Great place!! Pretty busy for a Monday . Big portions. Good hot food. Lots of people to help if you needed anything. Will go back next time going to Cody!! Thanks.. read more

Traveling through Thermopolis this was one of the few ma and pa places to eat. Around noon it was Super busy which was a good sign! I ordered the roast beef which came with 2 sides which I chose cottage cheese and Cole slaw from the ample selection of sides. Both the beef and cottage cheese was average tasting but the cole-slaw lacked for content. What didn't help is that I had several very pesky flies that decided to join me for lunch, and I noticed that many other tables had similar "friends"'joining them as well at their tables. So my score is based mostly on the non-invited bugs. The service and speed were both typical of diners and would have gone 3.5 to 4 if they can control the insect population. read more

Great place for a hearty breakfast, friendly staff and fair prices. Thank you for a good experience.

This cafe is very accomodating, with a simple, but thorough menu. The food was good and definitely worth the price. We particularly liked the homemade home fries sliced thin and grilled on the flat top, without a bunch of onions, that WERE NOT the usual prefab cubed potatoes, lazily dropped in the deep fryer. But the best part of out experience was our waiter, Eric. Patient with many questions, prompt with our food, drinks and every requested item. And what is more, he watched our food being cooked and stopped the cook from putting onions in my omelette, in spite of directions to leave them out. Then, as we were hanging out in front, after breakfast, puzzled by the old building across the street with the swastikas on it, Eric came running out to bring my wife her cell phone, which she had left at the table. Overall, nice place, good food, and great service. read more

Great breakfast! Great staff! Very fast service! Cinnamon roll to die for! Don't pass it up!!

Stopped for breakfast on our way home to Missouri from Cody. Wonderful service. Pancakes were awesome; loved the "hot and cake" and the big breakfast burrito. Kids loved the covered wagon booth. If we are ever back that way, we'd definitely stop in again!!! read more

Great homestyle breakfast in the heart of Thermopolis. We had read in a Yelp review about the special "Monk brewed coffee". Indeed, they serve Mystic Monk Coffee here, a small-batch coffee roasted by real Carmelite Monks in Powell, Wyoming. It's not on the menu, so you have to know to ask for it! You'll pay $2.50 a cup, but it's definitely better than the house coffee (we did a taste test). The food was great, with very large portions and plenty of condiments at the table. After breakfast, you can enjoy either the dinosaur museum or a dip in the hot springs! read more

This place was just okay for me. We are kind if stuck here in Thermopolis, WY for a few days waiting on our motor home to be repaired after a brake line broke. Trued this place for breakfast. I had a very bland, tasteless Belgian waffle and my husband had 2 eggs over easy. He loved his, but I can't say the same about mine. read more

Cheap, fast, tastes great. Love the build your own breakfast and burgers! We stopped by for breakfast during a road trip and went back for lunch read more

This place is amazing!! What a gem! The service is amazing, the good is great! It's such a warm, friendly place!! Not to be missed!

Great food. The pancakes and cinnamon rolls rock!! I haven't had a dish I didn't lime!!!

On our spring break getaway to Thermop. we thought we'd hit up some highly rated restaurants while we visit! This was a nice stop for lunch. Nothing over the top but quality food for a reasonable price. Friendly staff and food was made quick. Nice choice when you come visit! We enjoyed the fish tacos (which were huge) and the Philly. read more

We had the schnitzel and sauerkraut tonight. Very good. And the bread pudding was delicious. We always enjoy our visits to Black Bear. Breakfasts are always good and the burgers....yummy! read more

I loved this place. We were only in Thermopolis overnight, but wanted breakfast before we pulled out of town. I took the "make your own breakfast" option, choosing grits, a sausage patty, and two eggs over easy. It was delicious. My husband had his fav, burger and eggs with hash browns, and he said it was really good also. The coffee was good, the prices reasonable, the service excellent, and the atmosphere congenial, with comfy booths and simple western decor. read more

What a great breakfast spot. We ate on the patio and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The food was great and just as we ordered. We will be back aga read more

This is not part of the Black Bear Diner chain of family restaurants. The sign is very similar and was a little confused at first. Small town friendly cafe open for breakfast and lunch only. Had the biscuits and gravy. Portion was smaller than I was expecting. The biscuits were normal size, but so used to oversized biscuits at other places. Food was good and small town staff very friendly. The 'Monk' coffee is on the menu now. It was mentioned in prior review, reminded me to order it. I think the refill was regular coffee, but only because she was not the same waitress and I didn't think to ask;( Definitely worth coming back;) read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. Not only was the food great but it came out of the kitchen quickly and is priced fairly. The service was exceptional too. Our son has an egg allergy and the owner/cook came out to talk to us about the menu to make sure we didn't order anything with eggs in it. The green chili burrito was exceptional, and cinnamon rolls and pancakes are as big as the plate. You won't leave hungry! read more

Place was pretty good and decent prices. We ordered egg whites, oatmeal, French toast, and protein omelet. Everything tasted good, except egg whites had to be remade due to amount of oil. The whites were yellow - and not like "little bit of yolk fell in" yellow. Even with the remake, still quite oily. read more

Absolutely the best kept secret around. Fantastic food at very reasonable prices. Pretty much the closest you'll get to mom's cooking without going home. By far my favorite place for breakfast. read more

We absolutely LOVED this cafe! Yummy food, great environment, clean, inviting decor made this my favorite place to eat in Thermopolis, hands down. read more

Friendly and attentive service, great food, big portions, and cinnamon roll was everything earlier reviewers promised!

I have eaten here twice, the first time (4 year ago) was so memerable that I needed to stop again, yesterday. I remember I had a cinnamon roll last time, there were 4 of us and we split it along with our breakfast. This visit it was just two of us and we didn't want that much food. The portion size was just right, I had Wyoming Browns, it keep me going until dinner without being over full. Worth the time for Breakfast, only meal I have had there but I would bet lunch is good also. Don't pass it up!! read more

Great breakfast diner. Sat outside and enjoyed the small town atmosphere. The bison burger with eggs and gravy was really delicious.

Decent food. Great prices. Nice people. Sometimes i think people just love to complain. You are in THERMOPOLIS...and you can get a hot meal for under $8. And its good! My family of 5 tried a little bit of everything. Plates were cleared. Nuff said. read more

Excellent! Great breakfast. My only beef is we paid for some monk brewed coffee that was not so good. It's kind of hyped in the restaurant as the coffee to get and is more expensive than standard. i thought it was watery. however the rest of the food and the service was impeccable. great experience. read more

Five stars in Thermop. Excellent breakfast (be prepared, they are Wyoming size meaning, hearty). We had wanted to try this place for dinner but I think they are only open for breakfast and lunch. Try the green and red chili. The red is veggie style, with actual vegetables in it. I preferred the green but both were good. The cinnamon rolls are giant and good to share. Good coffee. The lunch menu looked good, too. They have a fairly large menu for a small cafe. There were a variety of pies available. Friendly service. Bison appears to be local (as advertised at the table). We didn't try any, but perhaps a good place to order a bison burger (compared to say, Safari or Pumpernicks). read more

Sunday brunch, 5-top, full restaurant. Home fries from scratch, good eggs, excellent coffee roasted by monks. Excellent service from start to finish. Very tasty meat selection, solid savory bfast breads options. Toast was right on the money and not drowned in margarine. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning and appreciated the accommodation provided by the staff for our wide ranging family group, extra requests, special prep asks and leisurely table time allowance. read more

So glad we found this wonderful local cafe! Our group of 7 were on a tight lunch schedule, but wanted something other than the fast food chain option. We called ahead to tell them our situation and they were totally accommodating -- our table was ready when we walked in, the waitress took our orders within minutes, and the homemade food arrived shortly. The owners, Rick and Deb Tudor, even came by to make sure everything was acceptable and shared a bit of pleasant conversation with us as well. Then to top it off, they made sure we made it back to our bus on time! We had a fine lunch and made some new friends as well. You can't go wrong eating at this Black Bear Cafe. Good food served with hometown friendliness. read more

Food was good, all made fresh. I got a turkey melt with Cole slaw. They serve breakfast all day. Very clean inside. Booths were a little dated. I would return for breakfast or lunch. read more

While fishing in Thermopolis, I visited this quaint cafe three days in a row! It was fantastic all three days and gave me a chance to try three different meals. The breakfast burrito is fantastic. Their pork green chile is on point with shredded pork instead of cubed pork which I prefer. They cook perfect sunny side up and over easy eggs. Black bears service is impeccable and they keep the coffee coming. In this small town in Wyoming there are not many choices and you CAN'T go wrong with this cafe. I love what the owners have done with this cafe and I can't wait to come back and try it again. 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

Very cute interior, with a relaxed "seat yourself" coziness. Excellent menu variety and reasonable prices for the area. My son and I came in for lunch, and we both enjoyed our meals. Soda is served in the can with a glass of ice on the side, many of the menu items are homemade, and the staff is very friendly. I look forward to eating here again. read more

Excellent food! I had the Breakfast Tacos and they were quite yummy! The server was a dear. I will return when I'm in town again.

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

Good place for breakfast. Excellent breakfast burrito.

Great food and great prices! I got a cinnamon roll and it was huge! It tasted great as well. Definitely meant to be shared. I also had the waffle which was delicious.

Fantastic fresh breakfast. 2 egg omelets are the norm so you dont pay for 3 unless you want it. Great priced excellent service.

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
