    Little less meatloaf dinner ( BUT PLENTY OF FOOD)
    Gene W.

    While the food tasted OK, you go to Black Bear diners for the portion sizes and the country-sweet service, amply supplied on our visit. Hard to mess up a breakfast. While good in every respect, the prices are creeping up to almost unaffordable ($15 for simple breakfast). The little less meatloaf dinner was only $13 and was plenty filling, especially with the side order of onion rings. Average comfort food, but served with a smile.

    Country fried steak and eggs with red potatoes
    Adam H.

    Food was not good, got the $20 country fried steak combo with my eggs over medium, white toast and red potatoes Eggs were super runny, toast was hard and burnt with barely any butter and potatoes were inedible-- very rubbery in texture. Country friend steak was the only saving grace and that wasn't enough to leave me satisfied with the experience. Waitress was polite but inattentive, came to the table once about 3 minutes after the food was served and then disappeared until she came to drop the check off. When she did, she said nothing, just placed it on the table and walked away wordlessly. This was my second time at a Black Bear Diner and might be my last, I really enjoyed the first experience I had at a different location so I was looking forward to this one and drove 45 minutes from La Center to get here. Very disappointing experience, would not recommend this location.

    Everything was wonderful! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and we'll definitely be back again.

    Black Bear is a great restaurant for groups because the menu will have something for everyone! My family and I shared items so that we could sample a lot. Everything was delicious and a large enough portion to share!

    Hot coffee

    We had breakfast here. Our wait staff was the best. Kristy popped in and filled our coffee and made sure we had everything we needed. Black Bear also a ponderes breakfast for all of us during teacher apreciarían week. Thanks We will be back

    Volcano
    Matthew W.

    The Volcano was amazing. It came with sausage, thick bacon, eggs, and sweet cream pancakes. Also had a side of grits. After that I got a berry cobbler which was kind of disappointing. The crust wasn't really crispy and some of the fruit wasn't really hot inside some of it was still cold. The service was great. The place gave an outdoorsy feel to the restaurant with a lot of bears and bear puns which I really love.

    Strawberry Sweet Cream Pancakes are the best!!!
    Leana V.

    We come here weekly for our "day off lunch". Kamile was our server a few times, she always remembers us and is so kind. It feels like family when we're here and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. The food is always on point and if anything ever falls through, the staff here is ready to jump and make it better. My coffee lives here

    Taco Salad
    Elisha J.

    So this was a great place for what they do. Lots of open space, no squished together tables. People were very friendly and service was quick. Their menus are in newspapers which is fun, and there is cute bear decor. I ordered the taco salad, which was enormous in size, fresh veg, lots of cheese, and the crispy tortilla shell was fried perfectly. My only gripe was I needed more salsa, lots and lots, the size of the salad needs more than a tiny ramekin. This isn't special food, it is classic diner food done exceptionally well, and simply. No fancy spices, no extra flavors, but for this type of cuisine it was stellar.

Aside from being a doofus and not noticing the 15 feet of menu on the wall opposite the counter, the place was warm and friendly and had the smell of a place I'd like to eat, (a little warm bread, a touch of cinnamon, and a hint of bacon.) I ordered the Hope's Mess with eggs over easy, a biscuit, and sausage patty and the youngster ordered the Huevos Rancheros. I was told that Hope was now living my wife's ideal life while her partner lived mine. Hope rolled in later and the partner was there first thing so she was not there. We got drinks as well and waited a perfectly reasonable time for our food. Rich, creamy country gravy, perfectly cooked eggs, good coffee. My companion enjoyed his food also, but since it's not my spouse, I didn't feel comfortable stealing a bite to report directly. Always a pleasure to stop in, bring a sticky bun home, and visit with nice people in the community.

They also have a full bar available, if you so desire. I am a regular at this restaurant, but today I ordered off the Specials board and got delectable Oreo Stuffed French toast. It was beautiful, to begin with, but the taste and textures were divine. The toast was crispy, but the filling was very flavorful, and the topping of whipped cream with Oreo crumbs made the whole meal delightful. I ended up taking the bacon and eggs home, since the French Toast was more than enough. Our server was friendly and thorough, despite it being busy.

There was some black duct tape holding parts of the booth together, and since the booths aren't anchored to the floor, ours would shift whenever the people behind us moved, which was a little distracting. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out. The scrambled eggs tasted watered down and lacked flavor. The pancakes themselves were good, but they came with quite a bit more butter than necessary. We also ordered the chicken fried steak, which was tasty, though the potatoes that came with it tasted like they may have been from the day before. I might consider coming back to sit at the bar for cocktails or happy hour, but for a full meal I'm not sure I'd rush back. That said, it could have just been an off day -- there was actually a wait for tables as we were leaving, so clearly the place has a following.
