REVIEWS OF Bakersfield Black Bear Diner IN California

Stacy L

This place is not super clean and I don't understand the hype about it. Maybe it is just the bakersfiels location? I know people were so happy it was coming to Bakersfield but it is basically an upscale Denny's. There is generally a wait here at busy times which is understandable. I guess give it a shot, but let go of any hype you have heard.

Christian Garoutte

Food took forever to come out, then one of our party didn't get their food until everyone was almost done, then they didn't bring part of our order, then didn't fill up our drinks, and part of the order was under-cooked, the waitress spoke to us like maybe 5 times. Over all not a great trip to black bear.

jeju0041

Great food bad service. I've gone a few times each time service was bad.

Kelly Horen

Great food and excellent service

Marilu Ayala

Good foods and its the best place of you love bears I recomend this place!!!!❤❤

Isaac Sherman

When I say fast, I don’t mean fast food. This is home cooking you will come back for many times. I’ve had allot of things on the menu and they’re great. But, don’t skip the soups and desserts, they are a perfect compliment to a 5 star meal.

Serena Harris

Great place to eat! The portions are large and prices are reasonable. Lots of options. The staff was super friendly and our server was attentive. What more could you ask for? Definitely check out the little gifts shop they have, all the little bear stuff is adorable. Cant wait to visit again!

Q S

Good food but seem to put a lot of filler eg; hash browns on plates, moreso than competitors.

Janika Day

Fellas, definitely take your girl here to eat! Females might not say it, but we love good food, and this place has LOTS OF GOOD FOOD! But don't worry, the prices wont drain your wallet. Try the pancakes, and the chicken fried steak, and any of the omelets.. they're all delicious! And oh.. let her pick out a mini pie to take home for dessert

Linda Ixtupe

The food was either too bland or too salty. My pasta was watery. I've been to the Black Bear several times and the food was great but the quality has steadily gone down. The waiter however was friendly and attentive, I felt bad for him since we left a lot of our food behind.

Adam Simpson

I am the owner of 4TH Demention Construction and a local guide. This place is so great not only is the pricing more than reasonable the staff does such an amazing job even when there busy. There are service animal friendly. Hmie the Waiter there is awesome. The portion sizes are absolutely huge most of you will get or need a to go box. From a 10oz burger to a huge toco salad this place definitely give you more than your money is worth. The flavor of everything I have ordered here witch is quite a bit because I return here often is spot on I give a thumb up

Gus Zambrano

I come in for breakfast with my family Francisco the manager greeted me and was very professional and respectful, I been in the restaurant business my whole life and he handles the floor like a pro he treats he’s employees with dignity and respect. I was very happy I come on thank you Black

john fee

Have not been here in a couple years. Three of us had breakfast and all had fruit as a side. Unfortunately, we were all served melon that wasnt ripe and tough. Another plate had a raw in the center biscuit, but a great veggie omelette. Another had a great breakfast burrito. I ordered the corned beef hash, which stated slow cooked corned beef fried with potatoes. But, the corned beef was shredded and fried to the point that it was falling through my fork. I had to use a spoon and it was like jerky. The eggs though we're good. Just no consistency with the dishes. Did we hate our meals, no. But, you don't pay for a meal to skip portions on your plate. Staff was really nice and attentive.

Jose Mescuela

Has very good food. And nice people to bring the food.

Alma Cortez

Place was nice... but very super busy.... food was good but took a while to receive but waiter tried to keep us content on the wait!!!!

We planned to go to the Black Bear diner on our way from Orange county to Stockton California. This one is located in Bakersfield and it was on our way. We arrived on a Saturday morning at around 8: 00 and it was fairly empty. We were seated immediately in a nice big comfy booth. We had the usual eggs and a waffle with bacon and sausage all was fairly good but I ordered scrambled eggs and got over easy eggs instead. The service is rather disinterested but just doing their job.I have to say it's probably the worst coffee that I have ever tasted. For a breakfast type restaurant that is not a good thing. The atmosphere is sort of schmaltzy but charming cabin in the woods style and it was fairly clean. The important thing is that I would not return again. It was just lackluster food service atmosphere and the coffee was less than lackluster.

Rabbit Dead

Food is always delicious and service is always awesome...server was Justin.... His last name should be Credible...because he was Justin Credible

Adriana Van Der Graaf

Easy to find on California street. If you are north bound on highway 99 take the California exit and turn left. The Black Bear is a few blocks down on the right with lots of parking. Normal black bear great attentive service and good plain food at reasonable prices. Great for families with kids.

Bethany Houghton

Great coffee, great food, great service from the manager Noel! Highly recommend.

Perla Ramirez

Food is very good . The pancakes, waffles and the fried chicken dinner are all delicious. Any pasta we have tried is also delicious. Portions are huge so be prepared to share or i hope you have a big appetite

Sandra Deluna

Great service and lots of food. Two people can share one plate.

Jose Prado

The food is great but they always get my orders wrong, they take for ever to serve you. Staff is ok but lately they lost customers due to slow service. It takes almost 45minutes to serve you here.

Ashley Jauregui

Yummy food, smiley service and relaxed atmosphere

Tommy Hill

Tri tip was like leather. Veggies good. Service horribly slow. Waiter went on break when we were eating so we had to find someone just to get the check. Would never eat here again.

Whats Amadado

This place is great! The hostess, Melissa, was so helpful and kind. The food was fantastic and the server, Carol, was great!

Barbara Perez

Great service and food! Noel was an excellent waiter and was very patient with our questions.

Greg Pfeifer

First time to eat at Black Bear Restaurant. The service was slow do too a lack of communication, but corrected immediately. The cooks were behind due to training new employees. It took 45 minutes to get our food. The food was excellent! All the waitresses were very cheerful! Extra training would always be a plus, and in other restaurants as well. We will go back! Mr. "G" They don't know how to make strawberry shortcake. They put a large biscuit with big pieces of strawberry in the middle with cool whip which was not fresh . No juice mixed with strawberries. I would like to show them how.The picture I showed is a salad! Perfect!! I just went back for the second time. It was very slow, but all the employees were very busy. I was greeted by two very nice employees, Yessica and Cynthia. Ordered "Bread Pudding" to take home. Delicious!! Try it, you'll love it!

Steve Davis

Everything we ate was top notch... Meatloaf was excellent. My wife's chicken salad was very fresh and well put together. Portions are large!

Nathaniel Hansen

Awesome food, awesome service, friendly atmosphere. Everything is priced nicely as well.

Esther Ramos

I love black best i have been there for Long time

John Chudy

Came into town out of state, this black bear is by far the best we’ve been to. All of the food was amazing, but our server, Angelique, was great! She actually came back to check on us and remembered everything we asked for. With great and genuine enthusiasm! Definitely recommend and will be back again!

Carlos Rey

Good service and food. Huge portions and sweet staff

Dennis Golomazov

Great place. We had breakfast and it was delicious. They have plenty of seating. The staff is friendly. The menu is a very interesting read (can’t believe I’m writing this), it is stylized as a 1948 newspaper. And they worked on Thu before thanksgiving, when other places are closed!

Tommy Downie

Zulema made sure to provide us with great service and catered to our every need. Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time! Definitely coming back to visit soon!

Olena Lindsey

Great place with warm feeling of mom and pop restaurant. Breakfast menu is very diverse. We have meet lovers and vegetarians in our party and everybody could find something tasty

Nancy Putney

Today a friend and I enjoyed lunch at the Bakersfield BBDiner. 'Can't say enough about our amazing, beautiful server, Ashley!!' 'Hope you realize what a treasure you have in her, as an employee. Her happy, energetic, attentive, efficient, professional person there is what will bring us back. All of that is entirely authentic. She cared about us. Please acknowledge and give her a star in her crown for being such a dear person. N. Putney

Javier Cota

Wonderful experience with friendly service. The best thing I enjoyed was the rich history presented in all the decorative designs of the Diner experience. The menu style was original with the history on the front, reasonably priced breakfast, lunch, and dinner plates. Their deserts look amazing as well with their homemade beer claws! My wife and I enjoyed their breakfast and the hashbrowns were great!

Danny Perez

Few restaurants serve Eggs Benedict on a regular basis so when we called and they had it on the menu, we drove over to check it out. Food very well prepared, quick service and even though there were lots of customers, waiters were attentive. My only complaint would be the temperature of the food. Eggs were warm but country potatoes were VERY cold.

Dolores Martinez

Great place to enjoy a meal. Great waitress. Friendly atmosphere.

Emilee Hill

Good food, decent service. Nothing extraordinary. Definitley worth it

Bee Rivera

I love this Black Bear Diner, it's by far my favorite out of the several I've visited. I've always had a good experience here. The food is always delicious - waffles being my personal favorite. And we've always had a friendly server. Sometimes service is a little slow, but never enough to deter us from coming back. Overall this restaurant is friendly, clean and well maintained.

Steve Winfield

Great food great service. Good family atmosphere.

Rai N

In my eyes the only diner franchise which really works. It always tastes like in an old-school diner. The people working there were super nice and helpful and every time.

Veronica Hardy

When I say fast, I don’t mean fast food. This is home cooking you will come back for many times. I’ve had allot of things on the menu and they’re great. But, don’t skip the soups and desserts, they are a perfect compliment to a 5 star meal.

Queen

Maddy and Ashley were great, Maddy was our waitress and was just so helpful and great attitude, Ashley was so kind and they both had such great customer service! Love a restaurant that knows how to be professional!

Branden Lizardo

Was packed when we arrived. Said 20 25 min wait but we were sat faster than that. Food is amazing and service was fast. Staff very friendly

ReflexZ 555

Great food. Had an amazing breakfast and the service was excellent our server was Noel! He made sure we had everything and was on top of things! Definitely going back!

David Haun

Our server Ashley was awesome! She was great with the kids, was super attentive and helpful, and always had a smile on her face. Best experience I’ve had in any restaurant in a LONG time! Thank you, Ashley!

Janelle Storey

Food was great! The menu was so cute and creative. They were little newspapers. The only problem was the paper was too thin so if you get the slightest drop of water on it it ruins the entire menu. Loved the cute decor and the mini shop. Would come again.

Maggy Galdamez

Joseph was such a great waiter will be back and request him

Ruth Hartwell

Great food and service every time I go there.

Gricelda Pacheco

Love the service! Great place for a nice casual dinner with friends. Noel was a pleasant server (:

Ken Wilson

James Burch

Food is great and large portions a bit pricey

Allen Thomas

american food, yeah, super tasty. Really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, I'll be back. This place has a great feel to it.

Adonna Marsh

Black bear dinner is a great place to dine with family, friends, and coworkers. Black bear has a large variety of things to do is from such as desserts, salads, bread bowls, steak, and much more. The restroom has very clean restrooms. The area is quite large and is a great place overall. I do really reccomend black bear dinner as a place that you should go eat at with family ,friends,etc. And I guarantee you that after your visit, your experience will be extraordinary.☆♡

vaqabond

Noel was awsome!! He treated us patiently and nicely the entire time. Food was delicious too

Sissah Tram

Stopped by to have lunch in the afternoon, and Jaime was my server. Hands down the best server I've encountered! My burger was huge and delicious. Definitely worth it.

JAY G

I had such a good time with my girl here! bomb food right next to a movie theatre!

Yuseiri Rivera

Nice restaurant, food was delicious. Waiter was super nice and attended us good. (shoutout to, Noel) 5/5

Jaymi McCarthy

First time here and we loved it! Really good food and great service

Deedee Trite

Took my grandchildren for lunch today and wow, how pleased we were with the food and service! The wait staff was friendly and the food was served warm and delicious. Fantastic family restaurant.

Mayumi Gassmann

Black Bear Diner went above and beyond for service. All our interactions from the hostess to the wait staff to the cashier made us feel welcomed and taken care of. When there was a small mistake with our order the waitress was already there when it came and promptly made sure it was fixed without us having said anything. The food was great too. First time trying huckleberry ice cream and I would highly recommend. It's a warm, whimsical, and welcoming place. Go visit!

dave

Service great

frances hardin

Took grandkids for lunch. Pizza was raw and doughy, grilled cheese was cold toast with a slice of cold cheese in the middle. Ordered from adult menu and they brought a child's plate. Strawberry shortcake was a cold, hard biscuit with cool whip and sour sliced strawberries. It was dry and nothing to soften strawberries. Took almost 30 minutes to get our food. Bad food altogether

Arianna Schwind

Went it yesterday and joseph was the server he is so so great

Joel Winter

Food was excellent. The brisket tasted like it was cooked on a campfire. Service was a little slow for the amount of people in there.

Sara Rogers

If i could give this zero I would. Waited 15 minutes for a table of 2.. fine. Then got sat and waited 20 minutes and never saw anyone. The table behind us, of 2, sat for 5 minutes and someone came to take their drinks. We ended up just walking out and wasting our time. Won’t ever go back.

Maria Jimenez

The food was delicious and the service was great, our waiter Noel was also very friendly. For it being our first time we really enjoyed black bear diner. We will definitely be back.

Justin Jimerson

Worst service! 10 min greet. Our server who was new was terrible and unprofesional. He messed up our order a lot of little mistakes. Never got my soup until I asked when food arrived. Bacon not crispy as requested and no cheese on potatoes. Never got my corn muffin. No drink refills. The topper is he told us he just left a managing position at Sizzler because his exwife filled for child support and the garnish was 900 bucks. What a great first time and probably my last!

Rudy Vazquez

Black bear dinner is a great place for breakfast. I recommend getting the scram-bowl, it comes with a homemade biscuit and white gravy. They serve large portions so you always have extras for next day lunch. They also serve hamburgers and dinner items. Very family friendly love this place.

tC Chowdhury

Very good. Will be going back. Frank gave great service. The tritip sandwich was great and so was everyone else

Alisia Evans

This is literally one of my favorite places to eat. Food is great Everytime, and they have a great selection of food. I love this place. 5/5 would recommend

Priscilla S Cuevas

A great place for a meal. Our waiter Fred was amazing!! Attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, the fish was crispy perfection.

Stephanie Wollard

Great breakfast omelet, and more than enough food to split.

Ana Rocha

The don't let you go hungry they have big portions.

Monate Cortez

Freddy was Awesome had everything we needed didn’t ever have to ask him for a refill or anything he always had it Thanks for being so Nice and Friendly And always having a Smile on his Face that’s what makes us come back

Steffany Lara

Noel was really attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The environment is really nice and it was great service overall :)

Mila Lopez

Super delicious food with generous portions. Service was great. I didn’t get to try the desserts which by the way they all looked so yummy. Would highly recommended!

Genesis Hernandez

This is definitely gonna be my new spot to dine in! The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly and attentive. The large portions are what really caught my eye (I like to take home leftovers and snack through out the day or night

Joseph Potthast

Every time I've eaten at a Black Bear Dinner I've always left happy. The decor inside is fun. The staff is always been helpful and efficient. The food is very good, reasonably priced and the portions are extremely generous.

Garrison Moratto

This was a favorite place of mine, until my family visited with me. The waiter attempted to seat us at a less than preferable booth, so we politely asked to move to a different one. He agreed passively (as it was way off hours, like 3pm and no one else there hardly. We asked if he preferred we seat in a particular alternative area and he said in very pointed and passive aggressive fashion to a family member of mine something along the lines of: “Well no you don’t like what I pick anyway. You might as well pick it because if I pick it you will just ask to move again because it won’t be good enough”. Needless to say we left and I addressed him for his rudeness which he blew off, and as we left he leered in a grinning manner and gave a happy “Goodbye!” tauntingly. I am never coming back.

Andrea Roberts

Noel was awesome! He was friendly and very attentive he made our night. Go in and ask for him with a side a horse radish.. or a bowl of potato soup... LOL

Jennifer Martini

Really good! They were quick to take our order and get it out to us quick too. They're seemed to be a lot of people there today and even though they said the wait was going to be 30 minutes, it was more like 15 minutes.

Sandra Ruiz

Had a very pleasant lunch here on Monday. The staff was quite friendly and the food had great taste.

Devin McIntyre

My girlfriend loved her food and the staff was super sweet. Would definitely recommend to someone who wants to enjoy a relaxed Dinner environment.

Bryan Harrington

Black Bear was so delicious. Its located near the center of town and the portions are pretty hearty. Our waitress Jaclyn was very polite and I loved that I never once had to ask for a refill (that gets me in restaurants). She was also very sweet to my 3 year old niece who was eating with us. Will surely be coming back and hopefully Jaclyn is there to help us!

Etelvina Chavez

Restaurant is decorated and to express each holiday and gift shop is too Cute!! Love all the Bear theme throughout the place. Always great service when Ashley manages! Make sure to say Hi!!(: Love the home style food and atmosphere!

Joana Ramirez

Zulema gave excellent service and always kept my coffee cup full that tasted fresh. Food was delicious and I will definitely be coming back. Good job!

Elizabeth Martinez

Good is good and there service is good

Jeremy Taylor

My brother introduced me to Black Bear Diner when I was in Bakersfield visiting. When you pull into the parking lot and see the hand-carved bears in from of the building, your stomach will rumble with excitement! Once inside, you are greeted with very friendly and welcoming staff, and a barrage of appetite fueling aromas! Also, while waiting for your table you can browse their gift section and cake selection. The menus are very unique, they are set up to look like old newspaper articles and have a lot of information on the history of the Black Bear Diner. Now to the food! When you plate arrives, the heaping serving sizes will intimidate you, but this is what you've waited and prepared yourself for! You can do this! The rest is history as you leave feeling like a Bear that just came out of hibernation! Continues to be one of my favorite restaurants!

Crisrina Delahuerta

Despite the long wait due to under staffed, our waiter Noel was great to kind and attentive. Food was hot when it came out and tasted great. I will be returning great job!

Janie Buenrostro

Unfortunately, I was not impressed. My toast was brought dry, the waiters failed to check in with us to see if we needed anything, when we asked for butter, it took a while to get it, and we ended up getting up and asking for additional syrup instead of waiting for it.

Edith Eacmen

Great food. Decent customer service.

Angie Osorio

My experience at this location was beyond my expectations. Zulema took great care of us and the food was delicious. I will definitely be coming back when I am in town.

Sal Ramirez

I really like the black bear diners and my wife and I have enjoyed eating at these restaurants but for some reason the Bakersfield diner off of California did not live up to par. Maybe cause it was on a holiday and their regular chef wasn't in or they just need to get a better chef. I will try it one more time and if its the same I will not return to this diner again.

Ansley Hughes

Great place to eat. Great customer service and friendly staff. The food is amazing for the price with large portions. Cute little gifts by the register. Love their lotions.

KATHY MATTHEWS

The steak was delicious. Atmosphere was cozy.

Hal Oliver

Love this chain! I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience at any location. From Torrance to Bakersfield their quality remains consistent, the food and service are both reliable, and their charming newspaper menus entertain everyone of all ages. The last time I came here I was happy to just enjoy a huckleberry shake with my mother. If you haven't tried it yet, Try it! It's so yummy. And if you know someone else who hasn't either, try it together. It tastes even better with a friend.

Claudio Depas

Big diner place, huge portions but the service is a bit slow. Good enough to grab a bite, but not recommended for a romantic dinner.

Ferric Fireheart

Absolutely love this place!! Portions are huge, and service is fantastic!!! I mean what more can you ask for??? Go in for dinner and ask for Noel. He gives great service, very attentive.

Debbie Pedraza Sanchez

I went to your restaurant and wanted to wanted to let you know i was very happy with our server Jackie. She was very aware of our needs and made sure that she was prompt to serve us. I woyld like to thank her very much

Charlie Brown

The food was awesome here nice and hot. And my server Noel did a really good job

Robert Stafford

Just left with probably one of the poorest experiences I've had in years. We are from West Tennessee and are traveling through. Looked up a local place to eat and this had great reviews. Food was good. 2 of us got our meals when the waitress informed us the 3rd meal was not on tonight's menu. That's when the waitress seemed to abandon us. We never complained, guess she knew it was poor service to treat someone like this. We also never got any refills. After waiting for the check, feeling like a hostage, we finally started out. I stayed behind to pay full price and tip $5. No offer to reduce the bill. I guess that's how it is on the left coast.

Tiffany Marie

This place is so good and clean and the waiter Joseph was so nice and friendly he had us laughing will be back soon

Dinger Chat

Good food, fast service, and fun atmosphere.

Olga Timofeeva

We stoped by on a way to LA. We have never heard about this place before. But it’s wonderful place. Food was great! And our waitress, Ashley Zarazua, was amazing!

Aaron Brown

Food was good...the food runner did great....our server left a bit to be desired

carlo piccolo

Food is good. Decent prices. Service can be spotty at times.

Michael Robertson

Love the log cabin feel. The bar stools each have cute carvings in the back of them. The food is awesome and the service top notch. Ask for Jaime.

Enrique Yanes

Amazing food and service. Prices were reasonable. I had the eggs Benedict and the eggs were not runny. Now I don't know if I was supposed to ask for them runny or not but that wasn't a big deal for me. All their ingredients were fresh and tasty. Our waiter, Jaime, was outstanding. He made the experience enjoyable for us, five star service. I recommend you trying out this place, you won't regret it.

Rita L

Our family went there today for a early Mother’s Day dinner and we were really disappointed. We went for the prime rib and we got there just after 4 pm. Only three of us wanted the prime rib and after we placed our order the waiter came back to let us know that they only had one prime rib. The reason was because they were so busy on Friday and ran out. I understand but the prime rib doesn’t start until 4 pm so they had all day to make some. This was very disappointing because we love your prime rib dinners.

Vanessa Martinez

Really disappointed with the food on 07/19/19 I’ve had Black Bear diner before and it was yummy.. but this time, it was terrible. The food was cold, undercooked, and was terrible on our stomachs. They forgot some of our food, and the wait time was long for a diner they said wasn’t really busy... there was one server and he was nice. I ended up not wanting my meal because it was undercooked and cold, also they did not offer a different dish... the flexibility doesn’t seem to be there. I was willing to get something else but I just got my money back because they didn’t offer. Very disappointed. NY Calm Chowder tasted very old, definitely not fresh.

Dana Toscano

This was an amazing experience.. even tho they were busy we got our food hot and what we order. The customer service was outstanding JAIME GARCIA was our server.. he make sure were well taking care .. definitely will go back and refer ..

Juan Martin Zamora

Unfortunately not as good as I would have thought. Between wrong orders, waiting to long for our food, my Orange Juice was warm, so was my Cole slaw I just hope it didn't come from someone else's table. Normally it comes out of the Fridge and served chilled. So not a very good review.

MissP Mae

Came with my mom for my birthday breakfast. I ordered the bacon breakfast, eggs over hard, bacon crispy with white toast and apple juice. The first time my food came out, the bacon was 'regular'. I asked them to fix it. About five minutes later, my toast is delivered and I ask for my food. The plate that is delivered has two sausage patties and over easy eggs. I let the runner know that wasn't mine. Four to five minutes later, a plate is delivered that has 'regular' bacon and scrambled eggs. I ask for the manager and he says he can get my food and won't charge me for my order. I point out that my mom is almost done with her food and I don't know if I even want my order anymore. He says he doesn't want me to leave without eating. I agree to let them try to get it right. A couple of minutes later, he is back with my order. The plate was there, they just kept missing it. I enjoyed my food, when I received it. When I'm almost finished, the waitress lets us know we're not being charged for my meal. I ask her to also take off the apple juice because I never received it. She says okay but delivers the apple juice, which I don't touch because I was drinking water with my meal. When we get to the register, I ask that the apple juice be removed and it was. They made errors with my order and I am satisfied that I did not have to pay for the meal. But, my birthday breakfast would have been so much better if the order was correct in the first place. We should have just gone to Tulare.

Sadie Hawkins

We usually come to this location for dinner every other week or sometimes once a month. The past few times we have had the pleasure to have Maddy as our waitress! She is very attentive, always refilling our drinks, especially in this hot weather. She also makes sure the food comes out perfectly, all while serving several different tables at once. Maddy’s smile, attentiveness, and personality combined with the amazing flavor in the food makes it truly an amazing experience!

christine rivas

it was our first time here took my family here to eat. our server was vanessa she was awesome , very attentive, brought little one some crackers to nibble on while we waited for food. food took some time to come out but overall good expierence my family and I will be back

Sandy Morgan

The best biscuits I've ever had. Will always choose Black Bear over Dennys every time!

Danielle Villalpando

Great food. Had an amazing breakfast and the service was excellent our server was JACLYN! She made sure we had everything and was on top of things! Definitely going back!

Genaro V

Good but really busy in the am

Michael Stamper

Prime rub tonight took a friend they couldn't finish their plate it was nice and large and perfect. Cooked perfectly. The soup was clam chowder loaded with clams. It was an actual bowl not a little cup. The rest was great. The service was really good and friendly.

Excellent food and prices. Karen, Ashley, and Noel presented a grand dinner experience. Looking forward to going back.

Ray Mitchell

Very poor quality food today, all other Black Bear Diners are awesome comfort food. This visit won't stop me from eating at the other restaurants.

Lisa James

Good service. Really good pancakes. Cute theme.

Steve H

Wow! Vanessa was on the ball today. Great service and delicious food. She made a wonderful start to a great day.

Trenton Flores

Took my Mom to have breakfast here. It was good. She really liked their pancakes. I had the chicken friend steak and eggs. Pretty good service. No complaints.

Stacie Salcido

Best experience ever at black bear is by far with Jaclyn (my favorite waitress)! My family and I go in and have breakfast every Saturday morning and she’s always in the best spirts! Oh and the food is awesome

John Clinton

Great place!!! Nice and clean. The food was very delicious, our waitress Carmen, really attentive, definitely we'll be back .

Jake Haines

Love this place. Food is good and the service is good too. Ask for Yesica

javier diaz

The hostess made me feel like at home , really nice and friendly with great smile. The Rib Eye was so amazing, it was cooked just like I asked. My server Maddy was so nice and attentive she was on top of everything. The manager checked up on us to make sure everything was good . The hostess welcomed us back. Great serviceI love it

Mila Rose

Definitely eat here if you haven't! And ask to sit in Jay's section. Super friendly and attentive! Great tasting food and cute little black bear decorations everywhere

Shari Reader

This place is awesome. Nice size portions for the price super friendly staff.

Sherry Townsend

Best chicken fried steak and gravy in town! Nothing magic. Just good old comfort food... fried chicken, meatloaf, pot roast, they have it all. Cold, crispy salads, hot homemade soups and a million choices of homemade desserts. If you do get dinner be sure and ask for their homemade green beans. They make them just like your grandma did... with ham and the very best spices.

Leticia Goodman

This location was just OK. Fairly close to the freeway for easy access. Parking wasn't that great though. Corned beef hash was delicious as usual. Problem is that they were a little stingy with it. Normally these more of the corned beef and less of the potatoes. Not sure if they changed they portion sizes or it was just this location. The potatoes and peppers were tasty, just seemed to serve as a filler. The wife had eggs Benedict. It tasted good but the poached eggs were a little under cooked. The Canadian bacon seemed to be extra salty. Over all it was still a decent meal. We'll probably skip this location next time though.

Jesus Gould

One of my favorite locations for American food. Loved this place from the first taste. Service is consistently above par. The place has a good feel to it.

Black bear is always one of my favorite go-to places for breakfast. Ordered the Huevos rancheros for the first time and I enjoyed my breakfast very much. The waiter was very attentive on checking back with us if we needed extra amenities kept our drinks full and this restaurant always seems to be very clean.

Order Chicken and Waffles... Chicken was tasting like onion powder and the waffle was spongy at best. I got a side salad and asked for ranch. When the ranch came there was chunks of onion in it I asked the waitress, are there onions in this Ranch? She says no sir that's bacon. I said no ma'am these are onions, and then proceeded to pick five or six onions out of the ranch. The soup was like water and the pesto was like minced up tasteless spinach. Not going back I totally messed up and didn't help me

Like to say that my waitress Jackie Rodriguez was an Awesum server. She was very friendly and we received our food on time. I recommend anyone who goes to ask for her to be your server. She was amazing .

Zulema is the best! She was very nice and polite and had my table in such positive energy I'll have to come back soon! She's definitely the butter to this establishment!

I loved my breakfast, hash browns and biscuits were a lil over done, but everything was really good. Thank you for the wonderful service. Our waiter was super sweet.

I went this morning with my mom not very busy . we orderd a simple breckfast 2 eggs and 2 pancakes. It took 40 minutes to get our food it was pretty good but. Honestly not worth 10$

Customer service is excellent as always. The vegan beyond burger? AMAZING! Tasty with the beef flavor but without the meat. Is delicious.

I so wish there was a no star option. I had a hamburger and the meat was old. How does old meat taste hummm

This is now one of my brother's favorite diners now. My brother is 11 now and he loves this place. The service is nice and the place makes it feel sorta like home.
