Carrie was our server, we ordered a beer fried pickles, cuban sandwich with onion rings, and the A1 Burger with sweet potato fries. Service was great. Atmosphere was pretty noisy and it wasn’t clear if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait. Burger was real solid and cooked perfect medium as ordered. The burger bun was SO good. Cuban was okay. Not enough ham, and the pulled pork is mediocre. Not at all a bad sandwich, I’m just picky about my cubanos. Sweet potato fries are thin, almost shoe string style and not super crunchy. Would probably go for the regular fries next time. Onion rings were good. Overall a very solid option if you’re in pentwater and want a tasty dinner. Our tab was about $60 after tip.

We loved the atmosphere and the menu. The pretzel with bee cheese spread and prime rib dipper are both delicious.

We love the Brown Bear! Always get fantastic service and the best burgers on the planet! The "Notorious Bear Burger" is a must try! 1 Pound of the best beef, cooked to your liking, Go hungry, this thing is mammoth! We've tried a few other menu items and desserts, never a disappointment. they also have a good selection of drinks & beers. We love the atmosphere as well, feels like your hanging out in a hunting lodge. like a hidden log cabin in the mountains. Pentwater is a beautiful town and I think the Brown Bear is a big part of that. it's located right in the center of town and within walking distance to the shops, marina & waterfront park!
