Black Bear Diner

It was pretty good.
I would recommend the changing the menu from newspaper to something else.
I understand that you're trying to keep the old school vibe. But for newcomers it was kinda confusing. Spent 20 minutes sitting there waiting for menu and not realizing the newspaper was the menu

My husband and I love going here once in awhile. It's a little far of a drive for us so it's a nice treat! Their plates of food are HUGE and actually very reasonably priced considering the fact.

I always get the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Combo which is a Cinnamon Roll cut into three thick pieces covered in icing, fresh fruit, eggs, hash browns, and bacon or sausage and it costs about $17 I believe. Just the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and fresh fruit is about $12 and that is filling! Their bisquits are made fresh and are literally almost 6 inches tall! They have fresh squeezed orange juice and multiple mini homemade pies.

The only downfall I would say is that on the weekends it is so popular that there is a bit of a wait. The longest we've waited is about 20-25 minutes. Of course it depends on how many people you have with you, not sure if more or less is better. Not sure if you can make reservations or not since we've never tried. Either way...completely WORTH THE WAIT!!!

The wait area stinks, but you shouldn't be waiting long. The place was packed on our visit and we were only like ten minutes (told 15 to 20). Our server was with us moments after we were seated and seemed polite and pleasant (not bothered by the rush at all). All parties seemed happy with their food, but they did land it at two separate times. It's a little odd when half your party had their food and half is waiting. Unless you don't care about eating in front of people waiting. Once everyone was served, we all were pretty satisfied. Our server did check on us more than once, filling drinks/waters and making sure we were taken care of. Restroom was pretty typical, but when there's paper, towels, soap, hot water and their attempting to keep it clean I'm apt to be happy.

I came with my fiance and was seated quickly, we were there for breakfast. The place had a lot of people in it yet we didn't feel crowded. It took a few minutes for our server to come but that's fine for me. Our food was good, they serve really big portions which is excellent! The hash browns were a bit bland but that's ok, specially for people who don't want a sodium overload like myself. I simply added salt and pepper and I was satisfied. My omelette (the all meat one) was tasty and cooked great. My fiance had a scramble and she was in love with it, couldn't finish but made for a nice meal later. If I were to give one flaw, it would be that the servers should come back more often for coffee/drink refills. Overall I enjoyed my experience and will return.
