The food is basic "truck stop" fare that seems pre-cooked, didn't arrive hot. Scrambled eggs had that pre-cooked patina, pancakes were firm and cupped, not hot. The coffee was not good. The hot Italian sausage was decently spicy but very greasy. Service is good and pleasant. Serving portion size is very large. A bit expensive at $20. I've had worse, it's edible and I was hungry. It's just disappointing as this was my "cheat" meal and I was hoping for better. ‍ Ok, I need to admit that I recently returned from Paris... read more

Good quality and lots of options if you're looking for an abundant breakfast. It's one of the few options in the area that opens early. We got their chocolate chip pancakes and eggs with bacon and larger pancakes and everything was yummy and plenty. Service was welcoming and personable. I'd definitely go back (despite fares tend to be on the pricier end).

Michael our server went above and beyond to make sure we were seated quickly, our drinks were tefilled, and our food was hot. I was pleased when this spot opened because I always frequented their Vegas locations and the food here is just as good. Large portions huge omelettes and you can get cornbread with it. The huckleberry lemonade is delicious! My friend loved her burger too. The decor is very cute and they have a small gift-shop with bear items. The baby bear hot sauce is very hot and the mama bear hot sauce is sweet an... read more

I have been to many BB diners. They are not all the same in terms of how they prepare their dishes and food quality. Also, the service is sometimes a hit or miss. We really enjoyed this location, and our server Dominik was excellent. He was friendly and attentive, all while being very busy. He was able to manage it all! I didn't catch the managers name, but she was out there hustling and cleaning tables and dealing with customers. Don't hesitate to stop by. The crispy chicken chef salad is great!

The rather rustic western inspired menu, including cream, waffles and pancakes, and lots of huckleberry items and gigantic bear. Claw pastries is excellent and well prepared. Serving portions are reasonable, but not overly generous to the point of excess. Lots of options because the menu was designed with all the sides to be separate from the entrées. And they're known for their collection of different pepper sauces, including Baby, Mama, and Papa bear heat levels. because this location is quite large, seating approximately ... read more
