Mama Bear's Diner

This place is a great find. I stopped in on my way to Willard mountain (it is right on the route from Saratoga Springs off 29). The diner is very cute, but fairly spacious. The prices were very affordable and staff were polite. They greeted me right as I walked in and provided efficient service. I went with the open face turkey sandwich special. It was as good as it sounds and more than I could eat. The baked goods are also awesome. I tried a chocolate chip cookie and it tasted homemade and delicious Highly recommend!

**Holy Moses — what a pancake!** It’s huge, delicious, and totally worth the trip. All the food here is made to order, so have a little patience — it’s absolutely worth it. The pancakes are *stellar*, nothing is greasy, and everything tastes fresh. Go support this great local spot! Five stars all around.

Came here after the diner in Saratoga Springs had too long of a wait and everyone there should have been making the drive! The family staff was attentive and kind and always giving each other credit for the amazing food. And the food was delicious! Homemade, huge portions, perfectly balanced (the homemade hollandaise over the homemade corn beef hash? We are going to drive back from VT for tomorrow’s breakfast). You may think you can defeat the General eating challenge but the (fluffy, sweet but not cloying) hubcap-sized pancake is formidable. 10 out of 5 stars. More stars than that if I can find them.

You don’t get better customer service than this. My son loves the Nightmare Before Christmas. As we found out, so does the lovely family who owns the restaurant. My son was admiring all of the Nightmare Before Christmas decorations they have throughout the restaurant, and the wonderful family gave him one of the characters right off the wall, as well as a bracelet they had of one characters. These are the type of people you want to support as much as possible. Amazing & thoughtful establishment!!!! We left with full bellies and happy hearts. Will be back!

Our family received a holiday cookie platter from Mama Bear's this Christmas. It was incredible! Truth be told, I'm not really a big cookie person (my son on the other hand can't get enough cookies) and I was beyond impressed by everything I tried. The gingerbread was so soft and a perfect blend of sweet and spicy nobody else even had the chance to try them! The chocolate chip didn't look like how I picture a chocolate chip cookie but these proved to me that my preconceived notion of what a perfect chocolate chip cookie looks like has been all wrong. Don't get me wrong, they were all gorgeous and perfectly identical, but that's what made me assume they couldn't be great. I have never been so happy to be so wrong. They manage to balance beautiful presentation and can't-get-enough flavor tha
