I would give this place 6 stars if I could. We first tried the Black Bear Diner chain this summer when vacationing in Boise, ID. We noticed there was a Black Bear here in Phoenix and decided to give it a try. We were impressed all around. The atmosphere is great with good decor for families. The food is fantastic. I had the Grizz which had large portions and my family dabbled in pancakes and French toast. Zero complaints around the table. Their breakfast meats.. sausage, bacon and ham were all incredible. Sometimes the meats are a make or break side for breakfast places, but Black Bear has perfected them. This breakfast experience was probably the best service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Alexander The Great was my server and he was incredible with a huge smile and beyond perfect service. Thank you so much Black Bear. You have earned a loyal customer!
