Reviews for Black Bear Diner Mesquite in Mesquite, TX

Hubby and I stopped in for a late dinner. I was very pleased with the friendliness of the staff. Very welcoming. I was a... little skeptical at first, but that was eased as I tasted my first bite. I ordered from the little less option and that'sexactly what your gonna get, so keep that in mind when your ordering. It was pretty good. Hubby let me try his strawberryshake, burger, and onion rings they were just as delicious. The staff stated that there breakfast is the best , so well haveto go back and try there breakfast. (breakfast served all day) They also make some of the baked goods (dessert) on site. Theylooked pretty tasty, so well have to try the dessert next time as well. You'll also find cute souvenirs to remember your diningexperience. There is plenty of seating and the decor is great if your into wilderness and cabins. We are definetly planning oncoming back :) Read more

Visited on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. we knew it would be busy we asked how long it would take. The young lady at the front told us 15... to 20 minutes which was reasonable. We saw the tables were empty so we thought okay we would stay and wait... 45 minutes laterand 10 minutes after telling us we were second in line and five tables sat in front of us I decided to ask about it. We thenbecame next in line and they sat us not sure what that was about maybe she was overwhelmed and lost her place. The food was okayit's not a regular Black Bear experience that we've had before in other states I think they're just getting their legs. We willgive them another try but not on Sunday, not after church times, and not at noon. Food is good, homestyle, and VERY largeportions. The biscuits are 2 " tall but they were a bit dry this visit. Again they are working with what they have and gettingtheir legs ( we hope) Read more

Christavious was very friendly, patient, and welcoming. It was our very first visit the breakfast was very good my wife Norma... and I (Ced) enjoyed it and we will definitely be back to see Christavious. The manager Dalton was spot on with any otherquestions or concerns besides our server who helped 110%. Read more

came back to update my review but not rating. they were busy (not jam packed busy) we had no wait to be seated. when we were... seated, there was food on our chairs and liquid on another. floor was littered with crumbs and food. there were SO manyemployees on staff i could see at least 5 sitting or standing around, you would think the place would be cleaner. MOST of theirfloor staff are very young and based on our service, not properly trained. saw a lot of staff sitting at the counter talking,playing with their hair. our server never told us his name. i ordered sweet potato fries which arrived to the table a littlesoggy and just warm. also got a house salad. nothing remarkable about house salads i guess. my son ordered a cheeseburger andfries. both were just warm. my granddaughter ordered chicken tenders tossed in redds hot sauce with fries and vanilla shake. herfood was the only hot plate we received this meal. she said they were good, but a bit too spicy for her. my mother ordered twoeggs over easy, breakfast potatoes and sausage. her food was also just warm. her english muffin was brought out 3 separate timesbecause it wasn't even toasted. also no butter on it or served on the side. our server never tried to fix, had to ask for theenglish muffin every time it was sent back and when asked how the kitchen was cooking their english muffins, his reply was "idont know i don't work in the kitchen" he also mostly avoided us during our visit after we sent back the first english muffin.we had to track him down to ask for refills. we weren't offered any refills on our water that was two out of the 4 in ourparties only drink. when we left, there were 4 employees behind a two register station taking amongst one another while theychecked out guests. they have KIDS basically running this place. and that's great that they want to work, but in my experiencethey are the least likely to be concerned with the type of service they give. and it was obvious here. they mi Read more

Mesquite needed a place like this. Better than Cracker Barrel, IHOP or Dennys. Was blown away by the menu, they have it all and... MORE. Breakfast all day long, huge portions. The Biscuit was absolutely the biggest and best I have ever seen and enjoyed. Could not eat it all. Hashbrown potatoes were made fresh and delicious, also Best ever. I had the Chicken fried steak with 2eggs, what I get at the other guys, hands down awesomeness. Service is top notch, well trained and best available. The menu asI said, was so large, it comes in newspaper format. They have plates that you never see anywhere else- spicy or mild Italiansausage in gravy? My business lunch partner loved it. Took a plate home to the missus, huge ham steak and creamy pancakes, meltin your mouth. We can't wait to try it again soon. I see that this is going to be a regular destination. Read more

Wowwww it's been a minute since I've done this. I just haven't found an establishment worthy of praise. UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!... Crackle Barrel watch out. Mikia was our server. She gave warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness. This is how you do it, havingsomeone like her on your team. We had the Big Bear chicken fried steak. Grits were soft and creamy (you know I love grits), andeggs prepared to perfection. I'll tell you about the desert in the next post. DEFINITELY COMING BACK. Read more

First time visiting Black Bear Diner. Highly recommend this homestyle type restaurant. My patty melt was cooked my way, medium... and the sourdough bread was very good quality. My daughter enjoyed her hot open faced turkey sandwich. Real mashed potatoes andgreat quality turkey. Stop in sometime for down home diner type food. Read more
