Black Bear Diner

This is not the typical breakfast place I would go but they always seem to have a decent crowd so I figured my gf, son, and I would check it out. First off service was great. The host was friendly and cheerful. We were greeted and started quickly. The place wasn't packed but it was probably 3/4 full. Our server heated is quickly as well and again she was super friendly and attentive. I was very impressed with the speed and attention of the service. We had coffee and water and neither was ever empty. I ordered the chicken sausage scramble, my gf got the pancakes and eggs, and my son had French toast and diced potatoes. The food was very poorly seasoned. The French toast was bland with little to no flavor other than egg and bread, the potatoes were not seasoned, my egg scramble had no salt or pepper, and my gfs eggs were the same. It didn't taste bad and honestly the quality seemed ok, just very very bland. I feel like for the price, which for us 3 was $52 plus tip, I'd rather spend a little more and go to First Watch or Hash Kitchen.

Even though this is a chain restaurant in multiple States, I very much enjoy it because it is a full-on diner atmosphere. It's not exactly cheap but the amount of food that they give you definitely reflects the price that they charge. If you're not hungry I wouldn't recommend going here because you will be fed until your stuffed. I've been here for breakfast more than anything else but I have tried a few of their lunch menu items and I've not been dissatisfied with anything. Except for the apple cobbler. I was not impressed by their apple cobbler at all. Even though I'm not a huge sugar fan this was definitely lacking in sugar and the puff pastry on top just was not adequate. But other than that I have liked all of their food and I would definitely recommend people go here if you enjoy a good diner.

This was my first time dining here. I just relocated to the area from Wisconsin and saw this eye-catching place driving by and had to stop. It was beautiful inside. The atmosphere is so chill and relaxing. The music 🎶 is soothing as well. The waitres, Erica was kind, knowledgeable, and answered my questions promptly without having to seek it out. And our meal was the meat loaf, mash potatoes with broccoli and brown gravy. I had to leave a nice tip. I will be back to try the pot roast. 😋

Wife's children strips seemed salty. My chicken fried steak was great. They were stingy with the mashed potatoes and gravy. Service: between the two waiters they were more interested in sitting and talking young girls. And putting music on the jukebox that was not appropriate for comfortable restaurant eating.
