Fall at Hungry Bear: Patio Days, Fish Fry Fridays & Holiday Pies
Fall has arrived in Bonduel, and the kitchen at Hungry Bear - Cafe & Catering is busy. Grab a patio table while the weather holds for a sunny breakfast or lunch, then warm up inside with a bowl of our homemade soup or chili. On Fridays we stay open until 8:00 PM for Fish Fry Friday, with our homemade chowder served Fridays only.
Planning ahead for Thanksgiving and the holidays? Whole homemade pies can be ordered by the pie — call (715) 758-2727 to ask about this week’s flavors. We’re also booking holiday catering for office parties, family gatherings and graduation open houses, so reserve your date early.

What Our Customers Say
The Mediterranean omelet was delicious. The staff was very friendly. All around, a great experience!
Yummy food. Home-style cooking.
Excellent service. Nice staff. Very well maintained, cozy and family friendly place. Variety of options for every appetite! I particularly enjoyed the 8oz lemon pepper tuna steak, loved the fact that it was not greasy and the coleslaw wasn’t bathed in sauce. Also loved the sourdough black bread. 100% recommended.
We had breakfast here and it was excellent. Great food, service and atmosphere. Best breakfast we’ve had in a long time.
They have an inventive menu and the food was fantastic! The fries were perfectly crispy. We sat outside to enjoy the warm weather and our server Austin was helpful and attentive! It’s a little out of the way but well worth the trip!
