About this business
The Great Lost Bear has become a Portland institution since opening in 1979. The "Bear" is located about two miles from Portland's touristy Old Port but well worth the journey across town to the Mysterious Woodford's Area. The Great Lost Bear features an enormous eclectic menu with something for everyone: from hearty, spicy junk food to a large vegetarian selection, from steaks, salads and All American Burgers to award winning, wicked gooey desserts... all served in an entertaining atmosphere.

Excellent meal! So many choices Can’t wait to go back.
Excellent beer selection, great staff, bad food. Good bar hopping place only.
The atmosphere is always great. The service was very good, considering owner server was very busy. The food was okay. For some reason it wasn’t up to its usual quality on this visit. However we’ll be back.
Been here several times, and never had a disappointing experience. The food is very good - appetizers like marinated mushrooms, fried veggies, and nachos are particularly tasty. But the beer options are what makes this place, and there's always something new to try. Service can sometimes be a little slow when things are busy, as with just about any restaurant, but every server I've had over half a dozen visits has been kind and attentive. Definitely worth it.
Their ranch dressing is awesome! Great food, service, & atmosphere!
Chaotic entry - swarmed and disorganized feeling at first BUT - self-seating in lounge and bar was a hidden gem and got us seated immediately in a long line. Service was great and food was spot on - just what we needed. Would eat here again no doubt.
Love the wings and all the food is great. We had an excellent server and she took great care of us. She was friendly, nice and gave us just the right amount of attention.
It is a wonderful restaurant we have been going to for many years....because we live an hour from it, we don't go there as often as we'd like....the food is consistently very good, great beer, friendly staff.....highly recommend people put it at the top of their favorite restaurants list!!
Love the beer choices! I was hesitant to go with our 8 year old but it was family friendly. Service was great and the food was hearty! Total local place in a good way!!
