RESTAURANT REVIEW
THE BLACK BEAR DINER
1751
Hwy 95
Occasionally our trips to
The decor is Northwest Rustic with pictures of bears all
over. There are quite a few polar bears for a place called the "Black
Bear". Lunches range from $5.00-7.00 and with your burger you get your
choice of fries, coleslaw or potato salad. It's always good to have a choice.
The service was
pretty good as there was a waiter right there to take our drink orders. Not
long after the iced tea showed up (oops, Pepsi, no Coke, no Pepsi, no Coke for
Jim.) Nicole, our waitress was there to take our orders. We ordered everything
from fish to chicken to burgers to chili size - guess who
had that. By 1:30 we were chowin' down. The food was
tasty and well prepared. I thought they were a little stingy with the chili on
my chili size. I think I'll order a regular burger next time as those looked
pretty big. To be fair, they did put two patties on the chili size.
All in all, I'll recommend this place and rev it up to 4 grand on the old Route 66 Riders tach...well, they WERE stingy with the chili.
