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.

Good "bar food". We really enjoyed the marinated mushrooms and mac & cheese. The many beer options was great. My beer was not very cold though. Our server did not deserve a tip. He only took our order and gave us a check at the end. Someone else brought out our food. Our server never checked on us nor refilled our waters. Parking is limited. The swinging door is a hazard as the servers rush thru it with no regard of others.

Ate here tonight on our way to Island Falls. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and the people working here are great! If I'm ever in Portland, Maine around dinner time again, this is where I'll be going.
