This was the best roast beef poboy I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of roast beef poboys. I highly recommend getting it fully dressed. This place is popular, and for good reason. The lines were long and the tables were packed at noon, so try and beat the crowd. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I hope to go back soon.
I’ve been coming to bears with my gramps since I was little. The staff is always super friendly. The food is top notch. We always get a roast beef po boy and some root beer. Prices are affordable and the food is great. Other options aside from roast beef is chicken shrimp ham and more. The place is super clean. The only downside is the parking since it is a pretty popular spot parking can be a haste but I would highly recommend to anyone that likes a good po boy sandwich.
Service was fast & efficient .Friendly staff. Clean tables & seating area. Food was awesome, fresh ,tasty. Sandwiches were packed with meat, fresh French Bread(Po-Boy) the Roast Beef was tender, tasty, gravy was great. Best I've had in years, closes at 3pm, so check it out. Very crowded but line to order goes fast and efficient by decent & dedicated staff. Table area quickly cleaned up after patrons who didnt pick up after themselves. Restroom was clean ,Hot water and paper towels, soap provided. Just off busy Hwy 21-N Collins, crowded parking at peak times. Suggest go after 2pm, a line but goes quick. Try the Roast beef po-boy...The Ferdie(ham & roast beef combo) Amazing!
Known them since the 1970?? Have not changed sense... The BEST roast beef in Louisiana by far !!!
I have been coming here since I was a kid in the seventies. I think it used to be just a little stand back then. I no longer live near Covington, but if I am within a hundred miles I will go out of my way for their roast beef po boy. It is perfect in every conceivable way. I might be obsessed. However, I noticed on my most recent visit that the bread was different. I hope this was just a temporary thing, like maybe a temporary supply issue because the bread is about 30 percent of what makes their sandwiches outstanding. The bread is usually very crispy French bread. The kind that leave crumbs all over the place, but you can't even care because it's so good. The other 70 percent of what makes this sandwich so special is the thinly-sliced, succulent roast beef with just a bit of jus. The jus mixes with the mayo in the best way. The freshly shredded lettuce and perfectly ripe, thin tomato slices round out the sandwich. Every component is delicious and fresh. It is perfect! It actually might be a good thing I no longer live close by.
Bears poboys are always the best. I can never complain about their food or their workers. Only thing I hope they do is move to a bigger location to get more setting and more parking because they are always busy and I know it will still be jammed pack even with a bigger area. Amazing food.
The best roast beef poboy in town. I would drive 30 minutes for one. The fried shrimp and oysters are tasty. They are one of two places I go to in the Mandeville area.
Love their food!!! I felt the great relief feeling after first bite. Most restaurants changed their food over the years but Bears food quality is still the same. BBQ shrimp is my favorite but too bad I’m too far located to go there often. I wish they often on Saturday like they used to. #1 Poboy in Louisiana!
