Rib Mountain Scramble
Dave L.

So much good stuff. Nice building, easy parking, nice system to handle the big crowds and solid service. Just needs a bit of work executing everything at once. We went on a busy Sunday morning. It was nice to spend our 30 minute wait in our vehicle. When our table was set, we received a text. When we entered the restaurant, we were immediately seated. The menu is great. Lots of the standards but a nice selection of non-traditional breakfast choices and also a number of lunch-forward options. If you are looking for a restaurant devoted to working with local producers, this appears to be your place. I ordered a Bloody Mary. It was very good and came with a nice assortment of garnishes. Our "fancy" coffee drinker said his drink was one of the best he ever had. When our meals arrived they were generally as expected. However, one diner had sausage links that were just warm. My Chefs Biscuit and Gravy had good flavor but the chicken breasts were overcooked and thus pretty dry. The biscuits were thick, dense and not very tasty. I didn't complain because the restaurant was very busy and we didn't have many visits from our server. Our fellow diner, who had the prime rib Benedict, had ate it on a previous visit. He called it a 10 out of 10. Said he would get it on every visit. Overall, great concept and pretty solid execution. Just a little bit of polish and I think it would be a 5 star. Definitely willing to pay it another visit.

Love the funky ski bear decor. The food came in huge portions. Very accommodating for gluten free or dairy free options. There is comfortable seating and Friendly service.

My biscuit and gravy breakfast half-order.

I stopped here for breakfast during a recent trip to Wausau. I had their biscuit and gravy breakfast with a cup of coffee. I got there around 7am on a Thursday and was seated immediately by a pleasant server. My food arrived within five or so minutes and I dug right in. The biscuit was very thick and fluffy, not like the denser ones I was used to in the south. This is a good thing! it soaked up the gravy nicely and the hand-breaded chicken breast that topped the biscuit was juicy and complemented the meal nicely. The gravy was a tad salty but not overly so. I was glad I only had the half-order! The coffee was good without being too foo-foo. A great start for my day.

Bright and clean, breakfast and lunch faire. We loved everything we got! Prompt service. Large restaurant with booths and tables. Near Rib Mountain. Many vegan options! The vegan bowl was quite spicy - you've been warned.

Chorizo scramble

Needed a place to brunch at while on our way south. Found this place which is just off of 51. It had high reviews in Yelp and we found that they are well deserved. From entering the door where several hostesses were ready to seat you, to paying the bill, everything was delightful. Seems everyone is working in sync and service was friendly and fast. The restaurant itself was bright and cheery and made you feel important, like they really wanted to make sure you were happy. We would stop back here in a heartbeat. And would come here often if it was closer to where we lived.

Come here on an empty stomach because the portions are LARGE. I was in the area and needed a place with wifi, power outlets, and breakfast food. Breakfast Bear was nearby so I decided to check it out. The menu is large and varied. I got an omelet and it came with hashbrowns and pancakes. Both were very good, though I had to take the pancakes to-go. Service was quick, which I appreciated.

Sweet Dutch Pancake
Madison A.

Breakfast bear is everything you'd want for a brunch spot. Breakfast cocktails, great selection of food with some very unique specialties. Very cute decor and comfortable atmosphere. Service was spot on as well! I ordered the breakfast potatoes and sweet Dutch pancake, so good! You will not be disappointed!

Classic Eggs Benedict

Stopped in for breakfast by myself a couple days ago. The restaurant is a little upscale looking from the usual places. I sat at the counter and ordered regular coffee which was very flavorful and a just right taste. They have the capability to make different types of coffee options also. The menu was interesting and had options that were a little different such as an eggs Benedict flight of 3 different offerings. I stuck with the classic and even still they added something on top, I think fresh sprouts which gave it crunch. Hash browns on the side were cooked to crispy perfection. The waitress was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Breakfast Bear.

Wisconsin (eggs benedict) bacon jam and beer cheese
Hunter F.

This was a great stop!! It was our first time and we will definitely be back. The building was very nice and clean. The waitresses were very welcoming and had quick service. The food was so yummy. My wife had a latte that was very good. The Wisconsin eggs benedict offered some unique flavors that I would highly recommend. My wife got the heirloom bear omelet that also was very good. Lastly, the bathrooms were super clean and had a very fun Dyson sink.

Chicken and Waffles

What a great place! Friendly people, great service and the food was off the chain. Lots of great options on the menu. We'll definitely be back!

I wasn't so sure about trying Era again. The last time I went there was when they first opened and…read moreI received my dish with a big hair in it. They replaced the meal but I was still very put off by this. I have not eaten at Era ever since. I thought about giving them another chance so we celebrated our anniversary with brunch. We arrived around noon and it was still pretty busy. It seems like they are always busy and there is no real "slow" period. We had to wait for a table but was only a 5 minute wait for the two of us. The waitress was very polite and upbeat which made the experience more enjoyable. I ordered the Nashville chicken & waffle and the girlfriend ordered the country fried steak. We also order the mimosa flight; the pineapple was our favorite. The order came decently fast for how busy it was. The food was amazing. The potatoes with the country fried steak were incredible. It was a good sized steak with a good amount of gravy; the perfect ratio of meat to gravy. The chicken and waffles were very good. I liked that the hot sauce came on the side. The waffle itself had very good flavor. The breaded chicken was cut into strips and there was a lot of chicken provided. The combo of the sweet waffle with the spicy chicken really hit the spot. I would say that Era changed my mind from my first experience. We had an enjoyable and delicious meal - we will be back.

First time trying this place on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm so glad they suggested it…read more Great late night diner vibe with "edgy" art on the walls and lots of counter seating. Service was also friendly and super efficient, with food made quickly. We were also happy to see there was a steady crowd coming in on a Tuesday night and the staff had no problems making sure everyone was taken care of. We started with the Taste of Manila Egg Rolls because we were so excited to see that something lived on from that restaurant which we miss. The egg rolls were quite tasty and the slaw and sauce just pulled everything together. For our main meals we had the M&O Melt with onion rings and the Red Hot Spicy Clucker with fries. I was happy the the spicy chicken sandwich actually had some heat to it and was full of flavor. The fries were also nicely fried. The M&O Melt was also tasty, and the onion rings were a favorite. Fried nicely so that they had a crunchy bite. It's always a plus when the onion doesn't come out all at once or separate from the breading. These were quite tasty and we definitely recommend the curry ketchup. It added a whole new flavor dimension to the onion rings and fries. Overall, can't wait to try some more menu items next time we're in the area. Definitely recommend.
