BEST The Bear Pit Restaurant! by Ben B. on 8/13/2013 via Judy's Book

From the moment I entered the restaurant I had a great feeling about it. The staff was friendly and inviting. The atmosphere was beautiful yet quaint and the overall experience was wonderful. The food was to die for! I went with my husband…

I've been going to the Bearpit since I was young with my family loved it then and still hasnt changed (LOVE it today!) Now tradition with my own kids and yes *family Favorite to this day! Brisket beef on garlic toast or turkey(yummmm) oh…

It was meh by jackiebob80 on 1/24/2011 via Citysearch

I had lunch here while visiting from Chicago and had an OK experience. The staff was friendly and took care of us the entire meal, but what's with the sawdust on the ground? Is that how BBQ is done in the West? Anywho, I got the spare…

The Bear Pit's Good if You Like Boiled Ribs! by Clotee Allochuku on 9/6/2010 via Citysearch

I didn't feel ilke cooking for Labor Day so we decided to get some food at "The Bear Pit". Upon entering the place the staff was extremely friendly and when I tasted the ribs I thought, "They'd better be!". We ordered the "Hungry Bear…

Bear Pit a Genuine Pit by Ronal60p on 2/11/2010 via Citysearch

So, this is barbeque at it's best? This place serves some of the worst barbeque I have ever had. Small portions at gargantuan prices for mediocre food does not make great barbeque. And those potato balls, what in the hell are those…

You've got to be kidding by octobass on 4/14/2009 via Citysearch

After driving past this place for 30+ years, thought I'd give it a shot. After all, the parking lot's nearly always full. It must be very good. Well, it's not good. Actually it's horrific. I picked up take-out ( Beef Ribs,Pork Ribs,…

The Bear Pit is for Bears only by hamiller on 3/20/2009 via Citysearch

The only HUGE portion you get is a piece of garlic powder toast, other than that the chicken and ribs I had today were tasteless, and dry to brittle dry if there is such thing. I started to wonder if I ordered ribs or beef jerkey. I…

Smell's Great - Lacks the Flavor by Marion W on 9/11/2008 via Insider Pages

This restaurant has a great looking menu, it smells wonderful, but the meats are dry, and all the food I tasted lacks in flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.

Excellent by Julie J on 9/7/2008 via Insider Pages

The best BBQ you can get in the valley. The beef ribs are the best I have ever had, the waitresses make you feel like you are family and the pricesw are great.

Bearpit B.B.Q., on Sepulveda ,Mission Hills CA. by cindy p on 9/6/2008 via Insider Pages

If you want the real thing this B.B.Q. house has it. Ribs to die for and sandwiches on garlic toast can't be beat(my favorites are either turkey or beef/brisket) Resturant is relaxed apmosphere.Walt disney bears on walls & sawdust on…

Good bar-b-que! by Jeannie G on 8/17/2008 via Insider Pages

This restaurant has been around forever. They are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is very layed back & casual. My family loves their bar-b-que sauce! It's great for lunch or dinner & is easy access from the freeway. Good deal!

Great Place, Great Tradition by sillyshell on 6/26/2008 via Citysearch

Best BBQ in town. Great friendly atmosphere. It's hard to find a great place with sawdust on the floor. My family has been going since the day I could walk....over 35 years. The Bear Pit Special on Garlic toast is the first thing…

mediocre food but bad service by marlamoomoo on 6/13/2008 via Citysearch

when i first walked in i was surprised to see sawdust on the ground, thats just a litlle bit to weird for me. didnt seem hygenic to me. our server was nice but seemed very rushed. i ate the kodak which is ay-okay considering what you pay…

BEST BBQ IN LOS ANGELES by jazzyjeff41 on 6/12/2008 via Citysearch

I have been going to the Bear Pit BBQ Restaurant for over 35 years. This restaurant is a Landmark. My favorite is the BBQ beef, pork or ham served on garlic toast with BBQ beans and Cole Slaw. This is a must try. all the food is good…

Editorial Review by Contributor on 5/14/2008 via Citysearch

Who says things don't get better with age? Since 1954, slow-cooked, Missouri-style barbecue and famed garlic toast have been the hallmarks of this sawdust-floored family restaurant.

One Stars NO WAY & I Know My BBQ by mustjazz on 3/26/2008 via Citysearch

I've been coming here since my college days 30 years ago. It is as good now as it always was. The BBQ sandwiches on their ultimate garlic bread is heavenly. Worth risking a heartattack over!!! The sauce is smokey, vinegary & thinner…

BEST BBQ SANDWITCH ON EARTH by Katherine794 on 2/12/2008 via Citysearch

I STARTED GOING TO THE BEAR PIT 40 YEARS AGO WITH MY DAD, AND NOW I TAKE MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS, I LIVE 50 MILES AWAY BUT WE WILL MAKE THE DRIVE TO EAT, HAVE TO HAVE BBQ SANDWITCH ON GARLIC CHEESE TOAST, AND THE BEEF RIBS ARE REALLY GOOD…

good food, good service by lenahanson on 8/25/2007 via Citysearch

tonight i was craving bbq. i searched for bbq places in my area and the bear pit was not only the closest, but had really great ratings...so we took a chance. it was so yummy! we can't wait to go back! at first you think "oh no is this…

I love me some missouri style bbq. by 310valleygirl on 6/25/2007 via Citysearch

i hate the fact that this place is so far into the valley. as if it couldn't get any further, it's at the tip of the 405. nonetheless, the drive is well worth it. this place is finger-licken good. they remind me of that place in k.c. …

HITLERS HANGOUT by Maria Elena R on 2/12/2007 via Insider Pages

Its appalling to see & feel that a place like this exists here in S.F.Valley. Our family recently dined here and was treated very rudely as if a Latin family didn't belong in a Missouri style restaurant. Its funny we should have worn our…
