Hungry Bear Plattsburgh Reviews
Food was fantastic. The atmosphere was very pleasant and homey. Service was prompt and efficient. Absolutely recommended.
I was in Plattsburgh for an appointment that was cancelled and decided to go to the Hungry Bear for breakfast to make something out of the trip. I picked the place for the name, and I was not disappointed in the food! I had been craving a chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy and both were absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, the coffee was warm, and it was great to hear the conversations with regulars in the background. The Hungry Bear has good food and a great atmosphere; it's exactly what I was looking for in a breakfast spot!
Amazing little restaurant for a breakfast! Cozy place with a fire, food is good, price is good and service is super quick! Totally recommend!
During an impromptu overnight stay in Plattsburgh, we stopped at this restaurant for brunch on our way home—and it turned out to be a delightful find. The space is clean, cozy, and welcoming, making it an easy place to settle in for a relaxed meal. The food was excellent, with generous portions that offered great value for the price. Two meals, along with coffee and a juice, came to just $35. The homemade bread was a standout—fresh, delicious, and a perfect complement to our dishes. Service was equally impressive. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home throughout the visit. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We’d gladly return the next time we’re in the area.
Traveling from out of town, I wanted to try a local breakfast diner. I had the omelette and it was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Service was impeccable. One of the locals behind me gave great suggestions on choices.
First time visit. We had a great lunch and we will return when in the area. Looking at other meals as they passed by us looked equally delicious. Serving sizes were big, I brought half my wrap home. The restaurant had a cozy feeling and our service was friendly. My only negative is the floor could use a better cleaning, around the edges were cruddy. The bathrooms were clean, again it was the floors.
We were a large party of 15 that showed up with no advance notice and were welcomed very warmly by the staff. Our waitress was excellent and delivered all of our orders promptly and correctly. She was pleasant throughout our meal, refilling coffee and water glasses. The food was delicious and it was a very positive experience. Highly recommended.
My wife and her friend took my toddler for lunch today. They were happy... until a flock of Karen's sat down near them. They berated my wife and her friend, AND my son who has mild autism. They discriminated against my wife's friend for being from Quebec despite speaking perfect English. The staff asked nicely over and over before ejecting the Karen's. My familys lunch was comped and staff couldn't be more apologetic and helpful. The world is healing from toxic people and the Hungry Bear is a great example of a business putting customers, not profit, first.
When I showed up here the place was completely packed but it was a holiday weekend so that was to be expected. I was resigned to the fact that it was going to take forever to get seated and I was wrong. The friendly staff quickly found us a table of someone who had just left and cleaned it and had us seated in just a few minutes. I figured where things is busy as they were it was going to take forever to get our food, nope wrong again. I couldn't believe how fast the food came out. The quality of the food was great and it certainly wasn't overly expensive. All around it was a fantastic experience and I definitely look forward to going back again.
Breakfast may be the easiest meal to do well because it's hard to meet up the basics (eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc). But this place goes the extra mile and does everything really well! The potatoes were so individually crispy it's like they fried them one at a time! The toast was noticeably thick, fluffy and tasty. Everyone in our party loved their dish. So many options to choose from!
This place is great, always pleasant when I visit. It in some ways like a diner, but much more personal. I have tried everything from hot turkey to liver and onions, many of the various fresh baked pies, it's all been great. I know Plattsburgh isn't a big town, but if you happen to find yourself there, be sure to check it out. They do close like 2pm, so not a dinner place, but fantastic for breakfast or lunch..
This is the place to go when you seriously need a huge, filling breakfast! The portions here are ginormous, and the prices are super reasonable. I ordered an omelet (the "Mountain Man," I think?)—everything was cooked great, exactly what you expect from a classic diner.The service really shines—the staff is so friendly, attentive, and keeps the coffee flowing. The atmosphere is bustling and a little loud, but that just shows how popular this spot is with the locals. Bottom line: This place lives up to its name. Highly recommend Hungry Bear for a classic, hearty, and satisfying breakfast in Plattsburgh. You'll leave stuffed and happy!
We've eaten here a few times while visiting family. The food is good, not too expensive, and the service is great. My husband likes their biscuits and sausage gravy. I had a really tasty Kitchen omelet, and the last time I ordered the Combo Eleven. Ham, bacon, sausage, peppers, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, home fries, cheddar cheese scramble. It was delish! Coffee is included with meals.
Service is fantasticand fast and food is okay but I could tell that some is frozen or canned and heated. The sausage gravy tastes and looks exactly like Sam's Club's canned sausage gravy. Same with the corned beef hash. Good prices, big portions, but I'm not homemade. Noise is a bit much. Not the restaurant's fault but a group of women behind us were excessively loud and we got to hear every detail of their drunken night and hangover suffering.
