Had an InKind discount for Bear Branch Tavern. Went for the NYE 2026 brunch specials and was not disappointed. Kicked off the new year w a southern traditional hoppin’ john stew and he had the hoppin’ john breakfast which added poached eggs (like a shakshuka) – both were delish! Kicked off my meal with half a dozen oysters and a Bloody Mary. You have to check out the customizable Bloody Mary bar… they offer extra mix, about a dozen pickled veggie options, celery, lemon, lime and more hot sauces than you could imagine. The oysters were served with a heaping portion of horseradish – which I love w my oysters and Bloody Mary and unlike most places, I didn’t even have to ask for it. Then, we got the poke tuna nachos. Wow! Huge slices of tuna. Soft texture and the flavor just sets in with each bite. Served with scoops or portions of seaweed salad (unlike most places where it’s barely added). He got a French martini. The bartender, Abrea, was great. Very personable and attentive, even in the midst of several tasks. She made the martini off the menu but suggested her personal touch of adding more citrus, which made it even dreamier if you like a real pop of citrus/tang to offset a sweeter drink. Don’t let the humble exterior of this place fool you, Bear branch Tavern is a spacious, cozy and modern restaurant with tasty southern comfort-style food (Carolinas/Georgia). Can’t wait to visit again to try the French dip, Niçoise salad and other brunch items!

Came here with friends on a Saturday for lunch. It’s a bit confusing the 1st time, but the parking lot is actually in the back & the official entrance is in the rear of the building.
The inside has a sports bar vibe.
Service was good, seemed a bit busy but not slammed so not sure why the server was a bit scarce at times.
Had a decent selection of house beers and other drafts, so was pleased on that account.
Food was good and well prepared. I enjoyed the basic burger with my beloved tots. My wife had some chicken sandwich that was also good.
Overall a good experience, I will return.

We recently moved to the area and really wanted to find a new place to be our dinner/beer/sports spot. I think we found a winner!!!
The tempura cauliflower was soooo delicious!!! I could literally eat that as a meal The sandwiches were very delicious and went well with a nice cold beer.
Great food, great customer service and perfect spot for watching sports as well!

Absolutely love Bear Branch Tavern!
The staff here is always fantastic — friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel welcome every time. The food? Out of this world. Our go-to is always the French Onion Soup — hands down the best around!
You can’t go wrong with the Truffle Fries (seriously, it must be the Truffle Fries ✨). My personal favorite is the Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich, but I get it as a wrap — it’s perfection every single time. And don’t even get me started on the Chicken Nachos appetizer… total bomb dot com!
As a foodie, I can confidently say — everything here is amazing. Bear Branch Tavern never disappoints!
I’ll take more pictures of my food and less of the drinks

This is like a beer brewery but classier. Poke Nachos? Come on! There was so much fresh seared tuna I started speaking Japanese. The Bloody Mary bar was loaded with choices. It was like Tinder, if no one lied and everyone was pretty. The food arrived fresh and fast as though Roadrunner was trying to beat the coyote to the bar. We sat at the bar and were amazed at the service by our mixologist Abrea. So to bottom line it we looked at this place for a few months and are now wondering why we didn’t come here sooner. Check it out when in V-Town.

We love going to Bear Brunch! Our favorite spot is the back area bar where we can relax and enjoy some appetizers. The atmosphere is always welcoming and comfortable. It’s especially wonderful when the weather warms up and the patio opens. We also love that they’re open late, making it the perfect place to stop by after a late movie. Always a great experience!

Went on Sunday with group of friends. Food was ok. Service and atmosphere were also ok, we weren’t come all at once, there were 4 of us and the rest came one after the other. Overall it was an ok experience for me.

If you have never been to this place you will need to know that the parking lot is in the BACK and the entrance is actually in the REAR of the building. It can get pretty confusing the first time coming here. The manager is on top of everything. We saw him seating us as well as clearing tables and assisting with menu questions. He came back to check on us frequently throughout our dining experience.The ambiance is surprising nice in this place. There is outdoor seating and this restaurant is dog friendly and we were able to bring our dog with us. The huevo ranchero was decent. The shakshuka is flavorful served in a cast iron pan with all the spices and tomato sauce with two baked eggs. Served with sourdough bread. The cold brew Martini was just okay.
We came back to her try the teriyaki shrimp bowl, steak and eggs, crab Benedict.
The teriyaki shrimp bowl was so soft and creamy, watery sauce and definitely not what we had expected. We don’t recommend getting that. The steak and eggs were just okay. The flavor of the steak was marginal but the steak was not a good cut. The chimichurri sauce that comes with it has no flavor. The eggs were asked to be made over medium and they were well done. Crab Benedict was good.
