Don't expect a quick, convenient meal but it will be a tasty roast beef po-boy. Unfortunately 90% of the fried shrimp on my other po-boy still had the tails on them.A new location/building would provide ample parking and seating but the current location does not.

Bear's has character as all legendary neighborhood restaurants should. Certainly feels like walking into the 60's and putting out really good poboys, Bear's is unique. We split a fried shrimp poboy and it was loaded with shrimp, perfectly dressed and very delicious. The bread is split & grilled, not my favorite approach it overall it's a solid sandwich.

I came across this place through word of mouth. I was just visiting and one of my family friend recommended this place for Po Boys and it did not disappoint!I recommend getting the Ferdie and Fried Shrimp poboys. The ferdie really blew my mind, there was a lot of meat and the flavor was just on point!I would say this is one of the best local spots in Mandeville for Po Boys!

A co-worker took me here for lunch, and I had low expectations since I'm not really a fan of po' boys. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The establishment is unassuming, but the po' boys are phenomenal. I've been a fan ever since, and now I use this place as the gold standard for rating po' boys.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy a delicious and authentic poboy, you should definitely check out Bear's Restaurant in Covington. They use fresh ingredients, homemade gravy, and locally baked bread to make their sandwiches, which are loaded with meat, cheese, and veggies. You can choose from a variety of options, such as roast beef, shrimp, ham, hamburger, and more. They also have fries, chips, cookies, and pralines to complete your meal.The service at Bear's Restaurant is friendly and fast, and the staff is always ready to help you with your order. They are attentive and courteous, and they make you feel welcome and comfortable. The restaurant is clean and cozy, with a casual and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is small and can get crowded during peak hours, but the wait is worth it.Bear's Restaurant is a must-try for anyone who loves poboys and wants to experience a taste of New Orleans without having to drive to the Southshore. It is one of the most popular restaurants in downtown Covington, and it has a loyal and satisfied customer base. You will not regret visiting this place, and you will want to come back for more. I recommend trying the famous Roast Beef or Ferdie Po-Boy! You can thank me later

Went here last weekend and it did not disappoint. We got two of the roast beef's. One was a bun and one was a po-boy. They were toasted which was nice. Now I got a half and I think somebody got a 1 or 2 inches of my half, so it was a little small for me. But would not go back because of that,,,,no I am just going to order a whole because that is what I should have done from the beginning.This a good solid roast beef,,,,,,, beware it is messy.I wished I could give you a photo but it disappeared that quick.
