"I would like to state that my family and I have eaten at several BLACK BEAR DINERS across the country, from the flagship at Mt. Shasta up and down California and across the country to include Broken Arrow, OK and now Fayetteville, AR. We are very familiar with the Diner, have enjoyed many meals with the Diner but this last visit was the exception. Date-09/28/2023We entered the diner at 3:35 PM for an early diner and waited to be seated. We asked for a table rather than a booth, at which point the hostess pointed to an upper level and said 'anywhere up there is fine. We ascended the stairs and selected a table and waited for a server.After we ordered our meals and were served our drinks, we browsed the menu and checked all the Black Bear Diner locations we had visited until our meals began arriving a plate at a time.As we began sampling each item on our plates my wife immediately remarked that her baked potato was not completely cooked. She asked the young girl who had brought it out if she would ask the cook to place it in the microwave to cook it through. The young girl left with the half baked potato. As I began chewing my hash browned potatoes, I did just that, chewed and chewed each bite. The appearance was unlike any hash browns I had been served before. My thought was 'left over breakfast potatoes. 'My son had ordered a Chicken Fried Steak dinner and received a large salad prior to his dinner arriving. It WAS Large. However, when his dinner arrived and he began eating that, he was very disappointed in the steak. He said that it was nothing short of a frozen steak, heated and covered in gravy.As we finished our meals the server asked if we would like to have dessert. We have always enjoyed the Diners desserts so we all determined we would each have cheesecake and asked that it be prepared as a 'to go ' order.Arriving back at our hotel later in the evening, we determined to partake of our cheesecake. The flavor did not disappoint, but the portion size did. The portion size was about half the size that we had received a couple of months ago in Broken Arrow, OK.Almost $30 each for a disappointing meal caused me to give the lowest score I have EVER given to a Black Bear Diner."

"My husband took our 7yo for a special daddy/son breakfast. Their food was delivered to the table, they had a few bites and then my son needed to go potty. In the time it took him to go potty and wash his hands they had cleared the table of all food and beverages. My son had eaten 1/4 of his pancake, their side of bacon was untouched and my husband had barely touched his omelet. The wait staff had not come by to check on them at all and their check for the cashier had not been delivered to the table. My husband went to the front of the restaurant and asked where their food had gone and he was informed that he should have found a member of the wait staff and let them know they where using the restroom before leaving the table. My husband then asked them to remake the order and they begrudgingly agreed. My son and husband went and sat back down, after a few minutes no beverages where brought and my son was now getting squirmy. My husband returned to the front and told them he needed to leave. They yelled back to the kitchen to cancel and they said they weren't even making it yet. They then made my husband pay for 1/2 the bill because according to the cashier they had eaten half the food. My husband just wanted to leave at this point. This was a slow Thursday morning with only about 5 tables in the restaurant. No one is expecting a lot from black bear but we've always considered it a fun place to take the kids for breakfast. We will not be coming back! Just want to put a warning out there for everyone make sure you flag down your wait staff and tell them you need to go potty or they will take your food and be fully unapologetic!"
