“Great dinner, and the wait staff is great especially a waitress named Harper who should be the manager, super Intelligent as well as a total pro at what she is doing for a living. Great personally and a problem solver and super hard working and totally unwilling to compromise the quality of service that Black Bear Dinner is known for. Ronald R Mosher“

It tasted fresh and flavorful. The peach cobbler was amazing as well as the brisket and the barbecue baked beans.“

“Great breakfast and friendly staff“

“food is great“

“I highly recommend this Café. I ordered to go as I’m leaving state after breakfast, but the girl that helped me carry my drinks out was super sweet. Not being from Texas I was curious about everything on the land and she was very informative (I should’ve gotten her name). I ordered the Sycamore 2s which was 2 pancakes (choice of 1/2 waffle or 2 slices French toast), 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon (choice of sausage also). I got my son an order of French toast, and a friend the brunch burger. Everything was AMAZING. The server mentioned Mondays they have a mimosa special (she told me exactly but I forget it). I like over medium eggs and this is the first place I’ve been that’s gotten my eggs PERFECT the first time around. It’s an adorable little café and there’s a wedding venue in the back. I highly recommend trying their food if you haven’t before. I took photos but it won’t let me add them to my review.“

“We walked into Sudie’s after a funeral, completely unannounced with a large party of 40 people. The management team went above and beyond to accommodate us. Coya, our only waitress, didn’t bat an eye. She was amazing and worked extremely hard to take care of all of us. Thank you, your kindness made all the difference in the world at that moment.“

“Every time I go to Razzoo's, I leave satisfied 😌 Best part is the service I receive from Faith. She's knowledgeable about the food and, of course, the drinks. 10 out of 10“

“Visit was on 9/13 during dinner. We were immediately greeted when we came in the door. We were sat quickly. Angel was our server and she went above and beyond. We all odered steaks and they were all cooked perfectly. As we arrived it started to get very busy. The manager took her time and came over to make sure everything was great at our table. It it was then that I noticed how busy they started to get and saw that the manager was helping assist with tables on the floor. You don't see that very often these days. She i just wanted to make sure that everything was flowing properly. I highly recommend this location.“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“we ate there today and the food was delicious and the service was great, our server Billy was excellent.“

“Good atmosphere, view, and food.“

“Great people and service to match.“

“Food is good… But! Staff is slow at seating people. Not cleaning the tables on time and the restaurant is messy. No motivation among the staff, like they’re Hating on life! I get it, Sucks that you’re working there but don’t blame the customers for your Life decisions.“

“Prices were a little expensive. You do get big portions though. I asked for cheese in my eggs & they used shredded cheese & didn't melt it. At most places when you get sausage with your meal it's 2 pieces. Here it was 1 small piece. Service was GREAT!

We went back today for lunch. Much better!“

“La experiencia en este restaurante fue excelente. Desde la atención del personal hasta la calidad de los platillos, todo superó las expectativas. El ambiente agradable y acogedor ideal para disfrutar una comida tranquila.“

“We stopped in after a funeral viewing and unexpectedly ended up with a party of 16. Leo was absolutely amazing! He handled our large group with professionalism, kindness, and patience. He made sure every order was correct, stayed on top of everything, and was incredibly attentive the entire time.

We’re regulars, and the customer service here is always excellent, but Leo truly went above and beyond. He made a difficult day a little easier for our family, and we’re so grateful for his outstanding service. Thank you, Leo—you did an incredible job!“

“Racquel P served myself and a friend on 12-31-24. She gave us excellent service and deserves a big raise. Wonderful lady!!!“

“At 9:30 we sat to celebrate my husband’s 2nd higher up promotion with his company, he just wanted to have a few drinks & good meal & enjoy his accomplishments. With the 1st waitress We ordered 4drinks, two dirty drinks for our kids, which was one dirty Diet Pepsi and one dirty mug root beer, Dirty diet Pepsi came with no toppings, The mug came with just the cream topping. She took the diet back to get fixed, so I thought. We asked another waitress Angela while waiting if they came with toppings because that’s what I read an seen on the menu, she said yes, and brought a cherry topping. Here came the dirty Diet Pepsi, I told the 1st waitress there was no cherry topping on the drink and if we could get that, she kinda of gave a smirk of frustration with not getting the order right the 1st round. My daughter tried to enjoy it but didn’t like it , it was the only diet option listed from what we seen on menu. so we asked for another dirty mug instead, and my husband ordered his 2nd alcohol beverage. We then tried to place our food orders as she walked by asking can we order now, but didn’t acknowledge his voice, or maybe didn’t hear but under the circumstances we thought maybe it was rude of her or she was annoyed by the drinks. Got Angela attention again , she said she would let her know we wanted to order already, After our food came out, my daughter had already starting eating because she was given insulin for her meal. Husband was wondering where his adult beverage was, because it had been over 20 minutes. My husband's meal came out last because they were waiting on breaststicks, and then she brought his food out with no silverware nor did I have any, also forgot my daughter's side of mozzarella sticks. Once we told the waitress of the inconvenience about the his drink etc.
she had ask If we wanted to speak to her manager, we said yes, explained the situation got our waitress switched out for Angela, who was very helpful and ended up taking care of us The rest of the night, the manager was very professional and understanding and help compensate some of the items off our bill, our family was grateful for that.“
