The woman at the front register was super helpful and patient with us ordering. My brother does BBQ and rated his food highly. I got the dinner sampler with Mac and cheese and potato salad with corn bread. Everything was super delicious. The White Alabama sauce is very good. They have ample space inside the restaurant and some sitting outside.
Delicious! stopped in here for lunch. Had the BBQ sampler platter. Very filling, and each item was delicious. The BBQ meats were each savory in their own regard. The collard greens and mac & cheese were both spectacular. Comfortable/ Casual & clean decor. covered outdoor seating also.
Black Bear catered our wedding welcome party and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The food was absolutely incredible—our guests are still talking about it. As big foodies, we had high hopes, and they totally delivered. The team arrived early, had everything perfectly organized, and were super professional throughout. They even set aside plates for us so we didn’t miss out while mingling with guests! Highly recommend Black Bear for any event—top-notch service and truly outstanding food.
What a find! This is a really cute place that I happened upon. It is spacious inside with fun seating options but the best part of my day was eating their DELICIOUS chopped pork bbq sandwich. It was slightly greasy goodness to the last bite. The pork had the best smokiness yet was so tender. I asked for it with slaw on plus the sweet and tangy sauce. Fantastic!! And the service was topnotch even though I was there at an off time. Convenient to freeways and lots of shops in the center there. Make sure you check their limited hours!
AJ and his crew were amazing for our wedding. The food was excellent, planning was easy, and the day of went so smoothly. They were on top of things and we didn't have worry about anything.
We stopped in after a drive up and down the parkway, to fuel up before heading home. How do people not know about this place? The people at the counter and in the kitchen were all so kind and fun, and loved the costumes for Halloween. Their suggestions were top notch, the food was DELICIOUS, and loved the decor. I REALLY wanted the moose painting. The meat was perfectly cooked, with ribs that had that good crunch outside and delicious inside. The mustard sauce was perfect with the chicken and pulled pork. Mac n cheese and broccoli casserole are both clearly home made (in the best way) and we’re tasty! My fave was a tie between the green beans and the cucumber salad. Somehow the Family 4 meal was more food than we could eat and we wound up bringing some home with us. I wish I had more pics, but trust me, the food is worth the trip and experience. We’ll be back!
We had our rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding catered by Black Bear BBQ and it was excellent! The food was amazing! We had the brisket, pulled pork and sausage- best ever! The famous broccoli casserole was like no other, delicious! Everyone enjoyed the Mac and cheese and kale salad and root vegetables. Aj delivered the food himself and helped me set up. They were more than generous with the assortment of sauces - all of them delicious! Thank you so much!
Literally the best ribs I have ever had were had today at Black Bear BBQ. Get the dry rub, just trust me! My family and daughters came today and tried the family sampler platter with green beans, broccoli casserole, Mac and cheese, and sweet potato casserole. The pulled pork was my mom’s favorite, the smoked sausage was incredible, the smoked chicken hit the spot for my girls and the ribs obviously rocked my world. The sides were all amazing, but I have a soft spot for broccoli casserole. Just takes me back to pot lucks at southern churches growing up as a kid. The food was all amazing but the staff, restaurant, cleanliness all shined. The owner came out and offered us some banana puddings for my kiddos and we all enjoyed it! I am so glad we came here today and if you’re roaming through Asheville and love bbq, don’t let this one pass you by!
