This restaurant was phenomenal. I got the Shasta burger, the burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were crisp and the service was great. I like to try new spots and I was recommended this restaurant from a friend. I decided to give it a try and everything was great From our server, to the management. Without a doubt I would come here again. Great atmosphere, comfortable and deserving of a visit.

It’s the Sunday before Christmas, and I wanted to spoil myself before a busy work day. I woke up early to avoid what will be an inevitable morning rush at Black Bear Diner. I was warmly greeted at 6 am in the morning. My waitress who had the most amazing & calming morning voice approached. Her name was Alyssa. She is phenomenal at her job. You can tell she has been in the people business. I ordered the Grizz (which has a plethora) of options. Also a water with lemon, A large fresh pressed OJ, and a bottomless coffee. They also offer a military discount which I appreciated being a veteran. All in all she made this experience of me and I left completely satisfied. I hope this review finds her well, and that she gets the accolades she deserves. Well Done Alyssa!

The portions are huge and the food was good. But I got there early the sun was not up. I guess at that time they run with one server or someone didn’t show up, either way, it negatively effected my first time visit. I had to wait to order, because after the menu was delivered, the crowds showed up. Not really, maybe 4 or 5 tables, more than the server could handle I waited too long for everything: to order, for the food, for my coffee, for my check, for my payment, for the to go containers. I’m sympathetic to understaffing, but it does not make the truth of the visit better. It sucked. Would not recommend. Won’t return. Great food is easy. The experience means everything.

Sunday after church around 1:00pm was pretty packed. It was my boyfriend and I. the wait was 25 minutes, but we got in after 15.
PROS: ✅
ATMOSPHERE -is a fun Colorado cabin style, it was clean and taken care of and a nice smell. Our table and seat were clean as well as the others around us and also workers cleaning.
STAFF-The first hostess was a young girl with red hair and she was kind, our waitress Jolene, it was very sweet and apologetic because our service did take a while and talk to the manager and got five dollars taken off our tickets because of our wait time without us even having to ask. She did a well job on updating us. There is also a tall African-American guy with chains and an arm, tattoos, and he was nice as well. ✅
FOOD- The mashed potatoes and gravy were good as well as the bacon (taste wise) and the turkey club sandwich.
CONS: ❌
STAFF- it took us about 45 minutes to receive our food we had the Grizz and the turkey club. I understand that it was busy but for the size portions, I feel like it could have been done quicker. There was a couple times we could hear the staff yelling at each other through the window.
FOOD-for the Grizz, we were pretty disappointed in the size because the menu makes it sound like it is a very large meal as well stating the bacon is a thick cut. as a ham steak, which we believe that it must’ve been cut into thirds because it was not even the size of half a ham steak. The bacon was skinny, and the pancakes tasted like they were made out of a box and were very light in color. We got a fresh fruit side, which was only melon and TWO grapes. We were at least expecting a variety of melon like maybe some cantaloupe or something or some strawberries or anything than just honeydew.
The turkey club was quite delicious. It was eaten on sourdough bread and the mashed potatoes and gravy were honestly really good so there wasn’t really an issue with that order.
This being said there was a piece of lettuce on the Grizz plate that had like four different types of crumbs on it as well as a piece of cheese that was not even in the food that we were getting so it seems like maybe it was on the counter or something, but it was pretty un appetizing and seemed a little worrisome as well as a red Substance on the pancake plate when there was nothing else red on the food that we were eating, which makes me feel like the plates were dirty.

WE WILL TRY AGAIN!!!
we’d like to try again since we really like the atmosphere and the food wasn’t horrible, but maybe at a different time during the day or a different location.

We stopped in at Black Bear Diner and it was an amazing experience! We ordered The Grizz and two Sausage Biscuit plates with extra bacon. Let me just say—I’ve never had better sausage and biscuits in my life! The biscuits were fluffy, the sausage was seasoned perfectly, and that bacon… absolutely to die for!
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. On top of the incredible food, the decor is so fun and welcoming—it really adds to the whole experience. Highly recommend!

The restaurant was clean, charming and it has a multigenerational feel to it. This restaurant has exceptional branding. We were immediately seated and our waitress promptly came over to greet us. Our waitress (Shannon) was fantastic! She was welcoming and accommodating. DH ordered cinnamon roll French toast with house made Italian patty sausages (hot) and scrambled eggs. He said all his food was really good. He enjoyed the sausage and it had just the right amount of kick to it. I ordered over hard eggs, house made Italian patty sausages (mild) and sweet cream waffles. My food was very tasty. We also both ordered coffee which we enjoyed. We plan to bring our family next time!!

I found this place to be a really enjoyable experience. The entire atmosphere was all about bears. You walk through the gift shop at the beginning, so the atmosphere is unapologetically, “bear” . It was awesome.
Chairs, tables, decor, support beams: “bear” .
Our menu were newspapers with, you guessed it, “bear”.
Our server did a good job with attending our needs, the atmosphere was the best part, and the food was actually really good. I ordered the omelet with a biscuit and fruit. The biscuit was SO much bigger than I thought and it was fluffy!
The kitchen was like an old time diner. (Unlike IHOP), you can see the kitchen window and it was more of an open concept where you could sit at the “bar”.
My mother’s response was, “It was efficient. It was clean. Everyone was nice.” I agree.
A food company is really only three things, “Food, Service, and, Niche/decor/hook.”
I think the Black Bear Diner has all three. I would love to see the young staff more on their toes knowing that the guests coming in pay their checks. But I was satisfied with how everything was being ran and the attitudes of those there.
Worth trying out at least once.

Stopped in for a late breakfast today. It was out first time and we absolutely loved it! The steak was seasoned well, waffle was perfect and the biscuits were a mile high. Taylor, our server, made sure we were taken care off. She dropped by frequently, made suggestions and expressed so much concern for us. The GM even stopped by to make sure all was well. We’ll definitely come back!
