I was contacted by management for Black Bear Diner. He was genuine, and kind and very apologetic…read more We had a nice conversation; I explained what happened and he asked if we would consider coming in and giving them a second opportunity. I told him that we will try it. I am appreciative that they took the time to reach out to me. A lot of places will not do that.

Last time I had Black Bear I was in Colorado Springs. I was surprised they opened up a location in…read moreIllinois. The waitress we had was an absolute Angel, she was attentive and we didn't have to flag her down because she always made sure to give us refills, napkins, straws without asking. I think great service made the experience a good one. We ordered the Bear breakfast combo and picked two scrambled eggs, steak and cinnamon roll French toast. My husband got coffee and water and I got the freshly squeezed orange juice and water. The eggs were overdone and cold and the steak was a bit hard. They had a trio of bear sauces and my favorite was the chipotle bear sauce. The experience was great but I think the things I mentioned can improve.

That was after waiting over 20 mins to give our order and then having to ask three times for our ordered drinks. We were there two weeks ago and had the same problem. However, we decided to give them another try. Not sure we will be back.

Stopped in for lunch before taking the virtual golf bat for a spin…read more The nice thing is the fact that you can get a half sandwich. Or as my hubby got a soup cup, half sandwich and a small salad. Kiddo got the burger that had mozzarella sticks on it. Wasn't too shabby. Fries came out cold. Told the waitress and within minutes we had fresh out of the fryer ones. So no points off for that. Not a bad selection of beers on tap. However no Miller Lite,Yuengling regular or Michelob Ultra. But all were available in bottles so it was all good. The golf simulators are pretty fun !! Back room is a bit chilly and when it's cold out I'd suggest a hoodie to golf in. Kinda tight quarters but had plenty of room for three of us and our bags. Only two bats so reservations are a must. We paid 100.00 for three of us for 2 hours. A little hidden gem in Morris. Good food and stay for the golfing. I will definitely come back.

"Where do the locals eat?" is something I typically ask when I'm in uncharted waters. "The…read moreHideout" is aptly named because it's hidden behind the façade of an American Legion Post and flies beneath the radar of folks from out-of-town. But the public is welcome, and it's high time to share this local treasure on Yelp! Oh, this joint is nuttin' fancy. The Post decided to increase its visibility by putting a small sign on the outside of the building. Period. There is a large front room with a bar, and a few steps up is a spacious meeting hall suitable for groups and private parties. Gaming is between the two rooms. The décor (what décor?) is plain-plain but the vibe is friendly and festive. The recently-expanded menu features diner fare and pub grub with a smattering of Mexican and Cajun items. We dined with a group of friends and passed around a few apps. The crawfish soup earned thumbs-up, ditto the colossal batter-dipped onion rings and piquant fried pickles. I had a BBQ brisket wrap; it was bursting with possibly more than 8 oz. of tender and juicy smoked brisket. A red smoke ring was visible and the sauce was just right. My Missus said her burger, served on a rich brioche bun, was exceptional. Portions are huge and the down-to-earth prices include one side. There are several sides to pick from. I had the tangy but overdressed coleslaw. There are two pasta entrées on the menu - "Cajun" and "Alfredo." The "Cajun" turned out to be Alfredo pasta topped with diced tomatoes. Apart from that one dud, which was sent back to the kitchen, the food, service and value exceeded our expectations. Of note, dessert and coffee are not served here (but there's a Dunkin nearby). We gotta return for a Friday fish fry.

A couple kinds of French toast. Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, country fried steak, bacon,ham, corned beef hash, lots of potato casseroles, waffles, two kids of French toast...it just goes on and on. And then you have a full salad area with fresh fruit !! Oh and did I mention an entire buffet of pastries? Donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes, muffins. It just kept going !!! Everything was fresh and replenished and delicious. The only thing I'd pass on was the Bloody Mary bar. Not a lot of stuffs. Cold chicken nuggets, bacon, green olives, some sad pickle spears, lemon wedges, celery, kielbasa, that was pretty much it. Would Have like to have seen cheese cubes or maybe some shrimp. But it was not bad, just nothing to write home about. All in all for 20.00 a person for food (I don't remember what the bloody bar was) it was a good deal. And they do it daily, not just on the weekends!!!
