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.

The food was great. My steak and cheese was delicious and the homemade balsamic dressing was fantastic!

Just got nachos tonight from the great lost bear. Thought they tasted a little off but didn't think much about it. Now my friend is viciously throwing up in the bathroom.
