Still charged for food that has huge egg shells
Alissa S.

Unfortunately, our experience at Black Bear Diner was disappointing from the moment we walked in. There was no greeting, no "good morning," just "name, phone number, 25-minute wait." The friendliness and customer service at the front felt completely lacking. Once we were seated, our waiter was actually great and was the only positive part of the visit. However, the food itself was very disappointing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and when I took a bite, there were large eggshell pieces inside the eggs. After that, I completely lost my appetite and stopped eating. Overall, between the poor first impression and the food quality, this was not a good experience, and unfortunately we will not be returning.

Pie menu 10/26
Leilani M.

Located just off the 60fwy mountain exit. Among one of the eateries in the shopping center. Plenty of parking right in front. Main entrance is off mountain facing the Main Street. Service was welcoming and friendly. Open seating at the bar area or booth and tables with a little wait. Great for larger groups to gather. If you order their biscuits & gravy it's a very large portion. Perfect for sharing. Get some extra gravy to keep things moist. Their signature house hot sauces are a trio of mild hot and extra. Dash some on for a kick. Merch items at the front pies and desserts displayed. Awesome service by all the staff. The cooks and servers were hustling during a weekend lunch rush. They're a great team of wonderful people.

Denver Omelette (1140-1450 cal)
Kyle S.

Food was decent. The Denver omelette was large and filling, but nothing particularly special. Some menu items are worth it, while others are hit or miss. It would be nice to see something on the menu that really stands out. For the price and portion sizes, though, you definitely get your money's worth. Nothing stellar or over the top--just a cozy, no-frills diner with solid plates.

False advertising. It displays all of this for 11.99. Not true! The blueberry pancakes are separate and there is an extra charge for them. Poor tactic to loor customer into thinking this is a great deal for a meal.

Initially I wanted to give this place 4 stars but I had a situation and it'll bring it down. The service was great, I forgot the name of our server but she was very sweet & attentive. I got the 4 piece fried chicken meal substitute mashed potatoes (10/10) my husband got some sort of burger with avocado sub fries for mashed (7/10) and we also got a banana bread pudding French toast to share (100/10) my toddler got a grilled cheese & he said it was cheesy and yummy (9/10) When I took my son to the restroom, as we were about to leave the stall - we came face to face with a male worker, inside the ladies room, cleaning. I didn't hear any knocking or any announcement of such - so it shook us a bit. I felt a little uncomfortable. He kept cleaning around us as we were washing our hands. It was not busy outside whatsoever in the restaurant so I'm not sure why he didn't just wait outside til we were done. I have girl cousins who sometimes use the restrooms by themselves and idk how I would feel if a male employee was in there with them. I called the store a few days later & they said they'd talk to the team about it but I'm just still shook since that's never happened to me before.

First time at any of these locations, I was invited as part of a large group. We had a table towards the back that seated our group with a little privacy. While everyone was arriving the server, who was all alone began serving coffee and water to everyone. Once everyone arrived our orders were taken. I ordered the black bear build your own breakfast with 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of thick cut bacon and biscuits and gravy. When the plate arrived the biscuits were larger than I expected and super filling. It all in was a great experience.

Classic Benedict and mimosa
Tracy B.

We went in after our hike Sunday morning. We were able to walk in and go straight to the counter. The service is five star very friendly and super quick in getting us our drinks and taking our order. Place was clean in our area although you have to deal with the front house noise of all the people being taken to their table. Food wise great portion for the price. I believe my classic plate was about $15. I was craving hash brown and it hit the spot. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that it came out a bit on the just warmer side like it sat for just a bit and I've had more flavorful Benedicts. Overall good experience

2 Biscuits & Gravy
Jackie M.

Theres either something in the water, cups or ice machine. We ordered water and it had black flakes at the bottom. I dont know if its mold or what. We ordered another water and the same black flakes. Service is good. Very friendly and attentive. Food was ok. Just an ordinary breakfast, nothing to rave about. I'm worried about those black flakes tho. I was only able to see them because i got water. Everyone else drank coke. What if they also had those black flakes in their drinks.

Fresh Baked Bear Claw
Christopher P.

Great diner food here! Not a plate full of dripping grease here! Unlike two other popular diner chains... Massive portions at a reasonable price. Try the bear claw! Service was good and friendly. Great ambiance with the bears.

Patty melt with onion rings
Marie S.

Nice diner atmosphere with plenty of seating and food options. Server was pleasant and food arrived quickly. Patty melt was flavorful and onion rings were nice and crunchy. Very reasonably priced compared to some other places. Super busy on weekends but wait times are not bad. Great for a nice breakfast

Counter
Alex P.

Haven't been here in a while. Always get great service and the best food. The food was great as always. Darlene was amazing and the most professional employee. With the bears everywhere and the 60's music and country music was great.

The food is excellent. Bacon is applewood smoked and sausage is great too. I order the volcano every time. Claudia was our server and I would give her five out five stars.

Everything was tasty, with great flavor and a barbecue sauce that really hit the spot. My favorite was definitely the brisket. For the sides, we tried the esquite, which had great flavor, and the mac and cheese was perfect--creamy and satisfying. The only small complaint was that the pulled pork was a little cold, although I'm not sure if that was because we tried it toward the end of the meal. There was plenty of seating, and the service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Overall, Mule Car Smokehouse is a solid spot for barbecue, good drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!

I wanted to give Eureka a second chance after speaking to the general manager Christina, but…read moreunfortunately, my experience today was disappointing. I initially called four times before coming in because I was trying to avoid feeling disappointed if they were unable to accommodate me. No one answered. When I arrived, I sat at the bar in the area designated for disability access, but there were cups and other items taking up the space like last time. As soon as I sat down, the bartender she rushed over to clear them. At least this time she wasn't rude. That area should have been kept clear and accessible in the first place. Not everyone can sit comfortably at a high-top, which is exactly why designated accessible seating needs to remain available and unobstructed. People who need accessible seating should be able to use it without feeling like they are inconveniencing anyone. The bartender also seemed to need more training when it came to basic bar service and managing the space for customers. When my food was ready my to go drink was not made.. the guy who handed me the food said, I should let the bartender know. I replied if I order to go, the drink ticket has been sitting at the bar. Why would I have to tell her anything. It's her job to see a ticket and make the drink.. He shooked his head yes and let her know. I placed a to go order. The drink ticket had been waiting. I used to bartend at a very busy dive bar, so I understand the job and the expectations. I never kept cups sitting all over the bar or allowed my workspace to limit where customers could comfortably sit. I also payed attention to the drink ticket orders. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend sitting at the bar during the day. Hopefully management provides better training and makes sure the accessible seating area is treated with the attention and respect it deserves. When I got home they didn't include the pita chips to eat with what I ordered..

It became clear we needed to exercise restraint as we now understood we would want to save room for each delectable course coming our way. Roasted Brussel Sprouts were next and amazing!
