Forget buttermilk batter, the sweet cream waffle with fresh strawberries is where it's at.

The fish & chips is cod. Beautiful restaurant. Friendly staff. The French dip is also very good. Relaxed atmosphere
Lisandra MaioliNovember 28, 2013Yes! Everything is HUGE as the other tips said! If you like hot souce, make sure to try their "Habanero Papa Burn" souce!
Lana DannDecember 11, 2016The portions are huuuuuge!! I had the chicken fried steak and it was pretty salty, but the mashed potatoes that came with it were A+!
Rod ShieldsApril 15, 2013Breakfast is the best. This place has Claim Jumper size plates. Good luck finishing your plate in one sitting.
Larry Algood JrFebruary 22, 2013The food is good, It's comfort food burgers, steaks, breakfast and shakes.
Joey PontanillaMarch 29, 2013Lumberjack appetite required here. Even the starter salads are huge-mongous. Chicken-fried steak was just ok. The breading was no bueno but the gravy was peppery & creamy. Get the smaller portion.
Nice place with friendly workers but slowwwwwwwwwwww service even when it's not packed- SO. MUCH. FOOD!!... Cheap and delicious. Get the biscuits & gravy.
Ana MartinezFebruary 17, 2013Awesome decoration. Super fast and super friendly service. Delicious food!
You get lots of food and the employees are all super nice
Plinko KidAugust 13, 2013Really wanted to like this place but I was really underwhelmed. We came for an early dinner with the kids and grandparents. Service was just ok, made me feel like they aren't in it for repeat bizness.
Brooke DeBoerJuly 24, 2013Floor was FILTHY, Menu had butter ALL over it, brought wrong desert was only thing we ordered, waited about 30 min total 4 a MALT! My spoon had crusted food on it. We were gonna leave & refuse 2 pay!
Mel PetersenJanuary 24, 2015Terrible! This bbd is awful!! I found plastic in my coffee! Management wanted me to still pay for it! Corporate black bear diner needs to fix this location!
Jon SwiftJune 19, 2013Skip it. Service was mediocre at best. Both the soup and entree had a bitter burnt taste. Large menu. Empty restaurant and the service was slooow!!
Marta TapperoOctober 25, 2017Big plates, bad food. Not even such good service. Not even that cheap. Not worth the trip.
- Jon SwiftJune 22, 2013Unhappy with the food. Soup and entree with bitter burnt taste. Couldn't see anything in either. Slow service.
- Joyce WoolhetherApril 27, 2013This place is just ok. Lots of GMO processed food. Chx fried steak breakfast is what they consider their best? Its a frozen flat round processed meat w a little "gravy" and is pretty tasteless.

"Good for dates, family fun, or friendly hangouts. Near Bay Street shopping if you're waiting for the next show. Also validates parking."
