I was told about the biscuit and gravy and I decided to take a look but I didn't expect it. My order had three gigantic delicious biscuits and gravy. Just make sure you are ready to eat because it's a great breakfast. This place is so good that I went back on a different day and ordered the meatloaf and it was delicious. Again I highly recommend it. It's like a home cooked meal.

We are visiting from San Antonio Texas. Tried Black Bear Diner our first night in Colorado Springs. Well the food was so good we ate there the next morning for breakfast, and the next two mornings as well. Food was amazing. Megan was a great server, friendly and accommodating. Thanks for making our visits a great experience.

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.

I ordered the biscuits with gravy as my meal option, but it was disappointing because the biscuits were not buttery. Looking at the pictures now I should have gotten a waffle. The food For the rest of my party looked and tasted really good. The atmosphere was really fun with bear themes everywhere.

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!

We really enjoyed our visit to black bear! The service was very quick, food was amazing and our server did a great job! They had a ton of gluten-free options as you can get gluten-free bread on any sandwich and a gluten-free bun on anything and can even make the pancakes gluten-free. So many choices! We would definitely go here again!
