The Bear Cat Cafe

SEEKING A RESTAURATEUR!The Bearcat Cafe! CALL IN, DRIVE THROUGH, DINE-IN, OR CARRY-OUT! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and other times by appointment. The Bearcat Cafe has been a local favorite for food, fun, and gatherings in Antlers Oklahoma for over 20+ years! This cafe and gathering place is known for fresh meat, home-cooking, and quality ingredients. Great location on a corner lot on Main Street in Antlers, OK. This is where U.S. Hwy 271 and State Hwy 3 merge, with lots of out-of-town customers coming from Texas to Oklahoma, from the Ouachita National Forest or Broken Bow Oklahoma, Paris, TX, and McAlester & and all the way up to Tulsa, OK. Now, this great cafe is also a local hang-out for over 20 years. The Bearcat also caters to the Antlers high school crowd- whose mascot is also the bearcat! After all the sports games in Antlers, from elementary through high school, the Bearcat cafe is where they all gather to eat. This is where the ladies bridge club comes, and other clubs come to have their meetings, the food is really that good. The cafe also bakes birthday cakes and cooks for special events, since Antlers doesn't have a bakery. Lets not forget the regulars that come every day, or weekly, which adds to the local flavor. This is an Income producing restaurant, books will be open to serious buyers. The Bearcat moved to its current location in September 2015. The owners remodeled the entire building (40 X 34 sq. ft.) new metal roof, new electric, new plumbing, all new paint in and out, new tin and wood ceiling, LED lighting, new counters, new tables, chairs and bar stools, new appliances! This is really a phenomenal deal for a restauranteur or entrepreneur looking for a thriving business to step into. The owners will also mentor the purchasers for six months. The main cook may be willing to stay -- she is reliable, friendly, and experienced in cooking; there are several other staff that would like to stay on! In addition to the restaurant building, inventory, appliances, and the Bearcat name, the sale includes all the Bearcat recipes, including their famous chicken fried steak, secret house sauce, chicken dumplings, Italian soup, Zeldas Salad, and others. The appliances include a brand-new, never used deli meat slicer, and a meat grinder, so no matter what items you want to add to your menu, you'll be ready to go. An inventory list is also available. There is a lot of potential here for more growth, depending on what the new restaurant owners prefer. Next to the restaurant is the separate office/storage building (28 X 15.5 sq. ft.) with a handicap ramp. Its brand new in 2015, and there are two refrigerator/freezer units inside as well. This office space is where the Bearcat is run behind the scenes, and the shelving and storage is a great bonus! The restaurant also has a drive-through window and drive way, if the new owners want to continue the drive-thru business. One current customer drives through everyday to order fried steak for his retrievers - lucky dogs! You'll make money, new friends -- local and out of state, and have fun doing it. Hey, you may not even call it work! You can view their YouTube video - The Bearcat Cafe was named the Best sandwich by The Best of Texoma, and named one of the best restaurants in the Antlers area!
