Hungry Bear Restaurant

Critter Country's only dining location, Hungry Bear Restaurant, may be best known for providing one of the more relaxing spots in the park. Features of the menu are the fried green tomato sandwich, sweet potato fries, and blueberry pie. The seating area is a large deck facing the Rivers of America. The lower deck in particular tends to stay quiet, providing a chance to relax, watch the various vessels on float by, and perhaps even catch a glimpse of one of the park's feral cats.

Once again our son needed his burger fix. He eyed the Hungry Bear while on the Riverboat and "suggested" we go there for lunch. After we made landfall we proceeded to the Hungry Bear. Our son had the kids chicken burger + fries. I had the turkey clubhouse + fries and my wife had the Chicken Caesar Salad. The food was excellent, although the kids meal is really only for the <5 age unless your child is a small eater. Our son ended up sharing our meals; which were more than enough for the 2 of us. Our meal was about $30; which was standard for counter service at Disney.

Love this place! The food is always delish and served hot. The seating area is great with the views of "the Rivers of America". The perfect place for lunch.

We were hungry and wanted some burgers. So, we tried the Hungry Bear Restaurant. We will not make the mistake again. You order at the counter and then take your food to your seat. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers with fries. The burgers were somewhat cold, the meat was not even as good as most fast food restaurants. The only good part were the fries. For the price, I would not go back. It was under $20 but we could have gotten better food elsewhere. We did not even finish our burgers. I like the location of the restaurant, above the Rivers of America and I was interested in the cat that roamed the tables but other than that, I would not go back again.
