I ordered the open faced turkey sandwich at Black Bear Diner, and it really hit the spot. The combination of savory gravy and cranberry sauce brought everything together nicely, giving it that classic Thanksgiving flavor. The portion size was ideal, filling without being overwhelming.

Since I was out of the country during Thanksgiving 2025, this meal felt like a make up holiday dinner. I definitely savored it, though it was not quite the same without being surrounded by family and friends.

The atmosphere had a moderate noise level, making it easy to carry on a conversation with my friend without any issues. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick, which added to the overall positive experience.

I would gladly order this again and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a comforting, homestyle meal.

Love this place. The portions are really big. The menu's are made to look like a newspaper. Love them because they also have so much history about the restaurant in them. Service was excellent. Waitress was very nice and polite. I had an omelet that was delicious. Definitely recommend this place.

Yummy cheeseburger salad, no gluten. Good spot to take kids.
Edit for 2026: no cheeseburger salad on the menu and the prices are way too high. Got a patty melt and fries, decent but small portions. Disappointed. I love the diner atmosphere but can’t justify paying $18 for a taco salad (when I wanted a cheeseburger salad anyway).

I arrived around opening time, and the staff was welcoming and attentive during my entire visit. Food and beverages were spot on throughout and I will definitely recommend family and friends to stopby if they get the chance.

I have gone her frequently it seems that it has gone downhill staff is friendly but the place was filthy. I understand people call out making it difficulton the other staff; you still need to keep your standards at the companies expectations. Ordered a drink but never received it, got my water though😄. Not sure if they have a corporate structure this place could benefit from unexpected visits from who ever over sees the business.
