I was on a girls weekend with friends. We picked this place based on Yelp reviews for breakfast. The restaurant was cute. I liked the log cabin look and the bear decor. None of the staff seemed happy to be there. One waitress yelled at the cooks that the plates were too hot. They seemed under staffed for a holiday weekend. We had to wait, but once seated the food was good. The waitress was pleasant enough, but you could tell she wasn't enjoying her job. I really hope this was just a bad day! The restaurant is cute and t... read more

The breakfast was very filling! Took enough home that would feed another person. Our waitress was engaging and was constantly attending to her tables. She told us that they give plenty of food; she was RIGHT! We enjoyed our meal and would visit this restaurant again. Our meals arrived in just a few minutes! I had the scrambled eggs, bacon and French toast. I really did take home a complete second serving breakfast With my leftovers. The restaurant is decorated in a rustic theme with lots of BEARS. Very cute. They sell m... read more

Food 5 Ambience 3( no fault of black bear) I ordered chicken avocado club - delicious. Thick chicken slices and thick bacon. Ordered with fries and it was plenty with leftovers Husband ordered 2 eggs with spicy Italian sausage patty , potatoes and a biscuit . Sausage was great, mild spicy. Biscuit excellent. We went for an early lunch during the week and were seated by a man sitting by himself but talking nonstop to the family at another table.. was hoping for a nice relaxing meal but Gabby Gabriel Goat talked about his tr... read more

Clean, fast and friendly service with good food (Breakfast) in this case. Not the normal truck stop dinner. Portions are not an issue unless you hate taking to go boxes. This place is easily overlooked as you pass by the TA but well worth the stop.

Bought two small pizza and 8 chicken wings for more that $60 at Papa John's. Bought two pancakes the at least 12" across. With bacon, coffee, juice etc. That was for my wife. I bought the chicken fried steak. It was bigger than the pancake. With fries and a salad and coffee. At all came out to $37 and my wife and I got (her) two meals and me, 3 out of our left overs. Papa John's didn't last until the next day. Guess what I am trying to say is you get your money's worth at Black Bear. And most importantly the food was rea... read more

Wow who would think that you'd find an amazing diner at a truckstop. This one is located off IH 35 S. at the TA truckstop. It was packed. They serve breakfast all day a big plus. Wonderful, delicious baked goods. Generous portions of meals. I got an omelet and the bacon was thick n crispy, the biscuit was delicious. Will be back to try other menu items

This spot is quite the cute Bear themed diner right off I-35. The service was quite nice and snappy and helped a ton with a intimidating menu (it's that way because they have two size options under their own respected section). The food came out in 15-20 minutes and was delicious everything me and my girlfriend got was fresh,hot, and most importantly delicious!! We were in and out of the restaurant within a hour. 10/10 would come back again!!

We stopped at the Black Bear Diner in Bend Oregon in March to have lunch. My husband was ordering battered fish and requested that the batter not be cooked hard. Gretchen, our waitress relayed the request to Roger, the cook. Unfortunately, another patron took it upon themself to make some rude comments about the request, so we chose to cancel our order and leave. We let the employees know that it was not because of them. Roger made it a point to speak with us and asked us to please reconsider and made sure the meal was cooke... read more

We had an excellent breakfast at Black Bear Diner. The service was great. Their server was very cheery and attentive. The decoration of the cafe is very rustic and cozy. The location is very convenient to get to from the highway. We will definitely come here again.
