    We loved this throwback restaurant. The prices were good and so was the food. My hamburger was huge but it was really good and I finished it all. The kids had chicken strips and French fries and loved them. We got a hot fudge sundae for the girls and I had to taste it of course. It was crazy good. The girls ate the entire thing. There was tons of memorabilia all over the walls with statues of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe inside. The service was great. We spilled some lemonade and the waitress was so nice in helping to clean it up. It's a very fun restaurant.

    Stopped in due to the name and photo's found online. The atmosphere did not disappoint! The place is very nostalgic to wander through and look at! But, don't go for the food. We had the Saturday all you can eat fried catfish. Worst catfish I've ever had, and I've had a lot. I don't think they know what seasonings are. We sprinkled on lots of salt and pepper to try and get something to taste edible because we were both starving. The pinto beans tasted like ranch style beans. The coleslaw was just off. I only had one bite and it tasted like it was going bad. The tastiest thing was the hush puppies, which I assume were frozen. Definitely stop in for the cool decor, but just have some ice cream and go somewhere else to eat.

    Retro fun atmosphere

    Food was absolutely amazing! Ambiance is fun oldies retro and they nailed it. Service they are so nice smiling and want to be here. No bad attitudes here 10/10 would recommend

    First things first, DELICIOUS AS HELL! Second, the service was great, we went here for my little brothers birthday and had a blast when the original Scooby doo intro played! There's all you can sing 50's music that fits the vibe in every way, not to mention miss Monroe with the classic fan pose in the middle of the diner. Prices are quite decent too. Recommend if you want to go somewhere for a themed part, girls night out, bachelor/bachelorette part, or even just to have fun with the family! The workers are even in theme with the restaurant, it's awesome. It's super colorful inside like one of those I-spy books you'd read at recess in fourth grade.

    My monkey was attending church camp so we drove 2 hours to drop him off. On the way there, I saw this place and the old time memorabilia caught my eye. A few days later we picked him up and he was out of the movie Nel he was speechless, burnt, and full of bug bites but THAT appetite was still there. We stopped at the restaurant and sure enough this 80s kid went Back to The Future. The servers were dressed in 50s motif and very friendly. You are totally consumed by the posters, black and white TV's, life size statues of Marlyn & Elvis. Monkey aka Nel ordered chicken strips, Mother of mokey Raspberry chicken our little rhino had kids portion chicken strips and my big belly saw the all you can eat catfish so as Betty Boop said boobo bidup CATFISH it is for me. Our server was nice and efficient with providing us with information from the menu. The portions size are awesome and worth the price. The chicken strips were huge not your regular processed size with easy breading. The Raspberry chicken was delicious according to monkeys mom. The catfish had no flavor but with pickled jalapeños and tartar sauce it made it tasty. It was all you could eat and bringing the portions took time (insert the look Lurch gives in the Adams Family) We had room for something sweet so we shared a warm apple pie and brownie Sunday which were scrumptious. The apple pie is made in-house in a warm skillet. We drove back 2 hours satisfied and Nel fell asleep in the car on the way home. If you are in the area and you are looking for good eats and nostalgia in mind Yesterday is for you. The cost $64.74 plus tip

    Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and fried okra

    The whole restaurant had really cool decor. I was in town for a birthday trip. We actually ate there twice. Their Brownie Sundae was pretty amazing too! We were there. The customer service was beyond excellent everyone was so friendly. I will definitely return if I ever visit that town again!

    Blue Ribbon Apple Pie

    Truly authentic 50's American diner from the decor to the food! Fantastic food! The Tuesday special was"Mom's meatloaf" and it was as good, even better than my Mom's meatloaf! And all the fixins too. The best part was their special apple pie with brandy butter sauce. WOW! And we don't really like apple pie! The root beer float was just like I remember them. The service was very friendly and personable. We told them it was our first visit and everyone was actually excited to introduce us to the best items on the menu. I will return as often as possible to try everything!

We got a new waiter who was being trained. Yea us! A trainee. But in reality, both the trainee and trainer did a great job We got our order taken and the food was delivered. Both in a reasonable amount of time. The food has been and was delicious. I have always said the pancakes are amazing. But what else would you expect when you make pancakes with heavy sweet cream? Sure it's a bit expensive, but good quality food isn't cheap My only complaint? The music. Started with heavy metal as we went in, smooth jazz as we ate and some non descript jazz as we left. All this with a motif of rustic log cabin from the great far north. If you have ever been to a Black Bear diner you know. Bears and heavy timber everywhere. The music just did not fit Overall, I enjoy blackbear, and always look forward to their pancake pancakes. I am not sure what kind of music would fit the motif they have but I know that heavy metal and smooth jazz, isn't it.

I'm leaving this review because our waitress, Maria, was fantastic. She took excellent care of our family, was attentive, and handled any issues with the meal without hesitation. She was detail-oriented and made sure everything was taken care of. If you visit Black Bear Diner and happen to get her as your server, you'll be in good hands.

    I had driven by this place several times before I finally stopped for dinner with my family. I wish…read moreI had done so sooner! The food is simple, but almost flawlessly executed. The menu leans heavily toward comfort food classics like meatloaf, lasagna, and shepherds pie, but lighter options like a chicken ceasar salad were also available. The desserts were definitely the highlight of our meal. Like the other menu items, the dessert portions are HUGE. My daughter and I split a piece of coconut cream pie, and we still didn't finish it. An amazing view, rustic atmosphere, and wonderful service rounded out the experience. If you're passing through the area, don't miss this place! I can't figure out why it wasn't packed to the gills.

We got the meatloaf, king ranch chicken, two teas and one desert and it cost us $54. And for that price we got served on flimsy paper plates with plastic forks. The food was less than average. We didn't finish our food and declined a to go plate. The cheddar biscuits had no flavor and were not warm. For desert ,we got the apple "crisp" which was not crisp at all. It was very mushy. Thank goodness we got ice cream with it. I am posting a picture of the Apple crisp. There is certainly a lot going on there. We stopped on The Junk Store (as they call it) and the sign was correct. We were not impressed and will not be back. To answer your response, the words "delicious" and "great" never left our lips. And no motive other than to provide an accurate review of your restaurant and food.

Me and my boyfriend both ordered that so it should've came to about 20-23$. Tell me why even though I asked her MULTIPLE times if it was part of the special, because 1) she said "it comes with two sides" 2) asked if I wanted on or two scoops of ice cream and 3) I told her the food item was too big to be the special and she COMFIRMED it was, I was charged FOURTY NINE DOLLARS?!?! Are you kidding me? She charged us for the regular meal which is 15.99 a piece plus our drinks plus desserts. And when I asked the manager for a refund she said the best she can do is 10% off because we already ate it. YEAH I ATE THE FOOD I ASKED FOR! THE SPECIAL! YOUR WAITRESS CONFIRMED IT WAS THE SPECIAL I ORDERED FROM THE LITTLE MENU! Why should I be charged for HER mistake? You obviously don't care about your regular customers if you're only gonna offer 10% off a 49$ meal that should've been 25$. Some of us are on a budget and have Little money to go out to eat with and you guys charge us like this? VERY disappointed will not be back for a while which sucks because I usually like this place. Just know if y'all go here you have to either speak very slowly for a couple of them to understand you want the special or put the small menu in their face to show them because even if you have your menu closed and you're point at the small menu some of them will still act like they didn't see, and they to blame you so they don't get in trouble.
