A Pleasant Surprise

 When friends, the Browns, invited Michael and me out for lunch and said they were taking us to the Black Bear Brewery, well, I did start wondering what we had gotten in to. None of us had ever been! Lunchtime in a tavern....hmm.

It turned out to be a really delightful time. The restaurant part was huge. 


this is only a portion of the place. Photo from their Facebook page.

We got a nice table with a view. One of my huge pet peeves is the loud music being played in every place you go to eat now. You can't even have a conversation with the people at your table, for gosh sakes. But, it was very conversation friendly!

I like to try new foods so I chose a Fried green tomato BLT on marbled rye bread...with fries.


 It did not disappoint! And I believe the fries were the best I had ever had. My plate was so loaded with food that I had 3 meals out of that food. It just kept on giving.

You just never know how trying a new restaurant will turn out but this one we rated a 10.

  3. It looks delicious! I agree about the noise. My head always hurts when I try to talk and eat when it is so noisy! Beautiful picture of you, my friend!

  4. What a clever menu dish! I do wish more eateries would "color outside the lines." That said, I had something new and novel at First Watch today called a chickachanga (sp?) ... delish!
