Only clowns could try to justify charging $5.00 for a side of toasted generic wonderbread or english muffin. How about a $20.00+ omelette? Pure greed with a large helping of comedy relief. Disgusting extortion for ordinary Denny's-grade food. In fact, it WAS a Denny's until the rebrand. Branding isn't enough to fool anyone. Maybe use a money-sucking remora for your mascot. smfh. p.s. See irrelevant generic automated apology response below.

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. First off waited almost 20 minutes to be seated and the place was empty. Ordered dessert and two coffees. The coffee came in dirty mugs with stuff floating around in them. The mug had film all over it. How could you serve coffee in dirty used mugs?? Completely unacceptable!! This is a lawsuit waiting to happen! And the dessert was old and stale wtf??? I will never step foot in a black bear diner again! I have notified the health department, places like this should be closed ... read more

We came in a little before 8:30 pm (supposedly they close at 9:00 pm) for a quick dessert but the waitress refused to serve us because "the kitchen was closed" she said. We would have been out in 15 minutes after getting a slice of pie (no need for any cooking from kitchen). I'm definitely not coming back!

Cute diner, got the egg white spinach chicken sausage scramble. The plate was filled with butter from them cooking it. So if you like a lot of butter, this is your place. Otherwise make sure you ask them for the life They could probably save a lot of money if they cut down on that butter. Oatmeal was good.
Business response:
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns about butter usage. For future visits, please request less butter when ordering. We're glad you enjoyed the oatmeal and diner atmosphere.
Won't be back. After our initial waitress, Cheryl who was great, went on break, we were practically ignored by all else. Food took a long time to come out, I heard a manager apologizing to another table about the wait time with some excuse. The service was awful. We had no cutlery to begin with, and when we asked a waitress she went off and never came back. Had to ask a waiter. Never got the side of ranch or au jus, so I went up to the counter to ask for it. Breakfast food seems decent enough, I ordered pot roast melt and it... read more

I ordered food to go and the box the biscuits came in was covered in what looked to be dirt or lint or something, good thing I looked because I almost put the gravy on it other than that everything else looked fine.
I am trying to be nice, but at this point there is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to say good about this place. This will be the 3rd and last time we ever go. They are ALWAYS understaffed - there is NEVER a manager on duty and the time it takes for you to get noticed and the drink order taken is about 20 minutes. First this little girl came to our table after we waved her down. I asked her if she could take our beverage order -she said "what" I said drink order can you take our order? She said oh yes I can take your drink o... read more

I was in this morning and it seemed like the manager was really mad. I asked a server what his name was because the way he was acting made it seem like he just hates his job. My husband and I were sitting at the counter and Manager Omar was yelling at the cooks and banging his hand on the counter. That made us almost want to leave because we wanted to be in a nice environment.
