What JP likes about Black Bear Diner Independence:
We will definitely go back. This was our first visit and it was a nice one. Our service was very good and the food was great and not overly expensive. Huge menu choices as well. Pictured are tuna melt with a side of chili, veggie burrito with a side of a huge pancake. The pancake was one of the best we've had in a while. View all feedback. What Tim Meuter doesn't like about Black Bear Diner Independence:
Host put our number down incorrectly therefore we never got a text when our table was ready. Get seated wait awhile I believe a manager came over took our drink order returned with coffee creamer yet no spoons took awhile to get those food came server forgot silver ware omelette was so greasy I couldn’t eat it biscuits and gravy also horrible gravy was cold not room temp but cold huge waste of time and money Food: 1 View all feedback.

I like the decor here! It’s bear-themed to the extreme, but cute nonetheless. This even extends to the exterior. The place could be kept in cleaner condition (d...
