Enjoyed a lovely meal with prompt service, large portions, and reasonably priced well seasoned entrees. I visited the medium sized Katy, TX restaurant location which is visible from the freeway with ample parking surrounding the restaurant. The country style restaurant welcomes you as you enter. There is a separate dessert case to entice you as you pay for your order.This is a keeper!

A highlight of Texas. Traditional American dishes with large portions. The chicken fried steak with gravy was amazing and the Saturday prime rib was very tender. The cinnamon roll French toast had a texture that was a little too doughy/starchy for my preference but was still good. Everything is reasonably priced, beautifully-presented, and tasty. The service was decent and food came out fast. I also enjoyed the black bear-themed decor and western theme (bear cubs painting, country music, rainbow jukebox, "who let the bears out?" sign). Just reading the newspaper gazette-style menu with a huge selection of omelettes, sausages, eggs, burgers, ribs, etc made me happy. So glad I found this place!

I've been at this location at least a dozen times. I specifically headed here thinking about (craving) French Toast. The 10-15 min wait was not bad on a late Saturday morning at approximately 11:30 AM.I have to say I was a little disappointed the last two times I dined at this location. This time, the French Toast was cold and the bread was dry as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp waiting for somebody to pick it up. I was not offered butter, just a small cup of syrup. I ordered a side of 4 strips of crispy bacon. The bacon was so crisp, it bordered on burnt. The coffee was good. My server was friendly, though it took forever to find her when I was ready for the check. First Watch and Toasted Yolk are consistently better.

I was a little hesitant to try this place due to the previous reviews I'd seen, but they honestly did not disappoint. I ordered The Grizz for takeout. It came with 3 meats, 3 eggs your way, potatoes and 2 pancakes. SOOO GOOD. The only reason I have this 4/5 stars is because the eggs were a little weird tasting in my opinion; however, the other items hit the spot !! The service was fantastic! I ordered my food over the phone and was instructed that it would be ready in about 10-15 minutes. Sure enough, once I arrived, my order was ready and the checkout was smooth and quick. As far as the establishment, it's giving diner vibes. The breakfast smells will have you drooling as soon as you enter the door. Try it out!

I had the Black Bear Choice breakfast for my meal. The grits were perfect for me. The bacon was just right, and so were the eggs and pancakes. A really great breakfast. The service was great as well. I was given a lot of attention by my server, but not too much. This is a really good place for family and friends to just hang out and have a good meal.

The food here is really good! At first I thought it would be super basic and bland...I WAS WRONG. The only thing that met that expectation was their grits. Everything else you see in the photos were seasoned up right! Now...I took off 2 stars because of their lack of cleanliness! Omgggg, we sat down and a puff of dust shot from my seat. The thing that got me was that I'm not sure they've dusted here since pre-Covid. You can literally see the thick layer of dust/dirt on the surfaces where you eat. It's a semi big turnoff. Overall, food is great! Service is awesome! Cleanliness is poor. Will I be back because of the food, most likely. But hopefully they clean their surfaces first...

Service time was 10 mins wait. Food was delicious and plentiful. Pancakes were delicious even without the syrup. Oatmeal was delicious with an option to add milk, brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Definitely will be coming back again

Priscilla, my server, was on top of her section and kept my coffee and water filled! Bravo! It's hard to do during lunch rush!Black Bear style is there, Pacific West Coast, all the way in style, feel, and ambiance!The food is dinner food. Good dinner food. Solid dinner food.A review is not just about food! It's about everything you experience while eating out. You will enjoy eating here!

I have only ever been here for breakfast, but we went for Mother's Day and our waitress was absolutely amazing and so patient with the needy table next to us, was polite and upbeat, and attentive! Price point: 2 adults, 2 kids and drinks $70. But everywhere has gotten expensive. I just didn't expect to spend that much on mediocre food and to be rushed because there's always a wait in the lobby. The food, is just typical breakfast- but it is better than other chain options in the area. It does seem fresher and more homemade too!!! The country potatoes were awesome! Perfectly cooked with a good amount of kick from the bell peppers (one of my fav veggies). Scrambled eggs were a little underdone for my liking, but took them to go and reheated them in a pan the next morning. The hot sausage patty however is waaaayyy toooo much! The seasoning is overbearing and the rosemary is powerful. I like that it looks like a burger patty (it was thick and large compared to typical frozen chain food). The french toast did not taste like french toast tho. My sons was soggy and blah and mine was crispier like toast. But not a good flavor - not like homemade for sure, but i guess thats something thats hard to make and serve in a restaurant setting. Their sweet tea is perfectly sweetened - not too sweet. The chocolate milk tho ny kids did not like cuz its just Hershey's syrup in regular milk so it never stays mixed and why when you order milk at restaurants is it never cold! Its always just cool - gross! All in all its better than IHop and Dennys but not amazing. The service has always been good. They just need more space while your waiting for a table cuz we have always had to wait 20min or more and yesterday it was muggy and had sprinkled rain.
