Went Friday night and ordered the all you can eat fish The fish was over cooked (to my liking) the Cole slaw was OK. French fries were good. The hush puppies were so large they weren't cooked still doughy in the middle. What little I could eat was good. Service was slow but everyone was nice.

This time I ordered the Reuben. What kind of meat was that? , because it sure was not corned beef. The meat looked and tasted old nothing like fresh corned beef. I was up all night getting sick. I've been to Black Bear Diners before and I was not served old meat in a sandwich. Then they rushed us to pay our bill and rushed us out. Last time I will ever come to this location. Who ever is managing or running this place needs to be trained as well as the chef putting out old meat in his sandwiches. I emailed the owner like her... read more

I recently had lunch at this location. The hostess was super prompt and friendly... to everyone but us. My waitress Cheryl was attentive, kind, courteous and totally on top of things... for everyone but us. If she put as much effort into assisting us as she did in ensuring I knew her name, maybe she would have received a tip. Had she not been ridiculously rude about the items I ordered, or about my request for a box, I might not be making this post. I've been to this location before without my husband and had a ple... read more

Just spent over twenty minutes sitting in a booth without service. I arrived to a mostly empty restaurant. I waiting at the front for a bit and a guy (whom I later guessed to be the manager) finally seated me. I started reading through work material. I saw a server about ten minutes later. I have to assume she was on break? I would have been okay if I was able to get a cup of coffee but after twenty minutes, no more sign of the manager and two tables being served that came after me...I decided a slight wait at Pete's for bet... read more

If you like pre packaged food bought from a store this is the place for you. If you like unseasoned probably microwaved potatoes than you'll love this place. If you like your egg yolks runny like water with no flavor as well. Never trying this place again.
