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.

I jokingly call this place "The Great Lost Waitress." The service has never been stellar but the beer selection and pub-food are great.

Used to be great! Last 3 times here the service was bad! Onion gratinee burger was my favorite but it was dry and bland yesterday. Our waiter was course and not interested. He never came back after bringing us our food. We waited more than 45 minutes for 3 burgers? Someone has lost focus here. We won't be back because there are too many other goods eats in area. GLB needs to get it together!
