Food and service was amazing! We went on a hot day and it was very nice and cool inside. They also they had some limited outside seating that we saw, which looked nice. Our server allowed for several of us at the table to try the different beers they had 2 dark beer options which is not always the case. They also had an awesome lunch special, any pizza and side salad for $9.99, and it was plenty of food! I also ordered a children’s meal which was humongous and more than enough to share between my 2 kids (my picture is of half). The French fries were my favorite so so delicious. I also ordered the quesadillas app, and added chicken for 5$ it was also delicious. I did find a chicken bone in my food, and the waitress not only apologized, she also gave us 10% off the entire bill. And the only reason I gave 4/5 stars is because the bathrooms need to be updated. One of my biggest problems with any restaurant is that there is no changing table in the bathroom for a baby. But there was a random storage door that was open in one of the bathroom stalls and I could hear the noise from the restaurant kitchen while I was going to the bathroom. All in all, a great experience and I would definitely recommend and return!

My husband and I are new in town and this restaurant has been highly recommend and we now see why. The food and service were excellent. Evan took really good care of us. We had a great conversation with the manager about the history of the building and she couldn’t have been more gracious answering our questions. We can’t wait to come back and try the pizzas.

I'm only leaving a review because of the outrageous disparity between price and quality. For 25 dollar entrees, I expect food that is at least edible. The Butternut ravioli and Vodka Rigatoni however would have been better pre-packaged at a grocery store and microwaved. It's almost like they took microwaved sauces and then tried to "fix" them but ultimately made it worse. That being said the service was excellent, the location is beautiful and they are dog friendly.

We had heard positive reviews about this place. It opened at 11, so we came about 11:30 for lunch. It was not crowded at that time. There were 6 in our party, including 2 kids and a senior adult with a walker. They ignored us at first and took two separate couples who came in after us who also didn’t have a reservation. We were told there wasn’t room except in the basement and to leave a number so they might call us if they had an opening later. There were open tables in the front but they weren’t willing to accommodate at all. We went next door to Molly’s Pub who were warm and welcoming. We will never go back to Black Bear.
