The Hungry Bear Cafe and Catering

Wonderful daily soup specials; my dad ordered two bowls for breakfast — chicken dumpling and Reuben soup, and loved them both. The skillet was a great bargain and quite good! Bottomless coffee for $ 1.35!

Affordable, good, country café comfort food.
I had breakfast (served all day): an egg, bacon, and biscuit with sausage gravy. The biscuit with sausage gravy was my favorite. It tasted remarkably close to my mother’s gravy and her’s is the best. It’s the first gravy I have ever called delicious besides my mom’s. The bacon wasn’t great. I am pretty picky about my bacon though. I would choose the sausage next time.
My husband had the lunch special: turkey, bacon and swiss on a pretzel bun. Served with potato chips. He enjoyed his sandwich; only ate a few chips.
I always glance around at what other people order and the burger and fries were a popular item ordered. I will definitely try that if we make it back here.
The staff was friendly and the service was quick! Their demeanor while working with and without customers was very professional.
I will say my only complaint is that we smelled of grease on our clothes & hair even after driving back to the hotel with our windows down. Although, that is pretty typical for all small country style cafés.

Whenever I am near Shawano I stop by this place. The bread is from Amish bakers, the sandwiches are superb and desserts divine, plus they have great specials. I’ve not had one of their breakfasts yet but will remedy that with my next visit. Well worth going out of your way for, if I lived in Bonduel I might weigh 400 pounds with this place in close proximity. You’ll love it.
