We were famished after our drive to the summit of Pikes Peak, so pulled up the app to find a pup friendly, affordable stop with real food. Checked in before we brought the dogs in and they were very welcoming and showed our girls lots of love. Great food from an extensive menu, affordably priced, fast and friendly service. We highly recommend Black Bear Diner on Academy. 5 bones!

We visited for the first time almost two weeks ago, looking for a few treats for our girls, since two of them had birthdays. They had a nice selection of treats, mostly cookies and cakes. We didn’t have our girls with us, but friends have told me if you bring your pup, they give them a free treat as well. The girls LOVED their treats (cupcakes). The only hesitation I’d have in going back is that the prices were a bit steep for our taste. For the happiness of our pups, it was totally worth it.

After reading reviews and deciding we didn’t want to spent our life savings at another restaurant, we gave this a try. We were greatly warmly and shown to the outdoor patio where we could choose our own seating. After reviewing the pizza, salad and drinks menu, we ordered at the bar. The food was good. Be prepared to have limited food options however. The offerings are basically hummus or a house-made ale cheese dip for appetizers, 4 salad options, several thin crust pizza or a build-your-own pizza option and a list of various sodas and craft beers. We ordered a salad, 2 dinner pizzas and a strawberry rhubarb dessert pizza. The dinner pizzas were alright. The dessert pizza was delicious. Most importantly, the staff were very attentive and friendly, and brought out a fresh bowl of water for our girls straight-away. Not bad overall.
