It was my first time coming to a Black Bear Diner, and it exceeded my expectations. This location has an easily accessible parking lot. Interior was very nice and welcoming. As we went in, the waitress handed us a newspaper format menu. It has a list of all the locations and when they opened; it was very impressive! The menu is extensive, and it took a while to look through and decide. I ordered the Denver Omelette, which included French Toasts. The portion was HUGE! The omelette was delicious and one of the best I had. I would definitely go to a Black Bear Diner again, but would probably split the plate with another person. I was full from lunch until the next day. The portion is that huge.

We enjoyed our breakfast meal today -good quality food and coffee BUT we especially appreciated our server Nadia V. We are giving Kudos to her for her friendliness, and most importantly for coming back to check on us shortly after we began eating and one more time to see if we needed anything else! Service at it's best.

The service here can be a tad bit slow but the servers are all really nice and helpful. The food is worth the wait, the plates look fantastic and the food is just delicious. They have a huge menu and offer a ton of desserts. I like to end my meal with a mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream. The restaurant is a little small but feels really homey if you go in the evening.

This place is a gem. The Food is very delicious and servers are super friendly. Inside is decorated beautifully down to the newspaper style menu. Also download the app to see how the plates look, the menu at the restaurant does not have pictures.

Cute decor, organized condiments .. I ordered a you choose special. I got waffles two eggs and a piece of ham. I also ordered a bowl of chili with a cornbread. It was very good. Overall I did enjoy my meal and my waitress was attentive. I did not have to be flagging her down for anything; management even came by asking if everything was OK , so good hospitality. The only thing that maybe I would like to see improved, the men! it feels very cluttery and difficult to truly understand what they serve.

I was working from home and decided to be a lazy and order breakfast and lunch from Black Bear Diner. I placed my order online early on a Tuesday morning, a time when the place wasn't crowded so I wait it would be ready in 15 to 20 mins, and found the entire experience smooth and efficient. For breakfast, I ordered Joe's Hobo Omelette omelette (link sausage & thick-cut smoked bacon, jack cheese, cheddar cheese, spinach & onion) which was perfectly cooked. The portion size was generous which filled me up for most of the day. Lunch consisted of a cheese burger wrapped in lettuce with sweet potato fries. The burger was flavorful and generous portion size for the sweet potato fries. The order was ready for pickup in less than 20 minutes, as promised. Finding parking was hassle-free, and the food was prepared exactly as ordered. The staff was friendly and had my order ready to go when I arrived, ensuring a quick and seamless pickup. Black Bear Diner delivered on quality and convenience. Whether for take-out or dining in, I will definitely return.

We happened upon Black Bear Diner for only the second time! It was hustling and bustling and FUN I'm a little picky and our waitress even warmed my butter for my toast it was a dining pleasure! We will make this a regular on our rotation! Delicious salad dressing, I'm sure it's homemade!
