“As a frequent diner at Black Bear Diner, and breakfast lover for the Steak and eggs, or bacon and eggs at Black Bear, make my mouth water. The inside is always warm and cozy like I am in the mountains eating, the coffee is warm and delicious, it whisks me away from everything the moment my lips touch the mug. But the best part of dining at Black Bear Diner is the service from one fantastic person whom goes above and beyond for every customer whom is lucky enough to have her or like me won't sit anywhere but in Jennifer's section. One Saturday I arrived with my family and no Jennifer the place felt different, the diner didn't have it's sparkle and a bit of magic that Jennifer places in the diner. Jennifer makes every person feel they are the only customer in the Diner. I was glad when we returned from a trip to be able to stop in and have breakfast and Jennifer was back, she made us feel like we were missed. When you arrive be sure to ask to be seated in Jennifer's section if you are lucky enough you will hear her singing to the jukebox. Or hear her say as you walk in Welcome, or Good Morning, take a seat anywhere you would like. I can see why Black Bear is lucky to have Jennifer, because when she is not there the place looses a bit of its magic and its charm. Keep up the good job Jennifer. Black Bear Diner is lucky to have you!“

“Server: Madison - She's so amazing and lovely and attentive (but not overly)! Also, a winning personality and very hospitable. Food: 1) House Burger w/ Gluten Free Bun - So tasty! The chef(s) are absolute flavor artists. Love is in all their food creations. (Gluten free bun is NOT dull and dry, it's one of the good ones). 2) Crispy Rice/Spicy Albacore - Dude, what the heck!? We've had these apps at every restaurant that has them and for me this was the best creation/version. It was diced fish, not 'finely minced' like other places, with yummy sauce and red pepper flakes (nice touch!) on immaculately seared rice patties! Ambiance: Outdoor eating area has heaters for when it's chillier, and it's very floral and nature'y. Lovely! Prices:Reasonable for the level of effort put into the food! Love this place.“

You get to see smaller jets/planes and sometimes helicopter land and take off.. Their mimosas are good, too. Walking in is like an airplane runnway. Some of the booths have plane buttons and controls, which the little ones love. Good portion foods and their homemade fries style are delicious, but this last time were kinda burt and a little too greasy, but I still rate 10/10.“

The whiskey selection is very respectable - I have all over the world drinking whiskey - Tennessee, Ireland, Scotland, etc. Had a high end whiskey "neat" and an Old Fashioned (I think "well" is Old Forrester) - didn't come with the cherry, but they were more than happy to get one.

They were very nice and attentive to getting us seated. We ordered fish and chips, chicken sandwich, side salads and the steak baked potato. We shared the baked potato and it was a good portion with the side salad. The fries were enjoyed by all. We also ordered the brownie that came with ice cream and melted marshmallow which we shared again. The drinks were also pretty good. The atmosphere was not too loud and they have TVs for all to enjoy. Really liked that they served the water in a western motif with shorter glasses. We have also heard they have live music on Sundays.“

“Not sure what I expected. It's a divey sports bar with cute young servers that seem to genuinely enjoy their job and a kitchen with a bar food menu. If you turned the lights down and had girls dancing on the bar, it would easily pass as a strip club.The menu is beer and seltzers. The drinks are inexpensive and the servers are well practiced and wearing revealing bikinis. The servers are friendly and work the patrons with an ease that comes with practice. You are likely to recognize some of the staff from other local establishments that specialize in scantily clad service.The location is in the middle of an office and industrial park. Most of the parking spaces say they will tow if you park and go into Swig.Tip well. Be polite.“

“Nestled in the heart of a bustling plaza, Early Bird is a culinary gem that stands out for its unique blend of Peruvian and American dining experiences. My wife and I decided to visit this popular spot for brunch, intrigued by its promise of a fusion menu that piqued our culinary curiosity.Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. Despite its popularity, which was evident from the hour-long wait for a table, the plaza offered ample parking. However, due to the restaurant’s busy nature, we found ourselves parking further away than anticipated. Early Bird utilizes a phone texting system to manage its queue, though in practice, it seemed they preferred the traditional method of calling out names. This slight disconnect in their seating process led to a longer wait for us, possibly exacerbated by a mix-up with another guest sharing my name.Once seated, the service quickly took a turn for the better. The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that our food arrived promptly after we ordered. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian classic that was executed with a flair that married well with the American dining style Early Bird aims to fuse. The flavors were robust and satisfying, a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity.However, despite the delightful culinary experience, the cost of the meal gave us pause. The pricing at Early Bird is on the higher side, especially when compared to other brunch offerings in the area. While we understand the premium ingredients and unique culinary fusion may warrant higher prices, we felt that the value proposition could be better balanced to reflect the overall dining experience.“

We got there right at 9am and I got the "Avocado on Holiday" and my husband got a chicken and biscuit it was egg benedict style with gravy though. My son got the kids dollar pancakes. The food and service definitely lived up to the hype!! I don't like Holindaise Sauce so I got it on the side. Out of all the Holindaise Sauces I've tried and disliked, Kimmies had the most tolerable one lol We cleaned our plates and enjoyed the service and atmosphere:) We will definitely be back!
