First time to this iconic restaurant (decorated with bear theme), the Hungry Bear located on main street in Woodland Park, Colorado. The restaurant seems to be a favorite around this mountain town, as the small parking lot is always full with a line of people waiting. Visited early on a Sunday morning, which we were able to gain a table for two right away, but dining room filled quickly with a wait list following.
The front staff and servers were all very friendly, and work efficiently together to service the tables. The menu was full of comfort food options for breakfast and lunch. Coffee and water were brought quickly to the table, followed by our ordering of food. Timing of food service was on point, and delivered hot to the table. Chicken fried steak and eggs were fairly standard for most places, but the side pancakes were light and fluffy, and a meal in itself. (Special note: the sugar free syrup was served in a warmed bottle, nice touch!) The Chicken and Green Chili Omlette was large, with a minimal amount of chicken smothered with their version of green chili (more like combo of Colorado green chili and red chili).
Overall, the food was good and the staff friendly and accommodating. After this first visit, and knowing better the menu and food selection, we would return for a nice comfort food breakfast.
Tips for your visit: Go early, or plan on a wait. Food wise, whatever you order, choose pancakes as your side or full breakfast, and for any Omlette consider adding on fresh veggies or cheese if not included to spruce up the eggs.

So happy to be back after 9 years. Still the best spicy breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! Servers are so welcoming and we enjoyed all the bear themed decor. A must visit when you stop in Woodland Park!

Great local breakfast joint and they also serve lunch and salads. Beautiful views right on the main strip, Hwy24. Excellent coffee, and you'll find something for anyone. Can't go wrong at this mom and pop grease spoon...

It was a busy Saturday with the art festival but this was meh at best. Hash browns were barely cooked and not seasoned, omelet had no flavor nor cheese. Pancakes were fluffy saving this from a 1 star review.

Best breakfast we had while in the area!!! The pancakes are absolutely delicious. There was about a 15 min wait but totally worth it!! All breakfast items we had were so good!! Biscuits and gravy were awesome.
