Black Bear decor has a rustic motif with "over-the-top bear paraphernalia." Every restaurant is decorated with a black bear carving by artist Ray Schulz. Additional murals and artwork are created for each restaurant by Steve and Gary Fitzgerald and Colleen Mitchell-Veyna. The menu format mimics an old newspaper titled The Black Bear Gazette, with articles on the front page. It offers family meals such as breakfast, burgers, salads, and shakes. Baked goods prepared on site are offered, and some locations offer alcohol sales.
