Black Bear Diner Harker Heights

I'm an early riser and arrived at 0630. No wait. Greeted promptly and warmly. Ordered bottomless coffee, two eggs over medium, Shredded Corned Beef Hash with home fries and a biscuit. The coffee was hot and delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked. The corned beef hash and potatoes were equally delicious - even better with the Papa Burn sauce! When does a biscuit stop being a biscuit and become a small loaf of bread!? Four inches tall and as square as the palm of my hand. It was perfect biscuit texture all the way through. Someone had to have gone through a lot of trial and error to perfect that biscuit recipe and cooking time. It was excellent. Server was very attentive and very pleasant. Great experience. Highly recommend.

All day breakfast!!! The food was great, loved the grits. The waffle was very good, crisp but soft and just the right size. The chicken tenders were good, fried just right. The bacon 🥓 was good too, thick like I like it. The people (crew and customers) were friendly…will definitely be back.

black bear diner experience was rough- 15 minutes with a room basically empty - the restaurant was maybe 20% capacity 12 or so people in there no service or hi or anything, finally got help, then the food was wow and not in a good way , the salad I got was the bottom drawer of the fridge in the leftover ignored freezer burned bag with slippery grossness and oozy edges , the carrots were like wet straw wrappers they had ZERO crunch or freshness to them. Grabbing the lettuce or carrots there was the oozy snot like jelly on the outside like mildew of an aquarium- (I simply wouldn't eat it ) The salad was just so bad - just totally unacceptable and then the plate of food came ...the dudes thumb was in my CFS gravy- it was just a terrible experience, .... the host guy tried to help by bringing part of the food and I could see it - thumb and fingers got gravy on them and he's playing off the gravy on his thumb and the drying finger print on the plate - such a turn off- went there a month after they opened years ago for a breakfast and was super busy and noisy but we didn't have a bad experience really, so now some time along - we tried again with less crowd , evening and well.... I'm sure someone will say that's not bad or you're a jerk customer or something lame, but we paid the bill , left a tip even tho we were ignored for 15+ minutes , and never given a refil or seen her until we were just ready to leave - but yeah- idk. Just wanted to rant . I'd assume a better experience based on other reviews. Just won't ever go back.

What a delightful establishment! I wish I discovered this restaurant sooner. They definitely give large portions. I wanted to try the chocolate cream pie, but by the end of the meal we were too stuffed to engage in a desert. Everything else we tried was delicious and left me with a smile. They have lots of options on the menu including all day breakfast. The whole restaurant experience at Black Bear Diner is created to make it feel wholesome and homey. The menu itself is really interesting, as it is designed like a newspaper. I wish they had more healthy side options. I already get a salad with the meal so I’m not getting another salad for the side. The green beans are also cooked with bacon which I’m sure people love, but I would prefer without. My biggest concern was the lack of timely refills on our drinks. We sucked those waters dry! Ultimately this restaurant feels like getting a nice hug from your grandparents. I would highly recommend it for any diner enthusiast.

This place was really nice. I was surprised to see such low prices for such nice food. Definitely a steal. I really enjoyed the selection of food and everything tasted great! I will definitely be coming back here! I highly suggest getting the chicken noodle soup and cornbread because it’s so fire.
