There was a twenty minute wait, which was expected. Our server, Laurie, had a full section, but was still really attentive and great at recommending GLB's specialities to me and my brother. Beer selection is great, wing and sandwich selection is huge. I had the PB & J bird sandwhich which was awesome and my brother had the salt and vinegar wings (which are whole drums and flats attached) and enjoyed them. Laurie then brought us a free sample of chili which was to die for!Vegetarian options: There is a whole section of vegetarian options ranging from mushroom burgers, salads, and other veggie sandwiches.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free drink and food options.Parking: Parking can be found on the street or beside the restaurant. Fills up fast.Kid-friendliness: Lots of space and a patient staff

The Great Lost Bear is a fun and eclectic restaurant outside downtown Portland. Everywhere is some funky or funny artwork for you to see. The seating area is spread out through multiple rooms - you'll be sure to have fun no matter where you sit. Service was awesome from start to finish.The menu contains sandwiches, barbecue dishes, and bar-style appetizers. Portions are massive and well-priced. We shared the homemade jalapeno poppers, which came out piping hot. Be sure to get a side of ranch! We also enjoyed the PB&J Bird and the Angry Bird. Largest chicken sandwiches we have ever seen - enough for leftovers. Beer & cocktail menus were equally impressive.The outside seating looks like a blast - definitely coming back for a drink on the patio!

Go when it's not so crowded. Food is okay. It's a bit pricey. The waitress we had was awesome and very nice. It's a great place for a meet-up with friends.

Great, pub-like atmosphere! We've been going here for over a year. The food has been consistently delicious. Special shout out to their Mac and cheese with chili and their awesome wings! Always had very nice service. It's a fairly large space, too. Good if you have a larger group. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
