My first experience at Black Bear Diner was okay. My husband and I came on a Sunday morning. Everyone seemed nice. We were seated and our waitress was Trina. She was okay, she didn't seem happy, just okay. She recommended a few things that she liked. We ordered and waited about 10-15 minutes for our food. I had the Juevos Rancheros, which I did not like the taste of the meat. Not the best I've had. My husband had the Chorizo burrito which he says was good. We were eating our food and not even 5 minutes into eating, Trina asked if we were interested in a bear claw or some other dessert. We declined and she gave us our check and told us we could pay at the front. We weren't even half way done with our food yet. She never gave us refills on our drinks, so that was a bit irritating. At check out, you walk to the front before you leave to pay. We were getting ready to pay when another waitress came up to the hostesses and said "who took the tips off my table?" And she was upset. It was awkward. Then she left and the 3 hostesses started talking bad about her. I payed and left. And I left feeling somewhat disappointed because I heard this place was great.
My second visit, we came for my sisters birthday breakfast. There were 9 of us and our waiter was John. John was by far the best waiter I've ever had. He had a great personality. He was funny and kept everyone at the table entertained while still helping out with our orders and anything we needed. He was constantly walking by and always had a funny comment to say. My food this time was great. I had the California Omelet which was delicious. Everyone pretty much enjoyed their food. This visit changed my mind on what I think about Black Bear Diner. Thanks, John!
