“ The food and service is great! Nice people there that will remember you after a few visits. It looks better after the new owners did some remodeling. ”
“ We both had the Philly steak sandwich with cheese curds. It was thee besttt sandwich we've had at a restaurant in a very long time. Ask for the auj it made the sandwich even better. They have the best cheese curds too with the light breading. Our daughter had a kids grilled cheese which is made with Texas toast. Our waitress was also very good and friendly. And it was affordable. The only downfall was they were out of soup which we both love. I wish we lived closer so we could make this our go to restaurant. And they win major points for having a changing station in the women's restroom, they could score more if they add one in the men's too. ”
“ MY CAR HAD TO GET WORK DONE ON IT, SO WHILE WE WERE WAITING WE DECIDED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW. WE ARRIVED AROUND 11AM new years day AND IT WAS PACKED. WE FINALLY FOUND A SPOT AND HEADED IN. the hostess ANGIE GREETED AND GOT US SAT. NOT LONG AFTER LISA CAME OVER TO GREET US. SHE HAD SERVERAL TABLES AND ALL MADE SURE TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES AND GIVE HER A FEW DOLLARS. IF SHE WASN'T TAKING ORDERS , SHE WAS FILLING COFFEE'S, REFILLING SODAS. WE WERE IMPRESSED ON HOW CLEAN AND ORGANIZED EVERYTHING WAS. THEY HAVE BUS CARTS WHICH I THOUGHT WAS GENIUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT EFFICIENT BUT SAVES THE BUSSER BACK. Now the FOOD SELECTION COVERS JUST ABOUT ANYONES TASTE. FROM BEER BATTERED COD , STEAK, SHRIMP, STIRFRY, FRENCH DIP OH AND A CHICKEN AND DUMPLING TO RIVAL Mary's in my opinion I grew up in Milwaukee and Sunday rider was Broasted Chicken. I've lived in Appleton area for 33 years and it hard to find Broasted Chicken let alone good braosted chicken with the right amount of seasoning and not dry. Well I found it at The Black Bear. THEIR BROASTED CHICKEN IS NOT ONLY PERFECTLY SEASONED BUT IS TENDER AND JUCICY AND PERFECTLY COOKED INSIDE. OT TOOK ME BACK TO 1977 Milwaukee Wisconsin. it comes with a verity of sides and a desert for 10.99 I think it was and a 2 uncharg if you want all 4 pieces white or all dark meat. IM A DARK MEAT GIRL SO I APPRECIATED THE OPTION. I FORGOT TO TELL HER ALL DARK MEAT AND SHE WAS GENUINELY SWEET AND SAID ILL GO RIGHT BACK AND TELL THE COOKS. LEO & JUAN. I TOLD HER TELL THEM IM SORRY , TRULY. IF YOU WORKED IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY, YOU KNOW ITS A HARD TO CHANGE AN ORDER IF THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING IT AND WHY I SENT MY APOLOGIES. OUR SOUP CAME OUT A DECENT AMOUNT AND WAS FLAVOURFUL AND THE DUMPLINGS WERE REALLY GOOD. THE DESERT I ORDER WAS A STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE AND I REALLY HATE WHEN THE CAKE IS SOGGY WITH THE STRAWBERRY SAUCE BUT AGAIN I FORGOT TO SAY PUT STRAWBERRIES AND SAUCE ON THE SIDE BUT NO WORRIES THEY GOT YOU! IT ARRIVED AND I SAY OH BOY BUT I LIKED LISA SO MUCH I JUST COULDN'T SO I TOOK A BITE HOPING FOR THE BEST LOL AND OMG SO GOOD NO SOGGY CAKE. THE CAKE WAS MOIST AND EVERYTHING TASTED SO GOOD, THE WHOLE MEAL, PATRONS WERE REALLY SWEET AND THE VIVBE WAS RELAXED AND CHEERFUL YOU CAN TELL THE STAFF LOVES WHAT THEY DO AND THE OWNER MADE SURE TO SET THEIR STAFF UP FOR SUCCESS, EVERYTHING THEY COULD NEED IS A FEW STEEPS AWAY SO THEY DON'T WASTE TIME GOING DOWNSTAIRS OR BACK STORAGE ROOM TO GET SUPPLIES. I don't get why THE Black Bear only gets a 4.4 star. either the people reviewing are never happy or don't know good food. I've eaten at Bobby Flays in Vegas we had 4 people with 3 bottles of wine for a total 3,200 including tip. we also like to eat at RYE so we know we'll made food so if you love food WELL MADE FOOD AND AN INVITING ATMOSPHERE. WITH REASONABLY PRICED SELECTIONS THIS IS YOUR PLACE! I'm including pictures ”
“ I stopped here for dinner at 6 pm and the place was packed. I was seated right away, and my server took my drink order. When she came back, I ordered the Country Fried Steak along with American Fries. It was served right away, and it was really nothing to look at, but boy did it taste good. The steak was very tender and flavorful. There was plenty of gravy and the American Fries were perfectly cooked. Overall, this was a really good meal for the money and the service was quick and efficient, I will stop here again when I am in town. ”
“ This restaurant is always full of customers! Excellent breakfast and good service. If you are seated near a n area where staff can put dishes, it does get very loud as they do not set them down gently. ”
“ Very family friendly, Only wait 2 minutes at the door. Asked for a nice table at the windows. Had the Chilli & Reuben sandwich. By far, one of my top 3 reuben. ”
“ Quality family restaurant with generous portions. We had the ham and cheese omelet (American fries and toast included) and a bacon omelet add tomatoes (hashbrowns and pancake included). Will go again. ”
“ Awesome find! Great food. Great service. Reasonable prices. What more could you want. ”
