Food was good and portion sizes were generous. We waited 25 minutes for a table, which grew to 60 minutes when we left. That might be the only draw back.

So we decided to try Black Bear after reading some very positive reviews. We came for dinner and were greeted and led to a booth. As the four of us walked to our booth, we noticed there were tables that had not been cleared, there was food on the carpet, and our hostess, noticing a puddle of liquid on our table, began using her hands, wiping back and forth, to try to sweep the liquid off the edge. NOT a great start. I asked another waitress if she could wipe down our table and she immediately got some paper towels and c... read more

After read the recent negative reviews about poor service, we went expecting the worst. Got there, 25-30 wait we were told...seated in 10min. Winning! Ordered meatloaf and wife fish & chips. Short wait and my food was great! Our kind and attentive waitress Melissa delivered her fish & chips announcing they did not have tartar sauce that day. My wife cannot eat fish without tartar sauce. Melissa ran back to the kitchen and had the line cook try to whip some up real fast. It wasn't fast enough...by the time Melissa delivered t... read more

They act like they had no idea there would be customers today! No one to greet you & the ordering, & food delivery was about 20 minutes lagging what is normal & it was pretty empty around lunch hour. Major staffing issues at this spot. People were flagging down anyone to pay & leave and still not getting noticed. They get 3 stars cause the breakfast had flavor! Big portions & tasted fresh! 

Business response:
