For rural Wyoming, quite a nice little restaurant with good atmosphere. Went for lunch and looked like they had a good selection (and my lunch mates really enjoyed there meal) but the selection for vegetarians definitely is very small. The only lunch like item that was vegetarian was the cheese only quesadilla. It was ok but nothing special. read more

Was there July 22, 2017 at lunch time, Friendly staff, Clean Restaurant, waitress kept apologizing for taking so long, which they were busy. Overheard folks behind us say they had been there over an hour. We had gotten lunch Chicken Tacos/and Fish Lunch specials, which there wasn't a lot too them. No extra stuff on Tacos such as sour cream/Cheese/Salsa, Fish was just two small pieces of fish and slaw. I think there specialty is probably breakfast, which I believe is served all day. read more

The small town cafe atmosphere is alive and well in Thermopolis! We stopped for breakfast and were greeted by a friendly staff. Not to mention the food was also delicious (especially the bacon). Highly recommend to those visiting the hot springs or traveling through to the Parks. read more

This was probably the best place that we've eaten at on our road trip. The service was great and the food was amazing 10/10 would eat here again. Be sure to get their cinnamon rolls because there're huge!!! read more

Black Bear Cafe - a cinnamon roll and a plate of pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Thermopolis, Wyoming

See all

This restaurant is unbelievable for such a small town ! The huge, freshly made cinnamon rolls, pies, and bread pudding are delish! The breakfast menu is HUGE and has most everything you might want. My favorite for lunch is the pulled pork burrito with the homemade green chili sauce (not hot, just flavorful), but I truly haven't had any dish there that wasn't yummy! read more

This was a gem of a spot. The breakfast food was top notch, coffee was good and the service was friendly. We will be going back the next time my family and I are in Thermop! read more

Very happy with service and food!! Daughter loved the chicken quesadilla :) Papa bear pancakes is enough for 2... Very tasty!!

Excellent food. Fantastic, friendly service. What else can I say. A real find tucked away off the main street in Thermopolis. If you have any leanings toward bread pudding, be sure to save room! read more

Delicious food with a great menu selection. Don't let the store front fool you, this is a great little restaurant with some of the friendliest people I've ever come across. read more

Great home style breakfast. Nice service & very reasonable prices. Stop in here before you head out to go fishing. We had biscuit & gravy with an egg and potatoes. No health food restaurant here, just tasty, filling fare. read more

Fantastic breakfast in lovely Thermopolis. My mother had the veggie scramble and I had a biscuit egg sandwich. So tasty and the staff were all so friendly. Would definitely come back again and again if I lived here. read more

Black Bear Cafe - Interior shot of restaurant. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Thermopolis, Wyoming

My family and I have been coming to Thermopolis for the past 5 summers. We ALWAYS eat at the Black Bear Café multiple times. We have always had wonderful food and the employees are so friendly (like family). Highly recommended!! read more

Decidedly underwhelming. I took 2 bites of the breakfast green chili smothered breakfast burrito and knew I would be unable to choke it down. I can't say exactly what was wrong with it, but it tasted awful. I ordered pancakes, eggs and bacon. The bacon was good. I put enough hot sauce on the eggs to make them edible. The pancakes were bland - even with a lot of syrup. My wife said her oatmeal was so-so too. They charged me for both meals but gave me a $2.50 discount to offset it a bit. There are not a lot of options in Thermopolis, but we're thinking McDonalds May be the better choice. read more

Great breakfast. Had the Blue Mama Bear: blueberry pancake, bacon, egg. Good wifi Coffee: Folgers (yech). They will, upon request, brew a costa rica coffee, but it comes through the same machine, is brewed at about 3/4 of full strength and is only slightly better. read more

Nice rastaurant buffalo burger and fish and chips are good also sweet potato tots are addictive.

This is our go to place for BREAKFAST!! Love the service and food; why would I complain? I keep going back! Like what you see on the menu? ORDER IT! I love their Pork Green Chili; especially on the rare occasion they get some SPICY Green Chilies! read more

Terrific home style food with exceptional service. Always eat at Black Bear when in Thermopolis,WY.

Waited 45 minutes for cold and bland food. Even had to wait 20 minutes to order while other tables, who appear to be locals, were served and received their food well before us. Guess this place isn't a fan of tourists in a tourist town. If you're a tourist visiting Thermopolis, please go elsewhere! read more

Great food for breakfast or lunch, reasonably priced and the service the staff provides is outstanding. My favorite place to get any food before 3 in Thermopolis! read more

YUM! Didn't think I would find a good place to eat on Thermopolis but I was surprised. Very good and large size meals, big selection and all home style! If you come through, stop here. Not hungry? Try the cinnamon roll! read more

What a great place!! Breakfast and lunch...kind and helpful wait staff....Between our table of 4, we had breakfast (bacon and eggs) and fish tacos, chicken, blue cheese and bacon salad and a club sandwich....All was great....Very enjoyable!! read more

Stopped by early on a Saturday morning, pleasantly surprised. Feels like a cafe you'd find in a bigger city, big windows, modern. Waitress and cook were welcoming, warm, and prompt. Ordered coffee, a parfait, cinnamon roll, and breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious, burrito was the size of a small baby. Glad we had gone to the hot springs the night before so that we didn't lapse into a food coma in the pools. read more

This is a funky place in a funky town. The owner chatter our ears off and it was hard to leave (in a good way). We loved the pancakes.

Worth the stop. Good food.nice people Nice little town to stop and shop. If you stop at the cafe have the pancakes

Amazing breakfast!! The biscuits and gravy are to die for, and you have to try the green chili. The staff are so kind, and the prices extremely reasonable. read more

Stopped by on another road trip. Breakfast of biscuits and gravey with house fries and egg. The house fries are amazing! Lots of crispy black bits and tons of flavor. The biscuits and gravey were ok, but nothing to get super excited about. We also had the French toast combo, egg and bacon. Pretty standard, a bit bland. Shakes were good, but the we're chunks of ice milk in them. The staff is still super friendly. Still a great bargin meal. Will stop by again I'm sure. read more

Fantastic breakfast. Great options and portions to keep you full of energy for a day on the Big Horn. Not recommend if you are on a diet. The option for toast or pancake is rarely found at breakfast places. Coffee is excellent and the terrific service keeps it flowing. À la carte options make breakfast completely customizable but reasonably priced. Careful if you eat here first and want to try other places. This is the best location in Thermopolis for breakfast. Wish I could comment on lunch but never got off the river until dinner. read more

Asked one of the locals where was a good place to eat - he recommended Black Bear Cafe. Went there for the noon meal. I had beer battered fish and cole slow and potato salad. It was excellent. The wait staff were great, really quick, and definitely good looking! Keep up the great restaurant!! read more

I used Black Bear cafe for catering services for a family party of 130 people. Debra was on the ball, took great care of everything we planned for plus, it was excellent food! Outstanding should be the word I use, no problems, no complaints, all of our guests complimented on the great food. I did not have to do a thing as far as the food was concerned, the left over food was bagged up and placed neatly on the counter for us when the party was over. I recommend highly read more

We liked that breakfasts was available all day but our food was cold and it tasted horrible. Waste of money.

Best place for breakfast or lunch in Thermopolis. Fast friendly staff. Wi-Fi for the remote worker. Only downer is it closes at 3.

We went to Black Bear Cafe twice on our visit to Thermopolis. Both times the wait staff was very attentive and the food was consistent. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted good. There was a large selection on the menu and we got our food very fast. We would definitely return! read more

We recently vistted this sleepy little town to celebrate a birthday. On Sunday morning we went to the Black Bear Cafe for breakfast. Upon entering the restaraunt, we were told to seat ourselves which we promptyly did as there were a few empty tables and booths. It took 10-15 minutes for our server to come and greet us and take our drink order. "Greeting" is a little bit strong of a description, as he just wandered over and ask for our drinks without so much of a hello. The food was very good and the prices were very reasonable. If it had not been for our server, I would have given this place a higher rating. It is typical cafe food but it is done well. It's a shame that they've got such poor service. While we hugrily waited, we watched the staff busy themselves with cleaining tables for a crowd that didn't exist, while ignoring diners (us) who were about to get up and leave...profit never realized. We unfortuanately had to be more direct with our server in order to get very basic service, which we don't like doing. Enjoy the food but don't expect much in the way of even basic service. read more
