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.

BBQ Nachos

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.

Average overpriced BBQ. Owner is arrogant and rude. Would not recommend. Check out Granny's in downtown St Cloud area. Much better.

Came here a ways back but finally doing a review and boy do they deserve it. Everything about this…read moreplace was phenomenal (aside from their tiny parking lot).The parking is a little tricky but well worth trying to get a spot because the food is delicious here. Tiny hole in the wall but once you're inside there is a very nice amount of seating, both tables and a barstool area to sit at. I placed an order and proceeded to sit at the bar area and wait for my food. Once it came out (super fast despite how many people were there), I understood why the sandwiches here are a little on the pricier side. The Ya-Mon which is jerk chicken, sweet plantains, pork rinds, jalapeno pesto, mango jam, gouda, jerk lime mayo, was heavenly. All the flavors blended in perfectly and the bread was so soft. The lime mayo was outstanding! It was about $16 and we'll worth every penny. The staff was super friendly and got everything cooked and sent out to each table very quickly. I will say if you come here during peak times, be ready to take the order to eat in your car or somewhere else because the tables filled up insanely fast while I was here!

This is a solid spot! Its not spectacular, and their food is kind of heavy, but when you're in the…read moremood for something like that it really hits the spot. The sandwiches are really creative and actually taste good which says a lot - I feel like most places with this style over-do it. Kind of reminds me of New York City bodega subs but with a twist. Beer selection is solid too, plenty of options to pair with whatever sandwich you may get. Makes for a good sit down lunch with a beer. I do wish their patio had more coverage though, great little outside seating area but often the sun is beating down on you and that sucks.

I have been wanting to try this spot for a while after hearing such great things. We stopped by for…read morelunch and had the tastiest sandwich and flatbread. The quality of meat and cheese and subtle sweetness of the balsamic glaze mixed with the fresh arugula was out of this world. And the texture of the fresh bread was perfection. The super thin pepperoni on the flatbread were so delicious and the sauce had a subtle sweetness flavor. There were tons of options I can't wait to try again and a bakery case full of treats. They serve breakfast too which looked amazing. We especially enjoyed the vibes on the outdoor sidewalk seating with Italian music playing as we enjoyed our food. Because this spot is in the historic downtown area of Clermont, street parking is your best bet and there is a public parking lot a short walk away. Will be coming back again and again to this great business.

Excellent Italian deli in downtown Clermont. For my first meal here I ended up sharing a turkey…read moresandwich with my brother who does not eat pork where because of this the sandwich was tad on the basic side for my taste. Having said that, the sandwich was still well-made and quite tasty where all the ingredients were fresh and the bread was still warm and appeared to be fresh baked in house. Nice! If I was eating this sandwich by myself, I would've asked for bacon on the sandwich, which definitely would have made it a top shelf turkey sandwich in my opinion. Being an Italian deli, the majority of the sandwiches do use pork of one kind or another where they looked and sounded quite tasty with a number of house specialties on the menu. The next time I am here, I will definitely make sure to order one of their specialty sandwiches to give this business a much fairer assessment and probably the fifth star that I so wanted to give.
