We absolutely loved our meal! Everything arrived piping hot, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent—our waiter was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

The first time I came here I loved it the service & the food so I decided to go back. My second visit wasn’t that bad the food was good but the service was an 5/10. My third visit was the worst the servers ignored us never took our order I had about 3 serves come & ask what were our drinks after already telling someone else. The restaurant is clean & the food is good just the service for some of the employees needs to get better.

Walking in I was greeted by Vanessa who made my day with her smile and enthusiasm, as I was seated and served by Jeremy all i could think was how amazing the service was and the interior being so on theme and trendy. I got the Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger and it was so delicious and cooked perfectly. I enjoyed every bite, with just eating a lunch meal to a diner that specializes in breakfast I can't image how much more impressive and tasty their other items are. Amazing to eat with family or by yourself. They also have a giftshop with some baked goods and merchandise, y'all should go check it out after eating.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. After a short wait, our party of 6 was seated in a booth but was given the option of a round table. Everyone placed their order and waited a reasonable amount of time for fresh food. Everything looked good; one order was incorrect, but was made right with no issues. All plates were delicious and satisfying. On the way out, I spotted something interesting looking & asked the guest-- it was a cornbread muffin. Now we have to go back!

Food was Good It was very good. It was delicious and i have had my fair share of eateries From USA North, South , West and East and a lil more north than that and a lil more south than that just take a look at my profile. Ok the food was delicious the Service was ok maybe he was about to end shift but that's no excuse he missed out on his tip. The Atmosphere was great. Bear when we got there and Bear when we left I gave it 5 Stars despite the service but i have to be honest. Keep up the good work.

Great food and great service. We arrived during the rush hour but the waitor was thoughtful and brought us a corn bread for our wait.

This was my first visit to a Black Bear and I loved it! The service was incredible, the portions are so big (I wish I had others to help me eat all that food!), and the food was yum! The menu is insane and of course, I had to read it all. Then you can read their story and their “newspaper”. It was a cool vibe! I really enjoyed myself and even went back for breakfast the next day! Excited to eat here again when I’m back in the area!

Everything was right in my order. I had the Joes hobo omelette with red potatoes and a pancake. The taste was very good. The pancake was yummy and fluffy and the syrup was very delicious. Also my cofee was great, its flavor is a bit strong (compared to other places) just the way I like it. I recommend this place.
