Stopped in here for a quick lunch while visiting Eagle River. The place is decorated very cute with the honey bears - even the restroom. There is a small bar and a dining room. Other patrons included families and retirees. Service was friendly and prompt. My dining companion had the BBQ sandwich with fries and a pickle. The BBQ was very tender and complimented by a good sauce. The portion size was big with a ton of fries. Plan for leftovers or consider sharing. I had a bowl of their chicken dumpling soup, which was served with crackers. I loved the soup and the hearty dumplings. I would definitely order this again. Give this place a try! read more

Too greasy. Feels like grease was not hot enough. Cheese curds were awful. Walleye was good quality , but very poorly cooked. Didn't like the beer batter. read more

I had horrible experience at Honey Bear. Our family patronized the restaurant during summer months for several years. Upon arriving in town at 5pm we called Honey Bearto see if they are open. Person told me last seating is 6:30pm . We arrived at 6:05pm. The person remembered I had called but said "the kitchen said seating was closed for the evening " They would not seat us! Person was very rude! They lost a customer who patronized restaurant for many years! read more

The vibes, drinks, and food were good. Our server was rude and rushed us out of there. Despite the good food and drinks and an ambiance I didn't mind, service is what ties everything together and that aspect of my experience was horrible. If I was rating on the service alone, it would be one star. read more

We are from out of town. When we pulled up to the restaurant it was packed so we knew it had to be good! We walked in, and it was a little hot in there. But, our server was great. Our food did take a while but we didn't mind. The salad was great and my fiancé enjoyed his sandwich! It was a good experience read more

We stopped in on a rainy Friday night and the place was packed. We waited about 20-30 minutes for a table, part of which was due to the crowd and part due to staffing levels. When we got seated our drink and food orders got taken right away. All 3 of us ordered walleye fish fry. The food came out within 5 minutes. Hot and delicious. I had potato salad as a side which was good. My wife had French fries which were pretty standard. Brother in law had cottage cheese. It was a great north woods dining experience read more

Super busy at 4:45 on a Friday but the fish fry was fresh and tasty. We liked both the walleye and the cod. Get the pickle fries and cheese curds! You'll thank me later. Decent Old Fashioned and fun bar vibe while we waited for our table. read more

Not a huge dining room and if a group more than 4 expect to wait. Only one server but she did a great job handling tables. Food was good and would recommend the walleye as well as the soups. Kids menu has the normal entrees for $5. There is a 3.5% fee for using a credit or debit card. Also it does appear to be a bears bar.... read more

The more I eat here the better I like it! Felicia is simply awesome and how do I wish I had her memory!!

The four of us went to the honey bear for dinner on Saturday and had chicken. We all agreed the worst chicken dinner we have had. The new us listed the four parts and no none received the correct chicken Parts. I received 2 small legs, a wing and small breast. The menu also stated receive coleslaw was included, but no coleslaw. When I asked about the coleslaw they said no one ate it so they no longer included it! Big disappoint for the price. Well no one ate the coleslaw and now I am never going to eat their chicken either. They have to much business and don't Care about the customers! read more

Don't pass this one up! We have been several times for their fish fry and old fashioned. This time we stopped in the afternoon for a few drinks and appetizers. The Bloody Mary had the best garnishes, ever! It had a little bit for everyone, without being too much. I especially enjoyed the Brussel sprout and shrimp. We split the wings and bacon cheese fries. The wings were crispy and came with choice of sauce, we had the sweet chili. The fries were pretty standard, until they loaded them with nacho cheese and crispy bacon. Service at the bar was attentive and fast. This is still a favorite, but are adding it to our list of favorite bloody Mary's. read more

Oh that soup! They should sell their Chicken Dumpling by the bucket. Loved it! Huge homemade dumplings just like the ones my mom used to make. The Honey Bear Inn looks a lot like many bars in the middle of the woods in Northern Wisc. This one however has pretty great food. Not the biggest bar. Maybe a dozen seats, but they do have a dinning room that is attached that has a handful of tables, along with a few in the barroom. I can only imagine this place can get packed during the higher tourist season. Apparently a weeknight in mid-April is a great time to go, because I sat right down and had my soup within minutes. Also ordered ribs, they took about 15 mins to prepare. The ribs were very good and very messy. They were the type that you had to pick up the bone to eat... so your hands and face are going to get a bit sticky. I would suggest some wet naps to help with this issue. read more

We went for Friday fish fry; came pretty early and the wait was only about 20 minutes for the 3 of us. Had a Bloody Mary while we waited, and the garnish was excellent! Fish fry was super crispy and the cole slaw was well seasoned. I was surprised by the high price for cod and wish they'd had more potato choices, but we still enjoyed. read more

Friday fish fry is the best in the area. No place to sit on Friday, come early . We ended up taking our fish back to our rental , wow.

Nice atmosphere in the dining and bar area and very nice staff. The menu items we have tried were delicious and very generous. This time I had the Eagle River salad which was wonderful and my friend had a burger with fries. She loved it and liked the addition of coleslaw. read more

The food is great I love the place and the flowers the Bar has some gambling machine in the bathroom is nice. I would give this place a five out of 10,000. read more

Now THAT'S a Bloody Mary! Stumbled upon this gem while on vacation. Unassuming from the outside, typical dive bar on the inside. I couldn't believe my eyes when my Bloody Mary came out! I enjoyed every nibble and couldn't resist a picture to show its size. Can't wait to go back this year! read more

Been coming here since 1986 when on vacation Had our usual walleye dinner and shrimp dinner. They no longer have cole slaw. Also please be aware if you use your debt card you will be charged a fee the same as if you use a credit card. (At least I was) read more

Carried out on a slow Saturday afternoon. Staff was kind and helpful and food was ready right when they'd estimated on the phone. Fun bar space inside and would be a good spot to get a beer and relax. Food was just okay. Typical bar food. Fish sandwich was a little sloppy but flavor was good overall. Italian beef was basic and a little dry. Solid fries. Onion rings didn't travel as well carrying out. Ruben was underwhelming. Didn't have anything negative to say about the place, just not one we will prioritize going back to. Solid lunch spot and a better destination for a cold drink after a fun day on the water/trails. read more

I feel this established presence in WI and the community nearby has been dealt a bad blow. Long time owners have run this place into the ground. The staff seems absolutely shell-shocked and simple orders take close to an hour. I heard they just recently fired their best chef...so..good luck everyone. read more

This is a great place for lunch or dinner. Nothing fancy, but always good food. Their burgers are great and they always have good soup.

Love this place. Bloodies are da bomb. Fish fantastic. Reuben remarkable. Curds carefully crafted. Tried pudding shots for first time- priceless! read more

Solid local eatery and bar. Check out the walley special which is finger linking good. Brandy old fashions are to die for, ask for olives with it. read more

The portions are HUGE. The Bloody Mary serves as its own meal and should not be passed up. Two appetizers fed 3 people. We'd stop again if in the area. read more

Honey Bear is a great place to go for food and drinks. Burgers are good, fish fry is good, chicken sandwiches are good but my favorite item to eat there is the fish dejonge. Yum!! I definitely recommend this place! read more

Honey the best! Great food, great service. Has gotten a wee bit pricey compared to years past - but not out of line with anywhere else. Well worth it, the food is consistently good. read more

Still love this place. Even during quarantine. They did takeout of their famous bloodys !!! We ordered 2 bloodys to go. And the honey bear chicken sandwich (my favorite, it's amazing) as well as chicken tender meal. Didn't disappoint! We will continue to go back for the great drinks, amazing food, and wonderful up north atmosphere. read more

Great little place. Food was terrific, albeit a tad bit pricey--sandwiches are $15. But portions are big. Fried green beans, fried pickles, Reuben, chicken sandwiches were all great. As is par for the course for this area, bring cash to save the extra fees they tack on if you don't. read more

Man o man, great local low key establishment that could use extra help on Friday nights. We got here by boat, luckily found a spot on the single dock, but at 3:59 we walked up to find a waiting line for dinner.. 30 to start and now as I write 40 mins later is a 1hr to 2hr wait. Guess, be prepared. ? Update to follow on dinner results, but can definitely say staff is friendly and doing their best but under staffed. read more

We had Friday fish, Val had the cod, and I the walleye, both had great breading, very tasty. We both likes the walleye better than the cod, but both were good. read more

Great salad. Great service. One of the only restaurants open in Eagle River on Tuesday it seems. I would definitely go back.

Have been reading some good things about this place so we decided to give it a try on a Thursday afternoon lunch. What a great choice we made. Deb our server and bartender was extremely awesome. Bloody Mary was awesome with a great amount of garnishes. Also ordered the beer battered walleye plate. That was so delicious! Definitely coming back here when in town. read more

Great service! Great Bloodies! You won't be disappointed. We tried four places before we found somewhere open for Bloodies on a rainy Thursday. The bartender, Austin, was super friendly and his Bloody Mary was a work of art. We also had the yummy cheese curds and onion rings. Fun time, you should try this place. read more

Honey Bear Inn - Best bloodies ever! - Seafood Near Me - Eagle River, Wisconsin

Thee best cheese curds can be found here. And I love that the fish fry is everyday! I would consider the Honey Bear a little spend because you pay 7.99 for the curds, and even though they are amazing, the amount you get is little disappointing. Also, coming from Minneapolis, I can get what I would consider one of the better burgers in the Midwest for $12 and the burgers here are all around the same price. They are good, but nothing to sing home about. Over all though, it's a great up north atmosphere and the service was great and the food was still ver good. Recommend stopping in!! PS - the blooodies - woaaaaah!! Almost a meal in and of its self. read more

Haven't had the food yet but i can say the bathroom gets a rating of 8.1 out of 10, fixtures were new vanity was in good condition, handicapped bars for when you've had too much to drink. Reasons for 8.1 floor could have been better, LVP is cracking and there's an unfloored section in the entrance to the men's rooms. Great restroom experience, would recommend. read more

Great place to eat and enjoy the area! Service was excellent! It has been a while since we visited, but always enjoy the stop!

Awesome fish fry, lightly breaded walleye and haddock - spectacular presentation with the bloody Mary , Corrine was excellent - always there if we needed her even though she was super busy. read more
