Black Bear BBQ

No GF menu available but they do have GF options. Staff was knowledgeable. Food was good and portions were large. Pricey for strip mall bbq but everywhere is right now. And it did have good portions.

I did not get sick from eating here, but the food was super mediocre, the restaurant was extremely over the top about COVID, and the place had no character whatsoever.

Great find! Excellent food! We loved the sausage (just a bit of spice) and it’s homemade weekly by the husband. My husband is a BBQ connoisseur and loved it all. We had ribs, pulled pork, sausage, beans, potato salad—all yummy! A few items not GF (bread, cornbread) and a few that can be made GF by removing topping. All sauces and meat rubs GF. Service was great. Knowledgeable about celiac.

Before ordering, I had asked the woman at the register the usually gluten-free related questions. She had stated that she was gluten sensitive and that another coworker had Celiac Disease, so they were aware of the difference and assured me that they were careful about cross-contamination. Food was really tasty, most things on the menu are gluten free.

Loved it. I got the baby back ribs and baked beans. It was very tasty. Ordered takeout and they packaged mine separately to ensure no cc. Their covid precautions were phenomenal.

My daughter and I got half of a smoked chicken and shared. It was absolutely delicious and came with 2 sides.

Great job with safety procedures. My family said the regular sandwiches were amazing. Everyone loved their food.

The staff were very helpful. They said all meats and sauces and GF as well as many of the sides. I got pulled pork with mustard based sauce and coleslaw on top at the staff’s suggestion and it was very good! I also had baked beans which I very much enjoyed. We did visit during the time of COVID-19 restrictions and we appreciated their strict adherence to the CDC’s suggestions. They required a mask of staff as well as patrons and only allowed one party in the lobby to order at a time. They provided shaded outdoor seating which was appreciated. Would visit again :)

Excellent food! Talked to the owner the first time we ate here. He made me feel very comfortable eating here. All of the meat and sauces are gluten free and most of the sides. My husband had the cornbread(gluten), he said it was very good. We ate here twice in a week. Different items both times, everything was very good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten allergies. They talked with me in length about my allergies and they use tongs or spoons to plate the food, so risk of cross contamination is low. It’s a small, family owned place, that really cares about providing a safe environment for those with allergies. I am celiac and have had a wonderful experience every time I’ve been!
