This is a wonderful Mt Shasta local started chain of restaurants that has expanded quite well due to dynamics of family entangling and marriages and everything, but they are a wonderful restaurant. Sadly they used to have the best Bacon of any restaurant ever I think sourcing a very expensive cut from R and R but now they just source a high quality cut from R and R I think in bulk but not the to die for bacon of years ago. Iean years ago as a child I thought it was the best Bacon of my life when I had it. As a site note this is one of the last places in all of Redding to get a malt So if you want a malt you have to come here. I am on the hunt for other places.

I was in Redding, CA for a job interview, but have known that this Black Bear Diner is the ORIGINAL and have been wanting to come for years, so it was no thing at all to drive up the extra hour! The diner itself is cozy, traditional, but has plenty of seating and the service (and food) was excellent, especially since it was around the holidays (12/17) that I visited. My favorite things there are simple: Biscuits and Huckleberry Shake (in spite of the cold weather, haha)! On top of it all, you cant beat the views of Mt Shasta that are right outside the doors! Thank you Black Bear Diner OG, I will be back!

Black Bear Diner is by far the best breakfast restaurant in Redding, California. It feels like a little piece of old-school Americana that I hope always remains. I love Hannah!!! My recommendation: two people should split one ScramBOWL (spelled just like that). Skip the ham and substitute extra crispy bacon—it’s absolutely heavenly. The manager, Jim, is a kind and excellent gentleman. If you order on DoorDash and happen to be out of ketchup at home, he makes sure you get plenty. Austin, the young man who answered the phone, was polite, professional, and a class act as well. Both of them went above and beyond—Redding is lucky to have them. Five stars across the board. And here’s a tip: if you order through DoorDash and spend $20 or more, you get $6 off. Delivered, it can actually cost less than dining in. What a deal!

We met some longtime friends there for Breakfast and was an amazing experience amazing. We were seated quickly, and the food was great. To complete the wonderful food, was our amazing server, Mark! We live 4 hours away and meet up with our friends 2-3 times a year. Mark was efficient and made our experience fun and enjoyable! We even included him in our traditional photo. The manager was kind enough to come to our table and greet us as well.

Was a bit busy because of Father's Day. The food was amazing especially the big daddy burger and the pot roast melt. Our girls actually ate all of their food! But, what really made our experience was our server Mark! 💕 He was fantastic!

Went when they did the all you can eat fish fry and was not impressed. However, every other time we've gone the food has been good and portions more than enough. Polite staff.

Black Bear Diners are quality fun places to have meals, especially for breakfast, lots of options, big portions and good food. We went on a busy Sunday but didn't have to wait too long for a table. Service was good for it being so busy, not great. Food came quick and didn't feeled rushed to order. All the food was good and you get way more than you pay for! Much better than a Dennys or ihop.

The orange juice, is freshly squeezed! I love how they have their menu's printed out to make it look like a newspaper with community news on the outside and the menu on the inside. It really was cute! The service was just right, not checking on us all the time but also not letting enough time go by that we think we've been forgotten. The food was pretty good. It wasn't a "OMG, I'm definitely coming back" but it definitely wasn't a "yeah, where's my check?". The atmosphere was just right. I went on a Tuesday morning and it wasn't too busy but also wasn't dead.

Big portions, cozy atmosphere, not a good place to go if you watching your carbs! Biscuits are the size of a loaf of bread! Definitely comfort food and lots of it!

I ordered the same thing today as yesterday. Club sandwich w/fries. Yesterday it was fantastic. Today, not so fantastic. Fries weren't completely cooked and were dripping grease. They packaged the fries on top of sliced sandwich, for delivery, so the bread was soggy and greasy as well. Bacon was near raw.

Went to this location for dinner while we're in town, we were seated promptly and asked for drinks. The host brought us drinks and told us our server would be over soon. We needed a little time to check out the menu, our waitress came over and introduced herself to us. She was very friendly and polite. The restaurant wasn't too full when we arrived but quite a few more tables were filled while we were there. The restaurant wasnt too loud, we could have a conversation. The restaurant was decorated in many bear themed items. They had a small gift shop near the register. Some of the staff were kind of hanging around betting on who would order what etc. and werent paying attention to the chefs. The cooks had to have the host take items to the tables because of this. Our server was pretty on top of things, got our food out quickly and got our order correctly and checked on us often. Drink refills were a bit behind but she had quite a few tables and it was understandable. Overall it was a decent meal for a decent price.

My first time visiting Black beer diner wasn’t highly impressionable unfortunately. The food was pretty decent but there were moths flying around which doesn’t seem to be the environment most would wanna experience while eating at a restaurant. Service was ok nothing worthy of another star. I’d love to give this chain another chance at some point just not sure it’ll be this location specifically.

All my adult life I've cooked my own thanksgiving meals but, this year at 80 years old I just didn't want to do it. I decided to purchase a meal from Black Bear for a little more than their competitors because I thought it would be better. I ordered it for pickup a day ahead as I'm a disabled Marine Corps vet and I just wanted to pick it up and go home. I parked in the pick up zone and called as instructed. I was put on hold and then no one ever came back. I went inside and was told to stand in line which I did even though it became painful. The place was packed. My order was not ready and I had to wait forever. I finally got my order and went home. There were two large slabs of turkey but they were half gristle. I didn't even know that was possible. I wound up giving my much anticipated turkey to the dog. My salad dressing turned out to be horseradish. The pie was good but I don't think it was home made. The crust was limp and soggy. The mashed potatoes, gravy and stuffing were good. No complaints about the workers. They were working at a feverish pitch but still remained courteous. I think if Black Bear is going to continue to offer Thanksgiving meals they should limit the number in order to maintain quality and, for Gpd's sake, buy better turkeys Update…Three days now after I sent them my name, phone number and e-mail and no further response from them. I guess they just posted their response to look like they care. Now they are sending me an ad to order Christmas dinner from them. If I wanted a meal from the rescue mission or a high school cafeteria, I would just go there and save the $30 and get a better meal. 2nd Update… It’s now Dec 8th and they have still not contacted me directly either by phone or email

I've ordered from this black bear multiple times via door dash. I'd say it's about a 20% chance I receive the side salad that is supposed to come with my order. Everyone else's sides come with their orders, but the success rate on salad? Subpar. My family loves black bear, but this has gotten ridiculous.
