The Black Bear Diner has a homey feel, and large portions of comfort food. We had a few people recommend it enthusiastically, and hey, if you've just burned 2000 calories racewalking 20 miles, you can probably afford to eat one of their breakfasts. Judging from the clientele, most eat it without racewalking.
We were really hungry and eagerly anticipated the arrival of the food. Turns out we shouldn't have. There was not even one redeeming feature to this Eggs Benedict. The sauce - and it's all about the sauce - was way too thick and lumpy, and the egg yolks had actually curdled a bit. And the taste? Salty, bland, and tasted oddly like chicken broth. It was almost like gravy rather than Hollandaise. Frankly, Kelly thought it quite disgusting. To make matters worse, the muffin was undercooked and the meat was extremely salty. The final insult was the egg, which was overcooked with a hard yolk. Kelly should have sent it back for that, but honestly, that would have been a waste of time, because even if the egg would have been properly cooked, the rest of the dish was inedible anyway.
Despite being ravenous, Kelly just couldn't stomach her breakfast. I shared half of my omelet (which was decent) with her and gave her the accompanying biscuit, which was surprisingly delicious.
When the waitress came to ask how our breakfast is, Kelly couldn't bring herself to tell her how awful it was. We had a good laugh over that. We decided that besides the biscuits, the only thing good about this place was the quantity of food, which was honestly so excessive that even a couple of racewalkers have no business consuming all of it.
We would never eat here again. Kelly said she wouldn't come back even for something else, and that it had put a bad taste in her mouth.
1/10 leggs.
