Bear's Smokehouse BBQ

Bear's Smokehouse BBQ runs barbecue restaurants in Asheville, North Carolina, and in several Connecticut towns, including Hartford, New Haven and Storrs. The menu is built around barbecue, and the company also sells its sauces and spice rubs, which are available to take home.

Guests can order for pickup or delivery, and the company handles catering and events, with food trucks as well. Gift cards and a loyalty program are offered, and a happy hour menu is available. Some locations sit inside other venues, such as Sweeten Creek Brewing in Asheville and the UConn Student Union in Storrs.
