    I've been to Black Bear Diner a few times now and somehow keep dragging new people with me every visit . One of my friends who has lived here for years had never been, and after trying it she said she found herself a new favorite spot. That alone deserves some credit. I try something different every time I go, and honestly, I've never been disappointed. The portions are solid, the food comes out hot, and they do have mimosas -- which, if you've read any of my other reviews, you already know is a big deal for me . These sunny-side-up eggs in the picture even made me question my usual scrambled-with-cheese order. They were that pretty. I've also had great servers every single visit. Friendly, attentive, and quick -- even when the place is full. One thing to note: this is not a vegan or vegetarian-friendly restaurant. This is a pork establishment. Even the chicken sausage is wrapped in pork casing, so keep that in mind if you have dietary restrictions. Overall, Black Bear Diner is reliable, hearty, and always hits the spot. Definitely one of those places you can count on for classic comfort food and an easy brunch with friends.

    Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs with a delicious fluffy biscuit
    Rachel W.

    This place gave me faith in Chicken Fried Steak! I have never liked CFS, it's always tough, it's always mostly burnt breading, it's just never good. For some reason, I was craving it here while we were here, and I'm so glad I ordered it! It was fork tender, juicy, and delicious. The biscuits and gravy were also very good. The sweet cream pancakes were fluffy and you could taste the sweet cream in them. We were really happy with our food. Portions were large and food was great. Service was prompt, overall great experience.

    English muffin browned on the griddle
    Vicky S.

    If I could rate with zero stars, I would. Why is it so hard to get a TOASTED English muffin right? If I want it toasted well, the cooks put it on the griddle, even when I specifically ask for it to not be (and the wait staff puts a note in the order). The food is okay otherwise, but after giving this place several chances to properly TOAST bread, no one cares enough to make sure it's done right.

    Service was quick and our server was great. They give military discounts. Great for breakfast.

    ORDER THE ORANGE JUICE, it's fresh squeezed and delicious. Bacon is thick cut, pancakes are big, hash browns were well done. A bear lovers dream. Stuffies and clothes available for purchase. Friendly staff. Large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Bear decor covers the walls. Even on a busy Saturday morning, food came out quick and delicious. We sat at the counter and the stools are a little far from the counter so we had to really lean forward and sit on the edge of our seats so probably not suitable for small children. I wish there were hooks below the counter to hang a handbag. The bathroom was messy, unfortunately...I think someone peed all over the floor and toilet paper was not in the dispensers, loose sitting atop the holder.

    Strawberry Lemonade

    The burger was amazing. The strawberry lemonade was pretty much water with a hint of strawberry. The oreo pie was not good either. Had to chase down the server because they never came to the table.

    Old country log cabin style look with booths and tables and chairs reminds me of a 60's diner. Pictures of BLACK BEARS all over the walls. A jukebox playing with oldies. Donna was my server and she was just a country delight. She had me laughing. The food I had the BIRTHDAY special, RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS PANCAKES Best I've eaten in years. The scrambled eggs too hard, the hash browns over cooked with NO seasoning. I'm not bashing this place, I'm just giving my honest opinions and YES! I let "Donna" my server know about the food. I took pictures this time

    The best and only breakfast spot I'll eat at when visiting Texas. Every time I visit, the service has always been very good. The food is always well prepared and good. You definitely get your money's worth. The restaurant is very casual. When you walk in, you'll find way to buy souvenirs from key chains to plush stuff bears to remember your visit and time in the restaurant. If you ever come across a Black Bear Diner, make sure you stop in and give them a try!

    Very cute decor before you enter and inside! They sell bear merchandise in the front and there is a jukebox playing music. I placed a pick up order for breakfast and ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, a waffle, and cold brew. Food was good, just your typical breakfast. I thought the bear imprint on the waffle was a nice touch. Coffee was good too. Next time I'm in town I will try lunch or dinner.

    Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and broccoli
    Rozele L.

    This place hasn't been there long, my mother had seen it and wanted to go. We did get seated immediately the waitress did come over and asked if we wanted something to drink. Once she brought the drinks back we placed our food order. While waiting on our food the hostesses would drop items on the floor( a orange slice that fell off of a customers plate and some napkins) Other servers just walked past it and nobody picked them up Y'all we had to wait an hour for our food I ordered meatloaf, mashed potatoes and broccoli. Not sure what kind of meatloaf it was all I know it was not good at all, the broccoli was mushy (over cooked) I didn't even try the mashed potatoes my food did not look appealing at all. The waitress was not attentive we had to keep asking her for things ( silverware, plates for the muffins, napkins, refill on a beverage, didn't like the service either.

    Recently visited family in Killeen TX and found a great diner location. That serves breakfast all day for those that like to sleep in. The Black Bear diner in Harker Hight's is in my opinion the best breakfast location in the area. You get your money's worth of food and the service is outstanding. If your ever in the area I recommend giving this place a visit you will not be disappointed!

    Jimmy On Down Today…read morethis ol Chef decided to take a trip to get some breakfast. But not just any breakfast, we were seeking something with an elevated home style food menu, in a dinner like environment. That's what you get at this location. Keep reading. Upon arrival to the Killeen location, I immediately noticed how packed the parking lot was, with many more pulling up as we were. Normally this is where I'd turn around but I was curious to see how long this busy restaurant would seat us. The answer? No time at all. The hostess was warm, funny, and welcoming. She immediately engaged my children and gave them their menus as she led us to our booth. This place was BUSY. I'd expect an extended wait judging by the amount of people, but the team here seemed to not be bothered by the pace. Our waitress quickly surprised me, in the sweetest southern voice, with our drink requests. She was personal and very friendly when taking the children's drink requests. Kids change their minds a thousand times before they land on.....milk lol. No wait, chocolate milk lol. This is a test with any hospitality person, and she passed with flying colors. Extending both grace and patience as the kids finally placed their orders. As we waited for our drinks to arrive, I noticed how well this place was running. Being an open kitchen, you can observe everything from where we were seated. Every one was moving with a purpose. Back of the house was communicating orders, and constantly checking tickets and times. Servers were quickly moving out orders as they came up and keeping everyone's drinks topped off while serving smiles at each interaction. This should be the standard everywhere you go but if you're reading this, you know that's not always the case. Our food arrived rather quickly. Hot and properly prepared. I had the chicken broccoli egg white omelette with sweet peppercorn bacon. Don't knock it til you try it. I didn't think I would like the omelette but it's actually quite delicious. Not a single brown mark on my omelette showed me the cook knows how to control temp. The bacon though is always the star. The sticky sweetness in every bite, followed by a slight aromatic kick of crushed black peppercorn wrapped in the smokiness that is bacon. PERFECT side and app.My only issue was I ordered two sides of sweet peppercorn bacon, and was expecting them to be served as pictured, but because my waitress was on top of her game, she put them in as two sides instead of two appetizers. Saving me a few bucks. I call this excellence in hospitality and serving. If you made it this far you can tell we had an excellent experience on a very busy Saturday morning. Although I prefer to be less crowded places to dine, I absolutely see why this place is packed. Excellent food, excellent location, excellent service. So Jimmy on down and have you some Eggs. You and your family wont be disappointed. Chef J.

From the time we placed our order until the next time we even saw our server, our food had been prepared and had time to get cold. Atmosphere was nice.
