text: After running a K it is always a good idea to fill up on some heavy carbs fat and protein It is the best excuse I have to pig out and feel only a fraction of the guilt Black Bear was a great experience for us hungry runners We brought out appetites and they satisfied us with no room to spare The platters of food came out quick and heaping The Original bear claw pastry is great to share just make sure to eat it before it cools which will be no problem at all The coffee is actually drinkable without adding heaps of sugar and cream not what you would expect from a franchise traditional diner The mugs were so cute I wanted to take one home which I am sure I could have since they sold an assortment of Black Bear memorabilia also For five people the bill was just over which is a value I had the homemade Italian spice sausage patties that were made crisp and savory while the rest of the group had granola pancakes the Volcano of pancakes and eggs and fruit platter Everyone was satisfied full and ready to hibernate the day away
