Their mission was simple: create a fun and friendly atmosphere where the local community could enjoy huge portions of home-style cooking at a reasonable price. Today, we continue their mission at every Black Bear Diner across the country, as we passionately provide guests an outstanding experience. 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. Enjoy your meal in our family-friendly, cabin-themed diner with our welcoming staff or order to enjoy in the comfort of your home.
Easygoing chain serving familiar all-day comfort food & desserts in a woodsy setting.

What a horrible experience. Visiting family on Idaho. We decided to go to breakfast at this location. We waited 10 minutes to be seated. This was not unacceptable. But finally seated. It took longer to get drinks ordered. We had asked for more coffee. Only to have our waitress bring the coffee pot to the next table. And not refill ours? We went and grabbed a pot of coffee. And poured our own coffee Then finally ordered food. After 45 minutes Only to be told. The kitchen lost our ticket. And it would be another 30 minutes. The manager would not move our ticket to the front of line in kitchen. Our ticket was going to back of line. What a great example of poor management. And poor customer service. This restaurant is a disaster. Never again!

One of a kind experience. Amazing food, the service was top tier and the atmosphere was warm, inviting and although themed, not over the top. Will go again, and definitely recommend!!

Been a place for us to go every Christmas morning. Around 8am, the place was reasonably empty and the wait staff was friendly and in great spirits. Food was prompt and delicious as always. They likely have a condensed menu for the holidays but has all the good choices. Interior decor is fun and would entertain kids, just in case you have to wait for your table.

We had such a phenomenal experience! Even though they were short on many dinner options they were upfront and apologetic. Luckily my kiddo wanted breakfast for dinner and we all joined him so it wasn’t a problem. The waitress was so sweet with my boys and was very attentive to our table. The whole team was speedy, efficient, and lovely. Next time we drive through Boise, we will be sure to stop in here.

We can start with the wait at the front everyone that came in had to wait at leats 10 mins unless you were a regular of course. Then the very confused staff walked us around the restaurant until we got back to the front cause she didn’t know what table the waitress was serving. When she asked the waitress what tables she was serving the waitress said she doesn’t know later on they went to multiple tables asking if anyone wants extra mashed potatoes we were the 4th table she asked and we gladly said yes. Our 10 month old loves potatoes I’m assuming they made these just for him due to the lack of seasoning. After 40 mins we finally get our food witch my order was wrong but at this point we were just ready to leave. The strange smell of the restaurant the frustration of untrained staff and a burger that might of been hard rubber, hard to tell with how dry and chewy it was, wife had to get fry sauce just to be able to eat half of it. Also not a family friendly restaurant if you have young ones that want to touch stuff the little bear statue on our booth had larges chips in it creating very sharp edges couldn’t even hold my child in fear of him getting cut from it.

Went here with a group after a meeting while in town in Boise. The food was just what you’d expect from being at other Black Bear Diners. Very generous portions at a very reasonable price. The manager was very attentive. She told us she had just taken over at this location. She was very pleasant and enthusiastic. I can see why she was chosen for the position.

A wonderful place to get some of the “home cooked country style feel” food that is always a feel good! The ambiance is great and very rustic and gives you the feel of being up in the hills right down in the valley. The last time we went unfortunately was when only one waitress was working (late staff?) So it was slow to get a seat and between orders and you could tell the mood was low. But its understandable! She did great taking care of the whole place! Albeit slow she did her job and kept up! So 5 stars to her for doing double work!

We have gone to Black Bear Diner for several years, and it’s been a great experience each time up until this last year. Something has changed at this location, and the service has gone from 5 stars to 0. I’m not sure if it’s new management or if everyone who cared about the business just up and left.

First time there, we had dinner. It was good, not 5 star great but good. It reminds me of good comfort food. Definitely will be back. The manager was great, she was helpful, made us feel, welcome, explained items etc. Dani I think was her name.
