Stopped in to check the menu, and on that particular day there was only a buffet option which was a non-option for a vegan meal. The menu was not accommodating for a person looking for a non-meat based meal.

My husband and I came here for lunch (arctic char melt, corned beef Reuben, and sausage gumbo or jambalaya), then returned again for dinner (pan fried arctic char with baked potatoes). The servers are friendly and the food was good. Dinner took awhile to come...out due to a kitchen backup (45 mins), but it seemed that was a rarity. Lunch was served in a normal time frame. We found this to be the nicest restaurant in town.More

The lodge is pretty and the servers are very sweet and friendly. Since everyone tends to eat at the same time, the servers can be slow due to the rush. The food was very good and our table-mates also agreed. It is a dry restaurant...but they have lemonade, tea, juices, etc. They also accommodate early tours by opening early. I saw comments about price. Everything in Churchill is imported in unless it's locally procured so prices are high everywhere. :)More

We stayed at the Lazy Bear Lodge. We thought the food was much better than we expected and the servers were very nice. We didn't like the tours at the lodge but the rest was good.

Food is hard to come by in the summer in Churchill. There were three restaurants open for limited hours. (The other two are more casual Dining. One place, the Seaport, was closed while we were there.) Food in any form in Churchill is terrifically expensive...given the difficulty of shipping it in. We enjoyed several meals st the Lazy Bear. Food and veggies are fresh, very well prepared and nicely presented. The French fries are hand made, fresh and amazing. Desserts good too! The log lodge is charming. Like everything in Churchill, prices are high, but these meals were worth it. Oh, and no Alcohol is served here.More

We ate 5 meals at the Lazy Bear Cafe. The menu was varied and the servers were very nice. The food was generally tasty but some items needed to be sent back for re-heating. At lunch & dinner, it took a while to get our...food after ordering even though the restaurant was not crowded.More

The Lazy Bear Lodge is where the cafe is located. We ate lunch there but the menu provides for everything. The meal was great, fairly priced and was an enjoyable place to spend some quiet time. Service was superb.

Here is a community devastated by travel restrictions from COVID 19. Last year they had only 10% of tourism and this year 20% of normal numbers. They also dealt with a loss of train service to Churchill a few years ago that dramatically increased costs...of food snd supplies because it became a “fly in” community. Lazy Bear has survived everything thrown at it snd thrived. The menu is imaginative and features some local products such as Arctic Char and Pickerel and some produce from their local greenhouse. The dining room is rustic pine with a fireplace used in cold weather. Service can be spotty at times because they are short staffed and putting in 14 hour days so kudos to them. The rooms are comfortable as are the linens. Toiletries are high quality. In the end it comes down to staff. These people are amazing and kudos to themMore

There was not any other option but overall the food was good. The service was very slow. No fruit options for desert. I tried hamburger once and that was not very good. Very leathery and hard to chew. Chicken sandwich, Taco, appetizers and soup were...all good.More

Food was excellent. My family of 5 ate supper here 4 days in a row. Arctic char, bison, elk, pasta dishes, burgers, everything was very tasty. They don’t serve alcohol but honestly meals were so tasty I didn’t miss it. I appreciated also that they...were open for sit down dining while the other restaurants in town were only doing takeout. It was very busy but the serving staff always had smiles on their faces. Very nice atmosphere. If you are Churchill definitely put them on your list for dining.More

We just arrived and were welcome. I don't know if reservations are required. However, it may be a good idea to call ahead. There s a motel attached and those guests have a package that includes meals.
