Since 1995, guests have enjoyed an all-day menu of classic American homestyle food in the comfort of a relaxed, family-friendly local diner, perfect for families, friends, teams, and community gatherings.
Way back when we were just a couple of hungry guys with a big dream, we knew folks were looking for a restaurant rooted in something authentic… something real. And while there wasn’t much cash in our pockets, we had enough heart to cobble together our very first diner.
So we set to preparing home-cooked meals that reflected our small-town roots. We were used to a different kind of diner, where servers look you in the eye and smile when they take your order. Where the food tastes a lot like your grandma’s favorite recipes. And where you feel, every time you visit, like you’ve finally come home.
Thirty years later, we’re still serving up the same genuine experience. Because at Black Bear Diner, we believe that timeless values like quality and personal service are still very much alive. So stop on by, and bring your appetite. We’ll set an extra plate.
