![]() I looked up the locations, and it turns out that I had eaten in the Black Bear Diner in Colorado Springs, CO, several years ago. When I was seated, I had the thought form in the back of my mind that I had been in the place before. I was cruising up I-5 yesterday on the way to Lassen Volcanic National Park, and I saw the sign for Black Bear on the side of the road, so I stopped in to get some lunch.

I got there around 1715 and left around 1830. I got iced tea, it was strong and kept refilled. The ice cream was good for cooling it down, and adding some more flavor. It was really good, and hotter than heck when it was served. It was baked like a chicken pot pie – a complete shell, filled with peaches. It came hot, and had a largish scoop of ice cream on top. I decided that some cobbler would be good. There was also some red/purple onion that needed to be cooked more. Should have had more carrot and less celery. The plate had a lot of celery (not so good) and a couple (ONLY) carrot pieces. These were very, very good, and had some onion and a significant amount of chopped up bacon. Both roast and potatoes had a decent brown gravy over them more gravy was requested and delivered. Most of it was tender, but a couple pieces required some effort to cut apart. The only downer part of the meal came when my entree was served while I was only about half done with the soup. The soup came with a very good cornbread, that was hot from the oven, and served with warm, sweet butter. Thick and hot and not too salty, and very good. The meal started off with a very good chicken noodle soup. ![]() I drove past this diner when I was tooling around Colorado Springs Monday, and realized that I had eaten in the Diner here about five years ago. When I was driving from Sacramento to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park, I stopped at a Black Bear Diner off of I-5, and liked it.
