The service was excellent. It's a cool little restaurant in a small town, I passed by after visiting Silver Falls State Park. Additionally I also got a cinnamon roll and it was REALLY GOOD!!

When: Monday Aug. 3rd 9:00 am; Party of 2 Adults…read more The ambiance of this cozy breakfast eatery in Downtown Salem has this modern artsy vibe with vibrant colors. This place probably gets quite busy on the weekends and to maximize spacing, table seating is packed tightly, so if you don't like to snuggle up to a total stranger, than this place might not be for you. The service by our server, Micah, was friendly and efficient. The overall make-up of patrons on this Monday morning, was a good mix of regulars, that the servers knew by name, visitors from nearby hotels and everyday folks with business to do in Downtown. My wife ordered the French Toast sandwich which definitely pass the eye test. I ordered the House made Corned Beef Hash. Both dishes hit the spot for tastiness and overall breakfast satisfaction. If available street parking is available and the wait is less than 15 minutes, than I would recommend this place for you.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Black Bear Diner in Salem!…read more I had the meatloaf, and it practically melted in my mouth. It was tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best meatloaf dinners I've had in a long time. The white cheddar mac and cheese was excellent, but the real surprise was the coleslaw. It was so good that I would seriously consider making the drive back to Salem just to order it again. My wife had the Tri-Tip Dip, and she loved it. The dipping sauce was rich and flavorful without being overly salty, which was a pleasant surprise. She did feel the fries were a little heavy on the salt, and we're actually not big salt eaters, so others may not even notice. Our waitress, Valerie, was amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and helped make an already great meal even better. What really surprised me is that this is a chain diner. The quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience felt far above what I expected. I can honestly say I would travel to Salem just to eat here again. If you haven't been to Black Bear Diner yet, do yourself a favor and give it a try. You will not be disappointed! I would give more stars if I could! What a treat Salem has..

I know Black Bear has enough choices to keep these guys happy so here we go! We get in and the interior has that bearish theme going like all the Black Bear Diners. Yep, that's cute! We get seated and drink orders taken. I decide on the Patty melt, the other girl on the crew gets the fish and chips and another guy gets some sandwich thing, I forgot what it was called. The food took a little while to come out but we weren't in any rush this time, so no biggie. My patty melt was cooked as ordered, medium and the fries were crispy and hot. The rest of the food looked good and no one was complaining, so that's a good sign. We all munched our food down and left happy. Now, back on the road again ... as the song goes ...

I got the french toast with apples and it was not too sweet and there was a great flavor from the fruit. I could tell the bread was baked in house and it was so yummy.

I also got an iced caramel latte and it was nothing special but they gave the right espresso to milk ratio which is an art in itself and i appreciated! I hope to come back next time i'm in Oregon!

We are so glad we did! The ambience was welcoming from the start: airy, cozy, relaxed. The servers were so friendly and quick to get us coffee to start. It was difficult to choose from the many items on the menu. My husband is a connoisseur of Eggs Benedict, and he was delighted with his. I had the caprese omelet. The fresh tomatoes and basil capped off a perfectly cooked omelet, along with a splash of balsamic vinegar. We are not generally big fans of shredded hash browns, as they are often frozen and presented as a greasy lump. Not so at B&M! They were freshly grated FROM A POTATO, crisped beautifully, and well-seasoned. We'll definitely be back!
