Black Bear Diner Colma Reviews
Stumbled upon Black Bear Diner this morning doing some errands, and man, what a happy accident—it's like the universe said, "Hey, skip the sad greasy spoons and treat yourself!" Lodge Vibes Indoors Walking in feels like teleporting to a cozy Minnesota lodge or Branson cabin, complete with carved bears, neon jukebox glow, and that "Welcome" sign begging for selfies. Staff couldn't be friendlier, plenty of space at the bar or tables, zero wait time—perfect for us impatient folks. Monster Portions Grabbed the classic two-egg ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and a fluffy biscuit; portions were bear-sized, easy to split if you're not starving solo. Fluffy eggs loaded with ham chunks, melty cheese, crispy taters—no skimping here, and that biscuit? One way ticker to Buttery heaven: $18! Spotless and City Escape Super clean everywhere—even the ketchup bottles look factory-fresh, no crusty remnants from yesterday's crowd. Great urban hideaway for all-day breakfast, lunch, or dinner; I'll be back soon to tackle more from that newspaper-style menu. Honest 5 stars—filling, fun, and zero regrets!
My long time friend David and I had brunch at Big Bear Diner, Colma. Steve was our server and he did a great job. We both enjoyed egg omelets and Steve kept filling my coffee. It's a nice family atmosphere and we strongly recommend visiting Big Bear Diner, Colma soon. Thank you!
The service was amazing and my waiter was on point from service to recommendations on the menu. The Diner was very clean and the food was delicious. We ordered the Pot Roast meal, Chicken Club sandwich and the tri tip sandwich. All of it was great. The only thing that was not that great was the corn bread muffin. It was too hard. But other than that I'd give it 100% recommendation to eat here. It was 3 of us and I tipped. I still didn't pay over $100. My tip was $18.25.
My 1st time dining at Black Bear and I was very pleased. The food was delicious. Our waitress, Raquel, was wonderful and pleasant. I didn’t get nauseous like other diners that use lard. Impressed with the size of my order, when most businesses provide less of quality and quantity in their service and product.
On October 17 at noon I had lunch at the Colma location. I ordered the Bacon Cheddar Cheese burger. I thought it rated as the best bacon cheese burger i have ever had in my 75 years. First of all the bacon was done to perfection. It was not greasy and not over cooked. The bacon had great flavor. It was two large slices that where placed in a cross over the burger and cheese. I folded the overhanging pieces back on the burger and I had bacon that lasted in every bit. I think that was the part that made it so good. I love bacon and this was bacon at it best.The burger was done just the way I like it. Because my husband and I were celebrating the 39 anniversary of our first meeting, I celebrated with a Brownie Sundae for desert. If I had any criticism it was that the brownie might have been a little under done but the ice cream with the whipped cream and cherry on top made it just incredibly good. The meal was great. This isn't the first time we have eaten here but it will not be the last time either!!
This is the most decorated Black Bean dinner I have been in. The kid in me is having too much fun with the decor. If you have never been to a Black Bear before, start with a bear claw pastry and wash it down with a mug of black coffee. Delicious. It will get your appetite going for the main course.
The decoration at this location would be a hoot if you have little kids. I hope all the locations get the same updated decor, the little kid in me had fun. Unfortunately I didn't get an opportunity to try the bear claw to compare it with my local Black Bear. My go to dessert (and sometimes appetizer) is the bear claw + black coffee. Awesome combo.
Came here the 1st time with a friend for brunch or late breakfast the other morning. The best part of this place is the bear themed decor. It is a lot of fun. I was warned by my friend that the portions are large so I might get a smaller plate. I got an egg and ham steak while my friend got what was called a volcano or a big plate. Everything was pretty good. The biscuit was tough to eat though. A very rustic atmosphere..or you feel like you are going camping. It's a casual atmosphere. Staff was friendly and efficient.
Black Bear Diner is a fantastic spot for delicious breakfast surrounded with cabin-style décor, complete with bear-themed trinkets, added a touch of charm and warmth to the dining experience.
Waiter Steven is patient and lets you decide without rushing your order. I have dined here several different times and I have had him as my waiter. The cinnamon roll french toast breakfast was good, especially after fasting. Their pancake breakfast is amazing too!

Amazing as always, black bear is a classic American breakfast spot that deserves to be tried!
They are super friendly, and the food is good, but used to be better and bigger portions. The carpet needs to be replaced very badly. The decor is cute but the carpet smell and the change from oldoes to country music has made it a less fun experience.
I ordered sausage and scrambled eggs, hash browns, English muffin and an orange juice. The hash browns and English muffin was a little over cooked, but that's easy to fix. My fault for not specifying my wants. The service was on point, staff was friendly. I took my mom out to breakfast and she had the Shasta Veggie Scramble. That looked really good. I'm going with the muffin next time. Great place to take family and friends.
Black Bear for breakfast is the place. There is a large selection of different dishes available. Read the menu carefully. Servings are very large. It would be nice if there were a Senior discount. Black Bear Restaurant is wheelchair accessible there is plenty free parking. This restaurant is nice & quite durning the week. Weekends there is a long wait line. Great customer service though and though. Yes I will return to Black Bear.
This is my husband’s go-to spot for Country Fried Chicken—and now I get the hype. The restaurant was packed, but our server got us seated right away m. Portions here are massive, so I went with the Caesar Salad with Salmon. Husband of course ordered Country Fried Chicken. The salad? Light and crisp with the perfect amount of dressing—just how I like it. The salmon could’ve used a little more salt and pepper, but hey, it still hit the spot. As for the Country Fried Chicken? No notes. Crispy, juicy, and as dependable as ever.
I have been here many times mainly in the morning when I am craving for some breakfast. As you enter the diner, the interior has bear and zoo theme decorations. During Covid, the interior dine in was unavailable and they only had outdoor seating that was located in the parking lot. Nowdays the dine in is back open and you can enjoy without the cold weather. Their menu consists of breakfast platters, sandwiches, omelettes, drinks and much more. Everything is made to order which is always a plus for me and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. The staffs here are welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never encountered an issue during any of my visits. I recommend this place to all breakfast lovers, if you have a hungry appetite or to anyone looking for a laid back spot. I might be back in the future to tryout the other options they have to offer.
My husband and I went on Valentine's Day for the first time. The atmosphere is fantastic! The food was delicious, and the portions sizes were huge! The gift shop area was small and cute (I wish they were selling miniature bears). The only downside was that the pricing was very high.🤯😱 So much so that we might come back only for very special occasions and not on a regular basis, which is a shame.

I always thought BBD was in the same league as Denny's or IHOP. Casual ambiance and very informal. However hubby & I've been frequently BBD numerous times over the last year. I guess we've become c…
Our family ordered breakfast items and not worth for the price. My scrambled eggs are so dry.
Came here for breakfast. Ordered the volcano and it looked like it was good for two people. The service is friendly and attentive. The ambiance is a casual cabin feel. Convenient parking outside. N…
I have never had worse hash browns in 55 years (thus far) of life. I'm not sure but under cooked hash browns that are brown in name only might only be considered tasty if you're starving to death. As…
Service is good. Had the Friday fish fry. I think the fish at long John's silvers is better. It's just a basic diner like Dennys and IHOP. Alot of options and good size portions and affordable. Maybe id try again for breakfast
Black Bear Diner is a great place if you want that back in the days Denny's Feel. Decent food if you want to feel disgustingly full. Very kid friendly. I had the chicken fried steak but felt too much gravy ruined the taste of the meal, Because that's all I tasted was the gravy.
As you know, this is a chain restaurant, the food quality is very stable, but not delicious, but it is suitable for family gatherings and you can stay for a long time. The service is friendly and the portions are large. Chicken fired steak $28 - 2 dished , muffin , salad Sourdough cheese burger $22.45 was pretty good Chicken N waffles $22 , but pancakes was too thick , heavy and dry
Parking: a lot of free parking. Cleanness: seats and tables are pretty clean. Don't see any flies in the restaurant. Food: I personally prefer a light taste. the salmon is good but the pasta is a little oily. Meatloaf is a little salty, maybe it's right for others. The restaurant has its own dipping sauces. People should try it if they go.
I ordered the 4 pieces fried chicken (crispy) my chicken was burned way too fried (overcooked) more like chicharron hard to bite. When I complained I was offer to have the chicken replaced to be cooked at a lower temperature the waitress claimed if they cooked that way the chicken. Could be rare in the inside so I said let me keep it. I kind of took the xxxcrispy apart there was not a lot of meat on them. I didn't eat it. You would think the manager would come over to apologize for the meal BUT nope not even offer to take the chicken. Off my bill. I'VE ORDER THE SAME MEAL BEFORE IT WAS NOT burned. NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN.
The reason of my 2-star rating is due to the service. The waitress appeared to be in a rush since the moment he showed up at the table. Even though there was no delay for.our order he did not asked if we want to small size for our kids’ drinks. That a usual question/suggestion in other places. Also, for my drink(beer) the glass that he brought came with WATER! Like is was just washed and not even dry. Also, when my wife made her order, she was planning to order the soup as a side, but he said, and I quote: “I don’t suggest you the soup. They made it and it's too watery”. Probably he was having a rough day, who knows? However, talking and acting like that that does not leave a good impression in the customer’s perspective.
There was no one up front when we walk in. The place was slow so it was the midweek afternoon social hour. The 2 tables full of dishes were like this untouched the whole time we were there for our meal. We had to wait about 10 minutes for server to greet us and take our order. It was another 20 plus for the food to come out as the only order in place at the time. Top priority was the staff social standing around at the end of the counter eating cheesecake. When customers left there was a young lady rushing to clean those tables. The food was good, and our server was nice. I didnt see a manager out front during our visit. We were there close to an hour this afternoon on a slow day. BBD71

Worst breakfast meal ever. Way over priced for food the that was served. I have eaten there in the past but never again nor would I recommend this place to anyone.

Yesterday me and a friend had lunch at Black bear diner in Colma, my friend had the breakfast with the chicken fried steak and biscuits e said it was okay. I had a hamburger with avocado and it was the worse hamburger I have eaten in a very long time small very thin burger Berger King and McDonald’s are much better. I haven’t been to Black Bear Dinner in a couple of years and they used to have one of the best hamburger I ever had and used tell all my friends about how delicious they were. The reason I went to Black Bear diner today was because I seen the commercial on TV about the $14.99 breakfast that they served all day but the waiter said that was not available today. What happened to this restaurant ? I won’t be going back
Food was unappetizing terrible and cold. Service was just as terrible. The server never once checked on me after taking my order. He forgot to bring my drink. So ate with nothing to drink. He didn't even show up after my food was dropped to see if I needed anything. I didn't get syrup with my French toast I had to ask the person who brought my food. My server Looked irritated to be there. The experience was horrible. I definitely wouldn't recommend going to this location.
