Black Bear Diner is one of those places you can take the family and relax and enjoy the food, service and decor. While the food is on par with other breakfast chains, it does offer more in the way of the overall customer experience. Again, you'll get more out of it if you don't dine alone here. We had the eggs Benedict and the sweet waffle. Everything was cooked as expected and the Benedict had great hollandaise sauce. Ordered a side of sausage with the waffle and both were very good. My only gripe was packaged butter was provided and it was as hard as a rock. One of my pet peeves when I dine. Soft butter is not a big ask or expectation. Overall very good and the staff was very attentive and helpful.
The rating remains the same. I enjoyed their breakfast. Unlike other breakfast restaurants, they don't overcook their meat. Of course, I forgot that I could split my bacon with sausage. My husband upgraded his meat to two patty sausages for an extra $1.99. They are very good. I think I will get them next time.
I know their pancakes are denser than other breakfast places. This time, they seemed even denser. My husband tried their French toast instead, which is better than their pancakes. We both agree that we should try the biscuit and gravy next time.
Their coffee is very good. I wish i could buy the cup :) However, getting the server to give me refills was rather difficult.
