I'm a little biased toward diners. Although, I do prefer a hole in the wall, local diner which Black Bear is not. It's definitely more of a corporate feel. I'd compare it to IHOP but I personally think it's much better based on this visit. I'd never been to one until we stopped in here. It was a last minute decision because we found it on Yelp while out doing some evening shopping. It was a Friday night and I have to say, I'm still surprised at how many restaurants in JoCo close at 8 or 9pm even on the weekend! Yes, Friday night is a weekend night for me. I really don't understand this. I've lived in some small towns where restaurants had early hours but even they were open later on the weekends. Back to Black Bear Diner. Maybe I didn't have high expectations because it's a chain but I liked it. I had fun picking out several options on my tri-tip steak and chicken tender dinner. I had a nice salad and some good onion rings. My partner got the prime rib which he enjoyed. Is it steakhouse quality, no, but it's also not the price and it's pretty good. We had tons of food with our 2 meals. We had 2 to-go boxes and around $50 with a tip. I also really enjoyed the casual environment and our service was great. Patient as we picked out food, the menu is huge! I was surprised by how quickly the food came out.I liked paying at the register on the way out because it was quick and easy too. I'll also admit I enjoyed perusing the small Black Bear Diner gift shop up front. They have Black Bear Lazy Ones PJs and sleep shirts with the Black Bear on them. I love Lazy Ones PJs and lounge wear! I need to go back and get some along with trying some other menu items, I'd give it 5 stars but I feel it's a little too corporate but otherwise, a great, fun, reasonably priced (and open later) place in Olathe!

Was quick to be seated even during breakfast rush this place is large enough that there plenty of tables. I got the breakfast sandwich which as you can see in my picture it is rather large portion and had plenty of breakfast potatoes. It was so tasty that I wanted to eat it all but ended up calling it quits halfway through. I thought that the cost for what you got was a great value and will definitely be going back to try more foods.

Ordered some brunch to go after a busy morning of running around doing errands. I was STARVING and black bear diner was close. Wanting and waited 10 minutes past the pickup time for my food. Nobody stopped to say hi or ask if they could help me or anything. Got home a few minutes later and opened my bag to find the eggs, bacon, pancakes, syrup, and butter all just crammed into a single container. The eggs were so overcooked I couldn't eat them. The bacon was the worse quality bacon I've ever seen & I ended up only taking one bite. The pancakes were edible but nothing beyond that. I only had a couple bites of them before I threw them out. Literally recommend going ANYWHERE else for food.

Anytime I walk into a restaurant and there is pie on display, I usually have a feeling that I am going to have a good meal.We were greeted with arms wide open and Matt brought out our beverages immediately and while we were marveling at the menu and reading the special edition newspaper we zoned in on a stack of pancakes and country fried stake which were delicious and large enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner.We'll be back to enjoy the rest of the menu and the lively atmosphere.

Black Bear Diners are typically the same, cozy and comfortable, very much like their menu! It was nice to have Joanna, as our server though and show us the Midwestern kindness and service, that we were told about!

Great place all the way around! Great food and great service! We decided to eat breakfast for supper. We had pancakes, which were absolutely delicious! Also had scrambled eggs and ham. Prices were reasonable. Facility was clean including the restroom. We got there an hour before they closed and we were not rushed at all. Waitress was extremely attentive! We got a dessert (small pie) from the showcase to go, it was great! Highly recommend!

Got my order online for takeouts. Ordered 2 steak & eggs w/hash browns. hash browns tasted like they were cooked in an old oil. Got refunded for the hash browns, thankfully. My daughter ordered a taco salad which she said was good, but she found a whole splintered wood after she already had taken a bite of her salad. Spoke to the understanding and kind general manger for the 2nd time and is now under investigation with their team. Very disappointing.
