wait times go down and the organization gets better under control but we will definitely be back for the food

    We tried Bear Walrus this weekend, and we were thrilled with the food options. Our server, Michael, was fantastic! The ambiance is cool & the seating is nice to be able to chat with your neighbors. We will definitely be visiting again!

    Food and service is great but they need to work on the speed of the bar drinks. Been in here twice and that's my only complaint.

    I visit Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails at least once or twice a month. The service is great, the food…read moreis excellent, and the prices are fair. I am usually surprised at how easy it is to get a seat. It's a big space which helps but the food is so good. I always anticipate having to wait. Unless there is a sporting event next-door, I can usually find a place at the bar or get a table. If you sit at the bar, hope Mariah is there. She makes a good cocktail and she's incredibly sweet. Food is consistent and very good. Their smoked wings must be the best in town get the lemon pepper rub in the house made blue cheese dip. You won't regret it. The blackened chicken Caesar salad is also a huge hit. I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!

    We arrived at an odd hour, hungry and tired from a day of driving from early morning until about 3…read morepm. We were a little confused as to how to enter the restaurant, but I chalk that up to being tired. The space is wide open and airy, with large windows and skylights. The restaurant was nice and clean, save for something that was splashed on the wall in our booth - but it's a restaurant. There's going to be little picky things here and there and I'm sure it was wiped down by the end of the day! Our hostess was also our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu. I took her suggestions at every turn and did not regret it. We started off with the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts app and let me tell you - I could've eaten that as my entire meal. They are SO delicious and I'll be dreaming of them until I can return to Rock Hill. Holy cow, they were good - crispy on the outside, loaded with flavor and just enough spice to give the sweetness a little bite. So good. My husband had the country fried steak and he said it was very good. Not the best he's ever had, he said, but good enough. He wished there'd been more steak and less crust, but the flavor was right on. They were out of the salt and pepper flounder, so I changed my order to the ranch chicken. Ummmm....excuse me. Who says not to order chicken breasts at restaurants? The portion size is SO generous and the chicken is SO DELICIOUS that I, the girl who rarely bothers to take leftovers, boxed up what was left and brought it back to my hotel and ate it as a midnight snack. The grilled zucchini served on the side of it was delicious. If I ever get back, I'll ask if I can skip the potatoes in favor of more of that zucchini! We didn't really have room for dessert, but when we heard about the warm banana pudding, we were curious. DO NOT SKIP THIS DESSERT. If you're a banana pudding fan, this will blow your mind. Absolutely incredible! It's both warm and cool at the same time, caramelized bananas and a torched meringue topping were bowl-licking delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
