Our family loves this place but sometimes u do have to wait in line to get in. The food is served in large portions but they do have a menu that accommodates smaller servings as well. All the waitresses are very attentive and always come around to serve fresh coffee .

I love black bear. They have a good selection for food. Even if you go in during the morning and are wanting something other than breakfast you can order anything from the menu. The waitresses are always so nice and will make sure to help you in any way possible. The restaurant inside is nice. If you're having to wait for seating they have a lot of sitting places. If you don't like being close to people though make sure to not go on like Sundays cause that's when it's the busiest

I enjoyed a bacon cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. It was very good. I would definitely recommend the food.

You can't miss it if you pass through the area. It is a very cozy place where you can spend a very pleasant time with your family or friends eating delicious food.

The food was mediocre being out in the middle of nowhere I think it's reason being. The lack of freshness stands out but when you're hungry it's not as bad especially for kids. Services was amazing the waitress was extremely nice to our whole family and did not hesitate to help our needs and get our order in a timely manner. The inside is very cabin like and I love bears.

The server was great. It was a busy morning. Even still, our hash browns should have been fully cooked, and my eggs should have been more than lukewarm. The chicken fried steak was mediocre. I've had Black Bear Burgers with zero complaint. The breakfast leaves much to be desired. It could be the location (my first time here) or it could be the corporate recipe. Either way, something needs to change.

Black Bear is the only restaurant in town that has a great steamed broccoli that can be substituted for the lowly fried potatoes that are served with most breakfasts. It was delicious!!! and my server was Estefania of the many smiles!!!, beautiful, cheery and fun. atmosphere only got 3 stars because I was in the back room and the acoustics are not good, very noisy.

Lovely place to eat. Staff attended my family and I so well! We don’t speak English well but they were so kind and patient. Manger did an excellent job in ensuring everyone was great. Well highly recommend to others. And they are military and veteran friendly! Love it all.
