Black Bear Diner Waco

Ermagurd! I dont know how this little gem has stayed hidden. Quite and yummy. Super affordable, the taco salad in this Pic was like 12 bucks and massive, wife couldn't eat half. Its definitely enough for 2 people. With all the chip and Jo tourists traps in waco this is a pleasant experience. My chicken fried steak was better then the new heitmillers though nothing will ever compare to the original. Steak was edge to edge, no big pocket of air in excessive crust. They offer waffles and sweet cream pancake among many other yummy items. And personal 6inch pies, at 7.00ea what a steal. If you are craving that really good strong diner coffee, they got it, and they offered one to go as well. We love this place. I coin this place the love child of cracker barrel and a wafflehouse...

This was our first time trying here. The cashier Nicole and hostess were very nice. Our server Alexis was awesome and made sure we were very well taken care of. I got the mini Volcano and my partner got the meat lovers omelette. He said it was good, the sausage was very tasty! Gave 4 stars because my pancakes were very moist and good. We got the biscuits and gravy too because I like to judge based off the classic..they were okay. They were huge, but really dry and the gravy was just gravy. Nothing too crazy but a better okay breakfast place. 5 stars for all service though!

This was my first time dining at Black Bear Diner in Waco and I plan to go back. I went with a simple BLT and hash browns. They've got a large menu. I sat at the diner bar since it was just myself. My server greeted me promptly upon sitting. It was cool to see the cooks in action behind the counter. I'll order pancakes next time and orange juice. Their orange juice is squeezed in house.

The atmosphere/motif is cute. Our server was pretty good. Food was just OK. Blackened salmon was good, but it's hard to ruin salmon. Meatloaf was not what we expected. The consistency was that of some sort of pre-prepared/pre packaged faux meat stuff. The flavor was not distasteful, but it didn't taste like meatloaf...kind of a weird, bland Salisbury steak taste like in a frozen dinner...the gravy seemed canned and the grilled onions seemed to have come out if a box... The stems of all of our broccoli was black...like it had been stood up in the pan to cook and allowed to burn, but upon further examination it was freezer burn or mold or something else... We both got baked potatoes and the actual potato was OK, though its thin skin was more reminiscent of a boiled or microwaved potato than

We went there for the first time this evening. Everything was amazing. I ordered my sandwich without onions, it came to the table with onions. My husband asked for another sandwich would be made, fully planning on paying for both sandwiches (he was going to eat the other sandwich for lunch). They remade the sandwich, and was so apologetic. They gave us a while new sandwich. Everything was absolutely terrific. We will definitely return. All of the staff was very friendly.
