Running Bear Pancake House
Last Updated: January 2026
Overview
About This Establishment
The Grizzly Bear bites back with a tender chicken-fried steak and thick, peppery gravy that clings to eggs and hashbrowns. Cinnamon Roll Cakes puff up fluffy and swirled with frosting, like a breakfast carnival in your mouth. Walleye Tacos snap with crisp fish and a jalapeño-creamy kiss, while huckleberry lemonade cuts any grease with bright, tart notes. This place wears its diner DNA on a bear-mascot sleeve and never pretends to be fancy—just real, hearty breakfast and lunch heat.
