Alex served us today and he was an absolutely great waiter. We have a food allergy and he was very attentive to the allergy and paid a ton of attention to how the food was prepared for us. 100% will be back again. Update: it's 2025 and this is still our go to restaurant for dinner. Mari was super sweet and Ray was very nice! Will be coming back for years to come. (Get the chicken nest, it's amazing)

Great food! Our waiter was A+ Awesome! Thanks Josh! 😁 Atmosphere...very nice, relaxing & cool, the ac was on low, extra nice on a hot day! Thank you! The background music was fabulous to listen to & the volume was low enough to hear everyone at the table but still able to hear your favorite songs playing in the background. Thank you Black Bear diner for a very nice experience! I definitely will be back (tomorrow, I'll be bringing my parents & daughter)! I highly recommend Black Bear diner restaurant with it's hearty portions of delicious food for a great price. 👍

They have a varied menu. Breakfast is served all day. We ordered the chicken pesto pasta, sourdough burger, and the bread pudding. We were satisfied with the taste and the portions were big. This is a good place for a casual meal. There is plenty of parking behind the restuarant. Our wait time for a table was 20 minutes on Sunday afternoon.

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. The menu is full of all sorts of choices and the portions are big. We even had a Mimosa and Bloody Mary to compliment the great meal. The service is always good and friendly. They were sweet to my friend and gave her a birthday treat to make her day!

Some of the best comfort food around! The servers are friendly this place can get busy at times, so be ready to wait if you have to. I come here for the biscuits and gravy, the sweet cream pancakes, the chicken fried steak and the pot roast....and everything else i have tried has been A+++! One thing to keep in mind when dining at this brand: YOUR SERVER IS REQUIRED TO POOL THEIR CC TIPS WITH ALL OTHER SERVERS/BUSSERS/ETC...so if you feel very well taken care of by your server, or can leave a CASH TIP, then I recommend doing so.... Having been in the industry for years, my lifeline often was my customers & thanks for listening!!

Excellent breakfast and excellent service from Isabella January 1, 2026. I had the 5 ounce chicken fried steak (they have a 10 ounce version as well!) and eggs with home fries and sourdough toast. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, moist inside and crispy outside. I had the gravy on the side. Just a great breakfast experience.

Good food at good prices. I had the fried chicken dinner special, my companion a burger and accompanying sides. Both cooked well, tasty, plentiful, and delivered hot by attentive wait staff.

When we first got there, the phone rang as we walked in and the lady at the cash register. The hostess answered it and proceeded to take a order while we stood there almost 10 minutes. Once we were seated at our table, everything was five star. I love black bear.

It was a great visit for dining. We were greeted and seated immediately, and service was delivered with a smile. The food was fast and hot... (not luke warm like other places). We'll definitely be back.

I love, love, love Black Bear Diner! I have dietary restrictions and they are always happy to accommodate me. Their choices are mainly comfort food, and I love everything on the menu! They do have salads and smaller servings available, but most of their portions are large enough to take leftovers home - yum!

I've often heard of Black Bear Diner, so we stopped here for breakfast. whoa!, what platters! the Grizz breakfast platter beats Dennys with a stick. Helen and I shared one Grizz and it was more than enough for both of us. Everything was fresh, perfectly done, and delicious. three eggs, bacon, two sausages, ham, hash browns, and two large thick fluffy pancakes 🥞... yeah, that's one order and a lot of food. the diner is good. we will stop again at more Black Bear Diners.

This was the third Black Bear diner we have been too, and it was just as impressive as the others. It wasn't busy when we went early in the morning, and the food was made quickly. I would recommend anyone wanting a good breakfast with good sized portions to come here.

We wanted to have breakfast somewhere different so we tried Black Bear Diner. I'm glad we did. The atmosphere is of black bears throughout the diner. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food we had ordered came out quickly and tasted wonderful. I ordered the California omelette with one pancake and creamy grits. It was very filling. I see myself coming back to Black Bear Diner next time I'm in California.

Excellent diner with rustic decor. Numerous food choices and fast service. The prices are reasonable and good sized portions. Clean bathrooms. The parking lot is not overly large but there is plenty of other parking as the restaurant is in the same retail park as numerous other businesses with plenty of shared parking

This was my first time eating here and I was very impressed! The service is excellent and the restaurant is clean! I was especially pleased with the size of the portions and (of course) the taste! Everything was sooo yummy! Biscuits and gravy 😋 chicken fried steak with red potatoes and cali omelet with bacon and cheese hashbrowns shown in pics! I recommend it all!

What a great dining experience. I am from Las Vegas, I sure hope the location here is as great as this location. The staff and the service here, was by far one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Wonderful food and very efficient. I believe one of the managers name is Amy. She visited every table to check on everyone, and genuinely cared about the customers. She took her time explaining to us about the menu and how the food is freshly made. Very pleasant lady to speak with. The employees here were the most happy, friendly employees I have seen in a long while. Customer service has gone down hill past the years, so it was refreshing to go somewhere where you felt as if you weren't "bothering" them when needing something. Highly recommend.

Our waiter disappeared. Never saw him after the food served. We refilled our own drinks. Had to hunt him down to get our ticket. I asked him what happened, he just half smiled and didn't say much. I do not think this is typical. But, it did happen.

I'm a fan of Black Bear Diner. However, that day wasn't as a good as an experience. Wait staff was not as attentive as usual. I waited some time for my meal, had to remind the wait staff for items I had ordered more than once. The chicken fried steak was very dry, I had asked for extra gravy that I didn't receive. Very little butter on my toast. It was busy but not crowed. I'll continue to frequent Black Bear because I do love the place and everyone has a bad day so that's what I'll chalk it up to.

The place is very clean as it should be considering it's a very new place. When we got in there no one greeted us so we decided to walk into what seemed like the bar area, the workers there looked confused as to what they should be doing but once we were noticed they did behave in a friendly manner, the place was not that busy maybe about 6 or 7 tables and one person at the bar but even so one of the workers kept making a comment that she was right about the place getting busy. The menu is definitely unique and can throw you off as it looks like a newspaper, I would have appreciated if one of the servers would have explained the menu, we were fine because I looked them up and figured it out. Once we ordered we got served in a timely fashion considering they claim top cook their food fresh which is true. The portions are a good size so be prepared, the taste is nothing special but overall the service was above average.

Sausage patties were only cooked on the outside. I tasted it and it didn’t taste right. I checked and it was extremely pink. We asked them to cook it longer and were told by the cook that they cooked it to the right temperature already. Hash brown was also only cooked on the outside. Two plates were criminally undercooked. This place needs to be shut down by the health department.
