Our menu offers comfort food classics, and our entire menu is offered all day long. Whether you are craving pancakes at 8 pm or pot roast at 8 am – we’ve got something for everyone.

This was my first time going to a Black Bear Restaurant. My Family and I enjoyed our food. They give large portions.

Carolyn’s service was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She is genuinely one of the sweetest people we’ve ever met, and she made my entire family feel so welcomed and cared for. She was always attentive, checking in at the right moments and making sure we had everything we needed without ever being overwhelming. You can truly tell she cares about the people she’s serving, not just doing her job. Her kindness, patience, and warm energy made the whole experience so much better for us. We really appreciated how well she treated my family it meant a lot and did not go unnoticed.

Maybe we came on a day when their supplies/ingredients were en route to their store. We tried to place our orders based on what they advertised but were told by our server that the items were not available like I wanted a mojito but they don’t have champagne and other food ingredients. 3 or 4 of our orders were not available. Other than that, everything went fine.

I am a vegetarian and asked our server Natalie if they had other options than the garden burger for vegetarians. I asked if they could do the taco salad her response was ‘ I don’t see why not ‘ . My taco salad was fantastic. The presentation was unbelievable. It looked as though it should be on the cover of a gourmet magazine! In a world with such negatives it was nice to see the welcoming smiling face of Natalie’s .Eddy the cook did a wonderful job with our meal .

Fantastic place to enjoy breakfast and lunch! We were greeted by our friendly waitresses, Raj, when we walked in. She accommodated our group of 6 and provided exceptional customer service! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with suggestions. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great. They even have a little area by the register with gifts and souvenirs. Highly recommend this place!

Ordered online chicken fried steak dinner asked for gravy for my fries and fries extra crispy, plus there was no gravy on the chicken fried steak whatsoever. I asked the server about the gravy and the extra salad dressing and he assured me it was all there. I also ordered berry cobbler ala mode and they forgot the the ice cream which I was charged extra for. I’m so disappointed in the lack of attention they pay to the online orders. Total fail on this one

We ordered the Friday Fish Fry. In past visits, the hush puppies were made in house and delicious. Now they are purchased already made. The fish is different as well. Definitely not as good anymore. If we go back, we will order something different. Service was excellent.

One BIG BIG downside:
They will not allow you to order off of a kid’s menu if you’ve had gastric sleeve or bypass surgery. So don’t bother asking. They’ll tell you to order off of the regular menu and just order less. They would rather LOSE money than accommodate you. Even though there slogan is, “Spend your hard earned dollars with us. We appreciate you.”
Thankfully our waitress had more sense than her management. She was an absolute sweetheart. And we wish her luck in her studies.
The rest:
The food is plentiful. The flavor of the burger that I ate was a bit lacking. However, I have come for breakfast as well and their gravy is really good.
I would recommend the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy.
The atmosphere was open and not cluttered. But, it was also a bit messy for a non rush hour.
Their menus are clevery disguised as newspapers with some pretty cool facts. However, the paper I got today was worn and tearing. It felt like 6 people read the paper before me. Definitely needed to wash my hands before I ate after that one.
The service was friendly and punctual.
