black bear diner.

matt told nycole and me about a new diner that opened up, black bear diner. we decided to go saturday night and loved it. the place was packed but they got us a table of 3 within 5 or so minutes. the food came quickly and the service was great (although we waited just a bit for the check). the atmosphere is what sold me.

the place is decked out (cabin-y style) with wooden bears everywhere. the servers wore funny teeshirts, our server's said 'bear with me' and they all work suspenders with bear prints. the menu looks like a newspaper with actually news on the outside circa 1976. the menu has something of everything available.

matt got breakfast which was huge. we're talking buscuits the size of burgers. nycole got a bacon cheese burger and i got a sourdough bacon cheeseburger. get this. my burger had parmesaen cheese toasted on the outside of the sourdough bread. then swiss cheese inside the burger. the fries had the perfect hint of seasoning. nycole and i split a shake (the server told us they come with the overflow in a tin and would be plenty for 2) and it was delish.

i'm always on a good quest for chili which they had available and i'll probably try next time. they also have small portioned pies (blackberry, cherry and peach...along with cream pies). as they say, the pies are generous for one and perfect for two. i just love that they're cute tiny pies :)

anyway. we loved it. we'll definitely be going back.
