Bob's Big Bear Burger* (1360-2400 cals.)
Starr W.

great location since it's right off the freeway! there's a big parking lot, so plenty of parking. we came here on mother's day for brunch with no reservation & it was pretty busy but we were seated quickly. our waitress was so friendly & she gifted the women in our group with roses! it's a diner so not the cleanliness place, but the food overall was super good! their menu is super unique & tells the history of the diner

Great service quick and easy, clean bathrooms and restaurant. Food was great! Great stop on a trip, really recommend

Birthday desert!!

My daughter chose to eat here for her 8th Birthday dinner. We were traveling and had never ate at any of the Black Bear Diners.. The food was very good and the service was excellent. They gave her a birthday treat and sang to her. It was a very pleasant and welcoming experience!

My dinner House Salad (60-360 cals.)

Stopped by to get a dinner salad to go. Was pleasantly greeted by Breanna once I entered. She took my order and was also going to prepare my salad to go. She did a great job in making a fresh and presentable and tasty salad. Accompanied by CornBread muffins. She included my dressing on side and utensils and carefully packed it all. Her customer service was great and i so enjoyed the salad. I'm tempted to try those pies soon.

There was a major accident on 80 and the highway closed. The staff at Black Bear was overwhelmed with people stopping off to eat while waiting out the traffic woes. It didn't help that the rain was heavy and that they were understaffed. Still, they were pleasant, friendly, and as quick to serve as anyone could expect. The food was up to Black Bear standard and the restaurant was very clean considering the crowd.

Cobb salad, BAM!! Crispy chicken tossed in Buffalo sauce!!!

The food was great! The menu has enough to offer to make a meat eater happy. A person that loves…read moreeggs happy. And other items that have milk. I saw some pancakes go by and the name "Awful Waffles" makes my VEGAN self a little envious. Happily, I had enough to choose from that gave me some VEGAN friendly option! I chose the "Triple Veggie Sandwich". It was fabulous! We loved our food server but the best part was the food runner, Braydon. Super chill and has the best "sure, no problem" attitude!

I celebrated my clients birthday yesterday!!…read more Happy Birthday, Dianne!!!! She picked Awful Annie's so she could enjoy an Awful Annie's Famous Body Mary! It had a touch of spice and was garnished with celery, a green olive, a spicy green bean, pepperchini, a lime, and a pearl onion. For lunch, we decided to order of the weekend specials menu! I ordered the Carnitas & chorizo Huevos Stack and she ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Dip... service was good. While we waited for our food, my client had to use the restroom twice. From where we were sat, it was quite a long walk, but it was an accessible ramp she was able to use since she has a cane. The steps would've been too much for her. When our meals arrived... both were stunning. My huevos Stack was not all it was cracked up to be. Although they had great crispy tortillas underneath, it had a lot of other soft foods on it that didn't give it much texture. Refried beans, over medium eggs, pico de gallo, red enchilada sauce, and not much meat on it to go around the plate to even it out. Dianne's Country Fried Steak Dip looked and tasted like it was created by someone that knows their breakfasts! Between 2 slices of parmesan toasted bread, there was a thin country fried steak, with over medium eggs, cheese, and BACON!!! And a side of gravy to dip into. That was a million times better than the huevos Stack! So I politely asked our server if I could switch to that special. She got the order in right away and it was out fast. Every bite had the perfect amount of flavor and their sausage gravy tasted insanely good! Both my client and I went home worth half of our meal. She was so happy and it melted my heart that I helped her have an amazing birthday. With the help of Awful Annie's, they helped her birthday become a home run!!! Delicious bloody Mary's, double delicious on our Country Fried Steak Dips, and fine service from the best in town! Thank you Awful Annie's!!

This was my first time here, and I have to say, this is a special place. From our waiter, John,…read morechecking on us to make sure we were doing well, to Kathrin, the owner, coming out to ensure we were having a good time, the experience was amazing. We brought our young kids, and having a whole toy section for them to play in was incredible and made our experience even better. I would definitely recommend giving them a try! it's the perfect place to bring the whole family.

Come for the food. Period. The homeade meals (and breakfast…read moredishes in particular) are amazing, they make every single egg dish in individual pans making sure they give you a quality meal. I ordered a vegetarian omlette with fruit, and received a huge plateful of food. Everything was fresh, especially the fruit which had a variety and not the usual sad melon. The omelet was stuffed with nicely cooked veggies and covered with more. My SO and brother also ordered omelets stuffed with various meats and crisp potatoes, also delicious. Coffee was average but plentiful. Alright why is this not a 5 star given the food is amazing? The service is terrible. I believe it "might" be the owner, but it is run by an angry, scowling rude woman who shouts orders to her staff. Ownership entitlement does not suit her well. I could not believe this person was even working, they were so disgruntled and gave the small restaurant a dark vibe. I truly felt bad for the young staff bustling around. I would eat here again because everything we ordered was delicious and the kitchen is clearly talented, but expect zero niceties or friendly banter. It definitely ruins the overall ambiance and I am not the first person to note this. Tip, order the potatoes they are season perfectly.

Yes. I discovered this place on IG. Yes. I visited because USA Today voted them best pie in…read moreAmerica. No I haven't been coming here for years. Yes I hopped on the bandwagon. But stuff isn't viral online for no reason.. the Dutch apple pie was incredible. Perfect even. Not too sweet apples perfectly tart. And when I went by at 12 or so today the pie was hot out of the oven. Incredible. And delicious. I also got a Peruvian marinated whole chicken, marinated hangar steak and lemon pepper marinated chicken thighs. Meats are vacuumed packed and are easy dinner options. We were in the area of Auburn coming back from a Father's Day weekend trip, and I was looking for a few easy meals to have in the fridge for the rest of the week. It was busy! But plenty of staff on hand to help move everything along. I suggest having one person wait in the car and sending one person in to stealthy acquire the goods. Also they offered me a bag of ice to keep my meats fresh for the ride. Fabulous touch. Don't be scared of the crowds and new found popularity. Go in and grab a pie and more! Loved coming here and can't wait to be in the area again to try out other things.

I've had this spot on my list of places to get around to visiting for a while now, but their recent…read moredesignation as the #1 Best Pie Shop in the United States by the USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards for 2026 was finally the nudge to get us there. I love pie & was on a mission to try theirs. We stopped by on the Friday afternoon after they got recognized. The parking lot was packed. There is a lot of covered outdoor seating, but it was also pretty filled up. The market was busy & bustling with customers & staff going to & fro. A hamburger restaurant adjoins the market with some indoor seating. You can enter & exit either door to get to both areas. The doors directly to the market only had one you could open because the other door was obscured with a display & it caused such a traffic jam to get in & out. The supply of pies/cobblers & variety was plentiful. They have fruit pies as well as cream pies in whole, sliced, fresh, & frozen form. NOTE--you can find whole pies (fresh or frozen) in the market, & packaged individual slices in the restaurant. The market also has lots of produce, dips & sauces, dressings, pickled items, wine, other baked goods, honey, snacks, store branded merchandise, & lots more! Samples of products were out & available to try, like fruit, dips, & granola. The circumstances of the award created an understandable commotion that took a little charm away from the shopping experience. The market has so many neat items to browse, but it has narrow aisles & it was hard to look around comfortably & not feel in the way because of the flurry of activity. I even heard audible disdain from another customer (my sense is a local or regular) about everyone being there because of the award. Customer service was fine. Staffers seemed busy & didn't welcome or proactively acknowledge customers. We were able to find someone who was helpful with a question we had. Checkout was straightforward with staff trying to keep the line moving. Back to the pie mission! Peach Pie--delightful fresh peach taste, the least sweet of the 3 Razzleberry Pie--really delicious berry packed flavor payoff Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler--this is my favorite kind of fruit pie & their very tasty execution stood out because the rhubarb was really present in big tart chunks, (also the fruit & veg combo practically makes this a health food, right??) My verdict-- My ideal pie is a combo of yummy filling & a great flaky, buttery crust. While the fillings were bursting with amazing fruitiness, the crust brought nothing to the table & was just bland & meh. I prefer the cobbler version because the dough brought some sweetness & flavor. We also got a loaf of coffee cake. It tasted fine, but felt like it was basically a simply flavored cake with some streusel topping that had bits of walnut & barely any detectable cinnamon. I would go back again down the road on an obscure weekday to try to experience a less busy time to shop more items. The pie fillings I tried were spectacular, & despite the mediocre crust, I would happily have more.

Happy Easter everyone!…read more Today, my daughter and I went out to breakfast here at Sweetpeas. It is located off the freeway on the corner of Bowman and Luther roads. There was plenty of parking when we pulled in. As you walk in, you seat yourself. I hadn't been here before, but my daughter has. When we sat down (table and chairs kinda place), one server got us a couple of waters while we were looking over the menu.. perfect, because that's what we love to drink. After we decided on what we wanted I got a chance to look around at the decor on the walls. It felt very family friendly with baby pictures on the walls, signs, coffee mugs along the restaurants name spelled out on the wall. It was very cute and cozy. My daughter ordered the Carnitas Omelet (Carnitas omelet with jack cheese, black beans, red onions, avocado, and black olives, topped with sour cream. Served with sourdough toast and fresh fruit) with strawberries. I ordered the Huevos Ranchero's with eggs over medium (Corn tortillas, refried beans, 2 eggs, sour cream, avocado, homemade salsa, and cheese cheese. Also served with a side of salsa.) We didn't wait long, it arrived within 10 minutes. Also, after smelling their delicious coffee, I had to have a cup! A+!!!! My daughter let me try her Carnitas Omelet. Their Carnitas is on point! It was tender and has great flavor! Her omelet was beautifully cooked, being that it was gorgeous, yellow and fluffy. My Huevos Ranchero's was crispy in the bottom as I requested. I love the topping of avocado. The only thing I would change is to get all the salsa on the side. There was quite a bit on the Huevos Ranchero's themselves and it was a little overwhelming. Next time, I'll order it completely on the side. The menu has it listed as homemade... it tasted a little bit like it was Pace chunky salsa. I didn't even touch the side of salsa that also comes in the side and I wasn't sure what the extra side of tortillas was for, but I took those home. My daughter took home about half of her 3 egg omelet and some toast. Maddy was a great server. Everyone helped each other out by doing coffee refills for all tables (not just their own), running out hot food, and helping clean up tables as people finished their plates. Great team work! We paid up in the front and we're on our way. BE SURE TO TIP YOUR SERVER FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK!

From the moment we sat down, our waiter was fantastic: friendly, professional, patient with the kids, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. That kind of service goes a long way, especially when you've got multiple generations at the table. The atmosphere is classic diner in the best sense--comfortable, unpretentious, and welcoming. We loved the pictures of "moms" on the walls; it's a fun, thoughtful touch that adds personality and makes the place feel warm and nostalgic. It really fit the name and gave us something to talk about while waiting for food. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience: relaxed, family-friendly, and full of that old-school diner charm.
