Black Bear Diner Wilsonville — Restaurant in Wilsonville

Returned 8 months later. This time had the taco salad ($15). Wow, you don't walk away hungry (See photos/video). A huge fried flour tortilla filled with all the fresh taco options, lettus, avocado, tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, onions, cheese, beans and your choice of meat( beef or chicken). Jalapeños were mild for their hotness. Ask for additional salsa and ranch dressings. Black Bear's salad is better than all the other restaurants including the many Mexican restaurants we've eaten at. The establishment was clean despite being busy during lunch and we were served quickly. Our waitress was friendly. We'll be back, a lot sooner next time. ...................................... Black bear review Been to multiple black bear restaurants in different states. Consistency in all aspect is why this restaurant chain is successful. Off time was our visit, so was seated immediately. Establishment very clean. Friendly waitress, coffee served quickly. Coffee very good with option of flavored creams.sugars options were pink, yellow(splenda), and blue along with reg surgar. Order taken quickly and before we realized, our meal was served. See photos. I had the Bruce's meat lovers omelet. Packed full of meat as promised, and eggs cooked to perfection. The hashbrowns were cooked well, but the wide potato strips created a crust like texture, unlike normal shoe string hashbrowns. Ordered the rye bread and that was a perfect blend, not overly rye taste. I was very full and the cost reasonable for todays economy (see menue prices). My wife's meal met her expectations as well. Friendliness and multiple checks by our server to see if we needed anything, like refills of coffee with a smile. Keep up the good work....

Everybody was all smiles, and very pleasant when we walked in. It was a medium busy Saturday. We’re usually there in the middle of the week. And have a better experience than this. However, the young lady that seated us was attentive, everything was clean and nice. She came and took our order. I ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup. I also asked that the soup come ar the same time my husband‘s burger came. My soup came a full five minutes before his burger. As she set the bowl down, she said his burger will be out in a minute. While I was waiting for him to get his food. I put my spoon in the soup and stirred it a bit and realized that I had was about to pay $8 dollars for broth, a fair amount of noodles, and exactly one very small piece of chicken…… in the chicken noodle soup. It was processed chicken not chicken breast. But that’s fine. And when she came back with my husband‘s burger, I very nicely said hey, there is one piece of chicken in this bowl of chicken noodle soup , I expected 5-7 pieces of chicken in a bowl. She rolled her eyes and said well I gave it a good stir before I scooped it up. And I said, then I’d rather not have it. And she said I’ll go get you some more. I said don’t want more soup. I would like a few more pieces of chicken to add to this. She came back with a cup of soup with a few noodles in it and two more pieces of chicken. As she put it down. She looked at me and said if I did this for everybody in no time there wouldn’t be any chicken left in the soup. And I said, well, possibly, you should be adding considerably more chicken when it’s made. I was very nice. Then took an inordinate length of time to get us our ticket. I did not leave much of a tip....

We entered the establishment at 5:45 pm on a Thursday. There were 2 tables with patrons eating, 2 tables with 3-4 people waiting to order. Then, my party of 3 was seated. A party of 1 and another party of 2 came in after we did. At 6:15, the hostess directed the waitress to our table. We ordered and then waited and waited. At 7:20, we pointed out that we had placed our order an hour ago. We sat during that hour and watched as the 2 tables that were seated after our party were served, and one had finished and left. Our waitress explained that they had been "slammed" and the cook was catching up. During this hour of wait. A person in our group (of 3) needed to walk a bit, so they walked to the east side of the restaurant. So, when we heard the cook had been slammed, we were now wondering where those patrons were located as by 7:30 when our food arrived to our table we were the only customers in the establishment and the east side had no customers when we entered nor when our friend needed to stretch their legs. My hamburger was not fully cooked. I ended up eating the toppings from the burger and the little bit of meat that had been cooked. The other person's burger wasn't fully cooked either. 😕 I'd also like to point out that the establishment is handicap accessible However, there is no possible way a person in a wheelchair could open any of the 6 doors. This means it's not truly...
