Black Bear Diner

This was my first time here. I got the fried chicken dinner. It came with a side salad and cornbread. I liked the salad and the cornbread was the bomb! I didn’t care for the chicken, there was no meat on it mostly just bone. The mashed potatoes were too sweet like too much milk was added. The veggies were good. I will probably visit this place again but I’ll order the taco salad next time because I was debating between the two.

Really disappointed with this place. The server was extremely nice! The food was a total let down. I ordered a house salad with a tuna melt and the “salad” was so underwhelming. It was lettuce with two cucumbers. The tuna melt itself wasn’t that great to me, it had huge pickle and cucumber chunks inside. However, the fries were delicious! The western style burger was just a mess in my opinion, and hard to eat. The decorations are adorable though! Another complaint I had was the kitchen staff. The restaurant was kind of empty when we got here so we could hear everything in the back. We heard complaining from an employee, laughing about order choices, and just rude interactions with each other. It just seemed a mess back there. I normally don’t care about kitchen staff because it’s none of my concern but these instances were so loud you couldn’t ignore it.

I was upset with OK due to all of the construction going on when I was passing through but this restaurant made me forget all about that! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating and the food is out of this world. Huge portions, cheap prices, and that pot roast really warmed my heart. The minestrone soup was amazing and the banana cream pie was good. I’d recommend sharing a dish and dessert with someone because it was way too much food for just me (not complaining!) I would come back to OKC just to visit this diner again!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I came into black bear today from out of town and they were amazing!! It was extremely busy but they got to us quickly and everyone seemed to be working together great. Our server was amazing. We even had a manager come and check tables too! Would definitely recommend!! We will be back!!

This was a HUGE surprise. A delicious, savory, and healthy meal. Black Bear Diner offers an amazing value for the cost. I left full, with leftovers and a dessert. Our server, Lauren, was attentive and gentle in her delivery. I was delighted by their cornbread! It was more like sweet cake! Oh! Prepare yourself if you try a dessert - I think they are really meant to share. The bread pudding is a 4.5" block of deliciousness paired with a pecan sauce. The blackberry cobbler is really a small deep dish pie! Make no mistake, if you leave here hungry, it's YOUR fault.

Happy New Years: Good people :) I Ordered the New York Steak & Eggs.. it comes with cheesy bacon grits.. eggs..
