Great food served in large portions. Cornbread muffins and biscuits amazing. Chicken fried steak was yummy and enough for two. Fried fish all you can eat was good too. Prices are very reasonable. Bring a big appetite and plan on taking home a doggy bag! So glad we tried it.

We ordered breakfast plates and it was pretty good. Nice portion sizes. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and her service was good. The atmosphere was pleasant, nice and welcoming. I would go back for breakfast again.

The Black Bear Diner is new to Waco. Founded in 1995 in Miunt Shasta, California, this bear themed eatery also sports merch of the restaurant's namesake. As of this review, my wife and I have eaten here twice. It is a convenient location to catch a movie and dinner either before or after. Our first visit was breakfast. We went early and waited maybe 10 minutes. Staff were engaging and helpful. It seems like they are trained in costumer service, a rare skill these days. Decor is fun and "beary" in theme.

This is a cute diner with lots of cute decor. The menu mimics a newspaper with so many options it's hard to pick. You can get the breakfast options all day. Service was friendly and helpful. This is definitely comfort food. They also have several desserts that are shareable.

We've eaten here once in restaurant, which was outstanding!! The server was attentive and the food was really tasty. We've ordered to go now twice. First time was good. The second time was today. We were missing part of our order. My wife's biscuit was missing and my hash browns were also missing, which I paid for separately. That was the only part that was disappointing but that's a pretty big one.

Food was all American. Great breakfast. Had the French toast. Was more than I could eat. Delicious.

Went for breakfast soon after they opened. Have been to one in Fort Worth. Food is average diner fare. Was disappointed in the biscuits- they are huge and looked so good but not. Lot of flavor. Tasted more like a dinner roll. 

Business response:

The people were nice, the ingredients fresh, and the portions were large. But the food was unevenly seasoned ( some bland, some spicy), and prepared somewhere between blanched and fully cooked.
