Sadie was amazing! There was a customer giving her a real hard time and she remained calm and handled it like a professional even after he continued to be disrespectful towards her. Sadie was super friendly to us even after dealing with the rude customer and kept a smile on her face while dealing with us. The service was outstanding here and the food was awesome as well! And our server , Aaliyah was also the best, super friendly and very customer service oriented . I highly recommend eating here!!!
Food is absolutely delicious! Love their fluffy pancakes. This time around, our waitress made our dining very enjoyable. Ana, was very attentive, she was impressively swift on a busy morning, and was knowledgeable about the menu. Her warm, friendly demeanor and impeccable manners turn a simple meal into a memorable occasion.
Food was awesome! Service was really good also. Strip steak was well worth it! Chicken fried steak is huge if you order the 10oz!
Today’s visit turned an average Thursday morning into an amazing breakfast experience! Marylou was a fantastic waitress and ensured our orders were perfect and the coffee superb. If you haven’t stopped in yet, what the heck are you waiting for? Do yourself a favor and enjoy a delicious and hearty meal today!!
We absolutely loved our visit to Black Bear! 🐻 The portions were huge and definitely worth the price. The hospitality was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Every dish we tried was delicious and tasted homemade — you can tell they put love into their food. The cozy, rustic décor inside made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to again and again! Update on Our Black Bear Experience 🐻🍴 We came back tonight for round two — because a truly honest review means you’ve gotta try it more than once! This time, I went for the Pot Roast Melt. Flavor was good, but a bit dry… until they brought the sauce out after I’d already eaten half. 🤷🏻♀️ Lesson learned: ask for the sauce upfront. Now, here’s something we didn’t know Fridays are All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry night! My husband was sold instantly (reminded him of his hometown). The fish? Absolutely delicious 🤤 fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy every time. The only catch? You have to order it piece by piece. Great for keeping it fresh, but when you’ve got kids and you’re waiting between pieces, it’s not exactly the fastest dining experience. Still, smart marketing and worth it if you’re patient… or kid-free. 😉
Staff was very friendly! The food was delicious! First time going to any of these locations and exceeded expectations!!! The portions are hearty!!! Definitely recommend that chicken fried steak and pancakes! If you’re looking for some big portions definitely come here!
We first went here because we received a gift card for Christmas. We loved it so much we have gone again. Portions are big and food is quite good overall, although the tri-tip could do with a bit more seasoning. The chicken fried steak and the scrambles are fantastic. Biscuits are perfect, doughy and hearty, and the gravy is delicious. Especially love the bread pudding 🤤! They also serve breakfast all day which is great. Service is well paced and super friendly.
It was very good food. Very well made fresh and full of flavor. Service was personable and kind, and fairly quick. There was a long wait to get a table and again between our order being taken and the food was served. From where I was sitting the food was piling up in the pickup windows. Runners had to wait while one woman made sure everything was perfect before being allowed to deliver food. The other thing was there was only one guy bussing tables and he bused one table went back into the kitchen came back out and bussed the next back into the kitchen and back again. At one point the hostess helped him and pushed two tables together for a party of 9 along the bench wall leaving one way for all four to get in and out. Two four tops and a two top table 3 tables total) What i really enjoyed was the food. It looked delicious and was. The biscuits are huge, tall and dense with great flavor. The crispy chicken Cobb salad was huge, the chicken Cesar melt looked great and the red mashed potatoes was good. The cinnamon rolls French toast was wonderful and sweet and just perfect. My sister liked the coffee and mentioned it.
I am beyond thrilled to finally have a Black Bear Diner so close to home! It has quickly become our go-to spot for a solid meal. The first thing you need to know: come hungry. The portions here are absolutely massive. Whether you’re ordering the Bigfoot Chicken Fried Steak or a stack of pancakes, you definitely get your money’s worth and usually enough leftovers for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is always friendly, and the convenience of having such high-quality comfort food right around the corner is a game changer. If you want a meal that actually fills you up in a great mountain-cabin setting, this is the place! First time I visited was when I was stationed in San Diego CA I was thrilled when we got one!!
