Finally visited Black bear diner, one of the very few sit down restaurants in Laveen. Our party of 4 visited around 10am on a weekday and had to wait a few minutes to be seated because there was no hostess. There were actually 3 groups waiting to be seated and with lots of empty tables it didn't make for a great first impression but fear not, the food is great! Our waitress was lovely, I don't recall her name but she was attentive, able to answer questions about the menu items and was available whenever we needed anything, very personable overall. The service was great and the food was also great! Big portions of everything especially the pancakes and omelettes. I will say, they did not cook my eggs scrambled soft (they were dry and overcooked to my liking) but hey, everything else was delicious. Definitely will be back again. Our group really enjoyed it. P.S Not also that if you're watching your diet you can substitute tomatoes or fruit side instead of potatoes, always helpful.
