Black Bear Diner a family-friendly option

By Ashley Katis Baker
Dining out with family and friends is always a great way to unwind, relax and catch up with loved ones after a long day. However, throw some kids into the mix and simply "going out to eat" can be a daunting task if the restaurant you go to is less than ideal.
Shaswati Cates and her family of four were deciding where they could enjoy a great dinner at a place that was close to home and kid-friendly one night last week. They chose to try out the American Fork location of Black Bear Diner.
"We've visited other locations, so we already had an expectation for the food, ambiance and prices," said Cates. "This experience did not disappoint. Although there were some hiccups (we waited for a server a little longer than usual), the food was just as great as expected. The restaurant was clean, the food was plentiful and staff were friendly."
According to Cates, Black Bear Diner carries a vast array of menu items. "It's a great breakfast place within a short driving distance and that's awesome. It's a good place for kids since it offers kid-friendly options."
Black Bear Diner offers several options for breakfast, lunch and dinner with affordable pricing. "The portions are gigantic! Two adults can easily share one entree. And don't even get me started on their biscuits ... fluffy, freshly baked and super tasty," said Cates.
Cates recommends the corn hash saying, "It's amazing - crispy, salty and super savory."
Black Bear Diner is located at 154 N. West State Street. Its hours of operation are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Visit their website for menu options and pricing at www.blackbeardiner.com.
"You can tell that everything is freshly made. It's seasoned well, which makes this a top choice for our family," said Cates.
