Originally Posted By DlandDug Ate there this afternoon (out of the rain!). The fried green tomato sandwich was delicious. DizKid had the chili cheeseburger-- it looked really good.

I'm going back-- not something I would say in the past about the Hungry Bear!
Originally Posted By VickiHD We ate there on Saturday. The cupcake was the BEST!!! We had the turkey sandwich, and tomato sandwich and it was OK. Sweet potatoes fries were especially good. Much improvement over the last menu. Just a note...Not impressed with the price of the hamburger. Over $9.00 and we're not cheap. But it did look good and will probably try that next time.

I don't remember exactly what they were before, but I think they were similar. Yah, the prices are high, and a pain especially when the food's not too good, but I don't think that these are too absurd. It's cheaper than the price for the Pastrami Cheeseburger at Village Haus ($10.49). Interesting to note, according to allears.net, the chili cheeseburger at Taste Pilot's in DCA is cheaper. I wonder if there is any difference between the two... >>Chase Pilots Cheddar Burger - The classic burger with a slice of Cheddar cheese $9.49<< >>Pioneer Chili Cheeseburger - Angus 1/3 lb. Chuck Burger with home-style chili, cheese and a hand-battered onion ring. $10.19<<

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I think the cheeseburger meal on the previous menu was over $8. So unless the Chili burger comes w/ no side at all it isn't that huge a price increase.
Originally Posted By tashajilek I dont think the prices are really that bad either. Then again i live in Canada and our prices for everything are way higher.
