    My wife and I traveled to Washington, UT to attend the wedding of a close friend. The Black Bear Diner was across from our hotel so we decided to give this location to try. Ambiance is typical for the Black Bear Dinner, cute and fun for kids. I ordered the turkey dinner and my wife ordered the fish and chips. This chain claims to make much of their food from scratch but that doesn't seem to be the case (in my estimation). My soup had no bacon, a few potatoes and very little taste. The cornbread was sweet, but hot and moist. Sliced turkey was moist but very salty. The gravy atop it was jarred and did nothing to hide the turkey's excessive saltiness. It came with mac and cheese that was mostly milk and flour, with very little cheese. The onion rings were good and crisp. My wife's fish was moist if a tad greasy. She requested that her fries be extra crisp. What she got were soft, unseasoned fries that were very unappealing. The side of coleslaw was actually crisp and fresh, quite good. Overall the food was substandard. HOWEVER, the service was Outstanding! Our waitress, Dayna, seemed to be the only person waiting tables during the dinner rush. She patiently took our order, kept our glasses full and got us everything we requested. She worked hard to give a good experience and I hope they appreciate her efforts. We have now tried several locations of this Diner. The locations in Riverton and Sandy were very good. This one was not. We would not recommend this location.

    We had our whole team of girls here for a team dinner. Andy was our server and he was great!! All the girls loved him and he should definitely get some recognition!!

    We arrived at Black Bear for a dinner meeting and they were pretty slammed. Still, Nancy was so very accommodating, engaging and kind. We were seated and even while our server had a number of large parties, she made us feel like we were her only guests. The Bigfoot Chicken Fried Steak was something. Great sized portion, with two large sides and couldn't finish it all. On top of that were some of the biggest rolls that made for the full carb overload. These things were massive and amazing. A great night. Nancy and Tayler bought it to a whole different level with food that was prepared well and very sizable portions at a very solid and affordable price.

    We had our whole girls soccer team come here for a team dinner. Andy was our server and he was great!! All the girls loved him and he was hilarious!! He should definitely be recognized.

    Sydney is the goat of serving. Seriously, so nice and courteous. Exceptional service and so polite.

    They hide bacon in the ranch dressing without telling you here. Perfect way to ruin your night if your body doesn't do pig meat.

    This place is amazing! I found this place on Yelp when I was looking for a dinner option for us…read moreafter soaking at Zion Canyon. This place is literally right across the street! Plenty of parking too, though it's not very well lit. We arrived pretty close to their posted closing time, but they were still welcoming everyone in and happily taking orders. The place was packed! The staff is super friendly! We ordered a carnivore pizza for the 3 of us to share and we also got some of their ranch for dipping. My oldest got a refillable soda, my youngest tried one of their Italian sodas and I enjoyed a nonalcoholic Athletic Brewing beer! We were also able to dine in as well! Love the decor. They have art displayed and also for sale! The pizza was perfect, and dipped in the ranch...wow. Some of the best we've ever had! I would not hesitate to visit this place again! Highly recommend!

Stacey was very condescending and unfriendly,…read morethey charged me extra for brown sugar (why???), charged extra for oat milk (completely outdated practice), my latte was watery even with 3 SHOTS and came tasting like cinnamon Below is my original review but bc of employees like Stacey that wants to be sassy, I no longer recommend this place Just wow! Everything is amazing here! The food, the coffee, the views, the decoration! What a pleasant and amazing place Their prices are also half of Bonrue, which I went yesterday Lovely surprise!

    45+ Minutes in 100° Heat, Passed Over Repeatedly, Then Offered a High-Top for a Toddler…read more Our experience at George's today was so bizarre, frustrating, and poorly handled that I am still trying to understand how a restaurant could treat a family this way. We arrived as a family of three--two adults and our toddler--and were told the wait would be approximately 15-20 minutes. We were added to the waitlist and waited outside in nearly 100-degree heat. While we waited, several parties arrived AFTER us. We know this with certainty because we watched them walk in, add their names to the list, come back outside, and even chatted with some of them while we all waited. Then, one by one, those parties were called inside and seated before us. After the last of them was seated, I finally went inside and asked the front-of-house employee in the pink shirt whether we were even still on the list. She assured me we were and said we were "next." We then waited approximately another 10 minutes. By the time someone finally came for us, our supposed 15-20 minute wait had become 45-46 minutes. And somehow, that wasn't even the most baffling part. We were walked through the restaurant, past multiple empty, standard-height tables, and taken down toward the bar. We passed yet another regular four-seat table there. And then we were offered a high-top table. For two adults and a TODDLER. Our toddler had physically walked into the restaurant with us when we originally put our names on the list. There was never any ambiguity that we had a small child with us. No booster or appropriate toddler seating was offered at this high-top, either. We obviously declined. Expecting a toddler to safely sit at a high-top is not merely impractical--it creates a completely unnecessary fall and safety risk. We were then informed that if we wanted a normal table, we would need to wait another 10-15 minutes. At that point, I was genuinely stunned. We had already waited more than twice the time we were quoted. We had watched parties who arrived after us get seated ahead of us. None of those parties, to our knowledge, were forced to choose between an inappropriate high-top and an additional wait. And we could literally see empty standard tables. When we specifically asked about the empty four-person table near the bar, we were told we couldn't sit there because that server was having a very busy day and it would be another 15-20 minutes before she could take us. So let me understand this: your restaurant allowed a family with a toddler to wait outside in extreme heat for more than 45 minutes, repeatedly seated later-arriving parties ahead of them, finally brought them inside only to offer seating obviously unsuitable for a small child, and then--while empty standard tables were plainly visible--essentially told them to go wait some more? At what point does someone on staff recognize that something has gone badly wrong and attempt to fix it? There was no meaningful apology. No sense of urgency. No empathy. No attempt to problem-solve. No acknowledgment that the original 15-20 minute estimate had turned into 45+ minutes while other guests were seated ahead of us. What makes this experience even more uncomfortable is that we are a mixed-race couple. I cannot say why we were treated differently, and I am not going to make an accusation I cannot prove. But after watching multiple parties who arrived after us be seated before us, only to then be offered uniquely inappropriate seating for our family, I am left questioning why our family was treated differently. Was there some legitimate explanation that was never communicated to us? Was this simply extraordinary incompetence and poor management of the waitlist? Or was there another reason? I genuinely don't know. But the fact that your staff's handling of the situation left us even having to ask that question should concern management. We were patient. We were polite. We waited far longer than we were told we would. We stood outside with our toddler in nearly 100-degree weather and gave your staff every opportunity to make the situation right. Instead, we were met with indifference and a level of front-of-house incompetence that was astonishing. Restaurants get busy. Servers get overwhelmed. Wait estimates can be wrong. None of that explains why multiple parties arriving after us were seated first, why no one noticed or corrected it, why a family visibly accompanied by a toddler was offered a high-top, or why--after more than 45 minutes--no one seemed remotely interested in finding a reasonable solution. We ultimately didn't need special treatment. We expected competent treatment. We didn't receive it. Management should seriously review how the waitlist was handled today and speak with the front-of-house staff involved, because this was one of the most poorly managed and deeply uncomfortable restaurant experiences our family has had.
