Everything was delicious! I tried the Jin Jin and habenero peach … so yummy. I also recommend the short rib grilled cheese if you are in need of some comfort food. I ordered with a gluten free bun… It’s basically a French dip, lots of sacory and tender goodness. The french fries were the perfect crispiness. Due to all the activity in the area, they currently have the door locked (call, knock, or wait until they see you )… But do not be put off, well worth a moment’s wait.

We sat at the bar at Luna & the Bear, intending to have a couple of drinks. While Luna is a neighborhood haunt, it was still packed at 6:00 PM on a Sunday, with diners eating at tables and booths. The bar was quiet, but with only two people working, the staff were running around because Luna’s space is quite large. It’s homey and attractive, but challenging for servers to navigate. Fortunately, a third person showed up to help, and that’s when we began to enjoy ourselves.
The charming Molly had time to talk with us and advise us about the menu. Our burger and fries were good, and we had a relaxing time. It was difficult to get a feel for Luna and the Bear, but I will return to get a vibe when the staff is less busy.

I was pretty let down with my recent visit. The fries were cold and the cheese curds contained too much cinnamon and the cheese was too chewy/plastic consistency. The habanero peach jam burger was anything but cohesive. It wasn’t spicy and tasted like they just smacked peach jam on a regular cheeseburger. None of the ingredients complimented one another. We got served the tiniest amount of ketchup and when we asked for more our server brought it after we asked for our tab…
I will say their dry rub wings were tasty. We did ask for them to be extra crispy.

I have gone twice. The cocktails are just not good. Either too sweet (Gin & jam) or flavorless (gin dill pickle). The food is passable but uninspiring.
Most importantly the service is baaaad. Host tried to sit us in front of the door even though we had a reservation. They thankfully seated us elsewhere once we objected. Server took our order right away. Drinks came out quickly. But no food came out for an hour. Server finally came back and admitted they never put in the food. We then gave them the full order and asked 3 times, please dont let the entres come out at the same time as the appetizers. What do you know, they came out together. No apology, no comp, no discount. Just a shrug and a 20% tip expectation. Do not waste your time here.

Good burgers! We ordered the Luna burger and Triple C burger along with the fried pickles and Gray Duck beer. Especially enjoyed the Triple C. It felt a little cool in the restaurant, but other than that, no complaints. Our sever, Addison, was great! Thank you!

Very fun place to meet up with friends, go on a date, hangout with co-workers, or dine alone. Beautiful open patio that I observed from afar, as it rained when I visited. Our server Addison was very helpful and friendly. His recommendations were 100%! The burgers are all amazing, both style fries are delicious, the cauliflower is a must, and the Fried Eggs BLT sandwich got double raves. The social spritz NA mocktail was savory, very very good!! Special note on the burgers: they had a taste that felt reminiscent. I can’t put a place to it but there’s something familiar there which is going to bring me back over and over until I figure it out!!

Went in for happy hour on a Sunday evening. Pretty quiet and comfortable. Services was great. L&B Devil was a refreshing cocktail. Hot honey chicken was delicious and a fun bite. Triple C burger was good as well. Fries were ok. Overall a lovely experience, I would go back again.

It wasn’t very busy when we went today for a Friday happy hour. But it was a really nice spring day so we sat on the patio. Happy hour is amazing! Great drink specials great food specials. For a chalice of beer, a Grey Goose bloody mary, 2 pints of beer, the burger sliders and onion rings it was $53 which I find very reasonable! I will definitely be back. The patio is also dog friendly which is awesome! If you’re in the area definitely give them a try.

Amazing dry rub wings.
Great food – love the option for vegetarian patty for the burgers. The Blackened Chicken and Andouille was outstanding.
The staff Maeve and Molly were top-notch. Can’t wait to go back.

First time and we had a great date night. The food was modern American and delicious. Our server Addison took good care of us while giving us plenty of space.
They offer gluten free buns for sandwiches / burgers but they don’t have a dedicated GF fryer. So sensitive folks will be okay but mileage may vary for celiac and allergy folks.
