    Little less meatloaf dinner ( BUT PLENTY OF FOOD)
    Gene W.

    While the food tasted OK, you go to Black Bear diners for the portion sizes and the country-sweet service, amply supplied on our visit. Hard to mess up a breakfast. While good in every respect, the prices are creeping up to almost unaffordable ($15 for simple breakfast). The little less meatloaf dinner was only $13 and was plenty filling, especially with the side order of onion rings. Average comfort food, but served with a smile.

    Country fried steak and eggs with red potatoes
    Adam H.

    Food was not good, got the $20 country fried steak combo with my eggs over medium, white toast and red potatoes Eggs were super runny, toast was hard and burnt with barely any butter and potatoes were inedible-- very rubbery in texture. Country friend steak was the only saving grace and that wasn't enough to leave me satisfied with the experience. Waitress was polite but inattentive, came to the table once about 3 minutes after the food was served and then disappeared until she came to drop the check off. When she did, she said nothing, just placed it on the table and walked away wordlessly. This was my second time at a Black Bear Diner and might be my last, I really enjoyed the first experience I had at a different location so I was looking forward to this one and drove 45 minutes from La Center to get here. Very disappointing experience, would not recommend this location.

    Black Bear is a great restaurant for groups because the menu will have something for everyone! My family and I shared items so that we could sample a lot. Everything was delicious and a large enough portion to share!

    We had breakfast here. Our wait staff was the best. Kristy popped in and filled our coffee and made sure we had everything we needed. Black Bear also a ponderes breakfast for all of us during teacher apreciarían week. Thanks We will be back

    Volcano
    Matthew W.

    The Volcano was amazing. It came with sausage, thick bacon, eggs, and sweet cream pancakes. Also had a side of grits. After that I got a berry cobbler which was kind of disappointing. The crust wasn't really crispy and some of the fruit wasn't really hot inside some of it was still cold. The service was great. The place gave an outdoorsy feel to the restaurant with a lot of bears and bear puns which I really love.

    Strawberry Sweet Cream Pancakes are the best!!!
    Leana V.

    We come here weekly for our "day off lunch". Kamile was our server a few times, she always remembers us and is so kind. It feels like family when we're here and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. The food is always on point and if anything ever falls through, the staff here is ready to jump and make it better. My coffee lives here

    Taco Salad
    Elisha J.

    So this was a great place for what they do. Lots of open space, no squished together tables. People were very friendly and service was quick. Their menus are in newspapers which is fun, and there is cute bear decor. I ordered the taco salad, which was enormous in size, fresh veg, lots of cheese, and the crispy tortilla shell was fried perfectly. My only gripe was I needed more salsa, lots and lots, the size of the salad needs more than a tiny ramekin. This isn't special food, it is classic diner food done exceptionally well, and simply. No fancy spices, no extra flavors, but for this type of cuisine it was stellar.

    Don't Call It a Cuban. Sincerely, a Cuban…read more There is a sacred alchemy to a real Sándwich Cubano. It requires crisp, lard-baked Cuban bread pressed paper-thin a la plancha until the crust crackles. It requires yellow mustard to cut the fat, sharp pickles for acid, and molten Swiss cheese acting as the crucial binding agent between roast pork and ham. It is a precise, beautiful piece of culinary history. What was served to me here is an absolute crime against my heritage. Look at this plate: soft, pillow-like Hawaiian rolls stuffed with shredded pork, leafy greens, and a thin vinaigrette. It hasn't seen the heat of a press in its entire existence. There is no mustard, no pickles, no ham, and not a single drop of melted Swiss cheese binding anything together. This is not a Cuban sandwich. It is a pulled pork slider on a dinner roll. And it would have been a pretty decent one on that merit. However, slapping the name "Cuban" on a Southern pulled pork slider because someone threw pulled pork on a bun is lazy, dishonest, and insulting to the culture it claims to represent. Call it what it actually is on the menu, you are ruining what some people will think is an actual Cuban. Or... maybe hire a Cuban and learn how to make the real thing. A four paragraph AI response? Look. There is a stool in Havana, or Tampa, or a fluorescent-lit ventanita in Hialeah at two in the morning, where a man who has done this ten thousand times takes bread baked with lard that morning, lays it open, and builds something with no wasted motion. Mustard. Pickle. Ham. Pork. Swiss. He puts it under a press that has been hot since 1961 and he leans on it. The crust goes to glass. The cheese surrenders. You get it in butcher paper and you eat it standing up, maybe with a few fried ripe plantains (not kettle chips) and you don't talk for ninety seconds. That sandwich is not a concept. It is not an interpretation. It is not an exploration of a broader range of anything. It is years of exile, hunger, cigar smoke, and stubborn people refusing to forget what home tasted like, compressed under a hot iron into something you can hold in one hand. What you served me is a pulled pork slider with fruit on it. And look -- I ate it. For what it was, it was good. Smoked pork, mango, mint, pickled onion, a soft milk bun: that's a nice sandwich on a summer afternoon and I don't begrudge anybody a nice sandwich. But you didn't have the nerve to sell it on its own merits. You reached across an ocean, took a word that people bled for, and stapled it to the front for the traffic. Call it Mojo Pulled Pork. Call it Caribbean Gold. Call it anything true. The sandwich is alright it's a 6.25. It's the word from a culture that's stolen. A real Cuban mixto would beat down this sandwich with a 1st bite knockout.
