Black Bear I think has stayed pretty true to the diner experience. Prices are very reasonable, so it's a you get what you paid for experience. Our server was very kind, but service was a tiny bit slow for a half empty restaurant. I would say overall food is bland, but nothing a little sauce or seasoning can't fix. Fries are soft, not crispy how I like them, but the chicken tenders were very crispy. The biscuits and gravy were bland, but they were some of the biggest and softest biscuits I've ever tried. The whole vibe and decor of the place feels and looks cozy. It's very family friendly and I would recommend trying it.

A relative who lived in the area suggested this restaurant and we were so glad she did. The servers were so accommodating. Our group was huge and we sat the boys together inside while the adults were seated outside. There wasn't one complaint from the staff. They took our orders, split our checks. Took our boys order inside and came outside to let the parents pay. This was amazing service if this was a restaurant in LA they wouldn't even allow it. Now let's talk about the food. It was remarkable. Everyone loved what they ate. I wanted to try something different so I had what I think they called the Southwest Benedict. It was 2 sopes with chorizo tomato cheese avocado an egg and onion. It was delicious! I had cafe de olla and it was so yummy. Lastly on our way out, they had a cafe inside where you could walk up and order coffee and pastries. This is such a great idea! I decided to order some pasties to go. The pricing is very reasonable. All in all, I highly recommended this restaurant!

I ate here after a friend gave it a rave review. So, I had high expectations. Despite my high…read moreexpectations, my experience EXCEEDED my expectations by a good margin. The restaurant was well decorated. Each booth and individual bar seats had coat hooks. I think that is a nice touch. The restaurant is clean, including the restroom (I can only comment on the male restroom). The server was great - very friendly and very helpful in deciding what to order. My daughter was craving biscuits and ordered one. While I am not a connoisseur of biscuits, I will say it is the best I have ever had. The quality of the food was first rate - taste, presentation, and serving size for the price. I will definitely be back.

The kitchen deserves better service TRU Religion has the…read morekind of food that makes you want to come back despite yourself, which is the only explanation for why I keep returning even when the front of house continues to test my patience. We came on a weekday morning, no waiting list needed, and were seated immediately. Promising start. Then we waited ten minutes for anyone to acknowledge us, in a restaurant that was not crowded and appeared to be well staffed. This is not a one time observation. The gap between being seated and actually being served has been a recurring theme across multiple visits, and at some point a pattern stops being a coincidence and starts being a logistics problem that needs fixing. When the food finally arrived it reminded me exactly why I keep giving this place another chance. The crepes with berries and mascarpone were delicate and well executed, though the kitchen could afford to be more generous with both the berry sauce and the mascarpone. The portion is on the modest side, which worked fine for me personally but may leave hungrier diners wanting more. The traditional omelet was the star of the visit, specifically the jalapeño wrapped in bacon that comes with it. It was exceptional and the kind of detail that shows real kitchen creativity. My only complaint is that there is only one. There should be at least two. The cinnamon roll is enormous, which is its own form of commitment, but the dough ran a little dry this visit compared to previous experiences. An off day perhaps, but worth noting. Three stars, and every one of them belongs to the kitchen. Sort out the service flow and this place jumps immediately.

We were at a doctor's appointment in Provo so let's see what I have on my Provo list to try!…read more I love a good bakery- at least to check out for future needs. Hubby found this in Yelp. He loves a good sweet roll/ cinnamon roll. It was a Friday afternoon. The place was empty. Guess we missed the lunch crowd? I walked in and saw all the sweet rolls in 4 flavors and different types of bread rolls. Looks like they sold some loaves of bread too and some cookies and desserts. They also had soups and sandwiches. I was so happy to find this place! We were even given a free cookie since we told her it was our 1st time! We told home a 4 pack of sweet rolls. We picked the one with 2 blueberry and 2 raspberry. It was so yummy! Heated us a lil bit in the microwave- they were very good! I Wish it was closer to home! But every time I'm in Orem, I will not try to stop here too (it's not too far from University Mall). **Extra half star since they give a Military Discount.

My friends were visiting from the Bay Area, so we decided to try Communal for brunch today…read more The ambiance was intimate and rustic with a touch of sophistication. We ordered breakfast burrito, mochi pancake, egg Benedict and a green salad with grilled chicken. I had the salad, and it was absolutely delicious! The grilled chicken was moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The fresh locally grown vegetables and pear made the salad even more enjoyable. I genuinely loved every bite! Coming from the Bay area, exploring the food scene in UT hasn't always lived up to my expectations. But I can honestly say Communal delivered the quality and flavors I have been missing! I highly recommend this restaurant. It is definitely worth a visit.

We found Communal and the reviews were great, but honestly, **the customer service was even better!** We had our two dogs with us, so I called in a takeout order and Angelo was SO kind and helpful. I always feel like a phone call is the first impression of a place, and he immediately gave us such a good vibe. When we came in, they were clearly slammed with only Angelo and another sweet girl working, but you never would've known it from his service. I'd honestly come back for the service alone! Also, my boyfriend LOVED the French dip steak sandwich, and the sourdough is a must in my opinion :)

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.

This is an update now that they have added the breakfast option. We came in on a Tuesday for…read morebreakfast and coffee. They are sorting out the issues, but it's obvious it will be an excellent option. They have fresh pastries and a solid breakfast menu. The service was excellent, and my "standard" breakfast of sausage, eggs, roasted tomato (ta mah toh), and potatoes were both huge and delicious. I bring up the phonetic sounding of the tomato because it very much brings to mind a breakfast place in England or Ireland. The latte and proper macchiato were excellent too. I expect this to be a regular thing.

Hands down the best all you can eat breakfast in Provo! Adding cream and berries is always worth it!read more

No. What I got was good, Chicken Marsala, but everyone else's was meh. My oldest son got "bottomless pancakes", which was worth the cost but the +$3 for fruit was only good on the FIRST PLATE... the Kids Pancakes was cheaper, came with fruit and plenty enough for 5-10 year old kids. They were out of fries but wanted to charge my wife extra for asking if I can get "Sweet Potato Fries" in place of Fries - we opted for the "free" cole slaw option and it was abysmal. Housemade Pie was pure sugar, little flavor. Not worth it. Just a bunch of high school/college kids so the service was lackluster.
