I think Black Bear Diner deserves more than the average of a 3 star rating. Based on our first time here for a late breakfast, I give it a solid 4 stars and will plan to come back.
We arrived at about 10:30 on a holiday. There was plenty of parking and seating. We were greeted warmly and got a table right away. The host told us the name of our server and she was two steps behind us ready with menus.
Our server was very helpful in describing their special recipe pancakes and thick bacon. Both sounded yummy. The menu was chock full of options and were informed that we could order anything on the menu. I guess I could have had a burger for breakfast.
Because I'd just eaten a piece of fruit, I wasn't ravenous. I opted for the mini volcano which was an egg on top of a medium and large pancake, 1 piece of bacon and 1 sausage. It was just the right amount of food. I finished all but a couple of bites. Everything was delicious down to the pancake syrup. The pancakes were especially delicious and our wait for food was relatively short.
We were checked on a couple of times which was perfect timing. My only small criticism was that when my coffee arrived it was warm not hot. This was quickly rectified with a refill which brought it to the right temperature.
For me, this is a find. Reasonably priced good food is always a good thing.
