5 stars for the ribs alone!I've been meaning to check out Bear West BBQ for a while, and I'm so glad I finally did.I ordered the 1/2 rack of St Louis Ribs; they were the best ribs I've had in a long time. Meaty, fatty, and falls off the bone. Goes so well with their in-house bbq sauce. My partner got the tri-tip with a side of mac n cheese. The tri-tip was good but I'm a ribs person!! The mac was great too.The staff here are very friendly, and they seemed to get along with each other.Seating is very limited inside (4 tables, though only 2 tables were available when I visited).Definitely check them out if you're craving bbq.

This is a real BBQ JOINT! Not that watered down junk they pass off as BBQ. This is the SPOT! Tender meat nice proportions and the cabbage, man the cabbage! It was cooked right with cut up sausage in it! The lady brought out a banana pudding! Wow! Very nice people good setting. This place is AUTHENTIC, real deal true! They are not new to the game they are true to the game . Anaiya is the absolute jewel of this place as a teenager she is kind and helpful and professional She makes this place!

My only regret is not trying Bear West sooner. Went tonight with my husband and daughter. The young woman who took our order was friendly and made some suggestions for my daughter who's a picky eater. The food came out fast. We had ribs, tri-tip, hot links, baked beans, yams, mac, greens, corn bread, and brought some banana pudding and peach cobbler home for dessert. Everything was delicious. The spicy barbecue sauce was not overly hot but just right. The meats were tender, and all the sides were cooked and seasoned perfectly. And the portions for the price are on point. We're full and have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. It's a little smaller on the inside than I expected but comfortable and I look forward to warm weather and going back to enjoy the outdoor seating.

The best bbq this side of the Mississippi. Mouth watering, and tender. Staff is friendly and helpful. I got the food to go.

First time at this restaurant, I ordered the two way meats and the chicken was not up to par (weird taste). The tri tip was not well seasoned. The greens and Mac and cheese were to die for. Corn bread was crumbing to touch. The pull pork slider was missing the Cole slaw the lady said would be on there. The environment was very welcoming. I would recommend to try again to see if I missed the actual cook that day.

I seriously can't believe this has been here this whole time. It is not what you think from the outside. Come in and it's the cutest home felt diner! And the best part, this food is to die for! The employees are exceptionally kind and welcoming as well. Hidden gem for sure! Delicious

Ordered a 2 way meal. Chicken and Tri Tip with Mac and cheese and baked beans. I will say, I would not pay for this meal again.The portions of the meat were not what I expected. 2 legs and 2 small end cuts of the Tri tip. The chicken was tender. Tri tip was dry. The flavor of the chicken was great. But I cannot justify paying what I paid for this little amount of food. I can say I expected at least a leg and a breast or thigh. But not 2 legs. I also thought I would get a bigger cut of meat for the Tri tip, but each piece was smaller than the corn bread. I may try again to see what the portion is for the meat individually because the flavor was good, I would just advise not to order the way meals unless you are eating solo.

Absolutely love this place. The staff and owner are very friendly. Even brought my mother here when she was here for the holidays from the east coast and she loved it also
