OGF: 3/5
Upon entering Black Bear Diner, you may feel as though you’ve been transported out of the software developer cultural epicenter that is Redmond and straight into small town American West. A chain started in Mt Shasta, California, the Redmond location certainly exudes the National Park family restaurant vibe. Surprisingly given its proximity, it doesn’t seem to be frequented by many Microsoft employees, but rather a selection of the plaid button down shirt types.
Taste: 3/5 – Typical American restaurant food with burgers, sandwiches, salads and breakfast served all day. Many of the entrees have a California twist, often by incorporating avocado in some way. Most of us opted for the breakfast options and were not disappointed.
Price: 4/5 – Undiscounted prices are what you’d expect, however recently they’ve started offering a generous 20% prime card discount.
