Excellent place a few drinks in general and for Halloween, they decorate to the 9’s!!!
On Halloween they had a DJ, and constume contest, with 75$ gift cards for winners, very generous of them.
Good, strong cheap drinks, a pool table and darts.
Can be rented for private parties also.
We love this local place!!!

Great experience compared to my last. Excellent fried mushrooms and burgers! And such a great happy hour probably the best I’ve ever seen! Kayley did a great job bartending, cooking and waiting on tables!

Absolutely amazing gem of a bar and grill!
Went for the prime rib on a Saturday and you have been happier. Delicious food in a chill atmosphere. The decor is eclectic, blending the woodsy cabin look with some spooky touches thrown in that are representative of the owner.
It’s off the beaten path and was not incredibly busy, which was a bonus. Easy to have a conversation without raising your voice. The wait staff was attentive and they have a salad bar well stocked with fresh items.
It’s a large menu and I look forward to going back to try other items that looked incredible.

Straightforward Wisconsin dive with Wisconsin prices, like a $5 old fashioned.

The prices and the salad bar would keep me coming back. The fish fry was a bit heavier. Thick breading on the cod and super cheesy hash browns. Service isn’t the quickest.

In our quest to try a bunch of local restaurants near us, we ordered carryout from Black Bear Inn. The staff was super friendly over the phone and made ordering super easy.

Upon pickup, the food was ready promptly at the time they advised. The atmosphere of the bar was pretty cool. The huge skeleton statue was awesome. The staff was friendly and helpful, even making sure to go over some specifics we had mentioned when ordering.

The food was great overall! The burger was moist and tender. The cheese was melted to perfection. The bun had a gorgeous sheen to the top, looking freshly baked.

One of my favorites was the mozarella sticks. They were super thick and stuffed with cheese. The breading was well seasoned, and they weren’t the least bit greasy. They had a wonderful flavor and were definitely well worth it.

The chicken strips were also delicious. The breading had a great taste, and the chicken inside was moist white meat. The seasoning was great and complimented the chicken well.

My wife loved the chicken parmesan sandwich. The marinara tasted a homeade, which was a pleasant surprise. The chicken was super tender and juicy. The bun was great and added a nice softness to the crispy chicken.

The fries were good but not crazy seasoned. If you like more potatoey fries, these are the ones for you. Nothing super special about them but a solid side.

The chicken wild rice soup was thick and creamy. The chicken in it was tasty, and the soup itself had almost a gravy like consistency, which was super cozy and warming. Our toddler loved it as well!

Overall, we will for sure be going back to Black Bear Inn and would recommend it to anyone in the Cottage Grove area!

Until next time!

Very friendly servers who were quick and attentive. The food was pretty good with a large selection of burgers, sandwiches and entrees, including pasta. When we were there they were very well decorated for Halloween. Pretty impressive. The cheese curds were very unique. They were cubes and tasty.

My experience at the Black Bear was nothing less than below average. First of all the service was horrible. The bartender Makayla was extremely rude and didn’t crack a smile once. The little food I ordered was cold and tasteless. I will not be attending the Black bear again.

This place is such a great local gem. Ann provided us amazing dine in service. Everyone enjoyed their brunch and the bloody mary bar that is brought to the table. The local fish fry here is also very great! Thanks Black Bear and Ann!
