    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.

    Hot coffee

    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

    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!

    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

It was close to the office and not very busy at 10 o'clock. When you come in you basically go up to the counter and order and then they bring it to your table. There is a little sort of patio type enclosed area, must be in addition they added. Plenty of spaces to sit. The decor is mainly honeybees and they seem to promote that quite a bit. They have lots of coffee options which was great. And a pretty extensive menu. We all ordered something different. I had two pancakes and besides the maple syrup taste they were very bland. I actually had to use my knife to cut them as the texture was just really off for me. My iced mocha with honey was actually really good so I liked that. Feedback from coworkers were that we would not go there again because there are better options. One had a Reuben with fries that looked fabulous and she really enjoyed it. Two of them had omelettes and kept adding salt. They both commented how nothing on the plate had flavor. One had avocado toast that was absolutely beautiful and she liked that. And the other had some type of breakfast sandwich and she said she would not get that again. We tried it and it seems to do well just not for us. Not for me.

I got the Pendleton burger, it was as good as I remember, I got tons of fries along with it which was great. It was around 16 dollars, but it's a 2 dollar up charge for fries......yes, they charge you extra for fries....at a burger place...they default to potato chips (cheaper for them). I don't care what your "reasoning" is, charging extra for fries at a burger place is pathetic. In terms of service, can't comment too much since I got takeout, but the women there seemed nice and the place was fairly clean, I couldn't make out any dirty areas. They have a few tables outside, on a nice summer day it would be a nice place for lunch. Parking. There's no real parking for this areas since it's in busy street, so you'll have to park a block or two away most of the time, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's a good place and if I happen to find myself in the area, wanting a burger, I don't see why I wouldn't go there again.

I recommend sitting closer to the stage in case you feel like dancing, but there's lots to do regardless to pool table areas comfortable restaurant booths if that's all you're interested in, but after the Restaurant closes the bar and entertainment areas are open during the day. Everything is available generally it's very impressive. There wasn't a dirty spot in the entire place.
