It has been literally 30 years since I've eaten at this location! What used to be the "Iron Skillet" is now the Black Bear Diner.

I always attempt to find a Black Bear Diner on Fri nites for the All-U-Can eat fish!! I didn't end up doin that, but I did go in for breakfast this morning!! Immediately greeted & seated! Nice seats at the bar seating w/sayings engraved on the backs of the seats!! Food was cooked well, hot & fresh!! Biscuit could have used a bit more gravy, wasn't enuf for how big the biscuit was!!
