Black Bear Cafe — Restaurant in Thermopolis

I really went back and forth on this rating. I want to give it a four star rating, but, being honest, I can't. The staff is great. They are extremely fast and efficient. The place was clean. My food experience, though, was mediocre. I think if I would have had something else, I definitely could rate higher. I had a chicken bacon wrap with fries. It looked good. The tortilla itself was cracked, though. When I picked up the first half of the wrap, more than half the filling fell out of the bottom. It seemed to me that the tortilla was cooked beforehand and then rolled with the meat and veggies. In my opinion, the tortilla should be cooked after it is stuffed and properly rolled and tucked. This keeps the filling inside, but still allows for a crunchy exterior on the wrap. The fries looked homemade and, while decent, were not salted when they came out of the fryer, resulting in a lackluster taste. If I am back up that way, I would love to try the breakfast, which...

I can get gluten-free food here which is crucial. I like the made-from-scratch home fries which are made from red potatoes.

We had breakfast here, and my 17 month old great nephew was presented with crayons and a page to color. He loved it! Their homemade cinnamon rolls are huge, and are the size of a...

Been through Thermopolis dozens of times in the last 10 years and never knew this (just off main street) gem was there. I had an excellent breakfast for lunch, they were slammed and I never wanted for anything. The staff checked in on us several times. Our order arrived in under 5 minutes, which was overly impressive given how busy they were. Great food, good portions, loved the breakfast potatoes! Had a very well put together menu with a nice variety. Carried corn as well as flour tortillas for almost all of their burritos, as well as offering gluten free buns for their burgers that I can't wait to try next time around. Great green chili and reasonable prices. A must visit in this town if...
