HUNGRY BEAR DRIVE IN – American
A weekday-lunch fixture on Osceola Avenue, the Hungry Bear Drive In opens at eleven, shuts at three and takes weekends off entirely. Sizing is the house system and the house joke: Baby, Mama, Papa and Grandpa Bear, scaling from a modest patty to something that needs both hands. Fried and grilled chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and corn dogs, fried pork loin and a proper BLT fill out the board, with corn nuggets, onion rings and sweet potato fries alongside and thick milkshakes to finish. Cathy and Linda tend to have the regulars' orders started before they ask.
