BLACK BEAR DINER KATY TEXAS MENU FULL

“We are thrilled to not only open our first diner in Katy, but introduce the entire Lone Star State to Black Bear Diner, as well,” Black Bear Diner Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Bruce Dean said in a statement.

Menu choices comprise the inside two pages. In the Katy edition, news clippings from 1955, along with a photograph of that year’s Katy High School Tigers football team, were featured. Menus are printed in a newspaper tabloid format, the Black Bear Gazette, with local news and photographs on the front and back pages. The restaurant presented a $10,000 check to Katy High School to help with beautification efforts following Hurricane Harvey. Perhaps not surprisingly, one was a cheerleader and the other was a football player. Monday’s opening also provided restaurant guests a chance to look at signature, hand-carved bear sculptures that were designed specifically to reflect the local Katy community. Black Bear Diner expects to open its second location in Oklahoma, along with locations in Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio, as it continues its expansion eastward. Most of Black Bear Diner’s locations are in the western states.

The chain, which began in 1995 in Mount Shasta, California, is known for its full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, any of which can be ordered any time during business hours. The Katy restaurant celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting and lots of hearty food served to a full dining room. The restaurant is 5,400 square feet and seats 150. daily and is located at 24600 Katy Freeway, between Abuelo’s Restaurant and Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt. On Monday, a family restaurant chain opened its first Texas location in Katy, evidence that Black Bear Diner shares those bullish views-even if a bear is its mascot.īlack Bear Diner is open from 6 a.m. To use a stock market cliché, the Katy area’s growth has many people feeling bullish about the future. Their special sweet cream mix for their pancakes creates a flavor that's unique without being too far away from a traditional pancake, hitting a sweet spot you didn’t know you were supposed to be shooting for this entire time.Blackberry cobbler a la mode is one of the homemade dishes at Black Bear Diner (Black Bear Diner photo) When you add butter and syrup on top, you get this great mix of sweet and savory, the bacon flavor cutting through the sweetness of the pancakes in a really nice way. I was a big fan of their Bacon Cakes, which sees them tossing thick-cut bacon into their sweet cream pancake mix, throwing the combo on the grill, and serving them up fluffy and golden brown.

Of the dishes I tried, I'm most impressed that they’re not afraid to play around with the sweetness of their dishes. Although they have options for stomachs of all sizes, I do believe that their larger portions are going to be what keeps bringing people back. Seriously, the amount of food that arrives at your table will make you want to hibernate just looking at it. While the roots of the name and theme are tied to the owner’s history with bears, as soon as you see the size of the Black Bear portions, you’ll stop wondering about the ursine obsession. If more locations pop up locally, I’ve got my fingers crossed for space bears. Similar statues pop up at other Black Bear locations across the country, with most unique to their individual diner. The exterior features some custom bear carvings, depicting a scene from a bear football game. The bear fun starts before you even step foot inside.
