The portions are huuuuuge!! I had the chicken fried steak and it was pretty salty, but the mashed potatoes that came with it were A+!

Rod Shields

Breakfast is the best. This place has Claim Jumper size plates. Good luck finishing your plate in one sitting.

One of the few chain diners I still frequent when on a road trip

Larry Algood Jr

The food is good, It's comfort food burgers , steaks , breakfast and shakes .

Joey Pontanilla

Lumberjack appetite required here. Even the starter salads are huge-mongous. Chicken-fried steak was just ok. The breading was no bueno but the gravy was peppery & creamy. Get the smaller portion.

Really wanted to like this place but I was really underwhelmed. We came for an early dinner with the kids and grandparents. Service was just ok, made me feel like they aren't in it for repeat bizness.

Terrible! This bbd is awful!! I found plastic in my coffee ! Management wanted me to still pay for it! Corporate black bear diner needs to fix this location!

Jon Swift

Skip it. Service was mediocre at best. Both the soup and entree had a bitter burnt taste. Large menu. Empty restaurant and the service was slooow!!

Sonny Garcia

Service is spotty. I guess they are still working the kinks.

Marta Tappero

Big plates , bad food. Not even such good service . Not even that cheap . Not worth the trip.

Andrew D

Nope. Just go to Denny's

Jon Swift

Unhappy with the food. Soup and entree with bitter burnt taste. Couldn't see anything in either. Slow service.

Joyce Woolhether

This place is just ok. Lots of GMO processed food. Chx fried steak breakfast is what they consider their best? Its a frozen flat round processed meat w a little "gravy " and is pretty tasteless.

André Junges

Atendimento péssimo.
