I couldn’t remember the exact date but have been three times taking family and friends.i have been telling everyone. I think the decor is darling. The imagination that went into it is wonderful. What talent you all have. We had a waitress the first time that was unbelievable fun and informative. Her name was Angie Roberts and did she sell us. I hope you give her a gold star. She woks days and what a delight. The other times was in the evening time and the help is just wonderful. I am so proud of you all for choosing Mo... read more

We decided to try a new place today, some of us craving breakfast and some lunch. This restaurant reminded me of my Dad and Mom and their love for bears.

Blows any restaurant serving this variety out of the water for me! No more Perkins, IHOP, Corner Cafe or even Cracker Barrel for my Family! Black Bear Diner will be our choice in the future! We truly ... read more

First time going to Black Bear Diner. The food was plentiful and tasted great. BUT...a couple issues with my order proved disappointing. First, the house salad was simply lettuce, two (quite bitter) cucumber slices, two cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrot, which I specifically said I didn't want on my salad. No cheese, croutons, or egg like many house salads come with. Second, I ordered, and paid extra for, the "loaded" baked potato with my dinner. The potato I received had no butter, no sour cream, only diced bacon and a m... read more
