Wait staff was very pleasant BUT we left after 30 minutes and no food! Apparently one of the cooks was out - we should've been told when we arrived so we wouldn't have wasted our time! Coffee was on the house which was a small consolation- Frst and last time there.

Before ordering, I asked if the CFS was fresh beef breaded on site. Her response was "yes". It was A frozen pre-breaded bad hamburger Patty that was cold with bad gravy as well. I requested crispy hash browns that were cold and not at all crispy. The biscuit was burned as well. When I told the waitress it was it was a frozen pre-breaded patty, she said, "Oh is it, I'm sorry", and walked away swiftly. My wife's chicken tenders on her salad were cold, hard as a rock, and hazardous to chew. Her Italian dressing was Wishbone. Sh... read more

I REALLY REALLY wanted to like this place, but I can't . So, my spouse and I get there. There's a 25 minute waiting. No problem, it's Monday, it's early and at noon this place was packed. So, when we get called, I'm flooded with memories of living in the mid-west. I love the cabin feel. I was pretty happy and excited being there!!! But this happiness was short lived. We get our drinks and shakes we ordered. Then......we waited......45 MINUTES TO GET OUR FOOD. And mind you, what we ordered were omelets. It should have t... read more

Food was fast to come out. Waitstaff is sort of attentive. My eggs were over cooked as I ordered over easy and they were between over medium and over hard. Waffle was delicious as well as the bacon but oh my these hash browns... crispy on top and damn near raw on the bottom. Nothing special here. Take your business elsewhere!

Food substandard. Kitchen is slow. Service is poor. Been there twice. First time my order never came out. Second time, fried chicken was cold and hard. Not going back.

I was pretty bumped with my experience at Black Bear Diner because of all the hype around it. I had seen many amazing reviews and TikTok videos o Black Bear Diner so when it was my turn to choose our daily brunch spot from my friends and I, I suggested here. I regret it. Here where some good and not so great things from Black Bear Diner. There was a lot of parking available so that was good. The restaurant was packed since it was around 2:00pm. Kind of late for brunch but it was still packed. The staff was very friendly an... read more

Food was really good, I'll give it that. My family enjoyed the actual food itself. But good god, the service is actually terrible. The waitstaff seemed fine and at first, very responsive to taking our orders and giving refills. After almost an hour wait time to be seated, my family ordered and waited an entire 45 more minutes for the food to come out. When we called our waitress to ask her when the food was out, she came back and said the manager would be here to talk to us shortly. Next thing you know, a man approached the ... read more

Totally a breakfast place! Had lunch and was not impressed... The coffee was very tasty and the waitress very polite! If I had to choose between this restaurant or Cracker Barrel (cb) .. lunch for CB
