Food is delicious, service is great. You really cant ask for or expect much more. We love coming to this Black Bear Diner. It's becoming a tradition. Atmosphere is very relaxed and you dont feel rushed. The only suggestion I'd make is updating/upgrading the merchandise area. Just seems a little lacking and Black Bear Diner branding and merch could easy be a big seller if done right. My wife and I love BBD branding but when we go in, the merch available just isnt enticing...

Ate there twice in the past week. The menu was broad and the food was excellent. The manager, Mac and his staff have excellent attitudes and are truly concerned with the satisfaction of the customers. My group sampled items from the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. It was tasty and hot from the kitchen. I will certainly visit again.

This is the blackbear you want to go to. The one over by Cole road is a one star dennys comparatively. We were greeted by a very nice woman who showed us to our table and asked how our day was going.
Our waitress, Mary, was excellent. She didn't rush us, checked on us a few times without being overBEARing (get it?). Coffee was hot and not burnt, French toast was fantastic. Bacon was crispy and not overly greasy.
Mary again was fantastic....
