Big Bear Burgers

Absolutely love this place! Being around the corner is just a blessing. The quality of the food and the time frame is crazy. Homemade and quickly, without sacrificing quality! 🫡🤟✌️💪👍🇺🇸

This was the best spot to hit up for our New Year’s Day lunch! We’re very grateful for the staff, as they always provide tasty food for your cheat days, and exceptional service. If you haven’t been able to visit last year, definitely stop by asap, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Took my oldest son there after school. This food is So Good we didn't even have time to put ketchup on it. They definitely take pride in the food they put out. 👌🏼Logan said Good cookies too!

literally amazing best burger I've had. I wish I could've gotten to try the fries. Let me know when you guys stop Using peanut oil and I'll be back ASAP to try the fries

Super friendly and fast! Had the Dumpster Burger and Dancing Bear Fries. It was so good!! Will definitely come back to try more of the menu!

Anna knocked it out of the park with the Papa Burger. The flavor comes together with the onions, cheese whiz and fries. Also the crinkle cut fries were delicious, no soggy fries which is a plus and the onion rings were delicious. I can’t wait to go back and work my way down the menu.

Fairly simple, super tasty. Best smash burger I've had in a long while. Spicy Den Fries are def a new favorite loaded fry option. Something about a good burger on a picnic table by the lake hits different.

Tried the spicy den fries, they were beyond delicious. You can tell that the meat is very high quality. And they give you PLENTY of sauce AND meat. Even though the dining is outside, it was very clean and beautiful. And the staff is so friendly!

Well well well…. GWL NY now has legitimately delicious smash burgers! Got the Cub Burger double & fries. Sauce on burger sells it before you even fully bite in & learn that this is a real smash burger that’s juicy on the inside and crispy outside. The crinkle cut fry game is on par with legends like White Castle. Next time I need to explore new sauces for fry dunking. Those fries deserve more than ketchup!

Nestled along the scenic NY 17A in Greenwood Lake, Big Bear Burger stands as a cozy beacon for those craving classic American fare. The unassuming facade invites hungry patrons to step inside this small yet vibrant eatery, where the scent of grilled meats mingles with the promise of indulgence. With a focused menu that champions burgers, hot dogs, and fries, this spot delivers comfort food with a playful twist. The chilly weather outside made the prospect of a hearty lunch all the more appealing. As snowflakes danced down from the gray sky, I found myself drawn to the warmth inside. The extensive menu featured an array of options, each seemingly more tempting than the last. The burgers, in particular, caught my eye, but as I scanned the offerings, one special stood out like a beacon: the Pilgrim Burger. Yes, you read that correctly—a smash burger adorned with American cheese, stuffing, beef gravy, and a generous drizzle of cranberry sauce. For someone with a penchant for all things Thanksgiving, this was a culinary dream come true. Upon placing my order for a classic cheeseburger and the aforementioned Pilgrim Burger, I felt a rush of excitement. The anticipation was palpable, and when the burgers finally arrived, they did not disappoint. Each bite revealed a perfect balance of flavors; the patties were expertly cooked to a delightful crispness on the edges, while the cheese melted in a golden cascade. Even the most ardent condiment lover might find it hard to improve upon the natural flavors present—a true testament to the kitchen's skill. Of course, no visit to Big Bear would be complete without sampling their renowned Dancing Bear Fries. These golden beauties, generously topped with Cheez Whiz and beef gravy, provided a savory indulgence that was impossible to resist. Each fry was a vessel of melted deliciousness, transforming a simple side into a star attraction. As if that weren’t enough, I was nudged by Joe, one of the staff members—clearly an enthusiast of his own menu—toward the Dumpster Dog. This hot dog arrived dressed in a playful combination of relish, Cheez Whiz, and the intriguingly named Dumpster Sauce. The flavors melded harmoniously, delivering a sweet-savory punch that left me delightfully satisfied. It was an unexpected adventure for the taste buds, one that I’d happily embark on again. To wash down this feast, I opted for the classic duo of Coca-Cola and root beer—refreshing choices that complemented the meal beautifully. Adding to the charm of the visit, Big Bear Burger offers a complimentary pup cup for furry companions, ensuring that everyone in the family leaves happy. My dog, with her tail wagging furiously, may have enjoyed her treat even more than I enjoyed my meal. Though the weather outside was far from ideal for alfresco dining, the cozy atmosphere inside our SUV provided a perfect retreat. As I savored every bite, I couldn’t help but reflect on the essence of Big Bear Burger: great food, excellent service, and a playful spirit that infuses everything they serve. I left with a full stomach and a healthy craving for their next Burger of the Month and perhaps a side of onion rings. Big Bear Burger may not be the fanciest joint in town, but it certainly knows how to deliver comfort food with a smile.
