The Baby Bear

Great tasting meat, well cooked and flavorful! Loved the Hush Puppies, Brisket and Ribs. Very clean restaurant. Great attentive service.

Cheese Curds
Karla S.

Oh. My. Gosh. I don't think I can add much more than what's already been said. This place is to die for. I had the food delivered to me, and it was beyond delicious. Warm, tasty, and great portion sizes. The family was raving about the food days after eating. The cheese curds are well made, as were the hush puppies. The baked beans had that smoky, bbq flavor and the ribs were seasoned to perfection. If you're looking for good southern food, this is it. We also ordered a guava cheesecake for dessert and I cannot emphasize just how delicious it was. Whoever's making these desserts is just as talented as the cooks making the food at Jimmy Bear's.

Found a new local spot to eat at. Wish I gave this place a try sooner. The food was deliciously amazing! The staff were very friendly. Since it was my first time eating here, they gave a few recommendations. The owner came over to my table and introduced himself. Everyone was extremely friendly. The portion size was more than enough and very fulfilling. Each table has a few different bbq sauces you can choose from. Didn't get a chance to stay for the entertainment but will most definitely try the next time. Will be back again for sure!

BLT with coleslaw
Dana S.

Wow! I had never eaten in St Cloud but was visiting a friend staying there. I consulted with Yelp and the reviews were spot on! The folks were friendly and service was exceptional. They have a full bar and love music (and apparently lots of other entertainment too!). THE FOOD - wow! We ordered a smorgasbord of items: teriyaki wings, cheese curds, fried pickles, BBQ pork sandwiches and BLT. Don't forget the free ribs with check in. We loved everything but the cheese curds and wings were award winners. The pickles were good but I've personally had better (I guess I am a snob and like more breading). The portions are HUGE - the photos don't show the entire portion - we dove in! We will be back!!!

We had take out: beef brisket sandwiches-- sliced not pulled. They gave us the meat in separate containers from the buns, which kept the bread from getting soggy. The beef was tender & properly marbled, but needed seasoning. There was a slight smokiness -- noticeable, but not overpowering. The three sauces (Carolina Mustard, Regular BBQ & slightly spicy BBQ) came in containers with the orders. The fries seemed homemade. A big plus these days. We'd go back!

Baked beans and fried green beans
Sara Y.

Great Yelp find! Nice southern hospitality service. We ordered a few things to share: Kids PB&J - super soft bread, looked delish! Loaded mr potato with pulled pork 3 little pigs - pulled pork and brisket wrapped in a biscuit and bacon, DELISH! Jimmychanga with brisket Boneless Buffalo bites, tots, baked beans, fried green beans, Mac n cheese There's a ton of options to try!

I have dined at the current location as well as the original one. I've done take out 3 or 4 times from the bigger new one. Really good bbq and sides. Nice selection of beers Today we did take out. Obviously the only option because of social distancing. We have been cooking a lot but also like to support our favorite restaurants while they struggle with reduced income and guests now. Except for the kitchen crew no one was wearing gloves. None of the employees out front was wearing a face mask. The 6 other guests ordering take out had masks. I won't be ordering takeout again unless this changes. All employees should be wearing gloves and masks. After bringing the food home and putting it in the oven for 10 minutes at 185 degrees we enjoyed the bbq. Beef back ribs were delicious. Burnt ends also good. Loved the spicey bbq.

My wings were cooked right to enjoy . Yes this place is a winner. My server Perrie was attentive and very informative. I will be back again to enjoy more good food. This place is also a comedy club every other weekend. Bonus, we get you check in on Yelp!

Brisket Benedict
Cindy R.

Breakfast was four stars but dinner was definitely five! The bbq beef ribs are a rare amazing find!!the fried green beans were the best ever! The corn pudding, wagyu beef chili, jalapeño cornbread and smoked macaroni and cheese were excellent. The adult milkshakes: butter pecan was superb. Service was quick and friendly! There's many beers and drinks available too.

Fried Green Tomato Benedict
Brittany H.

I've had Jimmy Bear's in the past at a backyard BBQ (catered). I'm in the Orlando area visiting family and we came here this morning for breakfast. I was surprised at how many options were available for someone like me (who doesn't eat meat). I ordered the Brisket Benedict (which is a standard Eggs Benedict w/ brisket and fried green tomatoes) without the meat. It was delicious! Just glancing around the restaurant, this is a great place to watch sports or come hear live music (they actually had a guitar player singing/playing while we were there). Our server was very pleasant, as well, and our food came out quickly. My hubby always makes sure he gets BBQ from here when we're in town. Now we can add them to the list for a nice breakfast, too.

The beef rib is to die for. Very meaty and tender. Their pork ribs are good. Best place in Osceola county.

Great service. All of the waiters were attentive and friendly…read more We ordered the Blackened Honey, Lemon Pepper, and Chipotle BBQ wings. The quality of the wings was excellent--very tender with just the right amount of flavor. The Lemon Pepper had a nice balance and wasn't overly lemony, which I appreciated. The Chipotle BBQ wings were very saucy in a good way, with a rich BBQ flavor. My favorite was the Blackened Honey. It had a great balance of sweet honey with a bold, peppery seasoning that gave it a nice kick. Overall, really solid wings and great service.

No complaints about the food itself, but the customer service was terrible…read more They messed up my order, and I had already driven 15 minutes away, then 15 minutes back to get it fixed. When I returned, they insisted I bring back the incorrect wings, which I did. I politely asked if, due to the inconvenience, I could keep the incorrect wings since they were just going to be thrown away anyway. Instead, the waitress snatched the wings out of my hand and told me to calm down, which was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. The manager didn't come speak to me until after the replacement wings were handed over. When I explained the inconvenience and how the situation was handled, he simply said "sorry, I can't help you" and walked away. No attempt to resolve the issue, no accountability, no courtesy. Again, the food wasn't the issue -- the service was rude, dismissive, and poorly handled. A little basic customer care would have gone a long way.

Where to start…read more... Food is AMAZING!!!! Super crunchy, so flavorful. I think this is my new favorite spot. I used to go to bbq chicken but this place blows the out of the water. Sorry but this is my new favorite Korean fried chicken spot! The service was incredible. The person who helped us was super attentive, kind, and extremely welcoming and helpful. They even gave us a little sample of the snow onions without us asking just for us to try it out and tbh it's worth the upgrade! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, friendly and just cozy in general. Super clean as well! HIGHLY recommend this spot. I am coming back asap!

92 Chicken did not disappoint!…read more The service was outstanding from the moment I walked in. The cashier greeted me and was super helpful, especially when it came to choosing flavors. He recommended the fan favorite Soy Garlic, and I'm happy I listened. I ordered the 8-piece boneless chicken and chose Soy Garlic and SWICY Garlic (yes, swicy ) with spring onions. Both were crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The Soy Garlic was definitely my fav. The SWICY Garlic was sweet and I didn't taste much garlic, but it was still good. The spring onions were fresh and added a nice savory bite. I was also curious about the snow onions since it had such great reviews, and they were nice enough to bring me a sample. Let me tell you... the snow onions had me in a chokehold ‍ If you love onions and fried chicken, THIS is your spot. Super flavorful and addictive. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well worth the hype. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and well-kept..perfect for a relaxed dine-in experience without feeling rushed.

Amazing portions (20 wings for $25), the perfect amount of sauce, extremely crispy wings, and tons of flavors. I was a little bit paralyzed by choice but went with the Steel City flavor and it was amazing. Also got some of the cheese, bacon, ranch fries and they were really good and a huge portion as well. Such a hidden gem. I wish I had more time to try many many more flavors. There is nowhere to sit inside, but you can make an online order really easily and they accept card online.

The staff were pleasant and service efficient. The ambiance was eclectic and small. An ATM machine was located onsite. It took a minute (about 30 minutes) before our order was ready. Tip: Call your order in ahead of time. The wings menu...was definitely what I was NOT expecting. They have a plethora of wing flavors that boggles the mind (Eye of the Tiger, Polish Hill Strangler, The Color Purple, Frank Sinatra just to name a few). They also have burgers, sandwiches, and hoagies in addition to salads and sides. Although the walk back to the hotel was a bop, our wings were still hot, fresh, and crispy. All in all, a great place for wings and we can't wait to come back and try one of the more unique flavors.
