Today was our first visit to the Bear and Bottle. We went for the staples-burger and chicken tenders. First off, I started with the butternut squash soup which was piping hot, The food tasty and delicious-but not too heavy. The food arrived in a very timely fashion. I had 3 large chicken tenders which were crispy in a medium batter. The chicken itself was tender and flavorful. I had a choice of dipping sauces which was nice. The husband had the cheeseburger. It arrived perfectly cooked as requested with pickles, onions, lettuce tomato and lots of cheese. The bun was also delicious. If you are a fry lover, this is the place for you.Both orders came with copious amounts of hand cut delicious fries. Everything, including the service, price and atmosphere was just right on our lunch visit. I think we will be back.
