Our Texas Thanksgiving – Part 6 – Dinner At The Black Bear

After visiting with Uncle Clarence, Aunt Ginger and Karen, we worked up an appetite, especially since we hadn’t really eaten much before our visit. Karen recommended the Black Bear Diner that was close to our hotel.

As you would imagine, there were images and artifacts of black bears all throughout the restaurant.

The service was great, and the staff were all very friendly, serving up as much Southern hospitality as they did the very large TEXAS portions of food. Larry ordered a steak sandwich with a salad.

I ordered fried chicken. There was NO way I could eat everything on my plate, so Larry finished what he could, after eating his own meal, and then the rest became lunch for another day. I didn’t try Larry’s sandwich, but my chicken was EXCELLENT.

The Black Bear is a a small chain of restaurants, with locations scattered in a few different states. It was originally founded in California, and still operates like a small family restaurant, focusing on good, wholesome family food and great service. Nothing fancy, but it sure is delicious. Often times, simple is best. 🙂

      3. I do too. Julia is coming back. There was a time I never ran into another Julia. I started running into 20 somethings at work named Julia. Though many of them used the nickname Jules.
