I am a frequent customer of Big Bear. I have yet to have any serious problems there. I always feel welcomed by the staff, they have so much teamwork! My favorite server is Stevette, great personality and very professional, not to mention pretty! She always helps my friends and family decide what to order. It's nice to see someone take pride in their work. Good job Stevette, it's people like you that make Big Bear great!

I have been to hundreds of breweries and this is the best. The food is great and the beers (belgian ale) stand out. We came here after a wedding(G-Man & The Henster) and everything was perfect. Freddy had a little to many stouts and fell over- Oh Well- all in good fun!

Larry (my waiter) did a much-better-than-usual job of telling me about the beers and relating the styles to commercial examples. My pizza was excellent and, even though the place was full, I had to ask that it be delayed so it didn't interfere with my sampler (8 beers plus their root beer).
The Canadian Pilsner was a clear, clean beer with good hop (American Saaz?) flavor and balance. The Polar Light had more malt flavor than usual in such a light beer (although not to my taste). I thought that the Honey Raspberry Light didn't work very well: the honey and the raspberry got in each other's way. I think that their Grizzly Red Ale, with it's rich, complex malt flavor and nicely balancing hops may be a better (American) brown ale than the Brown Bear Ale (which I found to be far too strongly chocolate flavored). The Hibernation Pale Ale is definitely an American pale with plenty of citrus-y American hops to balance a good malt flavor. The bad news is their Belgian ales. Both the Kodiac (sic) Belgian Dubbel (too dry) and the Spiced Abbey Ale lacked the expected sourness. Without a program, I would not have identified them as Belgian ales. Great root beer - I was even tempted to have that with my dinner.

SUPER BREW, and great food! Don't pass this one up, if your in the area. Try the Belgian Dubble - you won't be dissapointed!! Exceptional APA, but you gotta' like the plentiful, fresh, superb Cascade hops. Also, try the Belgian Wit. It will definately satisfy the summer pallate. Don't miss this "diamond in the ruff". It's definatly the best of Coral Springs!!

They recently had a serious fire. They will re-open in April 2001. They serve some of the best beers in the Southeast.

One of the best belgian dubbels I have had outside of Belgium. It as well as all of the seasonal beers and the brown ale truly stood out. Surprisingly the beers are assertive for a family oriented town and resataurant. Please keep making belgian dubbels, saisons etc- they are great!

One of the best breweies in florida. A good selection of good beers. The brown ale stands out above the rest. They always have some good seasonals as well ie: a spiced belgium dubbel as their winter ale.Definitely worth visiting

Really good beers. The Czech Pils was my favorite but they also had a good Hefeweizen and Amber Ale. Great food for lunch and the place looks nice. The brewer was friendly and helpful.

Several good beers and a couple of exceptional ones. Loved the APA and Hefewiezen. The specialty beer was a very unique and flavorful Saison,something that I did not expect to see in a Florida brewpub. Good food and service. A very nice brewpub.

Big Bear makes decent beer but nothing like a top brewpub. Stout is drinkable but way too light for a stout. The big problem I had with this place was the food. I ordered the chicken pot pie and got food poisioning- I literally was up the entire night vomitting and I'm not exagerrating. Since the beer is only average at best, I would try Brewzii's in Boca instead who doesn't make better beer, but the food is something you can order without worrying.

With so few brewpubs in the south Florida area, Big Bear is my salvation. Their Hibernation Pale Ale is my favorite with a great hop character. In a land of Budweiser and weak beers, Big Bear is a must for anyone who is looking for a real beer in south Florida. Their food is delicious and the bartenders are the friendliest in Coral Springs.

I must say the Sunday's Brewers Brunch is awesome. The beer is very good, with a varied selection. I have been told that there is a new brewer at the establishment and have noticed a definite improvement in the beers. I will definitely be a regular!
