Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great service & food. Very nice atmosphere as well. We’ve been going there for years & were wondering if quality, price service & menu would change when they sold to new owners. Very happy to report that they made a few minor changes, but overall...it’s still as good as ever. Living in a small town has limited dining options, but I would definitely recommend The Bear Club if you’d like an upscale dining experience at an affordable price.More

I grew up in Reedley during the 1950s and 1960s, and the Bear Club was already an "elite" institution at that time; I can't remember a time when it wasn't there. I do think it's changed hands, but I've been eating there since the 1970s...from time to time. Quality is consistent: very good. I'm really talking about the food; the wine was fine, too. Kind of a country club bar atmosphere (which I suggest having never been in a country club); classy and casual at the same time.More

While it had been awhile since having lunch there , we were severely disappointed in the portions served for lunch entrees. The signature Kabob lunch for 16.99 was grossly overpriced or under portioned A small side salad, some carrots and barely a stick of kabob...meat. Won’t be returning anytime soon if this is their idea of a lunch plate. Service was quite good tho.More

We enjoyed pomegranate margaritas and a delicious meal. My shish kebab was fork tender and perfectly seasoned. I opted for a double order of vegetables instead of pilaf- they were cooked al dente and tasted great. My partner had the NY steak and loved it....I was happy to see that they still do the lettuce salads with raisins, homemade croutons and crumbled blue cheese. Service was attentive. It was nice to dine out and be able to have a conversation— it can be difficult to do that in some Fresno restaurants due to the noise. Homemade chocolate kahlua ice cream finished off our meal. We will definitely be back.More

So glad we picked the Bear Club to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with family and friends. Chef Juan and his staff were great! They made it easy to plan such a gathering with the room we could use, linens, and best of all the...delicious appetizers and meals served! Thank You Bear Club for making our evening and dinner so special!More

The Bear Club in Reedley is the best. Owned by the chef Juan's family the Restraunt is very consistent. Delicious steak and seafood, the Salmon is our favorite. A nice selection of wines and cocktails are offered in a comfortable environment. Lunch and Sunday Brunch...is also served.More

Bear Club has been a favorite for decades for lunch or dinner on special occasions. Always excellent options, seafood is always great as well as other dishes. Homemade ice creams are wonderful. The restaurant can accommodate a large group and takes reservations. For an excellent...restaurant, the prices are reasonable.More

Well, I've eaten here at least two dozen times, probably 4 times since it's new owners took over. It's ok. But you will overpay for what you get. Servers don't know a thing about the menu or specials. They refer you to the menus so...really, you are on your own. Not a big variety but likely you'll find something you want. Basic offerings steak, chicken, fish, one or two of each. Drinks ok, most served with side car but nothing I can recommmend, service staff again has no idea what brands are stocked so again, you are on your own. Wife ordered rib eye steak priced nicely at $29, steak about a skinny 1/2 inch.she loved her drinks and salad. Ordered the calmari steak, was tasty for the roughly 6 bites it was. For Reedley it's ok maybe the best it has to offer. $245 for 4 with tip. Consider if you wish to drive for something better.....lots of great options in visalia or fresno.More

This place has been a staple with travellers and locals for many years and we always eat here when we come back to my wife's hometown for a visit. This visit was a little disappointing. The cocktails were weak and while the the salmon and...shrimp scampi were good, the flat iron steak was grisely and tough. The service was slow...we ordered wine but when the server brought it to our table, we were done with our meal.More

You don't have to go to fresno for a pleasant and relaxed dinner! The Bear Club is here to save you from the drive. The chef is doing an outstanding job there. The beef they serve is delectable. There is no better burger in town....And the chicken thighs with a bacon gravy? You almost feel guilty eating it...almost. Make sure under NO circumstances do you leave with out having a dish of their homemade ice cream as well!More

Although the Bear Club in Reedley is under new ownership the quality and service is still great. My wife and I love to drive from Fresno to Reedley for lunch. Their 8 oz New York steak is the best! Be sure to top it off...with the home made meyer lemon ice cream! I live in Fresno but if I want a good steak I drive to Reedley and go to the Bear Club. I have never been disappointed at the Bear Club. The service has always been great and they are now open on weekends. I highly recommend the Bear Club.More

Reedley California is not what you would call a cosmopolitan type of place. My Mother is from Reedley and I can remember as a kid when she would take us back to visit, we made at least one stop at “The Bear Club”. My Mother...has recently moved back to Reedley and on our first visit to her new digs, we had a lovely dinner at Jon’s Bear Club. It reminds me as an adult now, of those old school restaurants from the 60’s. Dark paneling, dark furniture, dark carpeting, low lights. I can picture Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack sitting at the bar, waiting for their table, that kinda place. Between the three of us we had a Chicken, Salmon and Steak dinner, all very nicely cooked and presented. Mom had dessert, fresh Ice Cream, can’t remember what flavor, she wasn’t sharing. Again, this is Reedley, it’s not fancy here folks, “The Bear Club” is just honest, good food, that’s it.More
