Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this lovely Wednesday? Things here are okay. Apparently, I’m anemic and have a severe vitamin D deficiency. That’s about it. Otherwise, things are normal. After the doctor’s appointment, we went for a late lunch at Black Bear Diner in Mesquite. Check the website for locations and hours. We’ve been there twice now. For the people who are familiar with the area, it’s where the Chinese buffet was on restaurant row. So, I decided to do a review. Any pictures are borrowed from Google because I didn’t think about taking any.

First, a reminder of my rating system:

MMMMM = Everything is magnificent!
MMMM = Great, but something is off.
MMM = Pretty good, but a couple of things could be better.
MM = The bad’s starting to outweigh the good.
M = Definitely more cons than pros.
… = I couldn’t find anything nice to say.

Accessibility: There’s a nice ramp out front and plenty of room to get in easily. The handicap parking spaces are directly across from the ramp, so it’s easy access. The tables are a little high, which is great for me since my chair is on the tall side. You have to check out at the front. There’s a tall counter, so it would probably be annoying if you’re there on your own, but the staff is nice, so I have no doubt they would figure out a way to help.

Service: It was great. Our waiter was Hunter both times. He didn’t hesitate to talk to me directly, so he gets bonus points. He gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and made sure we were taken care of. He made the experience pleasant overall.

Food: The breakfast items were delicious. I especially liked the Bacon Avocado Benedict. Dad enjoyed his “The Grizz” with a waffle instead of pancakes. Dinner items weren’t as good. The chicken fried steak was the “pre-chewed” kind. That ultra processed patty that is basically just steak crumbles, so not very good unless that’s what you like. The chicken and waffle was good. The chili was not chili, but it was an okay bean stew.

Dessert: They have a nice selection. We only had the berry cobbler, but it was yummy. Everything else looks good too.

Price: Good sized portions at a relatively cheap price. It’s worth it.

My rating:
