Handcrafted burgers from fresh-ground chuck, hand-cut fries, grilled dawgs, and the cherry limeade that beats any chain in Texas. Canyon's hometown favorite.
Larry Wesley was born and raised in Canyon, Tx. He and his wife Janice had a bbq restaurant for 30 years in Amarillo called Wesleys Bean pot & bbq. Larry and their son, Barry "bear" Tredway Jr opened bears burgers and dawgs in December 2017. Barry ran the restaurant until December 2025 when he decided he needed a job with insurance. He has since gotten a job with the city of Amarillo. We, Larry and Janice, came out of retirement to continue Bears Burgers and Dawgs.
Every patty is hand-formed in-house from fresh ground chuck — never a freezer in sight.
Fries cut from real potatoes every morning. Crispy outside, fluffy inside — no bags, no shortcuts.
Families, WT students, and Canyon regulars all find a seat — and a friendly face — at Bear's table.
Reader's Choice "Best Hamburger" every year since we opened our doors. The people have spoken.
These are the dishes Canyon keeps coming back for.
Canyon knows a good burger when it tastes one.
"The burgers are MONSTER — you will not leave hungry. They use ground chuck that gives them a ton of flavor. Got to speak with Bear himself and he was very friendly. Found a new spot on the map."
"My wife enjoyed her chili cheese dawg and she doesn't even like hot dogs. The cherry limeade is fantastic — surpasses the one from that big chain. Very welcoming and made us feel right at home."
"Great, friendly service, appropriately casual ambiance, and ample seating. Juicy hand-formed patties with unique twists on classic dishes. Bear greets you personally — that alone makes it worth the trip."
Right here in Canyon — easy to find, impossible to forget.
