On The Menu: American Cheeseburger with Fries (in a basket)Īs you can see, the burger and cheese were presented on the basket, not on the paper, which may sound particular (and it is) but it’s important for some customers (like us).

Our waitress had worked at the previous restaurant CoCo’s in the same location, which had closed long ago.Įverything was new and “fresh” with the familiar decor that is part of their brand and a constant throughout the chain. When we asked how long they had been open they told us almost three weeks. We were seated immediately by a young host/cashier and greeted promptly by our waitress (or female server if you’re particular about the job title). The counter was empty and we chose to sit at a table at the back of the main dining room where it was quiet and there wasn’t any waiter traffic. There were people at about 40% of the tables and they were mostly finishing up. It was late and after the dinner rush and not very crowded at all. We pulled right into the parking lot and started taking pictures for this Blog Post. We were so happy to see a Black Bear Dinner in the Valley and to have an easy decision on where to eat dinner. ![]()
