My wife I recently had the pleasure of dining at Black Bear Diner, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy meal. A special shoutout to Art the manager, whose attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out. It s clear that they take pride in creating a welcoming environment for all guests. Our server, Claudette, was an absolute gem! Her friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu made our dining experience even better. She was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our drinks were always filled and that we had everything we needed. Claudettes recommendations were spot-on, and her passion for the food really shone through. The food itself was delicious comforting classic diner fare that hits the spot every time. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return. We highly recommend Black Bear Diner, not just for the fantastic food, but also for the outstanding service provided by Claudette and the entire team. Cant wait for my next visit!

Well, the food was just OK. Only good thing was the Large portions, but the food is mediocre at best. Ordered a chicken fried steak with eggs and hashbrowns. The chicken fried steak looked and tasted as if it was from a frozen food section with very little flavor, definitely not fresh. The eggs were good, but the hashbrowns were just, just ok. Biscuits were large, fluffy, and good. But this is the 3rd time I have come here and I am disappointed with the taste of the food. Very bland and no effort to improve the flavor of the food. Last time i ordered the new york strip with eggs, the flavor for the Steak was also bland and was over cooked. I wish I didnt have to do a negative review, Wont be going back any time soon.

Had heard good things about this chain, so when I had a chance to visit, I decided to have breakfast. Not impressed. Service was good considering there was only 1 server while there. Ordered two eggs with a bacon dish and a side of ham. The amount of food was good. The flavor not so much. The potatoes and eggs were bland. No flavor, no spices used, nothing just blandness. The bacon and ham tasted fine good, though. The prices seemed a bit high... California prices came to mind. But with the economy it could be everything is costing more these days. Maybe lunch and dinner are better times to visit, but dont make a mad dash for breakfast.

First time eating here. The greeting was warm and genuine. The menu is actually in newspaper format and there were so many choices. I was really hungry so I ordered the Grizzly? It was a large chicken fried steak with 3 eggs prepared your choice, thick-cut hash-browns, and either a couple of large pancakes or a couple of biscuits. I was not prepared for the biscuits. They were HUGE! I could not finish this order. You should visit. The restaurant is clean and the service is excellent.

First time we went and we liked it, it feels like a very nineties atmosphere, the food is delicious, and the pancakes are not to mention. They lack staff for service, but their waitresses still make an effort to serve you. They have their own brand sauces in the center of the table that I really liked and they are very spicy . Ill be back to try more things

Understaffed, but pleasant interactions. Food is elevated diner fare, and worth the extra money in comparison to other chain diners. Ambiance can be loud, so I recommend sitting in a booth. The decorations are entertaining, and I love that they use newsprint for the menu.

The service is good and the food is pretty good. I love their thick cut bacon. I ordered a breakfast combo and asked for over medium eggs and got over easy. The eggs hardly cooked on the grill and the hashbrowns were basically boiled and not crispy at all.

4th Black Bear location Ive been to (really love this franchise). Service and atmosphere were top-notch. Super friendly seating host and server. However, the food took a while and it wasnt my favorite. My burger was a little dry and bland. And the iced/sweet tea was not a good brew (honestly tasted a bit funky).

We came in for late breakfast and there was nobody in line and no one to seat us,hostess never showed up, we asked two servers if we could seat at the counter, they refused arguing it was not ready but did nothing to prepare it. Very bad attitude. After 12 minutes we better left for Denny s, were service was great and quick. Will never come back.

We decided to eat dinner today, after reading some 5 star reviews perhaps they had a better experience that I did. I decided to give a 1 star review Ask for eggs not to be overly cook and burn but they did, so I send it back and they redid my plate and this time they serve me raw eggs . I personally would not go back even if the food was to be free. Ihop,Dennys and Cracker Barrel do way better.

We visited for the third time on Father s Day. We were able to sit at the bar top and got to witness just how hard the cooks work. The restaurant was incredibly busy, which is common, but the cooks worked seamlessly together with each other and the wait staff. The food is always delicious and the wait staff is also very friendly. Please exercise patience if you are visiting during a busy time. Great food takes time to prepare. Can t wait to come back again!

Service was good up until I had to go to the bathroom and there was not toilet seat covers. When I asked the woman, she came back and told me they had none. I really had a hard time believing that this chain would not keep basic health, cleanliness products available to its customers. Then the wait staff laughed about me questioning these not being available. Granted, I am from California and am used to toilet seat covers being provided. Speaking to my father in law, apparently the mens bathroom does not have them either.

Food was okay, I had chicken fried steak, flavor was mainly COMMING from the gravy which wasnt much, sweet potatoes tasted off for me personally, CFS was well fried but taste wasnt all there, Mac n cheese was good, service was amazing but reason I give a low ratting for food is because I woke up at 1:30 in the morning due to it not sitting well in my stomach, can confidently say that its not a common occurrence that food makes me feel queezy, service and atmosphere was a very high rating, but the food is making it tough for me

Pesto sauce on the salmon tasted like gravey. The garlic parmesean toast was wet on the bottom. Waitress forgot to bring our our salad and then gave us the wrong dressing. We found a small roach that crawled out from under the salad plate!! Now we u derstand why is was so slow when we arrived . Sadly we wont be back.

Me and my mom came here for some breakfast, and it was amazing! The servers were really friendly and patient. I got seasonal pancakes, which are blue berries and my mom got classic egg Benedict and both were equally delicious. I got apple juice and she got coffee the server always kept her coffee nice and warm! Their menus are really nice, it s a newspaper style and had info on the diner and the menu.

I had been to a Black Bear in CA that was excellent. At this one we ordered Pot Roast. We asked the waitress did it come with potatoes and she said no. But when the dish came it did have them. Si now one of my side dishes was potatoes and the dish had potatoes. The carrots and cellery were under the meat and gravy with some potatoes. The carrots and cellery were not cooked. The potatoes had dark spots on them like they werent good potatoes they used. We told our waitress and she took our playes and said they would have to cook another meal and leave the carrots out. This took a second time waiting. The manager seemed nice and apologized and we didnt have to pay. It was a dad day as we were really looking forward to a good meal again.

We asked our good friends out to dinner, our treat, but they had to pick the restaurant. They picked Olive Garden. So off we went, and on the way, the conversation started up about this Black Bear restaurant, which is close to Olive Garden, and always wanted to try it. Left turn, Clyde! WHAT A GREAT CHOICE IT WAS!! Im thinking, I just walked into a restaurant in Ely Minnesota, dont ya know. This is a WINTER TEXANS place to go, and if ya havent been here, by all means, go there. Loved it even the menus are unique. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. They have their own APP you can download and order and deliver. Thanks for a wonderful evening, Black Bear! We will be back so will our friends.
