On way home from Mooers Forks NY was looking for a place to eat. Came across here on the GPS search. We stopped in. Great food, great environment, friendly staff. Food was quick to come out. We came in after the lunch rush. Will definitely go back again. I got the homemade meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy with very delicious carrots. My fiance got liver and onions with mashed potatoes gravy and carrots.

Normally I love local places like this but as others have said, I think staffing is a problem here. Service was very slow and the place was not crowded at all. We stopped here for lunch on our long drive to Montreal. Even after we were seated and served anyone that came into the restaurant after us was told the place was closing soon. There was such a weird vibe - although we all enjoyed our food. We just didn't feel welcomed.

It's a great place for breakfast which is what we went there for the majority of the time. We did go one time for lunch and I must admit the turkey dinner, superb you could tell it was a fresh, probably farm raised turkey. Thick slices, tender and juicy, it was good. Mashed potatoes are great and the gravy tastes homemade and good enough that my southern grandma would approve. Hubby had the steak and eggs which he enjoyed.Parking: Place does get packed.

Black Bear has always been a 5 star for us but the last visit, president's day weekend, it took 45 minutes for our food to come out. Waitress initially gave our bfast to another table but caught her mistake in time. During the waiting time, waitress did not keep us posted on the delay, actually avoided coming out to the tables. She was MIA.

Delicious food and excellent customer service! This is a very homey establishment and the staff treat you like one of the locals. They have great prices and a decent menu. It’s a local gem for sure right in the Adirondacks.

Was surprisingly good for a quick stop lunch. Good atmosphere. Lottery playing on the tv the whole time. Very sweet people in a small town. I would stop in again. The burger was well prepared and the bun was not just a cheap store bought one. Was more like sourdough or something. 👍

This restaurant has a bar and a dinner. You can play pool and choose a song from the jukebox. As for dinning, service is fast. Food is ok. Took a fish sandwich and there was nothing in it except for a ranch sauce on the side. Their speciality is a shrimp basket, pretty tasty😋. Like the bear decoration gives a nice touch to the restaurant. Worth the stop.

I had a very a pleasant experience here. Staff was very kind, service was fast, and the food was tasty. I got the meatloaf and enjoyed it. Boyfriend got the club with their twisty fries - the fries were spectacular.There was also a attached bar that was pumping some good tunes. We didn't hang out there, but it seemed like a good atmosphere.There is only one stall for the ladies bathroom, but what they lack in stalls they make up with sanitary items, mint strips, and cleanliness.

I loved it. I loved the old, history feeling of it when I walked in. The waitresses were really nice and attentive. It was busy, so there was a small wait, but it was still fine. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with tomato and lettuce. It was really good - a lot of flavor, which sometimes you get bland chicken and what you put on it helps give it flavor- not this one. I could have eaten it without mayo! So good! And everyone else enjoyed their meals as well! Def a must

Got a Papa Bear burger and onion rings, wife got the Chicken Cordon Blue sandwich and fries. Both the onion rings and fries were EXCELLENT! Super crispy and delicious. Rest of the food was great, and so was the waitress. A++

Not very happy with my visit. Although the service was great and the staff was very friendly. The interior was very dirty. There were flies that lingered around, and the food seemed microwaved and thrown together. My son order the steak and cheese grinder, and the meat was Luke warm and didn't seem cooked all the way through. My girls' onion rings were burnt. I ordered the fish sandwich, and the fish was cold in some parts on the inside. The fries were really good. I believe the staff issue played a big part.

We were in the dining area for dinner. The bar is a different entrance. Decor could use updating and that is the only negative. I had the grilled chicken caprese sandwich with fries and my husband had the open faced hot roast beef dinner. Both were delicious and satisfying. Laura, the one and only server at the time, was amusing and she was awesome; making sure we had every thing we needed and always checked on us. With only one cook, the food came out amazingly fast. If you're hungry it's a great place to stop.

I'm from Long Island, so a place like this isn't considered fancy by any means. But honestly, the food was great. Basic breakfast food, done right. Prices were good too. I really loved the biscuits and gravy.The carpets were also very clean. You don't normally see carpet in a restaurant. But to my surprise it was clean.It's definitely a good place to check out. It's in the middle of nowhere, and no other places were close by. So if you're in the area, you don't have much of a choice.

Got seated 2 adults 3 small kids and no one brought menus for 10 mins. Ordered drinks and the wrong ones got brought and it took again 10 minutes for a bottle beer. Food arrived and was decent but very basic food for the price. 1 waitress just kept complaining about the other you could just sense the negativity. Have to go through a door into bar for bathroom.

The locals seem to like this place and so didn’t we while attending Americade in Lake George. But to our surprise it is up for sale for $580k. Always had a good breakfast from here and the elders are always eager to ask us out of towners questions about our bikes. A must stop for breakfast while still under old ownership.

I drove 165 miles round trip today,( 10/1/22 ) because I hadn't been here since I was a teenager. I had a terrific server named Sasha, very friendly and fast too. I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries and pickle slices, and the selection was more than enough for me, I was stuffed!!! Friendly staff and customers, and today was the first day of new ownership too. I will be returning soon with others in tow to enjoy the Black Bear Restaurant 🐻.Thanks again Sasha... 😉👍🏻

Terrible service. Waitress complained the entire time how busy she was yet only had three tables to take care of. Daughters pizza was burned black, son’s burger was blood red not medium. And wife’s chicken sandwich was not cooked. When we asked the waitress about the chicken her response was “ well it comes precooked so I don’t know what to tell you “ no mention of what they could do to make it right.Never again will we go there. Place is dirty and service suckedFeel like I need a tetanus shot after leaving.

I had a chicken sandwich which was absolutely fabulous but my son doesn't talk to me any more because I voted for Trump because of his hair which makes me feel like my hair has a chance to be successful.Vegetarian options: Beyond burgers
