What is really cool is up by the front they have some old wagon wheels that have been turned into tables. There are plenty of food items as well as pastries so no shortage on things to eat here. They also have a good variety of coffees from drip to pour over espresso. You name it. I got a blueberry muffin and a vanilla latte. The blueberry muffin is full of blueberries, super moist and delicious. The vanilla latte is spot on perfectly made. If you're in the area, I highly recommend coming over here.

As an avid Yelper, I looked it up and wasn't too impressed with the photos, but I decided to trust a local's choice. We took the 10-minute walk from our Airbnb, and when we arrived, I was shocked to see how big the restaurant was. It was bustling on a Saturday morning, but we were seated quickly. Immediately, I noticed a warm and friendly family-focused atmosphere. Our waitress was kind and quick. She brought us the menus, got our drink order, and gave us time to look through everything. Since this was our first time in Wisconsin, we got an order of cheese curds and a breakfast skillet each. We easily could've shared one breakfast skillet, but they were both so delicious, and I'm glad we got our own. The cheese curds were phenomenal, even though we ordered them as an appetizer. They came out at the same time our meals did. I enjoyed our time at Black Bear and I'm even considering going back again as I write this review. A great spot for newbies in town and definitely worth checking out.

However this time I was a bit surprised (and shocked) to find that I was charged for additional salad dressings to go with my salad. The salad was large I was given ONE small cup of dressing that barely did the job. I showed the waitress that the dressing just covered the large chunks of sliced meats and once they were consumed, the lettuce and remaining salad was bare. She brought me additional. I brought one of the small cups home with me and measured the contents and it was less than 1/6 of a cup. My surprise came when I got the bill and saw that they had charged me .79 for the additional small cups of dressing. I mentioned it to the host and he said, food is expensive. YES it is but so was my salad - $16.50 or so. My one ice-filled glass of cherry coke was $3.49.

Whenever we visit relatives in Appleton, we love to visit Galvan's. Prices are still reasonable for a good amount of food. Go hungry. Coffee is pretty good too. I ordered the low carb skillet without cheese, and it came with cheese, so I had to wait, but they fixed it up pretty quick. Wait staff was efficient, but could be a little more cheerful.

I've eaten at this location in the past (a long time ago when the Hotel was called the Paper Valley) and it was pretty good. Not even close now! The only thing average on the buffet was the scrambled eggs and the fruit. The rest was god awful. Led by the driest, most tasteless sausage links I've ever had (and I'm including that crap that you get free in hotels). Bacon could have been good, but it was pretty underdone. And the coffee was barely warm. If your are staying here, I'd recommend walking down College Ave and finding one of the many other options available for breakfast or lunch. Wish we did!
