| - They went above and beyond!
I've been coming here with my wife for years, and she loved coming here with her family before that. The food is good, generous portions and reasonable prices, very good service and a nice atmosphere. It's a great place to go for breakfast or brunch. They even cook and shred their own corned beef for the hash!
But the other day, they went above and beyond. It was Christmas day, and my wife is pregnant with our second (it's a girl!). I was cooking a big dinner for everyone, and she really wanted creamed spinach. I had everything to make it except the spinach, and all the stores I tried were closed.
Finally I had a light bulb moment, crossed my fingers, and pulled into the Black Bear Diner parking lot. I went to the man up front, explained my situation, and asked if they would be able to sell me a bag of spinach. He helped a couple of other people who were waiting, then went back to the kitchen to see if they had enough to spare
A minute later out he walked, with about a 3-pound bag of spinach in his hand, and said "call it $5?" I gave him a twenty, headed back home, and now I've got more than enough brownie points to last me through the new year!
I'm so grateful to them all for helping me out, what a great thing to do. Last time I went to McDonald's a block away they refused to put a few french fries on my cheeseburger because "we can't do that."
Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next visit there to sit down for a full meal, I'll make sure to ask for the manager and let them know the story. Bon appetite!
