Bathrooms were immaculate. Service was fantastic. Dwan W was amazing. Our food was so good. I got the chicken dinner and my wife got the fish. I think next time I'll try the burger or maybe the prime rib! We got a berry and chocolate pie out the door. The boxes are so cute. They have a little bear paw for the window hahaha

So last time here was horrible. Steak was way overcooked. Eggs are small. Pancake was small. Pancakes were cold! Pancakes were so cold the butter wouldn't even melt. 50 dollars for 2 breakfasts and the steak was like shoe leather and the eggs aee small or medium? How chintzy can you get? I got a full plate of potatoes though. Sadly we will never go here again. Previous visits were pretty good but 50 dollars for breakfast is steep for cold pancakes and overcooked steak. Server was in the weeds and we had to ask for some things several times.

We fully enjoyed our meal at the Black Bear Diner. The portions were extremely generous, the food was delicious and our server was very attentive! We visited during Christmas season and the diner was decorated with the cutest holiday displays. We loved how they had options for seasonal drinks or pies/cakes as well! Looking forward to returning on my next visit to Colorado Springs.

Came here for my first time for breakfast & enjoyed the experience overall. The sweet cream pumpkin pancakes were to die for & the fresh squeezed orange juice was incredible. I wish I would've ordered something other than the chicken & waffles as it was pretty plain & there was nothing special about it. Everything else was great!

★★★★★ 5.0 Deborah Copher · Nov 2025

Dined here for breakfast several times over our four day visit to Colorado Springs. Our server Ashley took care of us multiple times with happy, timely and prompt service. Our food was excellent each time and we appreciated the variety on the menu. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.
