Big helpings, fair prices, great service staff. Meets the standards we have experienced at many Black Bear Diners in the past. Worth looking for when time to eat.

The food was amazing but not the best I’ve ever had at great customer service. The atmosphere was quite nice.

The food was great with plenty of food with the order. I really had to work on trying finish my whole order. Which I did not. The waitress, well that was a little different. We were seated got our coffee and creamer, but then she never returned to get us refilled. Never checkeded to see if we needed anything until the food started coming. Even after I brought it to her attention it was not important. We eventually got some more coffee. Black Bear thanks for the food.

This is the second time I've been to one of these. The first time was in Olympia, WA and it wasn't good, but this time it was pretty good. I had the Mac & Cheese dish, our family had a mixture of fried fish, salads, chicken wings. I'd say the food was much better than my first experience. It is sort of like a Denny's restaurant. Better, but that same feel.

Had a great breakfast Service was great. Tried their new loaded breakfast sandwich it was pretty good. The bottom bread that was touching the plate seemed a little soggy other than that it was a 8 out of 10

Came with a group of 6 for Dinner. First time.. Pot roast is great n Mashed Potato was delicious. My Hubby ordered Ribs .. he felt not much meat. Other friends were happy with their order. Service was great

Decided to give it another try despite the prior bad experience. It was much better. \nI ordered the chicken stack with onion straws. Very good and has been consistent taste-wise the last few times. …

I live in Lodi California so I went to the Black Bear Diner in Lodi California. I got a take out because I'm moving and I wanted a good meal. I asked for the Big Bob's burger it's not any bigger …

I asked the manager to swap out the green beans, they were stale, he brought me a some fresh broccoli, oh yes. Than I confirmed with our waiter, that Veterans get a discount, he said yes, when he brings the check, NOPE NO Discount, ugh.

We were on our way home and decided to stop at Black Bear Diner for breakfast since it’s one of my husband’s favorite places to eat when he travels. I had never been to one before because we don’t have a location in our town, so I was curious to try it. I ordered the Classic 2-Egg Combo with sausage links and eggs. I also asked our waitress, Sonia, to add gravy to my biscuit, which she kindly did. I also had ask for hashbrown for my side dish. However, when our food arrived, I noticed my plate didn’t come with hash browns. When Sonia came by to check in, I mentioned that I didn’t get the hash browns I asked for. She then told me that the Classic Egg Combo only comes with one side dish, the biscuit, and that I don’t get hash browns with it. I could've swore, on the menu it stated it come with a biscuit and a choice of a side dish, but I maybe wrong. However, what frustrated me, because if there’s only one included side, I don’t understand why she had asked me me earlier what I wanted as a side. I clearly said hash browns, and if the biscuit is the only included side, that should’ve been clarified. Had I known, I might have ordered hash browns separately, but by that point, I was annoyed and didn’t feel like waiting. I ate my food and we left. It wasn’t a terrible experience, the food was decent, and my husband still enjoys this diner a lot. Maybe I’ll give it another try in the future and try something else on the menu. Hopefully, the communication will be a little clearer next time.

2 Stars for the young ladies doing their best . Felt very uncomfortable and out of place thanks to the locals and their constant stares. Now as far as the food it was not so good. We had a party of 9 and 7 of us agreed we would never return. My chicken strips on my waffle were just over cooked and hard. My orange juice was served in a dirty cup with lipstick on the rim. The meatloaf is far from any meatloaf I have ever experienced and it was just not to anyone's liking at our table. The ice cream is good and the burger was also good. Fried chicken and country fried was fine also.

Have normally had good experiences at Black Bear Dinner, but must share our Friday Fish Fry experience. Got really excited when I saw online they were offering this as I remember so many wonderful times growing and going to a restaurant with Family. The fish was low quality frozen pollock with more breading than fish. The tartar sauce was merely mayonnaise, fries were average quality but not fresh fried but limp. I think the cook had a bad night as no one was supervising his food prep, but I fault management/ownership allowing such a poor quality fish on the menu. Couldn’t believe they did not purchase frozen cod, slack it out, do their own breading? Interesting, server or cashier did not ask us how our meal was. I have never wrote a restaurant review, this is my first. Perhaps with all the success Black Bear has had, they are asleep William Kramer Hotel & Restsurant Graduate, MSU Masters Business Administration

I go here quite often…a lot of the workers here are nice but many are really rude to both co workers and costumers. Also, i saw a rat entering the kitchen and some of my hobo omelette had a strand of hair

WE GOT FOOD POISONING. Do not go to this location! First off, yes I am pregnant so I did not think twice about food tasting a bit “off” at first.. however after returning home my husband got sick as well.. he spent the entire night hugging the toilet lets just say. Not only that but my little ones got sick as well.. and again.. I am pregnant and was sick the entire night to. My husband ordered the omelette and I ordered steak w/eggs. Our kids had pancakes, but did try our food as well and they were vomiting all night. Our entire family.. lost a day of work over this too. Someone is not taking proper precautions in the kitchen and it cost us our health and work for the past 24 hours. We will never go back to this place even for free food!

My 9 year old love eggs denidict! However, she can't eat an entire regular order. It's just too much for her. I asked if she could just get it Ala cart or a single order. And was told no by our server, who said she would ask the manager. Still, the answer was no. Even if they did, I would still have to pay the price of the regular order. I've worked in the restaurant for over 30 years and even opened some black bear diners in the past. Customer service has always been a top priority, but obviously not at this location! On top of all that, we found a hair in her fruit bowl. Did even say anything to the server about it!
