Reviews for Black Bear Bistro & Brick Oven in Warrenton, VA
First off, I was very adamant about not wanting to sit outside because it was freezing cold. The hostess assured me it was fine... because they had heaters out there so I agreed. The heaters didn?t even have any propane which I?m sure they were well aware of.So we sat outside and froze and the food got cold immediately after it came out. By the end of the meal the hostess came outasking if we wanted to move inside because she wanted to clear our table????? No. I wanted to sit inside to begin with. Notbecause you want to clear my table to leave earlier. Second, my friend had ordered 3 drinks. Two of which she received afterwaiting 30 minutes. She was charged for 3 drinks. We told our server Lindsay (who by the way should probably find a newprofession because serving isn?t it) who insisted she brought out 3. We advised her she surely did not. When she brings out thethird drink that was PAID FOR she tells us she very much already gave 3 and it was ?on the house? I can tell you right now itmost definitely was paid for and never received and I find it extremely rude to argue with a table and make that comment.Service was terrible, froze the whole time, but at least the food was good ???????? ???????????

Great first time experience. Stopped by for a quick bite after a recommendation from another local business. Margerite pizza was... delicious and staff was very friendly. Large and adorable outdoor dining area. Highly recommend! Read more
We enjoyed our pizza! Delicious! The conversation was entertaining as well. A couple and their four children sat outside as the... rest of us sat inside. My friend and I listened to a man inside awestruck at the couple with the four kids and eavesdropped onhis personal thoughts and feelings about parenting. It made for great entertainment. Read more
LOVED this place. We were hesitant at first but the food is amazing and the service was great!! Would visit again.
I'm only leaving a review because of the outrageous disparity between price and quality. For 25 dollar entrees, I expect food... that is at least edible. The Butternut ravioli and Vodka Rigatoni however would have been better pre-packaged at a grocery storeand microwaved. It's almost like they took microwaved sauces and then tried to "fix" them but ultimately made it worse. Thatbeing said the service was excellent, the location is beautiful and they are dog friendly.

Food and service was amazing! We went on a hot day and it was very nice and cool inside. They also they had some limited outside... seating that we saw, which looked nice. Our server allowed for several of us at the table to try the different beers they had 2dark beer options which is not always the case. They also had an awesome lunch special, any pizza and side salad for $9.99, andit was plenty of food! I also ordered a children?s meal which was humongous and more than enough to share between my 2 kids (mypicture is of half). The French fries were my favorite so so delicious. I also ordered the quesadillas app, and added chickenfor 5$ it was also delicious. I did find a chicken bone in my food, and the waitress not only apologized, she also gave us 10%off the entire bill. And the only reason I gave 4/5 stars is because the bathrooms need to be updated. One of my biggestproblems with any restaurant is that there is no changing table in the bathroom for a baby. But there was a random storage doorthat was open in one of the bathroom stalls and I could hear the noise from the restaurant kitchen while I was going to thebathroom. All in all, a great experience and I would definitely recommend and return! Read more
