I had never heard of the place until saying good bye to my best friend on our way from Seattle to Phoenix last week. After she suggested it for breakfast (we were in a hurry so had to go for quick and easy instead) I seemed to drive by a million along the way through Cali. We saw one right down the road from our Hotel once we made it into Phoenix and mused that we should try it out. Come Saturday morning we were really in need of a good breakfast so off to the Black Bear we went.
The wait wasn't nearly what we are use to (seriously, Seattle area waits can be ungodly for places like Denny's even). We were seated in a large room with people all around eating awesome looking food. After a few scans through the menu we placed our order and waited. It wasn't very long at all when our waitress brings out two HUGE plates filled with food!
I had decided that I might as well be a tough sell (I would have to report back to my friend if I was a fan our not) and go all out and order the Tri tip Scramble with home-fried potatoes and toast. The tips were cooked to perfection! Not chewy or dry, just right! My food was great, I couldn't even hope to finish my plate. I can't remember what exactly my husband ordered but I know he finished his plate and we didn't even begin to feel hungry until past dinner time!
I am sold, I will be a Black Bear fan-girl from here on out!
