Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Oh wow, the fried green tomato sandwich and salad sound yummy! (Yes, I said yummy and I meant it) I had all but given up on the HB, but now I need to check it out next time I'm in the parks.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I like the sound of it, different. Plus the desserts sound great (though the one real cullinary lament of living in Britain, fruit pies are no where near as good as in the States). I haven't have a blueberry pie now in maybe 4 years.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I'm glad the menu has changed - like Dabob, I always liked sitting there for the atmosphere overlooking the river, but the burgers left a lot to be desired!

Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 I am excited about this new menu. The old menu was nothing more than you would get at any fast food burger place. I really want to try those cupcakes!
Originally Posted By fkurucz "The old menu was nothing more than you would get at any fast food burger place." Hungry Bear Burgers made Mickey D's look good by comparison. They tasted like cardboard.
Originally Posted By lesmisfan this is probably the first time in forever that i want to try to eat at the hungry bear restuarant! I am dying to try the fried green tomato sandwich!
