Black Bear Tavern and Restaurant

We stopped in here the night we got into town. We were staying locally and decided to check this place out. We unfortunately got there too late for food, however, the service was exceptional. We were informed promptly, served promptly & honestly treated just as good as regulars. We will be back in July and this will be a definite go to again. The atmosphere was unmatched. Their staff’s kindness and hospitality would make anyone want to sit down and have a drink!!

Stopped here after cutting down our Christmas tree and boy did we find the place. Wife’s been craving a cheeseburger and her all American burger was everything she could ask for. I got the haddock fish dinner and it was excellent, especially with the sauteed onions and lettuce and tomato. Homemade coleslaw and tarter topped it off. Michelle was a wonderful server and bartender and took great care of us. Pool is our thing and theirs was free today Highly recommend and will return .. We might even try the bull riding!!

Went in sat at the bar. There were 6 other people. Bar tender gave my menu to people who already had food 4 seats away. The customers gave me the menu. Very small menu, not many options. Ordered the queso nachos ... they came out with cheap junk canned nachos cheese. Huge chunks of onions and tomatoes, no care in the prep. The cheese was disgusting, not at all what I planned for a lake lunch. It was $19 for the nachos with chicken... complete waste. The live music was good and unexpected. It will be a long time before I would return here. Get it together.

Been coming to DCL for 25 years and I would say in the past 5 years since COVID this place went to crap. The Nachos with chicken were 18$ and was legitimately 10x worse than what you would get at a gas station. The only toppings they had were semi diced tomatoes, sweet bell peppers that you would put on a sandwich, pump queso, jalapeños and a few flakes of cheddar cheese and maybe 1 crispy microwave chicken tender. Never in my life, My 5 year old could legitimately make better nachos than the so called cook can. The server never bothered to ask how we wanted our burgers cooked, I think they’re scared of giving us food poisoning so they over cooked them. They were as crunchy as the nachos. Also the server never bothered to bring straws or ask if we wanted refills, I think it must be his

Horrible service. Sat for 15 min before seeing a waitress. Our to go order came out prior to our actual meal. They have reminders for wait staff to be nice.
