She's the kind of person who makes you feel genuinely welcome, and the establishment should feel very lucky to have her there. Kudos to her and to the entire staff. It's very obvious that the whole team works wonderfully together. Thank you so much, Miyah, for making me and the two little ones feel so welcome

First time visit to Black Bear Kitchen. I initially went for the baked potato, but unfortunately…read morethey were out for the day. So I made a pivot and got the street tacos. The tacos did not disappoint. The meat was seasoned and cooked nicely. The tacos were flavorful. My husband had the hamburger and he said that it was good. You can get two sides and a drink for an additional $6.50. Which makes it perfect for sharing. We picked potato salad and collard greens. The collards would be better if cooked with some smokey meat and pepper vinegar. We had excellent service from start to finish. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Two different rooms you can sit in. The only downside was the noise level. Between the volume of the music and the people playing connect four outside it was a little loud. I will keep Black Bear Kitchen on my list to visit again.

We stopped in for lunch today and shared because we weren't really that hungry…read more We got the KALENAS STREET TACOS. It was made with brisket, pickled onion, cotija cheese, cilantro for $10. It was good and had good flavor. The brisket actually tasted like roast beef instead of smoked brisket... We were just expecting more of a brisket taste instead. We both loved the other ingredients on the tacos and thought it was an excellent choice. We thought about eating outside but while I was sitting there waiting for my wife to come back out with our lunch I noticed the music coming from the Black Bear was competing with the Tap Room business outdoor seating area speakers as well. Both were loud and playing two different songs and different genres! Very annoying and not enjoyable for outside seating. At least be playing the same music! We decided to eat inside instead.

Here's a clean and engaging review you can post or share:…read more Willie's BBQ in Montverde - 10/10 I had the saucy BBQ rib tips with two sides--macaroni and cheese and collard greens--and I've got to say, this was some of the best BBQ I've had in Florida. The rib tips were tender, packed with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection. I tried two sauces: a yellow BBQ and a traditional sweet BBQ. Both were spot on--bold, balanced, and not overwhelming. Just perfect. The collard greens had a nice smoky flavor and were cooked with smoked turkey, giving them that deep, comforting Southern taste. The mac and cheese was cheesy with perfectly cooked noodles (al dente), though I did have to hit it with a little salt and pepper from the packets--but still solid. This is a true mom-and-pop spot, and you can taste the care in every bite. Small place, big flavor. They hit it out of the park. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

It had been over five years since we had been back here at least assigned to give it another try…read more Arrived on a Sunday around 2 o'clock in the afternoon and it was very quiet inside. We were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and almost immediately after we were seated, we were greeted by her taking our beverage orders. I opted for the lobster grilled cheese with the kettle chips. The sandwiches were really big, but it was very delicious. The lobster is slightly chilled and they add Swiss and cheddar cheese to it. It was very tasty. The chips were good. I definitely could've done with less chips as it felt like they were overtaking the plate. My husband got the Texas wings. Which had the Texas dry rub with a honey glaze over them. Kind of gave you a spicy and sweet take. He said they were very tasty. Well seasoned and well cooked. He also got fries as his side and there is a dollar up charge for regular fries.

My friend specifically wanted a Brie Mac and cheese appetizer she had before. After ordering, they told us they were all out. They bought out chips with weird cheese sauce instead.

My friend's sandwich was inedible. The grilled chicken looked fine but tasted charred. It had such a burnt, smoky taste we couldn't stand it.

Most people go for the steak but I LOVE the salmon and tonight's was especially well prepared…read more Absolutely delicious. The kitchen manager, Mr Money (yes his real name) visited our table and he was a delight. He explained how they marinade the salmon for hours to achieve just that flavor. It was a smokey sweetness; not too soft, not too firm, tender, moist and every mouthful was wonderful. It came on a bed of rice which was flavorful, not overpowering and not over buttered (I hate greasy rice). This was perfect. It taste like a gourmet meal at an expensive restaurant. Our waitress, forgot her name, was a smiling, efficient, professional. I felt pampered; I really did! My guest had the steak and the smile on her face said it all. Honestly, if you are a salmon lover, try it. You won't be disappointed. Ambience? We were a bit early; about 5. Mostly an older crowd as is common for early dinner or traditional supper. It was open, friendly, lots of talking and laughing but not too loud to have a conversation. By the time we were leaving it was a younger group and lots of smiles and happy going around! Good, casual atmosphere. I didn't have a drink tonight but have had a cold brew in the past. Goes great with the burgers. All-in-all, a good time.
