One of the best pancakes I’ve had! Nothing fancy , just simple fluffy pancakes with fresh strawberries ! Friendly staff . Great coffee with endless refills. Huge portions ! I love the black bear theme too

Michael Valverde

Great food large portions and fresh meat . The problem is that they always forget something. Every time I have been there I have asked for something always twice and sometimes 3 times

Anthony Youhas

Joe's Hobo Omelette is a favorite with my crew, but the chicken-fried steak also ranks highly. And the homemade biscuits are LOL WOW terrifyingly huge. I've never successfully tackled one.

Lisa Pallares Monreal

Order ribs or cfsteak. Be prepared to wait for a while. Lunchtime service has gone down. Excellent food makes up for it. Be a hungry bear.

Diego

If you go for breakfast and they have the prime rib special, skip it and roll with the classic steak and eggs . Bigger cut and prepared better.

Judy M

Prepare for good ole American diner food, with respectably large servings! Biggest biscuits I've ever seen.

Took the California Bacon Eggs Benedict and was not disappointed. Also, the line went much faster than expected.

Shadow Wolf

Great food, great service, but their air conditioning is broken in the dining area. Avoid this place during the heat of the day!

Look at their kitchen service counter. You'll usually find food sitting there for 5 minutes.

Paul Galimba IV

Food was mediocre. Pancakes were blah. My fiancé had the waffles and they were soggy, we sent it back and she got slightly soggy waffles . How do you screw up waffles ? Not coming back.

Lauren Mello

Try everything! Great food!!!

Ramzez

Very disappointing. Hash brown is not hash town and not tasty at all. egg Benedictus tasteless. Fruit was so so. omelet is ok but too much onions .

Kirsten Thulborn
