We observe surface states with Dirac-like dispersion at $\\bar{\\Gamma}$ and $\\bar{M}$ in the surface Brillouin zone, supporting recent theoretical predictions for this family of materials. We study the parallel dispersion isotropy and Dirac-point binding energy of the surface states, and perform tight-binding calculations to support our findings.
