Blue Bear - Racine

We will be back!! Everything was excellent! Including the staff on such a busy Moms Day!

Food is excellent, it was fairly expensive for a brunch. $36/person but it was 3 courses.
I would definitely recommend, just based off the food alone. But if you are looking for cheap eats, this isn't the place for you.

Food was innovative and delicious. Minor complaint about corn bread and butter too cold to spread.

This is a hidden gem! If you have diet restrictions such as being GF, the options are AMAZING. The menu is full of small plates as well as ala cart options so you have endless possibilities of mixing and matching. We did not get dessert and I am totally regretting my decision. But we will definitely be back.

We had a great Mother’s Day breakfast! The staff handled the busy-ness very efficiently and the meal was delicious. So glad to be introduced to this great restaurant that knows about handling gluten free options!

Excellent Vegan and Gluten Free options. Cozy atmosphere

It was delicious fresh food and we can’t wait to go again.

Side dishes were brought out far in advance of the main dish. Crème brûlée came plain, no garnish. Blueberry pie without ice cream.

The Blue Bear never disappoints—food and service are exceptional in a quite, casual atmosphere.
Highly recommend this restaurant and hope they can continue to extend their outdoor dining opportunities once the weather warms.

Very good, as always! Glad to be able to gather there with friends while enjoying delicious food! Looking forward to outdoor dining again!

Went for my mother in law's birthday. Reserved a table for 4 and we were seated outside next to the busy street with constant loud traffic even though there were multiple open tables available inside the restaurant. It was a bit chilly outside and my mother in law is elderly and walks with a cane. Sure would've been nice not to make her walk extra to be seated outside. Food portions were way less than they used to be. Not impressed and won't be back.

Absolutely fantastic service, the food choices on the menu are nicely organized and diverse to appeal to every pallet and the quality of the food including Visual, taste and textual presentation are five stars. They do a terrific job in this restaurant.

Really enjoyed it. Food and Service excellent. Would certainly return.

Great food, wait staff are very friendly. I would recommend Blue Bear in Racine!!

Very nice - we were seated immediately, which was greatly appreciated.

Everything is fresh and the food was hot
Coffee cup was kept full and our waitress was attentive and helpful and very
friendly

Delicious gluten free fresh walleye fish fry!

This was our 2nd time and we love it. The Brisket Benedict was amazing. We love the vegan or gluten-free options.

Will absolutely go back

COVID Plastic barriers reduced the ambiance, but otherwise great experience

We had the biscuits and gravy. It is the best I have had in a very long time. Our waitress was attentive, and polite. She answered our questions. The coffee was always hot and fresh the ingredients were locally sourced We are planing going back

The place is fantastic. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

Love the Blue Bear outstanding food and service it never disappoints.

"Background" music was not in the background, too loud for pleasant conversation.
And the table near the door was uncomfortable/drafty/windy.
But we're old and are kinda picky.

This was my first visit to Blue Bear. My friend and I had a reservation. We were asked to sit on the back patio which was heated. The area was very small and smelled of fuel. The tables and chairs were outdoor iron sets. We chose to stay outside as the restaurant was packed! I would not sit on the patio again!

The waitress was kind and kept our coffee cups full! We ordered the ham, cheese and caramelized onion omelet with rosemary potatoes and wheat toast. We were brought our food with corn muffins instead of toast by a runner. Our waitress noticed right away that we didn’t have toast and offered to fix the mistake. We chose to keep the muffin.

Now for the food, the coffee was decent. It was flavorful but not very strong. The rosemary potatoes were bland. The omelet was fine but cold and needed more cheese.

Given this is a local place that’s close to home, I’d give Blue Bear a second shot. I probably wouldn’t go on a Sunday, would sit inside, and tryna different entree.

I enjoyed my first visit and came with an open mind Because I didn't know what food to expect. End up trying 3 items on their menu special for valentine's and it was delicious! From latte drink to the food they put extra thought into executing making them fresh and unique. I was worried about not liking it but glad I tried it out. Staff was friendly. Only dislike I had was the small quarters. Small like a cafe, I do recommend if you want to have a little more space and quiet to get a table in their patio section, they have heater lamps for use.

The vegan options are always amazing! The owners are awesome as well :)

Amazing as always!

Great Tasting Food, Cute little interior, very clean and friendly staff

Great food and drinks. I had the blue “beary” pancakes which were delicious. The breakfast was great. Good housemate chicken sausage. My friend had the biscuits and gravy which was good too. The only thing I would change is the temperature of the food. It wasn’t hot enough for me. Also the scrambled eggs were tasty, but not scrambled “soft” per my request. I would definitely return. My blueberry cocktail was great!

Great food at a good price. Second time I’ve been here for breakfast and once again everything was very good.

Delicious farm to table breakfast. Great, fast service and a fantastic bloody mary !

Food was outstanding, really unique and excellent. Prices are high, but the portions are generous and very tasty. We had a reservation for 4 people, but waited over 20 minutes to be seated, which was frustrating. Overall, I would recommend to anyone.

Great food! Enough choices that there is something for everyone. I’ll eat there again.

The shepherd pie was the most delicious dish I've had in a long while..Shh. don't tell anyone I licked the pan..It was that good!! My daughter was surprised how fresh and delicious her fish was, being from Milwaukee where there are good places on every corner to eat. She was surprise that Racine could offer better food. Delicious!?

This was our first time. Cute place set up perfectly for Covid safety. The waitress was great in that she was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
We took her suggestions and ordered smoked brisket entrees, they were amazing. Fresh baked bread and homemade jam. We will definitely go back.

Has a potential to be good if the employees paid attention to details. The serving of 4 pancakes is very nice. But when you forget to bring butter, and provide a small container of syrup, and when you finally bring 3 hard as rock slices of butter, the proportions of pancakes to butter and syrup do not work.

I realize Covid is a challenging time for all, but at the prices I paid I expect details to be done correctly.

We visit regularly because we can dine outside away from folks- we always go for dinner.
Blue Bear has a greatly unique menu which is almost entirely (maybe entirely) gluten free. From appetizers like Nashville Hot Wings !!) and Warm Crab Dip (yes, GF) to entrees like GF Cod Fish Fry (which is better than terrific!) or Chili Pork Verde (it was Awesome) and desserts like home made GF Cherry Pie or Creme Brulee. They do everything well at Blue Bear, their breakfast is just as creative and satisfying and also, Gluten Free.

Fantastic!

Creative, delicious, locally sourced - what's not to love! Honestly one of the best brunches I've had in a very long time (including NYC, Chicago, Charlotte, Milwaukee, etc.). And really nice people too. Can't wait to go back! This is one not to be missed.
