7:00 PM: Looking at Menu

20180212:
Note - Received 8:18 PM PT:

the cornbread was decent. tortilla soup with rice was good. country fried steak was good. the onion rings were good. the pot roast beef was dry. I didn't like the smooth texture. it didn't break apart and it stayed as a cube.

7:29 PM: Received Cornbread

Unfortunately, worse than the food, was the snail's pace service. In particular, it took about twenty to thirty minutes to receive our cornbread and another twenty to thirty minutes to receive our entrees! Overall, we spent about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the moment we received a menu to the moment we left the restaurant.

7:37 PM: Received Tortilla Soup (and Salad)

7:37 PM: Received Salad (and Tortilla Soup)

Despite a lack of data, my impression is the average restaurant would have taken under 45 minutes to deliver the exact same food and service which we received today at Black Bear Diner - without feeling rushed. Perhaps an exceptional restaurant would do it in under 25 minutes - again without the customer being rushed.

7:56 PM: Received Pot Roast Beef (and Country Fried Steak)

7:56 PM: Received Country Fried Streak (and Pot Roast Beef)

In the end, definitely not recommended under the current service.
