Black Bear Diner

Bears and their sylvan habitat dominate the decor, while country-style food makes up the menu for this outpost of a California-born chain. At a stop for breakfast, we contemplated the Grizz, which could surely tame any animal’s appetite, with two pancakes, three eggs, bacon, sausage, and a ham steak, but we opted for a 2-Egg Combo with a whole link of grilled Italian sausage, hash browns (with real shredded potatoes), and an outstanding homemade buttermilk biscuit.
