Bear + Flag Roadside

Found this place on a Sunday drive out to Carmel valley, stopped by to grab sandwiches and was pleasantly surprised at the bbq sandwich options. Being from GA we were skeptical but gave them a try. Holy cow!!! My husband had the Tri-Tip sandwich and I had the Muther Clucker (love the name) pictures speak for themselves, the chicken was massive on my sandwich, perfectly moist, sauce was on point and it went great with our wine! Highly recommend! Will be back!

OK, first honesty is very important to me and I don't like saying bad things about anyplace. I expected great things by the reviews average 4.5 very good score and owner responds to many reviews. Here's the good stuff, great menu ,good service indoors and outdoor dining options . Very clean well maintained and obviously does a good job serving great tasting food. However, my experience was not impressive. I ordered their flagship Bear and Flag double burger and fries .I was only 1 of 3 customers, and It was definitely not busy. It took 10 minutes for my burger, OK it arrives at my table in a bag wrapped up, same with fries? I was asked to go when I ordered? I said no for here and sat down at a table. So I unwrapped the burger and was surprised at the appearance of the bun. Look at the

Recommended by my boss so we go and have the most sassy experience, was around lunch - out of any type of palatable meat which is understandable. Went for the turkey ciabatta and have to say the bread and avocado was my favorite part. Plenty of area to walk around and take in the scenery, a park nearby also to enjoy time with the family or alone. Restrooms only available when asked otherwise you’re out of luck. Service was sub par wouldn’t dream of enjoying my meal with a smile here apparently.

So thankful for a place that exceeds your expectations that you didn’t even know you had! Found this sweet pit stop on accident. It is so nice. Great patio. The brisket looked amazing. We opted for two of the best salads and French fries to go. We asked for beach recommendations from the kindest girl working the counter. She was so friendly. Helped us with our order. She was patient and kind. And then sent us to experience the best night! Thank you for great healthy food and a night that made great memories. 🤍

If there’s a Michelin rating for the sandwich shop then this is the place that deserves it. My wife had a BLT while I enjoyed the mother clucker. Both were amazing sandwiches. They have a great wine and champagne selection as well as Pliney the elder as their beer, how cool is that?
