Uncle Bear’s Grill & Bar

They have been finally closed … This place had terrible service, very poor management and pathetic food.
**** Glad to hear Uncle Bears in Chandler is CLOSED !!! *********************

Ugh… So much potential. Great atmosphere but that’s about it. Food is crummy, beer choice is limited except for «uncle bears brews» which are craptastic… Nail polish remover flavored beer anybody? Please bring back the local brews so we have a reason to visit again! Dog friendly patio, is nice except for smokers…

I sprained my ankle walking a few feet from the door. I came in pain they seated me quickly. They noticed I was in pain got me an ice pack and offered tylenol.
The food was great. The service is incredible. I would give nothing but 5 stars. Get the Pork Lettuce Wraps they are good.

Thade is the man me and my girlfriend have been here numerous times and never gotten such immaculate service as when he was our waiter he went above and beyond expectations and did everything possible to comfort us from the moment we sat down until the moment we left as well as great beer and food suggestions just overall a great experience. Thade is the epitome of what uncle bears should be looking for during the hiring process and he is by far the best server we have encountered since moving from the east coast a few months ago five stars all around

Great place, great food and people. We’re holding our Pints for Paws «Yappy Hour» here to benefit Louie And Friends Foundation on Saturday 4 pm to 8 pm. Come see us and enjoy some great food and drinks for a great organization helping people with their dogs vet bills. There is a dog friendly patio and event.

Great normal bar food. Great area to watch sports. Good for kids and groups. Plenty of TVs.

We were thinking this would be an awesome place because we could bring the dog but from the second we got here I was ready to go. First off, you can smoke on the patio? I don’t enjoy eating my food with other people’s second hand smoke. Secondly, the food was less than mediocre. Needless to say, we won’t be eating here again. There are tons of other real cool places to take the pups!

Went here today to meet my husband on his lunch break. We came just after opening. When we first entered we kind of just stood there for a second. We were noticed then were told to sit where ever we wanted.
I got the herds burger and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich. I also got the pear cider they had.
Our waiter was very nice and we got our food pretty quickly. It was a pretty good meal. I was worried after reading the reviews but I disagree with them. Our food was yummy and the service was good as well.
I would definitely come back!

My sister and I came in for dinner on a whim last night. Our burgers were pretty tasty and our waiter — Justin — was nice and helpful. We LOVE the dog loving theme. Well have to be back for another try and I know my coworkers will love it!

Great food but the service really is lacking. Not sure if we will be back again. The place was not busy as we were there for a late dinner, but the waiter just did not seem like he wanted to take care of our dining needs. Pretty disappointed.

Awful service and to make matters worse they charge my bill to the wrong credit card. And then they claimed they fixed it and asked for my credit card to reprint out a receipt.
I wasn’t born yesterday (it’s an insult to my intelligence… They should’ve been honest to say that they needed my credit card to charge my account since they forgot to originally.

Food mediocre would be nice, but the food is less than that.
You can freeze inside with no heat and wind blowing in the wide open window at night or sit outside with a ton of smokers.
Used to like this place. What happened?

What? I thought for sure I had already written a review on this place! Ever since we moved out of Chandler, my hubby and I reminisce about their happy hour and their ICE COLD beers. I’m not exaggerating here. The beer is poured into a frozen glass and there is usually ice floating on the top of the beer when the server brings it to the table. If I sung a song like Maria Von Trapp, I’d have frozen glasses and ice cold beer as a few of my favorite things. I swear they have the coldest beer in the valley.
We love munching on peanuts before our meals arrive and looking at the adorable pictures of dogs on the walls all around us. We usually order the nachos, which are served on a huge platter. They are not traditional nachos, as they are about 10 large chips loaded with fixings instead of a huge pile of chips. They are much easier to eat than regular nachos. The sliders are great too.
If you are leaving the Paseo Vista dog park nearby and are craving an ice cold local brew, stop in to Bear’s and find a spot on the patio!

For a bar, I really enjoyed my food. The chicken sliders and the chicken salad were both very good. The place was a little dead which was surprising for a football Saturday and that made the fact that the service was slow all the more disappointing. I’ll certainly go back. Maybe next time I’ll bring the dog and see if he helps my service out!

Oh you chicken sliders you…
Yum.
So good. I love when chicken isn’t dry and disgusting. Their Chicken sliders are on point. French fries are definitely not as we fed our pit mix most of our french fries. Apparently my boyfriends meatball sliders were really good too. The bread on the sliders are amazing as well. That was kind of a shocker.
Service was decent enough nothing stellar and over the top.
We sat in the patio since we brought our dog with us. Our dog is prissy as hell and was not to thrilled that the waitress brought out a container to package your leftovers as his water bowl.
Overall it was A-​Ok. Not the most amazing food ever but it was fine.

One star for being dog friendly. One star for having a lot of TVs, and one star for being close to our house. The two stars that are missing? Food and service. Food is overpriced for being mediocre bar food. We have given the food several chances, and every time we remind ourselves «oh ya, remember how we said we would never order food again?» The only thing I have liked so far is the french onion soup.
That being said, they do have a really cool patio and lots of TVs. The downside is the service is sub-​par. As in, very slow. For being a ‘neighborhood hangout’ — it doesn’t seem like the employees are too concerned with getting to know the patrons and making them feel welcome.
We also really love the photos of all the dogs inside.

UB is right down the street from my work so if there is a game on, it is an easy place to pick to go watch.
With that said, thanks for the TVs.
The food, however, I’m not the biggest fan of. I’ve never been wowed by their food out of the various things I’ve ordered there. Sure, it is a bar and it has bar food. but when I compare it to someplace like Zipps, it seems worlds apart.

This place was just okay for me. It is really cute how everything is about dogs in there, but the kitsch cannot make up for the lack of flavor in the food.
I like the eating peanuts out of a dog bowl, but if they were not in their shells… I would not have touched them. The bowls did not look clean. I HOPE that they wash the bowls after every customer, but I would be very surprised if they did.
They do have pretty good specials every day of the week. On the day we went, my kiddo was actually free.
They are actually a dog-​friendly restaurant. You can bring your dog to the patio and they will give your dog a bowl of water. They don’t have a dog menu, but they do offer treats.
This place seems like a decent place for bar food and happy hour. Other than that, I will skip it.

I used to be a long-​time Bears fan, have been going whenever I am in town (I think I have written two positive reviews in the past). BUT, based on my experience, and the recent trend of negative reviews, I think somethink has changed drastically.
We were seated on a Tuesday (place was slow — staff standing around chatting) and waited about 10 minutes before giving up and leaving. The server saw us, as he was sucking up to the table next to us. I asked if he was supposed to be our server (he was), and if he knew we had been sitting there for nearly 10 minutes (he didn’t).
Bears has always been good, so I thought maybe this Jimmy Fallon wannabe was just an oblivious d-​bag. So, I called the restaurant after we left. No, the manager kind of seemed very uninterested, so I think we have given up.
Based on the recent reviews, I am wondering if the management at this Bears has changed recently — as I always thought it was top-​notch, and now, it’s just another overrated bar.

What a fun little spot Uncle Bear’s Grill and & Bar is, went with friends on a sat night to check out the karaōke and can say I had a blast! I wish I remembered my servers name, he was good, making sure we were taken care of and if we needed anything he was on it!
How cool are the dog bowls full of peanuts! Love that stuff!!!
I was suffering from a sweet tooth when I showed up at Uncle Bear, and guess what, they had the cure! I ordered me the Bears Cookies N Cream Bowl, oh holy cow that’s a big bowl of ice cream and on the bottom of that a warm chunky chocolate chip cookie that I swear was rolled in a cinnamon sugar mix, omg so delish! The sundae was covered in whipped cream & whole walnuts and doused with sweet chocolate sauce! Yes my sweet tooth was cured!
I also wound up with a few Irish Car Bombs & a cherry bomber
It was a good night, had lots of fun, people & staff were friendly and everyone was just having a good time. I will be back!
