Black Bear Tavern and Restaurant

Definitely fantastic dessert! Iced tea was weak. Steaks were cooked ok. Sweet potato casserole was excellent. Bread was good. Service was friendly. Hostess sat us in the middle of the room, so not my favorite- I would have liked a window seat. But a decent steakhouse

Black Bear was a very good restaurant. It was empty when we got there, because it was 3:00 on a Monday. The waitress was wonderful. My grilled Reuben and my husband's mushroom burger were very tasty. It was worth the stop.

Our 1st time there. 10 of us in our group and it took us 2 hrs from sit down to leaving. We all had burgers, which were very good. Bonus 1/2 price on Thursdays. 1 order of ribs and shrimp. Definitely not quick with service especially being there b4 the "crowds" showed up, were there b4 5pm. Side tip... if you have issues with smokers/smoking may want to avoid this place. They allow smoking on the outside dinning area but it definitely blows in the windows/doorway when they are open, which while we were there was the whole time.

The food was great, but the service was absolutely OUTSTANDING! Our server was prompt and guided us to dishes on the menu that worked for us, even going as far as telling us that we probably WOULDN’T like an item based on our questions.

She then went out of her way to recommend a restaurant that is local to where we live since she used to live in the area.

And when I didn’t think it could get better, she took my daughter’s meal off the ticket because it was t properly prepared - and we were clear that it was unnecessary!

What became obvious to us is that this restaurant is well-run. The owners clearly encourage their employees to listen to their customers and help them - not just sell them a meal and move on to the next customer.

And on top of that - they actually empower their employees to do right by their customers.

And did I mention the food was great? I thought so! We will definitely be back and I encourage you to patronize them as well.

Stopped by for an afternoon drink. The Tesla charger caught my attention. A few friends and I enjoyed the pit stop and friendly staff. Would recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.
