    Man I really hate giving low stars! However this seemed like it would be the one for this. Sadly we were very let down this late morning. We got there about 11 and were seated within 15 min which was great! However the service lacked big time. Our server didn't check up on us throughout the meal, or we would have addressed these issues while there. Our meals were brought out one at a time, multiple minutes in between each time. And we were very disappointed with the food. I had ordered the California Eggs Benedict that came out very last, and what not done well. 1. The bacon was burnt and I couldn't cut through it(same with my sons kids meal, he wouldn't even eat it) 2 the eggs were cooked well. Which on that dish they should be runny. 3. Most of the hash was burnt as well. My husband got the grizz and said it was alright. He liked his eggs, we split our dishes and shared. However we probably shouldn't have done that because now we don't know whose dish made us sick or not. The place seems to be under new management because it just isn't doing to good. Lots of employees running around like they didn't know what to do. And ya we really didn't like the experience we had. We would like management to respond back so we can fix this. Thank you.

    Bear's Choice - Sweet Cream Waffle, scrambled egg, link sausage
    Si L.

    I went in on a Wednesday evening, and there weren't a lot of people. I got the Bear's Choice with sweet cream waffle, eggs, and sausage. I don't know if it's because I ordered takeout, so the food was not fresh and toasty anymore, but everything tasted only average. The waffle got a paw print on it, which was really cute, but I didn't love the texture and would probably try their pancakes or toasts next time. Also a bit sad that they didn't provide any ketchup for the eggs. Lots of people say the portions here are huge, but this entree I got also cost $10.99 so I think the portion was only reasonable considering the price. I didn't have that great of an experience this time, but I have heard good things from others, so I might still give it a chance later.

    Waffle

    The restaurant was clean, service was great considering they were busy. The food was not great, I ordered chicken and waffles, my waffle was overdone. My husband ordered the Denver omelet, the breakfast potatoes were bland/unseasoned. I also ordered a side of ranch with my food and didn't know there was bacon inside and took a taste. I have a pork allergy so ultimately I didn't finish my food (most of us didn't). My son ordered the bacon Mac n cheese he had no complaints and said it was delicious. We also ordered the chicken tenders and fries, the fries were dark but not crispy so the oil might have needed to be changed. Ove

    So, I've been to Black Bear diner before in San Diego, but this is our first time in Orem, Utah. I must say there's a consistent feel in the restaurants as you try different around the country, as I have. Leah staff to take care of you fish kitchen runs well, this is a Sunday morning and they got us in no problem and they're turning tables pretty regularly. Although we're just passing through, I hope to come back someday to this location because they gotta figured it out.

    We didn't have to wait too long to be seated. The service was pretty quick. The portion sizes here are always big and filling. I love how they added powder sugar on top of the pancakes. The bacon was thick and crisp.

    Rueben and Fish and chips
    Curtis R.

    Eaten here twice in the last month and each time was good. First time was clam chowder and fish and chips that had flaky Cod that was not greasy. The soup was ok, clams we're not chewy so cooked at the right temperature, could be creamier but then again this is not New England!. Now I prefer my Cod to be larger pieces so not sure if this is homemade or from a box. Second time I had the Rueben that was better than most places in the area. Sizable sandwich with plenty of kraut and cheese, fries were crisp. Staff both times were friendly and not bad at all for a chain!

    $9.99 for Two eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 French toast. Tough to beat in this economy.
    Kurt J.

    I'm torn between four and five stars on this place. The bacon is decent thickness and not like Denny's. It's got a good diner vibe and serves breakfast all day. In a lot of ways it's a kin to Callie's. The service is quick and it's a good place to bring a friend to breakfast. It beats Village Inn and Dennys in every respect. Skip IHOP and go here. Decent breakfast for around $10 right now...see my pic.

    Chicken avocado club
    Victoria A.

    Food is decent for a diner. It's my go to place when I'm craving diner vibes, but it's definitely not the cleanest restaurant. And by not the cleanest I mean it feels as little dirty when we go to sit down. My partner got the chicken strips and they were good for the price. I got the chicken avocado club and it was good. I'll probably try something new next time we go. Service was okay, it was Easter Sunday so they were a bit busy. Coffee was decent.

    Stuffed Blackberry French Toast* (1050 cals.) Cut open to see the inside.
    Brian Y.

    First time at a Black Bear Diner and I thought it was splendid. The ambience is casual, but fun. Lots of bear stuff The food definitely has the "wow" factor when it comes out. Large portions especially for the price. Biscuits rivaling the size of your face. Some people thought the stuffed blackberry french toast was too sweet, but I enjoyed it. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful at all times. The service was good and speed was good given the large party I came with. I'll be back to try another location sometime!

    Okay, The Block might be my new favorite restaurant in Provo. Every single course delivered…read more We started with honey butter and rolls (dangerous in the best way), then moved to the ricotta and focaccia; perfectly balanced and honestly could've stopped there and been happy. But then came the steak, which was flat-out the best I've had in years. No notes. Here's the thing though, I'm not a gnocchi person. Never have been. Our server talked me into it anyway, and I'm genuinely grateful. It's a short rib and stew situation with gnocchi that somehow hits every note perfectly. Total convert now. And the s'mores pie to close out the night? Simply perfect. Don't skip it. The service was great too, our server clearly knew the menu inside and out and steered us exactly right.

    It was first time trying Block and overall it was a neutral experience. I was with a bigger party…read moreand our table was well attended to. However, we did have one drink server where we had some issues with, but our main waitress was lovely. For starters, our table shared the baked ricotta, balsamic glazed brussel sprouts, and bread rolls with honey and butter. The brussel sprouts were good, but the bread rolls were my favorite! They were so incredibly soft and pillowy. They honestly didn't even need the bread and butter! I was most excited for the baked ricotta, but unfortunately it was a disappointment for me. Ricotta is a very mild cheese to begin with, but I tasted absolutely zero flavor from it and it was mostly just adding a textural element to the bread. The fig walnut guanciale jam was overpoweringly sweet and the guanciale was also nonexistent. Overall, what I expected to be a flavorful combination, fell pretty flat and bland for me. Onto the main, I got to try the Block burger and the house made gnocchi. The burger was a standard burger, nothing too crazy. I was surprised the patty was actually moist because it was cooked well done. The same jam from the baked ricotta was used, so wasn't a big fan of it because again the overwhelmingly sweet didn't do much to elevate the burger. I also missed any flavor from the truffle cheese sauce. So it was a pretty average burger. My gnocchi definitely tasted better than it looked. Another friend also got the same dish and it looked like they just split our portions in half and served it on two separate plates. In general, I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The braised short rib was very tender, but the whole plate sat in a pool of salty sauce. I couldn't really make out any other flavors. The scoop of crème fraiche tasted exactly like sour cream and was not the consistency that I expected. The gnocchi's were made well, but I prefer mine a little firmer. However, this is complete personal preference. Overall, service was good, but food fell severely short of what I expected. I was so excited for all of these elevated flavors and ingredients, but, sadly, none of them came through.

I really tried to like this place...but I have to be honest…read more Let's start with the good--the bbq vibe was strong (country music, chalkboards with drawings, bbq smell wafting thru the air). Now for the not-so-good. We usually call ahead because we have a few family members with food allergies. We called ahead and everything sounded kopacetic. We arrived and ordered our food. One member of our 6 person party ate a couple of fries (which she asked about ahead of time due to her allergies) and she noticed something different about the fries. We asked one of the workers if they put something on the fries because they were crispy on the outside. The worker said "I don't think so." We asked if he could check to be sure so he went to ask. He came back and said "it's just crispy coating." So again we asked "can you tell us what is in the crispy coating because we are trying to avoid an allergic reaction." He replied "it's just crispy coating I don't know what's in it." So we asked "is there anyway you can find out what's in the crispy coating?" He replied "there is definitely a way to find out." He goes to the back...again. When he returns he says, "we fry the fries in a fryer with our chicken tenders. I would suggest not eating the fries." His suggestion is well-taken but we still don't know what's in the 'crispy coating.' When we were ordering, one member in my group asked for the two meat plate with brisket and pork ribs. The menu says "pork ribs." The worker said "We don't have pork ribs. We have ribs." So ribs it was. Giving a little room for grace, he was a young man who seemed to be new. BUT if you are at the cash register taking orders, you really should know what's on your menu. As for the food, it was disappointing. Portions were small. For the two meat plate with brisket and sausage, I was given one piece of brisket and a small hot link. To be fair, the menu says "8 oz" for the two meat plate so you kind of know what you're getting. When the order comes out, it looks very small. The brisket was a little on the dry side. The hot link was tasty but small. Buyer beware. TLDR; not coming back

    Food: 4/5 Dessert (Bonus!): 4/5…read moreService: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is going to be a long one, apologies in advance. For food, the calmari frita it was called but it was squid, some kind of white fish, shrimp along with fried, thinly sliced red onion, bell pepper and jalapeño. GET THIS, one of the best things of the night! When you do get it, make sure you get bites of the chopped veggie mixture that's buried under all the fried goodness, thank me later. Main course, we got the Parillada de Buenos Aires, this is where the issues start, our waiter said we were able to sub out a couple of the items on platter as tripe and sweetbreads (the glands of a veal if you weren't aware) are not things we enjoy. So we swapped them out for a chicken milenesa and a grilled chicken breast. It also came with 1 each of the sides that were pretty basic, and honestly lacked flavor in comparison (rice, potato salad, house salad, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies). Then the meats it comes with, a half chicken, a 12 oz skirt steak, 4 short ribs, some other grilled cut of meat (menu doesn't specify what kind) and a variety of sausages. The waiter, through super nice, totally messed up the substitutions. He brought them out but from the time ordered to the time we ate was about an hour, and for the correct food to come out took even longer. The food itself was pretty good, meats had great flavor and the milenesa when it came out was hot and juicy. The meats didn't need any dipping sauce because they were that well seasoned. Dessert we had the lemon "cheesecake" which was just a lemon cake with a cream cheese type frosting, not at all what you think of with a cheesecake.
