Great diner food, pretty consistent as a chain, happened to hit it during a quiet weekday evening which was nice. Music was a bit too loud.

A few weeks ago i had the best service. Food was typical diner food but black bear is always comfortable to sit in for a bit ..and my waitress was so awesome.Today I had mediocre service and really great food and very fast ..I was getting my car repaired and walked over. sometimes when you eat alone it's hit or miss.. Alot of waitstaff hates single seating diners as it's a waste of tipping time and you can tell when you are being served if you are being typecast as such. I usually end up tipping as I took two seats to make up for it. and all my years at this Black bear I always gets the best service and no one cares I am alone.First sign of typecasting was the fact that he was in a hurry to get my order without even letting me browse a bit. I told him i am not a breakfast person so i was not sure what to get.positive to that was my order went in pretty quick.but he put my water in the cup already for my tea so i did not get to use the water in the little pot as lipton tea bags cant be reused without killing the already lipton flavor..But that was minor.once i got my food i just sat reading the news on my phone cause I was alone. i did ask him for a box and instead f asking if i needed anything else i got the box and my check. unfortunately it was not my check. i sat for ten minutes and finally gave up and went and got a new check at the register.I still tipped 18 percent but it felt dirty.. as i usually tip 25 to 30 when i eat alone.not a Karen by any means..i was waitstaff i do get it..but stop generalizing people eating alone. we are not a waste of time.tipping culture is brutal.. you get a tip whether your service sucks or not.. but we get shoddy service and there is no recourse as the new world already spells out what your server expects when you pay with a card.i get it you are busy.. but serving is an acting job and we are all expecting a good performance.basically customers pay your bills..

Not a veteran friendly place. If you served or appreciate veterans, you shouldn’t come to this place.Update: Thanks for the update.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch at Black Bear Diner. It's one of my favorite spots for brunch due to its variety, generous portions, and charming decor/branding. Personally, I adore their eggs benedict. Just a heads up, if you order anything with a biscuit, be prepared—they're quite substantial! Overall, the flavors are fantastic, the service is excellent, and there's plenty of parking in the adjacent lot.

Food was decent but prices seem a bit high. Food could be seasoned a bit more like the gravy could use sausage in it and be flavored up more potatoes were plain. I hate eggs and asked if I could get extra taters to replace eggs, they could not accomodate the request, so that was
