The atmosphere of Black Bear Diner reminds me of Colorado, warm and welcoming. The food tasted delicious, like a good homemade meal from grandma. The service was a little slow. Expect to wait on weekend mornings both before and after you get seated. Overall, our group enjoyed our meal. We will go back! read more

Eat here!! Great service, great food, great prices! Quick & easy service every time. I love the waffle and for a limited time you can add Nutella. The portions are hefty & will NEVER leave you hungry. If you have room for desert- I bet my bottom dollar the chocolate cream pie will be the best you've had. read more

Went in to pickup a couple of Almond Bear Claws to share with my family. They haven't tried Black Bear yet. Get home cut one open it's Black Berry. I thot ok he gave me one of each. Cut the other one it's the same. I'll be taking them back in this morning May have an update on this. read more

Staff was very nice, though I immediately got the impression they weren't at all ready for online orders or pick-up orders in general. They were already confused as to whether one bag was ours or not. We got home and the food was varied in quality, some being burnt, others being undercooked, and one meal being a completely different meal altogether. The building itself was nice and clean, plenty of people eating there too. My advice here would be to eat at the restaurant instead of doing pick-up. read more

Food was great. Our server was wonderful. We went early in the morning so we got there in time before it got busy. Place was nice very bear wooden lodge theme but it was very cute and clean. read more

I had joes omelette. Was really good . The biscuits are massive. Service was really wonderful. Friendly and helpful. We went on a stormy morning so no wait. Otherwise there is usually a wait. Fun decor . read more

Not a good night at this restaurant tonight. The wait staff was inattentive. The "all you can eat fish dinner" was a disappointment. The fish tasted like it was frozen, microwaved, and old. Probably won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Our first visit was for breakfast. We also had an order to be placed to-go. Order was taken after 25 minutes and we were told very rudely that our togo order will be taken near the end of our meal. Our breakfast took 45 minutes to be served, and our over easy eggs were barely cooked. I placed my togo order (a sandwich and potatoes) that took25 more minutes, and no spoon/fork were provided for the potatoes. Because of the slow service our meal was comped, but that did not make up for our experience! First impressions can make or break a diner. read more

Everything goes well here, from the delicious food to the attentive server. This is our "go to" place for comfort food at reasonable prices.

Well, sadly, I am not impressed. The service is very slow. The ambiance is good with comfortable seating, nice decor and clean tables. There is an extensive selection of food on the menu with some great sounding dishes. Prices are very high for diner food. Coffee is bland, avocado toast is minimal, bacon and sausage is minimal. If you really want to fill up choose the pancakes or biscuit dishes. You must ask for condiments or they are not provided. Over easy eggs are served broken. I believe the quality and service is just not there. Nice environment but needs help in areas of most importance. read more

Only been for breakfast a couple of times the sweet cream pancakes are the best but both types of hashbrowns come out super oily/greasy. The house made sausage does taste good but also super greasy. Over easy eggs always cooked perfect & the kids grilled cheese always good. read more

Biggest taco salad I ever saw and I loved the chicken fried steak. Waitress staff were so nice and the service was spot on.

I ordered breakfast from the "little less" menu and it was still too much for me to eat. Bacon was awesome. The one biscuit was huge! Service was good too! read more

Black Bear Diner Burleson - 1 biscuit with gravy and 2 bacon from the little less breakfast menu - Diners Near Me - Burleson, Texas

Loved this place! Great servers who are friendly and helpful. It feels like a elevated Cracker Barrel. It's a good restaurant to meet up with family and friends. Good food but I will say the breakfast items taste amazing! read more

The food was good I had the pot roast baked potato and green beans. And they are not shy with giving you plenty to eat. The salad was fresh an cold an my drink was always full. The service was good also an the waitress very well informed . I had so much to eat I didn't even have dessert. And the desserts looked delicious. I will have to go back an just get dessert next time. Thanks for all the great service and food. read more

Very good food. Ham was thick and tasty, biscuit was high and with gravy was delicious.

Food was. Great, very large Servings. Great friendly service. You can even buy a cute black bear for yourself. read more

Can't really complain about the service but can the food quality. We had the shrimp & chips and fish & chips with sides of hush puppies (6 each at $1 each) which were closer to good solid musket balls. They could have been used for bear hunting as hard as they were. Cole slaw had little to no sauce and was just chopped cabbage and carrots. My fish was pretty fresh as it felt like it had just come out of the fridge (as it was cool to Luke warm) and the shrimp was overcooked. Definitely not a $50+ dinner but since that's what I paid I guess it was. Unfortunately tonight was not what we've come to expect from the Black Bear Diner and hopefully this was just an off night for them. read more

Fantastic service and food. Especially considering they just opened. We had breakfast for dinner. Pancakes and waffles are amazing.

I ordered via DoorDash to try this place. I've got friends in Dallas who love this chain so thought I would try it. 100% disappointed. I'm born and raised in Texas so I know what good chicken fried steak is, and what we got wasn't it. It's clearly precooked frozen food thrown into a kitchen fryer. It was completely tasteless and the "cream" gravy, was also clearly from a mix and watery. The biscuits that came with, while quite large, were dry and tasteless, as were the hash browns which weren't actually cooked at the way through. I can go several other places for sun-pat cafeteria food for less money.....or down the road a little for what I know will be a great meal. read more

Expected much better from all the hype prior to opening. We had breakfast, so it was eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc... First off, what are those hash browns and country potatoes they serve? Do they not believe in seasoning either one? We did have the chicken fried steak with ours. If you are a fan of CFS from let's say, Grandys, then you will love it. If you prefer a nice tenderized steak that is breaded in the restaurant and then cooked, you should stay away from theirs. Definitely shipped to them frozen and already breaded. I would not go there again. read more

Not a good experience. We will have to try it out again once they get their staffing sorted or a good system going. My husband sat for 10 minutes with no waitress and then 5 minutes later when I joined in they got our drink order. It took 50 minutes to receive our food. Everyone around us was very visibly and verbally upset about the amount of time it took for drinks and food. The waitresses didn't greet or introduce themselves either it was just a "what would you like to drink". The table next to us even walked out after no one taking their order after 20 minutes of receiving drinks. read more

First time going here. We ordered the prime rib and New York steak. Both were pretty good. Prime rib could've used some juice on the side but still not bad. Mashed potatoes were real potatoes so that was nice. Broccoli was cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed our salads and the blue cheese dressing. It's really hard for us to like a blue cheese dressing at a restaurant so this was great! Service was ok. Not bad but not above average either. Inside the restaurant it looked like something you'd see up in the mountains somewhere. read more

We absolutely love Black Bear Diner and have been coming once a week since it opened in Burleson. Unfortunately, the last three times we have come in, it has been midweek for dinner and the service has been nonexistent. We get a table and then wait 10 minutes or more for anyone to acknowledge our existence. Once we get a server they are very nice. It feels like the management is only present on the weekends and during the week, the young staff want to hangout in the drink station and pretend there are no customers. I hope this can get resolved because we love the food and atmosphere. Come on BB. read more

We have only gotten food to go and so far it's been delicious. The to go service has been good. They definitely have a lot of food to choose from. read more

Lazy, uncaring wait staff had us sitting there for over an hour until we got our food. Had to ask for help from a different waiter because mine was just too lazy. Never refilled our drinks, didn't give us utensils, until we had to ask for it which is so basic to do as a waiter. This place has a lot of work to do to improve on their service. I won't be going back. I should've gone to longhorn steakhouse next door. read more

Went with family on a Friday. They offer an all you can eat prime rib or fried fish and chips after 4:00pm. We arrived a little after 5:00pm. We were told it would be another hour for the prime rib so we all ordered the fish and chips. The fish was raw. The nice young waiter offered to bring out more fish. He did, it was raw. The manager offered to comp half the check when none of us were able to eat what we ordered. We walked out knowing we would never be back. A shame for the food quality to be so nasty and what they offer is not available. read more

Sunday brunch wait was 25 min no big deal. Sat down and ordered our food and then waited for almost a hour to get half of our food. Never got any drink refills. Never saw a waitress again until the food was brought out. Then the tab was brought and never saw her again. Judging by the other reviews this seems to be normal for this place. Won't be going back. read more

Everything is wonderful. You can order anything at anytime. And you can share a meal. The staff is fantastic.

This place is absolutely amazing. No matter what you order on the menu, it comes out and looks and tastes delicious!!! The biscuits and gravy are a meal in themselves. But comes as a side to an amazing entree. Breakfast, lunch or dinner they got it covered and it's all great food!!!! read more

Black Bear is my favorite restaurant, but Tuesday, May 14, 2024 was the worst meals we had. They must have had a new chef. My daughter ordered the Chichen 'N Waffle. The 3 chicken strips were so hard & over cooked, they were inedible. She had to order another meal. I ordered the Taco Salad, which I get quite often. The crispy tostada bowl was overcooked. The ground beef was overcooked. There were no refried beans, no salsa & no cheese. The service was OK. They must have had a new chef. read more

Very cute place. But....Horrible!!! Won't be going back. We went at lunch in a Saturday. They got us right in. It took forever for us to get anyone over to get us drinks. And no it wasn't busy. So then our actual server comes to take our food order. My husband gets the CFS, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. I got eggs, sausage and biscuit. First off my husband said his CFS came from Grandy's. Tasted the exact same. And the rest of his food had no taste. Now my food was horrible. The eggs were rubber and I don't know who eats Italian sausage for breakfast but Texans do NOT. Awful!!! I got one sweet cream pancake in the side and I will say that was the best thing on the table out of it all. Will never return. read more

I got the fish and chips for dinner and not impressed the fish lacked flavor and the fries were ok, Cole slaw had about as much flavor as cardboard. We also got the apple cobbler with ice cream and the cobbler was not heated throughout the dessert and the ice cream was not even melting. For the price of dinner there are much better places to eat in Burleson. read more

Service was excellent, food was just average. Prices were way too high. Biscuits gravy, hash browns, 2 strips bacon, coffee almost $20 . Maybe the high prices are due to the lettuce leaf and orange slice garnish. Go to Waffle House, food is better for about half price. read more

Good food. More than one can eat. Took home doggie bag. Warmed up nicely. Huge biscuits. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. Was glad they did not have taxidermy all over their walls. read more

I think we went at a bad time and the server was overwhelmed.. we mainly came for the pancakes but were told they were out of there pancakes only to be told by the manager there were pancakes. The food at this location I must admit was not the best, and I appreciate the manager trying her best to accommodate us! read more

Service is great! I was expecting a bit more as this place was hyped up but I was disappointed! The hash browns and eggs had no seasoning. I might return to try their lunch/dinner menu however Ol South is better for breakfast... read more

I really wanted to like this place. Lots of "hype" leading up to their opening late last year. It's the middle of March. They should have it right by now. 50 minute wait on a Sunday morning. But that wasn't the issue. We'd heard that the wait was long. Ordered Corned Beef Hash with eggs over-easy and a pancake. My wife ordered the Sausage Scramble with sausage patties. Took about 25 minutes to get our food. They were out of sausage patties. Don't be out of sausage patties. She substituted links. No pancake yet. Corned beef was dry and room temp. So were the hash browns. Eggs were way overcooked. Server brought me two more eggs that were even more overcooked. She blamed it on a new kitchen staff. Still no pancake. Wife's biscuit was very good. Everything they topped it with was not good at all. Eggs tasted like they came from a carton. Sausage link was flavorless. The gravy tasted like Sysco packaged, mix-with-water-and-serve gravy. The pancake finally came out, and it was fantastic! But one good pancake and one good biscuit doesn't make up for terrible everything else. The iced coffees were good...not great. Service was good...not great. For $43.00 and the amount of hype, don't bother. read more

Our server had to go ask to get common questions answered. The table felt like it had a slight greasy feel. From a business that was started in the NW I'd expect more farm to table and real maple syrup. read more
