Not a bad place. It's located off the 202 Loop near the Bass Pro Shops.
I'm a west coast girl so I've never heard of this place before until I saw it on my way to Home Depot that is in the same area. I had asked a friend about it and he swore it had the best breakfast he's ever had. Clearly he's never been to Black Bear Diner!
Went on a Sunday...biiiig mistake. As we were waiting to be seated, my friend and I realized we weren't the following...
a) religious enough (it was Sunday, so I'll cut some slack on that)
b) old enough
c) tacky enough
d) cranky enough
My eyes. OMYEYES! I was blinded by the sequins and dazzled from the home bedazzled shirts. OMYEYES! I swear, everyone was over 60 and complaining about their meals. I was surrounded by senior citizens who bitched and complained then threatened to NOT pay for their meals. Personally, I felt like they were scamming the place. I know customer service is a thankless job, but sometimes customers are way too cheap and shouldn't be eating out.
Breakfast wasn't so bad, but I found it incredibly bland and laden with salt. Within an hour of eating there I was *parched*. Their "sourdough" pancakes didn't remind me of sourdough in the slightest. Their scrambled eggs seemed to have been made from liquid eggs, solidifying my belief that I'm too young for this establishment. The only true highlight were the corn muffins that were brought out while we waiting. YUM.
I felt so cheap and tacky walking through Home Depot after while guzzling 4 bottles of water. Yes, I paid for them. The fluid retention from my salt intake was enough to make me think they had some MSG in their food.
Long review short? If you like salty food and cantankerous seniors, this place is for you.
