We came opening weekend and let me tell you, be prepared to wait. But don't worry it's 100% worth the wait. We ordered The Rise and the Douglas. Both dishes were huge! The Rise comes as a biscuit sandwich with egg, cheddar cheese and this delicious black pepper aioli. The biscuit was by far the best part. It was huge, fluffy, and crunchy on the outside, exactly how you want a biscuit. I highly recommend adding a couple avocado slide as well for that extra factor. We also ordered the Douglas which was a beast for my partner to take down. He said it was delicious but by the end was beyond stuffed. For sides we ordered the pimento cheese grits and home fries. Don't let the picture of the home fries fool you, these were crunchy and well seasoned making them a must try! Overall they have very generous portions, so definitely make sure to bring your appetite! read more

Big Biscuits is correct! This weirdly located gem is worth the trek. The fluffy biscuit with honey is worth everything but while here grab eggs and meat to go with them. Hold the phone.. did it take me until here to mention the potatoes? Shame on me. The potatoes are why I keep coming back here as often as possible. They are seasoned to perfection and have just the right crisp. If you hate biscuits and despise potatoes then go ahead and stay home. Otherwise let the friendly waitstaff make your day with a delicious breakfast. read more

Bang for your buck here! You get soo much food, very flavorful and fairly priced. Sometimes the wait is really long if you get there when it's busy. 9/10 would recommend! read more

Big Bear Biscuits - Douglas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Highly recommend for brunch! My husband and I both ordered seasonal lattes that were delicious. I ordered the three biscuits and tried sausage, tomato, and chicken étouffée gravies. The biscuits are massive! Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I can't recommend the chicken étouffée enough. I might get all 3 in that gravy if I ordered it again. The prices are a little high but the portions are huge, so I could have definitely shared this entree. My husband got chicken and waffles and it was great! Delicious crispy chicken. My 2yo got the 3 pancakes and she ate almost all of them. We went around 10 on a Sunday and it was a short 10 minute wait for seating but a little of a long wait for food. By the time we left it was packed! read more

Big Bear Biscuits - Three biscuits with left: chicken étouffée, right tomato, back sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

In between 3 and 4 stars. The flavors are good but the biscuits should be incredible if that's the name of the place. The best was the Pig Newton, sweet and savory. The chicken on the son of a biscuit had a lot of breading, very crunchy. Wedge was good I'd get it again. read more

I really wanted to love this place. A very popular tick-tocker recommended this restaurant and I respect his reviews. I think that they where having an off day. We went to brunch here on Sunday November 20th around 10am. When we arrived I could tell that there was a wait because we seen lots of people in their cars. At first I thought that it might be closed or that they where waiting on it to open up but no, they where just waiting for a table . We walk into the restaurant and up to the hostess stand. The young man was busy on the phone ( probably calling people to tell them their table was ready) so we waited for him to finish. Once he got off of the phone he just stared at us. My husband says "oh, are you ready?" and he just spreads his hands like Vanna White as to imply "go ahead" lol. We had no idea he was done with what he was doing and he didn't great us so we didn't know what to say lol. I said to him "we would like a table" and he said "ok there's a wait........." I was like, "ok how long is the wait?" He says "idk any where between 15 to 40 minutes " . I just giggled because what a wired time line lol. We quickly understood why. There cleaning crew or table busboy had quit that day without notice and left them under staffed. While we could see empty tables no one was getting a seat in a timely manner because they couldn't get the tables cleaned. There wasn't any seating for customers who where waiting and everybody was waiting and just standing in the way of the servers and the door traffic. At one point an employee asked us to move to make it easier for the servers to get though and we then where basically in the way of the door traffic. I fault horrible and in the way so we just went to the car to wait. Once we got the call that a table was ready we went back in and the hostess ( same young man from early) took us to a table that hadn't been cleaned. I asked if someone would be around to clean the table and he said that their help had quit. I politely informed him that I didn't wait 60 minutes for a dirty table ( because they could've sit me 30 minutes ago at a dirty table). So he took us to another that had been wiped down but had no condiments ( out of sugar and out of salt). I didn't complain because I don't need either of those things to be honest lol. Our waitress come over and she seemed overwhelmed. She didn't great us or share her name, she just took our drink orders. I could tell that she was overwhelmed, so to make things easier for her we gave her our food order as well so that she wouldn't have to make a trip back. I got a mimosa flight. It came with blood orange, regular tang orange, beet, and strawberry lemonade juice and a small bottle of Champagne. Two of the glasses had dried food on the inside and I informed the waitress. She removed the glasses and brought me new glasses and juice. We waited an additional 40 minutes for our food. I got the 3 bears biscuits and gravy. I don't eat pork so whenever there's an opportunity to get biscuits and gravy made with other ingredient options other then pork I take it. The biscuits and gravy consist of sawmill,chicken and mushrooms gravy. The size of the biscuit was insane . They are light and fluffy and delicious. I could've just had warm biscuits and apple butter and been just as happy. The serving size of the food was huge. I couldn't eat it all and ended up taking food home that I had for lunch later that day. You can tell that they where struggling on this day, being sort on staff is had on the people who come in. Not only are they doing their job but also the job of the others who didn't . I think that this place has the potential to be a great local spot. It's clearly very popular. I hope to go back and have a better experience. read more

Came on a Saturday morning around 10am and it got busy quick but the wait was worth it for the food. I was thoroughly impressed. I had the Petting Zoo and the flavors were fantastic. read more

Big Bear Biscuits - The Petting Zoo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Food was GREAT! The petting zoo especially was extremely good. We'll definitely be coming back. We arrived at 10:00 on a Sunday and they were not terribly packed but the wait staff seemed extremely busy anyway. As of which we had to wait a long time for our waitress to give us drinks, and we had to remind her halfway through the meal that we'd ordered lattes. BUT, everyone was extremely nice about it so not the end of the world. Will be returning in the future to try more of the menu, and would recommend others do the same! :) read more

Got the Douglas with a side of fruit. Also ordered the campfire latte. The entree was good and filing. The biscuits were so yum. So soft and moist. The sandwich was huge, def a fork and knife type. The latte was good but I didn't understand why they were in tall paper to go cups halfway filled instead of regular glasses. Be prepared to spend some time here. We were lucky arriving at 10am on Saturday and getting seated right away (party of 6). Shortly thereafter you could see a line forming. There was no rush to order or leave. It took a while for everything. They were busy. Lots of kids here. Outdoor seating available. Good selection of fruits. Home fries were ok. read more

Food is fire, no qualms there. However, they are under staffed and it shows. Took about 70 minutes to get our order and coffee refills were few and far between. read more

Service was just okay. At first told us we couldn't have chocolate milk because we are adults.... But the food is AMAZING!!!! read more

Go for the biscuits and then go back again and again. So many variations of breakfast biscuits and different jams or jellies. Maybe you can even skip the longer wait times, at least we did on a recent Sunday brunch time. read more

Awkward experiences and opening growing pains were made up with in biscuits! I did not have high expectations for the biscuit but was blown away with how tasty it was! I'm interested to try more sandwiches now because of it! The potatoes were also devoured and I won't be sharing next time. One of our orders came out incorrect and I assume management was quick to make it right and let us keep the incorrect dish. The weird part was our waitress seemed just so confused, I don't think they fully grasped the menu yet. I ordered a campfire latte but without coffee because a hot chocolate with a toasted marshmallow sounded fun for my child. They couldn't understand why I was ordering a latte without coffee so when I tried to order a hot chocolate, they said they didn't offer that. She wanted to make it work and had to ask the bar multiple times if they could even make a latte without coffee. I wanted to pay full price just no coffee in it. Whatever ended up coming out to us was very watery. But hey my son was excited for the $4 toasted marshmallow we got him read more

Look, I haven't even eaten here yet, but my dad has brought home leftovers... LEFTOVERS PEOPLE.... And it's still baffles me how great the B&G is. That's all for now. Updates once I get there in a week or so. read more

Great place for breakfast and lunch. The waitstaff was wonderful as were the fresh and tasty meals.

After hearing about Big Bear from a few friends I stopped by today for a late breakfast, and it lived up to the recommendation. Waitress was great, coffee was pretty good, and food was awesome read more

After our trip to Asheville NC, I had a hankering for fried green tomato. We went to Big Bear on Saturday morning to scratch that itch. It was a pretty long wait to be seated, but its a Saturday so we were ok walking around the business park until we were called. When we eventually were seated it took about 30 minutes to settle in. We were waiting for water and the ability to order for most of that time. After ordering our biscuits we waited another hour and a half before they arrived. We thought about leaving three times to grab a chipotle or quick service option. We were hungry. When the food eventually came it tasted good and was a huge portion. But it was not enough to make up for the service. There were at least four staff members crowded around the host stand instead of serving guests. Most staff looked lost and confused. Perhaps they were in training and the next time I try big bear the food will get to properly speak for itself. read more

I live so close and had no idea this was here! For a group of 4 we had to wait about 30 min which isn't bad for a weekend brunch. Once we were sat the service was pretty slow but it was a packed dining area so that was kinda expected. The food, however, was amazing. I was so impressed as was everyone else in my group. We already have plans to go back. Their jams are wonderful and go so well with the giant biscuits, you have to try them! read more

Poor and slow service. No bussing of empty tables. Food looked thrown together on the plate. Staff was nervous for their jobs as Prodigy just closed and they have a shared location. Very disappointed as this was our first time Sunday after church and we were looking for a new go to location. There were only 3 of us. Had to literally asked for each and every water and coffee refill. There were plenty of people willing to stand in line to get in so they had better get it together quickly or this ain't gonna work. read more

You better come hungry!! These biscuits are monster and absolutely delicious. They were super soft on the inside and had such great texture on the outside.

I went to big bear biscuits for the first time today and erma took care of me and my boyfriend. It was incredibly refreshing to be served by someone who was so hardworking and who acted like she loved her job. The food was mouthwatering and delicious. I got the hibernation and it looks delicious and tastes even better. Their lattes are out of this world and I can't stress to you enough how much this place is a must eat. Best breakfast place I've been in a LONG time. I'll definitely be coming back in the near future. read more

One of, if not, the best fresh breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! Also, a great latte. Awesome and friendly service. Cute decor and vibe. Highly recommend this place. read more

Visited today for the first and last time. Service was slow, I guess the servers phones were much more important than actually delivering orders. When the food finally arrived my meal was bland, mushy, greasy and disappointing. My biscuit which you would believe to be something special showed up underbaked and sticky. Followed by the discovery of a long hair on my plate. With so many choices of where to have breakfast next time I will make a better choice. read more

Wow. The biscuits being good were an understatement. Worth every penny I spent here, I got the bacon fried chicken buiscuit sand which.

The breakfast was so good and friendly service!! Had the flight of mimosa's that is awesome!!!

i'm not exaggerating when i say this is my new favorite restaurant in the indy area. as someone who Loves biscuits and missed them dearly here in Indy, i couldn't be happier after my trip today. i do want to start by reminding folks they have only been open for two months, so they could use some patience and grace as they continue to learn (because some of y'all's reviews are brutal and show not everyone has worked in food service before). there was about a 30 minute wait, but we sat outside of the restaurant next door and it was no problem. everyone was super nice, from the hostess to our server. the head chef even came and checked to see how our meal was! and it was i got the petting zoo and was Blown away. the biscuits were perfect, all the elements went together, i loved everything about it. i got the side of pimento grits and they were honestly the best grits i'd ever had (i do love pimento cheese). i also got the björn latte and it was Definitely worth the price. my partner got the sweet and savory biscuit sandwich with a side of mac n cheese and also loved his meal! he doesn't like biscuits and said he would give their biscuits a 4 out 5. he liked the chicken but did say the sauce was pretty strong. we both Loved his mac n cheese and were surprised to see it wasn't an entree because it was homemade and Amazing. they have a vegetarian protein and a vegetarian gravy, and like 6 total vegetarian options! i was super impressed with how many options i had. it was also super affordable for all we got. and they also had cocktails if you like to brunch with alcohol! cannot recommend this enough, i'm already looking forward to coming back and trying even more read more

The food was pretty good. I've had better biscuits before, but the restaurant itself is what turned me off to this place. The bathrooms were the worst I've ever seen. There are gas stations I've seen that have nicer bathrooms. Had I not already eaten my food, I wouldn't have been able to eat after seeing the inside of the bathroom. The inside of the restaurant wasn't super clean either. Again, service was great and the food wasn't terrible. It was just the overall cleanliness that was a no go for me, unfortunately. read more

Biscuits are definitely "Big". Service was slow but friendly. Little bit of a wait for food and Bloody Mary's which were okay but nothing special. First visit for us. Worth checking out. read more

The Son of a Biscuit is a GAME CHANGER! A must order! The potato wedges and the pimento cheese grits are both great sides. The biscuits are huge. The strawberry jam is good, with a touch of basil in it. A variety of vegetarian options with impossible sausage and different gravy selections. It can be hard to spot from 96th street, so it's on the side of the Prodigy Burger Bar. read more

Best biscuits and gravy in town!! Welcoming staff and quick service. Family or group friendly.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!!!! I ordered the bear paws and they were raw a safety concern issue. Very dangerous. I came to the store to inform the manager and there was no concern for the service and safety. Called the health department. The cinnamon roll was dry and the order was still incorrect. Very disappointed! read more

Service was slow. Asked for spoons for coffee. Instead of bringing 2 she just brought 1. Had to asked for cream and sugar. Server not too friendly. Seems like she didn't want to be there. Water was spilled on floor at another table. Instead of bring the mop and bucket, the server was walking back and forth, dripping water as she walked. She cleaned the tables with a rag. Not sure how that disinfected anything. Good portion size and very good flavor. read more

Yummy food, large portions. Waffles are particularly good and the petting zoo breakfast is out of this world! Highly recommend.

Great breakfast with fresh food, place is very popular so don't be surprised to wait some.

Big Bear Biscuits offers hearty breakfast & lunch fare with tons of options for everyone! I visited on opening day and it exceeded my expectations. The biscuits are fluffy and delicious, and the menu is huge with biscuit sandwiches, biscuits & gravy, waffles, grits, salads, and more. The portions are large and the food can be a bit heavy, so I loved that they offered sides of slaw & fruit plus a full menu of fresh juices to balance out the heaviness. The beet-orange juice was delicious! I also tried the Campfire Delight from their signature coffee menu. It was so good and topped with a toasted marshmallow! Big Bear is family friendly and has a kids menu. They have tons of vegetarian options including vegetarian gravies and offering Impossible sausage for biscuit sandwiches. They offer indoor and outdoor seating (the patio is cute!). Basically, it seems like this new brunch spot has thought of everything and will be winning over a lot of people. read more
