We visited Monday 8/19/24. The staff was friendly but the wait time was beyond unreasonable. We were seated immediately but it was at least a half hour before anyone came to our table. One party left before a member of the staff took their orders. We were on the verge of leaving but the waiter finally took our order. Our drinks took forever to arrive and our food was also slow, incorrect and one of our party waited about five additional minutes for their food to arrive. Being polite, we waited until all of the food arrived and our food was no longer hot. It was between six and seven pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was relatively clean except the women's handicap stall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were very disappointed. We know the kids working the place aren't responsible for staffing it but someone needed to have adequate staff to serve six or seven tables. read more

We were promptly seated and was told Megan would be our waitress. She came over sat down and took our order. My husband ordered Denver omelet with sourdough toast, I ordered a western burger. She left and came back with the toast and pointed to the corner of our long booth and said, there's the butter. She started to walk away, then turned and asked if we wanted her to reach for the butter, I said yes. we buttered the toast while it was hot. Then sat and waited. The omelet sat on the ledge for a while, then the burger finally was out on the ledge. When we finally got our meal, toast was cold, omelet warm and hamburger warm. I was not impressed. When she brought my husband another drink, she made a comment about how much catsup he was using, and when I was done she brought the check and made a comment about me finishing my burger, said boy you must have been hungry. I ordered the burger with coleslaw, now I'm feeling like she was judging me! I've never written a bad review until today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While waiting for our food, a young girl from the kitchen was by the beverages, she put her middle finger up to one of the waitresses, and held it up all the way back to the kitchen. Not a good look for this restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They have hair bacon. Which I felt was not cool, not even a little bit. They also have hair fruit and hair eggs, so if you're into that sort of thing you might like this place but I didn't. read more

Oh! My! Gosh!! I LOVE this place!! And particularly our waiter, Andy!! Andy took care of our entire school faculty (over 40 people), single handed. He was so "on" with everyone's order and fun to banter with. He took such good care of us, that I came back today and asked to sit on his station. He's amazing. Go!! Ask for Andy. You won't be sorry!! read more

Visited this diner in Utah and it was awesome, as usual. We've frequented the restaurants in SoCal, but Kaleb (our server) was attentive, quick, and friendly. We all enjoyed our brunch and look forward to visiting again soon. read more

Food tastes great and the staff are very clean and friendly, will visit a million more times!

They only had a select number of options because they couldn't decide on what to do for the menu which was only like 10 options. It's very confusing and they don't even have half of the items that they say are available on the menu. Their options also don't offer as much food as they usually do. Overall this experience is a 1 star for not having enough food options. Also this is all happening Christmas morning. Real bummer. read more

great service and the food was good but when is the waffle machine going to get fixed?!?!

Their service is great and maybe their other food is but DO NOT order their taco salad! The refried beans taste like dirt and the 'salsa' is glorified tomato sauce - yuck! no sign of cilantro, cumin or chili powder read more

This was my first time coming to this Black Bear diner in Washington Utah. We were able to get right in and the waitress helped us find a table. We got our newspaper menus and had our food out very quick! Service: 5 Food : 5 Fun local flair 5 I will be back!! Thanks for a yummy meal read more

SECOND REVIEW! Decided to give this place another chance (6th!) greasy, bad service, bland... their kitchen is FILTHY. So are their bathrooms. Oh, and they have little to no gluten free options. read more

Family-friendly comfort food. A very wide selection on the menu. Nicely decorated as well. A favorite of our family.

A great breakfast place and I love their waffles! They were super understaffed but Andy did a great job handling all of the tables! Emily the manager was also helping out as much as she could! Thank you for all your hard work! On another note there was a group of other staff who did nothing to help out their own team. Coffees and drinks were unfilled. People attempted to flag the other staff just standing without any due regard given. Additionally, being on your phone while people are attempting to get assistance. There is a distinct difference between team and lazy coworkers who should really evaluate how they contribute. Times are tough for many and people pay good money to come to places such as this. Again, as mentioned above we are very appreciative of the two previously mentioned workers. read more

Black bear is pretty consistent with service and food. You won't find it with the local 'town flair' of an independent greasy spoon but an upgrade to the national chains like Denny's, IHOP, etc. good food at a fair price and good ambiance. Think 'cracker barrel' with a bit more home town feel. read more

The chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were very good. The vegetables were tasteless and over cooked. The service was very good and friendly. read more

everything was really good but at the end when paying the old lady who checked us out gave me an attitude and nasty looks this really ruined the end of our experience read more

Always find something in my food at any black bear that shouldn't be there. The service here in Washington was great however, seat a very large group quickly and keeping orders organized! read more

Average food as this is a chain restaurant you can expect the same wherever you go. The staff is fantastic and the area clean.

The food is good, and they give big portions. My husband loves their breakfast. He said that the portions are big. read more

Food was okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant just felt dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We did have a very attentive waitor which always helps the experience!! read more

Avoid this place for dinner. I would give them no stars if that was a choice, Went there last night for dinner for the first time and had a horrible experience. First, they were out of shrimp and said it was being removed from the menu. Strange since there are more than 8 items on the menu that include shrimp. Second, they were out of the daily soup. Strange since the waitress told me this was their daily soup choice. Third, all 4 of our meals were horrible. Two of us had the ribs which were smothered in BBQ sauce and nothing but pure grizzle. The burger and sandwich were both extremely forgettable. When the waitress asked how our meals were, we were honest with her. When she brought the bill to us, they had given us $10 off a $100 bill. I found this less than satisfactory for a horrible dinner experience for 4 people. If that wasn't enough, at check out we ordered the mini banana cream pie. Upon getting home and digging into the whip cream filled "pie", we determined it wasn't a banana pie at all. It was some gooey banana and graham cracker crumb mess hidden with a ton of whip cream on top. Disgusting! Avoid this place at all cost for dinner. read more

Brooklyn should get at least a 5 star rating for her helpful service and great attitude. We had a lovely meal and enjoyed our experience at Black Bear Diner in Washington, Utah. Forever repeat customersthanks Brooklyn read more

The best thing about Black Bear Diner is that their portion sizes are insane! They'll feed you enough for 3 days. This place can be a really great choice when you need to carbo load or just satisfy some serious hunger. Honestly it's pretty great. That being said, this was not a good visit for me. I got The Grizz and the bacon, freshly squeezed orange juice, and hash browns were phenomenal. Unfortunately, everything else was really bad. The eggs were cold, overcooked, and had the texture of dry chicken that was left sitting for a bit. The pancakes were like grain-flavored cardboard. No amount of syrup could save me from that taste. It was pretty unfortunate. The ham and sausage were decent but nothing to write about. Our server was awesome. Really personable and helpful. They also have so many tables inside so don't be turned away if it looks really busy. The food is usually better than what I experienced this time around but overall it's not the best tasting breakfast out there. read more

Black Bear Diner Washington - The Grizz (1480 cals.) - Diners Near Me - Washington, Utah

Very good breakfast menu but the dinner menu is not so great. I had a big salad for dinner last week and I didn't like it so much but I did go back repeatedly for breakfast while in St. George. read more

For me this place is more of a novelty. The food isn't bad - it's heavy. Our waitress was stellar and the place was nice and clean. The menus were paper and tattered - a little icky for me since I have no idea who's hands were on them before mine. No gluten free options - had basic fried eggs, grits and hash browns. There isn't anything unique or special in my mind about this place except maybe the giant biscuits. They looked delicious. Lots of parking and easy to find. read more

Food was good and huge but the carpet is disgusting. Trash on the floor etc. if you can't keep the front of the house clean no telling what the back of the house read more

Came to Black Bear Diner for breakfast during our trip to Utah. We have one back home and Texas but I had never gone to one. The portions are HUGE!!! The flavor is bold! And the variety is well rounded. My group of 4 all ordered 4 different meals and shared because it was all so good. Make sure you go hungry because the portions are enough for 2. We had plenty of left overs for later. I loved everything and it made for an awesome breakfast that filed us through our upcoming hikes. read more

We stopped in here for a late breakfast while in the St. George area. It was a Monday and around 11.30 am, and the place was very busy. It took a while for the server to get to us, but we ordered, and the food came out relatively quickly. I ordered the 8oz smoked brisket with 2 poached eggs. This also came with cheesy grits, a massive side of hashed browns and a pancake larger than my face. They serve warm maple syrup and that was really good. The portion sizes here are definitely on the bigger side, so make sure to be hungry or to take some home with you. My friend ordered three pancakes and that was too much to finish, and his wife ordered the club sandwich and that was also really big. Food was really tasty too, and so if we're back in this area this will be our top pick for breakfast. Parking is very convenient. read more

We stayed at southern Utah Rv resort 3 night ate at black bear 3 times every thing we had was very good fast service nice waiter and waitress my favorite was chicken fried steak it's not chicken guys and gravy generous amounts of food read more

Brooklyn should get at least a 5 star rating for her helpful service and good attitude. She was very helpful, going above and beyond to make us welcome. We ordered the taco salads which were so delicious. we look forward to our next visit to the Washington Black Bear diner for diner read more

My husband and I came here because when I was a kid my grandma would take us out to breakfast at a location in AZ. We were very happy! Our food was delicious and our service was very friendly and accommodating! We have been back twice already. We love Black Bear Diner. read more

Great breakfast! Was very busy but quick service! Great food and a decent price! Love going there

The breakfasts have always been very good. If you want good service sit anywhere they seat you. If you want great service ask for Andy's section. He's very attentive and keeps the coffee coming, unfortunately the others, not so much. read more

I usually love this place, but waitress ruined it for us, (you know who you are, remember us, the 3 women with the 17 month old baby, we won't forget you). Great job on making your customers feel comfortable! On April 22, 2021 about 9 am our waitress looked like she was either being trained or was trying to set an example and was training the person shadowing her. She asked for my order and I told her I needed to order off the menu and I wanted fried potatoes and to add any vegetables that the cook could to those potatoes. She just stared at me, and after 15 seconds of telling her what I wanted on the potatoes I realized she wasn't writing anything down and was staring at me with disgust on her face! I stopped talking and she says to me, "I don't have any idea what your talking about. I'm so confused to what your telling me". Not only was my family and I embarrassed and stunned by her over zealous reaction of disgust, but her co worker wanted to hide under a table by the look on her face. My daughter had to tell the waitress that we all have food allergies and can't order right off the menu. The waitress went on about how confused she was and that NOW she gets it, never once apologizing for her horrible reaction, or that she made such a big deal about it and that EVERY table near us stopped conversing and was listening to this waitress rant on us. My family wanted to get up and walk out, but all the customers near us were watching how all this was going to turn out and we were embarrassed by her behavior and couldn't move after being verbally attacked. I believe this waitress is incapable of working with customers, some people aren't cut out for customer service and she's definitely one of them. After this incident happened, she was standing at the counter and blatantly talking about the bad reviews she was getting online and was laughing about it to her co workers...well I certainly agree with those other reviewers! read more

The service was great. My order was wrong and I was disappointed for the first time. Normally my order is spot on.

I'm handicapped difficulty walking. I'm the FIRST person in the doors 7 o clock and I'm made to walk to the Back of the restaurant!!! Unbelievable!!!!! Past 16 closer available tables! my server was nice! She even tried to make excuses for her coworker Keep in mind me and 1 other customer only in restaurant the entire time I'm there Food-okay read more

Here's the deal. Staff was wonderful. Ashley served us and she was new but spectacular. She was sweet, easy to communicate with and on top of everything. However, this is a restaurant so the review has to include the food. The burger was dry, the bacon was too crunchy to the point where I couldn't chew through it and the fries where mushy. Just okay food honestly. But if you are craving breakfast foods that's a good place to go when your options are more limited. read more

Looking for comfort food? This is the place! Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The restaurant feels like you are in a big log cabin...so fun! The food was exactly what we were looking for after a fun day on the snowmobiles! read more

So hot in this diner!! I would rather eat in a sauna with how sweltering it was, made the food very un-enjoyable do to this, had to take it to go and finish eating in the my car with the A/C on. Our waitress looked very uncomfortable yet demonstrated virtuous professionalism, I can not for the life of me remember her name. Not sure if the patrons are trying to save money but no customer nor employee should be put to work in these conditions. read more
