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
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
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.
Amazing breakfast home fries to die for and don't forget the pancakes delicious love this place
Our server, DD, was so attentive and on point! Biscuits here are amazing.
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.
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.
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.
Great food, great service, but their air conditioning is broken in the dining area. Avoid this place during the heat of the day!
Short wait but the pancakes are delicious, the waffles are great!
Chicken Fried Steak , Onion Rings , Chocolate Shakes , great friendly service
Awesome pancakes . Love their breakfast menu
Frank is amazing. Sit at one of his tables, and you won't be disappointed.
Corn bread muffins warmed up are utterly amazing!
I always go for the corned beef hash
Food takes a little one but is well work the wait! If you're already hungry hurry in!
The waffle is really yummy 😋
Make sure you actually GET a tea bag and honey when you order a hot tea .
Huge portions .. Bear claw is actually the size of a bear paw, an adult bear paw.

Great food, found a moldy tomato in my salad on my third visit. But will def still come back.
I love Black Bear . servings and service is 1000% better than Denny's
Portions are big enough to share, if u want. (see the biscuit in the pic? It's huge!)
It's only 11 AM and it's busy.
Chicken Apple sausage
Look at their kitchen service counter. You'll usually find food sitting there for 5 minutes.
Western BBQ burger hits the meaty delicious burger spot
If you like corned beef , go for the corned beef hash with hash browns
We love this place! Everything here is great!
Actually soft drinks and iced tea are 22 oz. with free refills .
Get the chocolate milkshake ... Or forever regret it.. ONS

Fresh bear served daily (nov. 1st-may 1st)
House Made Meatloaf
prime rib special @$13.99 full course is a bargain.
Best biscuits
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.
Try everything! Great food!!!
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 .
Get the fresh squeezed orange juice
