Bear Down Barbecue & Catering Co.

Extremely dissapointed. Chicken was dry. Brisket was overly salty. Sold out of most side dishes and all desserts. Fries were cooked in old dirty oil...the taste was awful. This was during lunch with absolutely zero customers. It would do the business owners some good to seriously consider downsizing their menu to be able to offer what they are advertising. I really, really wanted to like this place.

Arrived there around 3:45pm and they were already sold out of just about everything. Ordered the brisket thinking it would be a sandwich but what I got was one small slab of meat with a huge fat cap. Cost me $22 for that, a regular order of fries, and a can of pop. If you want extra sauce they charge for that too. Waited all day for this, skipped lunch in anticipation, and left still hungry. Would not recommend and will not revisit

An hour and a half wait for a call-in order is completely unacceptable. When the food finally arrived, the portion sizes were nowhere near worth the price. The mac and cheese wasn’t creamy at all, and the BBQ sauce was extremely mediocre for a house sauce. It honestly tasted like it came straight out of a bottle. This meal was not worth the $60 I spent. Overall, a very disappointing experience, and I won’t be returning.

Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with an owner. Very rude and disrespectful. Several customers walked out while we were there taking care of an issue. We placed an order for delivery on their website and paid an extra 10% to have it delivered. I called to verify the delivery and they said we don’t deliver. That’s something new. We’re going to try out in the future and then proceeded just to cancel my order and told me that they were not open at the time. I set my delivery for anyways. The guy must be a Packers fan because a bears fan would never treat people like that. Shame on him. Please do not support this business.!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hidden Gem Alert! You’d never guess from the outside that this little BBQ spot tucked in a strip mall serves some of the best barbecue around. The moment you walk in, the smell of smoked meats hits you—and you know you’re in for something special. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the ribs had the perfect balance of smoke and sauce, and the sides tasted homemade with real love (special shoutout to the mac and cheese and baked beans). The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for real BBQ without the big chain vibe, this is the place. A true hidden gem worth finding!
