Had a awesome dinner last night - ordered my fav waffle with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream. No one does this better than this Black Bear. What made dinner even better was our AWESOME server ANNIE. She made us feel so welcome and made what was my BFF's first time there a great experience. Thank you Annie!

I went there with my best friend around 8p. I had the shrimp basket with fries and it was great! Annie our server was fantastic! She was attentive to us and was quick to respond to our requests. Her smile was infectious and we enjoyed our dinner!

Delicious, though nontraditional, chilaquiles. Friendly service, polite but not invasive. Annie was great.

I ate at black bear for the first time last week and it was amazing. If I'm in the mood for a burger I usually go somewhere quick, but I felt like sitting down. I got the bacon cheeseburger and it good, but I'm happy I sat for a nice meal because my server, Annie was so friendly, on top of my order (I'm pregnant so I need to make sure my burger is well- done), and she made me definitely want to come back here. Thanks for a great experience!!

This is my favorite place to eat in town! The burgers are juicy, the bacon ranch dressing is amazing, and the banana cream pie specifically is wonderful. The service is always fantastic, our server tonight, Annie, was super helpful and nice!! I come here all the time with my family and I won't be stopping soon! Love this place

This is absolutely my best diner experience ever. I am gluten sensitive and Annie did an excellent job to make sure my food did not have any gluten in it. The California burger was the bomb. Our server was very attentive and friendly and went out of her way to make sure our needs were met. The food was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!
