Had a great time for a family dinner. Food was freshly made and customer service was excellent! I highly recommend it! I had the all you can eat fish plate on Friday after 4pm. Great choice!
Great environment! The food was good, and the restaurant was very clean. The staff were friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. Overall a great place to visit.
First time visiting, and wow. Cracker Barrel has had a firm grip on country cooked comfort food.... until now. The clam chowder was a great start, but the Chicken Fried Steak was excellent. The portions were great, and the food came out piping hot. I can happily endorse Black Bear as all the food was good.
From the moment I walked in, the service was incredible. Anai, Roni, and Chris made me feel truly welcome and took great care of every detail. The food was delicious, classic Black Bear comfort, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were here for a fundraiser benefiting Holding Institute of Laredo, and the staff went above and beyond to support the cause. It’s rare to find a place where you can enjoy a hearty meal and feel part of something bigger. Only thing missing? Butter the mascot, but I’ll be back! 🐻 Highly recommend Black Bear Diner Laredo for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, and especially when dining for a cause.
Black Bear Diner is a California original, now found across truck stops, and even their own restaurants popping up like this one. This one in particular offers a mixed experience. While lunch and dinner are generally good, breakfast can be hit or miss. This review dives into a recent visit to a newer location to help you decide what to order. For older patrons, Black Bear Diner is a solid choice due to its respectful service, speed, and above-average food. However, younger diners might find breakfast underwhelming. The eggs were bland and wet, and the sausage was excessively greasy with an odd, sweet flavor that overshadowed its appeal. Despite great service and timely food delivery, the breakfast missed the mark. The waffle, while visually impressive with its bear claw design, was a significant letdown. It was dry and tasted like overly sweetened pancake mix rather than a genuine Belgian waffle. It's advisable to avoid the waffles until improvements are made. To end it on a high note, I’d say if you get most sandwiches, burgers, dinner options in general you’ll be set, and I have to say the home-fries were the bomb, that was the best part of the meal.
