This place is amazing. Small town dinner feel for being a chain. Portions are massive and the price is great. Great flavor with allot of detail in every dish. Servers are very friendly and fast. This is the second location I've eaten at and it has been great every time.
Food was delicious. Very large portions but I feel there are very under staffed but so are many places so I won't hold that against them. The biggest complaint I have is it was way to hot in there. Almost as if the AC isn't working my guess it's about 80 degrees in there. During the summer I hope for the cooling relief of inside especially in a restaurant. If not for that then 4 stars all day.
My husband and I visited for dinner 6/14. Juanita was our waitress, and she was so good. She just made us feel welcome. The food was delicious. My hubby had the chili cheese burger and I had the pot roast. The pot roast is huge so I took half of it home, so I could try the bread pudding. The bread pudding was an absolute unit. It would be good just for a coffee date on its own. The only other time we have eaten at a black bear diner was in California, and we are pleased that we have one in Fayetteville now. It's good diner food, and they really make you feel like family. However, they did play Deep in heart of Texas on the overhead music, which is sacrilege in Fayetteville Arkansas home of the Razorbacks. But since they are from California, I'll give them a pass.Tldr: food was big portions of yummy diner food at a reasonable price, and the staff are excellent. WPS
Great food! We have been 3 times now. First 2 times everything was great but unfortunately the last time our server was not so great, buttttt at the cash register we were compensated for the bad server. Definitely would recommend and we will be going back. Oh and the restaurant is so eye appealing on the inside with all the cute Bears all over everything even the menu has some awesome bear stuff on it.
Always good food and great service!
Took mom for a birthday lunch because she was craving a chicken fried steak. She ordered the paw size which is a smaller portion and so did sister. They said it was delicious. I got brave and ordered a Chicken Fried steak Benedict. Very interesting meal served with Red Potatoes and cheesy bacon grits. Absolutely no complaints on that. Wife had Cobb Club salad with a side of buffalo sauce. (Something like that). All the food was fantastic, except dads. Not sure what possessed him to order what he did but it didn't go well for him. Very dry and cold. He didn't like the flavor either. Luckily the hostess did her due diligence to make sure we had a good dining experience. We're not in house complainers, I usually save it for the review. After quite a few questions regarding our visit, she was able to gather that Dad's meal was not quite up to par and removed it from the bill. I advised her it was not necessary but she was not having it. I was absolutely floored at the gesture and service. Will definitely be back to visit.
Stopped at this diner for breakfast on our way home. There was only one server working and it was a little busy. She was just a little snippy with the other staff and customers. When you say you’ll be back to take my order, and I’m ready to order and you don’t come back, there’s problem.We ordered the Hobo Omelette and the Shasta Scramble. The food was delicious with the exception of the cold, raw potatoes in the hash browns. It’s just this location that has issues as we’ve eaten at ones in California, Colorado and Texas.
We meet up every other week with family to eat and visit. It's great food, almost any type available all day.Our favorite waitress, Ellen, is a fun and spunky little blonde, that remembers us and gets our order perfect every time - even though I am picky.The pies are great if you are in the mood for dessert, but if you're there for breakfast - an absolute must try is the fresh squeezed orange juice!!!
Went for my lunch hour and the service and food were fantastic! Thank you!
Delicious food, quick service, Malcolm was wonderful!
