text: When I visit an area I feel it my privilege to sample the local fare I pride myself on trying to support local business before resorting to chains but I feel it my civic duty to let the good folks that support this local establishment know that Blackbear Diner may perhaps be doing you a disservice I have a rating system that I only share in detail to those closest to my heart By such system this place is barely better than McDonalds In terms of taste this place easily has the edge over McDonalds It also has the advantage in terms of customer service but no surprise there nnBTW Support Local Business you will still find individuals who care about how you feel about their business nnOk back to my review I ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast side of Bacon I could just imagine those cinnamon rolls piping hot crunchy slathered in butter dripping with warm dark maple syrup What I got was room temperature soggy fried cinnamon bread Imagine my disappointment when my little dream came crashing down into a sad soggy reality I am sure for most people the fact that these folks here are the crueme de la crueme of hospitality service should make up for bad food I am here to enjoy my meal The staff did their job I certainly enjoyed the warm family type atmosphere Where this place fell flat for me is the food So half of my experience was missing No matter who you are or where you are in life you know that if half of anything is missing it is incomplete What was an incomplete in school boys girls An F This place as charming as it is needs to do better My advice fire the cook
