    Food was great and the biscuits and cornbread were delicious! The day we went we were told they were understaffed and things may take awhile so, food came out later and it was okay. A nice place to have family breakfast/brunch!

    Eggs, bacon, Sausage, and hash browns.

    This place has such a cool Bear Country vibe! The food was fantastic. The service was very nice. I recommend everything but the peppermint cocoa is a must try. Prices are reasonable.

    These are the open tables that they refuse to allow us to sit as a group.

    Arrived with a party of 17 to celebrate a birthday party. Told wait time was 45 minutes. At the 1.5 hour mark we literally had to request to be seated. There were several open spot available. And rather seat us in a group, the seated us all in separate tables. Now keep in mind there were a set of tables in a group that would accomadate us, but we were not given that option. The management staff were very unaccomadating.

    We are very familiar with Black Bear, as we have family in California and BB is abundant there. I was excited to see that they opened one here! We had an overall very good experience. The decor is everything we love about Black Bear. Our server was Leo, he was very kind & attentive. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes & green beans. Everything was very good. My son ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast and his was also very good. I did take a star off because the potatoes were not hot & the coffee was just mildly warm....cold after the first sip. I usually love the coffee at Black Bear, so that was a letdown. We will return when we are in town, next time for breakfast. I'm hoping the California Egg Benedict is as good here as in CA.

    Came here recently for a staff members birthday lunch. As other reviewers will warn you, wait times…read morehere can be long. We had a large group and there was a long wait to get a table, to get our drink order, and then finally our food order. The restaurant is similar to Applebees or Chili's - just an average "fern bar" type restaurant. There weren't many veggie options on the menu. Lots of chicken, and of course, true to the restaurant name, lots of cheese. They brought us some incredible croissants in a thick honey butter sauce. The chips and salsa appetizer comes with salsa on the side and a meaty queso. I tried the broccoli and cheese side - the portion is tiny! This is a true side and not a good substitute for a meal. Super affordable though! They really outdid themselves on the birthday cake! Rich, chocolatey, with a fudge syrup - it was delicious. And kudos to the servers for being good sports and leading the birthday song. They were great about out large party splitting the check and the electronic pay device they brought to the table made it easy.

If you…read morethink you are going to a Michelin restaurant, you should know better just by looking at the prices and menu options, but if you do; you are surely going to be severely disappointed. Cheddars is a good value, big portions restaurant. Typically they are consistent and do provide a good product for a great value. Most meals are less than $20 which should be your first clue. My wife and I have eaten at Cheddars since the early 2000s and while the food quality is not what it was before they were purchased by Darden, think Olive Garden; the food is a good value.

They were way too soggy before I even finished the first half of the first taco. I ended up stealing one of his flour tortillas to be able to eat the second taco. Which made the whole thing no longer a crispy experience. I don't know if P got flour tortillas last time and that was the difference. Or if it was just a particularly different type of serving. It was delicious anyway. I also enjoyed the rice. And he REALLY enjoyed the frijoles. Not sure I've mentioned that before.

Right away, you see a sign at the host table recommending to pay in cash; there is a $3 added fee for credit. No problemo. It has been open under Papin's for a year. Complimentary basket of chips/salsa. We began with Appetizer Trio (fresh guac, mild chile con queso blanco, shredded chicken quesadilla x4); all 3 were great tasting and we demolished it. For entrees, we ordered the Trio Combo (tamale, chicken enchilada, crispy/soft ground beef taco) rice & charro beans; 6-count Nachos Texanos appetizer (beef fajita) - these reminded me of how ceviche is served because there was fajita aplenty on top n barely notice the cheese on the individual tiny Tostadas but tender YUM; Enchiladas Texanas plate (cheese); and, 2 Tostadas plate (1 beef/1 chicken). We cleaned our plates. I was impressed the most with my Tostadas... The ground beef was THE BEST! I LOVE A MESSY TOSTADA just like a greasy burger topped off with Mexican crema & queso fresco! The Spanish rice had good flavor and the refried beans too. Service was friendly. There's only one waitress for about 3-4 tables at the time but she was sweet and we were patient. The food came out hot and fresh. The prices are very fair for the portions served. I think this is a GEM of a place and I can't wait to try ALL DAY BREAKFAST and their Huevos Rancheros. There's room for big parties to seat 20 as well and also a few booths for just 2. My only complaint is how warm it was in the restaurant.

I go there right at 12:00 and avoided the rush that came in right as I walked out, lol. The owner himself waited on me and helped me with my order. The place is so clean and clearly a great place to hang out if you aren't just wanting to eat. One side is a small bar area - but not too small - complete with a jukebox! TV screens are placed in good spots. The owner chatted about their history and I was interested in the history of Mesquite. A lady brought out my meal and took the time to smile at me, such a change from places that are in such a rush. My son loves it and now I'm a fan. You must check out this local-owned charming place!

I went there for my birthday specifically to take on the "Toddzilla Challenge"--only to find out after finishing it that the challenge no longer exists. A total of four of us ordered it, and at no point did the cashier or waitress inform us that the challenge was discontinued. The Toddzilla is still on the menu, and there's even a wall dedicated to past winners, making it seem like the challenge was still active. So, we did what any competitive eater would do--we finished every last bite, expecting to earn our place on the wall and a commemorative t-shirt. Instead, we were met with a shrug and told, "Oh yeah, that challenge isn't a thing anymore." Talk about false advertising! The biggest issue? We specifically ordered four massive $22 burgers designed not to be finished, under the assumption we were taking on a legit challenge. If the staff had simply told us beforehand, we might have reconsidered. But nope--we were left in the dark. As for the food? It was... meh. The Toddzilla is just three beef patties with three slices of cheese--no sauce, no toppings, nothing. Just dry meat and bread. Fortunately, we asked for mayo, which helped a little, but without ketchup, mustard, pickles, or onions, it was a struggle to get through. Honestly, I think this place only gets good ratings because it's a bar. And let's be real--when alcohol is involved, food tends to get rated better than it actually is. If you're looking for a good burger, there are far better spots out there. Huge disappointment. *Poor *Decent *Ok *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Prices. Ok Food. Good Service.

I went for the Peachy Keen ($11.50), very good! I ordered a dinner salad, but when the server (Diana) asked if I wanted chicken on it, I agreed and for some reason it became a $19 salad. I was disappointed that it was 3 times the salad I wanted but it was very good. Fresh ingredients made it worth taking 3/4 of it home. I ordered the range rattlers ($16) as an app, even though I wasn't very hungry. They were hot and spicy and crunchy, with a nice piece of shrimp inside. so good! Two of the 4 went home, also. Diana was attentive, got everything right, brought my water with lemon right away, both of my peachys were delivered promptly and she kept our table clean. She even boxed up our meals and in the beginning remembered to ask if I was a rewards member, which no one does!! Two stars for that! Good service means a lot to me and I would recommend her to anyone. Actually, all the staff seemed to take their job seriously, they were all hustling. The managers were running as fast as the staff!
