Ermagurd! I dont know how this little gem has stayed hidden. Quite and yummy. Super affordable, the taco salad in this Pic was like 12 bucks and massive, wife couldn’t eat half. Its definitely enough for 2 people. With all the chip and Jo tourists traps in waco this is a pleasant experience. My chicken fried steak was better then the new heitmillers though nothing will ever compare to the original. Steak was edge to edge, no big pocket of air in excessive crust. They offer waffles and sweet cream pancake among many other yummy items. And personal 6inch pies, at 7.00ea what a steal. If you are craving that really good strong diner coffee, they got it, and they offered one to go as well. We love this place. I coin this place the love child of cracker barrel and a wafflehouse…

This was our first time trying here. The cashier Nicole and hostess were very nice. Our server Alexis was awesome and made sure we were very well taken care of. I got the mini Volcano and my partner got the meat lovers omelette. He said it was good, the sausage was very tasty! Gave 4 stars because my pancakes were very moist and good. We got the biscuits and gravy too because I like to judge based off the classic..they were okay. They were huge, but really dry and the gravy was just gravy. Nothing too crazy but a better okay breakfast place. 5 stars for all service though!

This was my first time dining at Black Bear Diner in Waco and I plan to go back. I went with a simple BLT and hash browns. They’ve got a large menu. I sat at the diner bar since it was just myself. My server greeted me promptly upon sitting. It was cool to see the cooks in action behind the counter. I’ll order pancakes next time and orange juice. Their orange juice is squeezed in house.

The atmosphere/motif is cute. Our server was pretty good.
Food was just OK. Blackened salmon was good, but it’s hard to ruin salmon. Meatloaf was not what we expected. The consistency was that of some sort of pre-prepared/pre packaged faux meat stuff. The flavor was not distasteful, but it didn’t taste like meatloaf…kind of a weird, bland Salisbury steak taste like in a frozen dinner…the gravy seemed canned and the grilled onions seemed to have come out if a box…
The stems of all of our broccoli was black…like it had been stood up in the pan to cook and allowed to burn, but upon further examination it was freezer burn or mold or something else…
We both got baked potatoes and the actual potato was OK, though its thin skin was more reminiscent of a boiled or microwaved potato than a baked one. The potatoes were wrapped in foil but that seemed to be for looks only…the crispy, thick skin on great oven baked potatoes was not there. There was a dollop of sour cream but hardly any cheese or bacon…a but disappointing.
The prices are good, but we were in the mood for some good, hearty comfort food and this place barely hit the mark. It wasn’t very busy on a Friday evening which might have been a sign…

We went there for the first time this evening. Everything was amazing. I ordered my sandwich without onions, it came to the table with onions. My husband asked for another sandwich would be made, fully planning on paying for both sandwiches (he was going to eat the other sandwich for lunch). They remade the sandwich, and was so apologetic. They gave us a while new sandwich. Everything was absolutely terrific. We will definitely return. All of the staff was very friendly.

Everything about this place is wonderful. The dining room is decked out with wood carvings of bears and fun and interesting folk at on the walls. The food is exceptional and the serving sizes are large. If you like biscuits this is the place for you, but be aware that they are massive(about the size of a large man’s fist). I absolutely love this place for a pleasant meal with terrific service at a great price for the quality and quantity of the food that you get. I have eaten at multiple locations and I have never had a bad meal or dining experience.

I got the brisket hash with eggs, home style potatoes. The brisket was a bit dry, but if you mixed it with the other items, it was good. The breakfast potatoes are excellent. The others in my party really enjoyed their food, especially the kids that got pancakes. Those all disappeared. There are plenty of menu items to satisfy any want or craving. The menus are cool, they come like a newspaper. I look forward to going back and trying something new. The eggs Benedict looked amazing, may have to give that a taste, and with those potatoes, of course.

Well, it’s a cute diner, can’t argue there. Our server was dynamic. She kept our beverages topped, made sure that our food was hot and made sure that we didn’t need anything.
Kinda had a Denny’s smell, couldn’t it my finger on the why for that. We’d go again but just feel the food is average l. I do want to see the service and cute atmosphere are awesome!

Exciting to have a Pacific Northwest-themed diner here in Central Texas! I appreciate the subtle woodsy black bear decor. The food is pretty tasty with heaping portions! Been here for dinner and breakfast now. Pot roast was great! Breakfast is good too, though the eggs ordered over easy came out on the done end of medium-well. Will have to give them another chance at that another time. The menu is massive, so I still have a lot more to try too.

Cody was a great server! Under immense pressure on a Sunday rush he was able to show kindness and continue to check in on us. A great employee always knows when to ask for help and I overheard him ask another server to help with take one of his tables order- politely- and she responded no pretty harshly before she walked off. As someone who works in food service as well I understand how fast a great day can turn into a hard one. Even after that encounter he still tried his best with a half smile. I hope management gives him the recognition he deserves. Great job Cody! Way to not let others change your mood even when it’s difficult.
Aside from Cody the atmosphere is always welcoming and all the servers I’ve encountered give their all. Great staff , & great food selections.
