Bear Mountain Grill - Eagle River

The Bear Mountain Grill sits off the main road through Eagle River and you will not see it unless you look carefully. It is behind VCA ANIMAL-HOSPITAL about 150 yards off Eagle River road. There is a sign by the road but when you look you may miss it. They have a large free parking lot. The service is excellent with both the breakfast buffet and the ability to order from the menu. The buffet line food is kept hot and replenished often so it is fresh. The food is well prepared and tasty. The prices are reasonable. The buffet is all you can eat and comes with coffee and drinks (non-alcoholic). They do have an alcohol license so you can order other drinks. I have ordered off the menu and found those meals to be high quality and large. This is an excellent place to eat in Eagle River.

Eggs and sausage links were merely ok but like a Google reviewer from yesterday stated, the food is just left to sit out and not rotated for freshness, which is crucial for a buffet. I hadn't eaten here since October 2018; the horribly greasy food, lack of buffet options, and aforementioned lack of quality control ensures I won't be back. Other reviewers are spot-on; this place has done a 180 degree turn since it's changed ownership, and not for the better.

My wife and I have been here a couple times for breakfast and it was great both times. Good sized portions, freshly cooked ingredients and nice flavor. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. Busy on the weekend but haven't had to wait for a table. We ordered from the menu but they also have a breakfast buffet available.

Disappointed. New Owners trying to save a buck at my expense. Not at all the same warm atmosphere as before. Food was dry and the new buffet menu lacks the variety that I'm used to. I couldn't even choke down the new coffee brand (Folgers) I give them 1 start for the generic effort and 1 for the bacon. Won't be going back.

Huge portion for each plate we ordered. $14.75 for hubby's breakfast burrito which he loved and $13.75 for my chorizo and eggs(it comes with 3 pancakes) which is with ok flavor. The restaurant interiors are old but clean. Best breakfast restaurant in town!
