Walked in on a busy Wednesday morning. Almost no seat available but thankfully a hostess, Chelsea, helped squeeze a friend and I in a small booth. I Ordered their fresh squeeze orange juice, eggs Benedict with country red potatoes, and regular pancakes. My friend wanted regular coffee with a build your own breakfast that had biscuits and gravy The food came out fairly quickly which is nice considering how busy it was. Everything tasted pretty good except the fruit and potatoes. The potatoes looked like they weren't cooked long enough and pretty bland. The fruit also didn't look promising if they were kept in a fridge for too long. Overall the main entrees are good but some more attention to their sides would be appreciated, and their service is always exceptionally kind. Maria and Chelsea made us feel at home and that goes a long way for me. read more

Been meaning to try Black Bear for quite a while now since we see them often everywhere. My family and I stopped here for breakfast and surprisingly had a delightful experience. Place is not too bad considering it's a diner. We came early so the wait was short. Atmosphere is pretty cozy and family friendly. The highlights were the hefty portions and how well everything is made. Both their veggie omelette and corn beef n hash were delightfully good. Unfortunately, the biscuit was too dense and dry for my palette. The chorizo breakfast burrito was loaded with eggs, chorizo and potatoes. Fresh salsa and fruit adds a nice touch. Satisfyingly good! Our server was very friendly and attentive, came by regularly to refill our coffee and water. Overall experience was good and would definitely go back. read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Black Bear Diner was disappointing from the moment we walked in. There was no greeting, no "good morning," just "name, phone number, 25-minute wait." The friendliness and customer service at the front felt completely lacking. Once we were seated, our waiter was actually great and was the only positive part of the visit. However, the food itself was very disappointing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and when I took a bite, there were large eggshell pieces inside the eggs. After that, I completely lost my appetite and stopped eating. Overall, between the poor first impression and the food quality, this was not a good experience, and unfortunately we will not be returning. read more

Black Bear Diner Chino - Still charged for food that has huge egg shells - American Near Me - Chino, California

Located just off the 60fwy mountain exit. Among one of the eateries in the shopping center. Plenty of parking right in front. Main entrance is off mountain facing the Main Street. Service was welcoming and friendly. Open seating at the bar area or booth and tables with a little wait. Great for larger groups to gather. If you order their biscuits & gravy it's a very large portion. Perfect for sharing. Get some extra gravy to keep things moist. Their signature house hot sauces are a trio of mild hot and extra. Dash some on for a kick. Merch items at the front pies and desserts displayed. Awesome service by all the staff. The cooks and servers were hustling during a weekend lunch rush. They're a great team of wonderful people. read more

Fast seating and clean inside and out. Service wae feiendly but slow. Waitress kept forgetting items like silverware, syrup, lemon slices, napkins. We had other employees fulfill our requests. The food itself was mediocre. Pancakes were very dough. They needed a few more minutes on the Flatiron. Sausage was dry and cold. Bacon was Cooked way too long. I always see the long lines and assumed it was really good. I dont see the allure here. Can get cheaper and better quality at dennys. read more

Food was decent. The Denver omelette was large and filling, but nothing particularly special. Some menu items are worth it, while others are hit or miss. It would be nice to see something on the menu that really stands out. For the price and portion sizes, though, you definitely get your money's worth. Nothing stellar or over the top--just a cozy, no-frills diner with solid plates. read more

Black Bear Diner Chino - Denver Omelette (1140-1450 cal) - American Near Me - Chino, California

This one of my favorite breakfast places but today not so much. I order an egg white veggie omelette like usual. The veggie were raw, red onions, bell peppers, spinach (cold), mushrooms and no cheese. The cold raw veggies were on top of omelette not inside like normal & not shred of cheese. I told the waitress she said I see the cheese I told that is egg white not white cheese. She apologized but that was it. I ate a 1/4th of omelette, it was so bad. I thought meal should have been taken off my bill but no. Waitress came back and she told the cook & he said veggie were cooked. WOW! So disappointed. I was looking forward to a food breakfast read more

False advertising. It displays all of this for 11.99. Not true! The blueberry pancakes are separate and there is an extra charge for them. Poor tactic to loor customer into thinking this is a great deal for a meal. read more

Initially I wanted to give this place 4 stars but I had a situation and it'll bring it down. The service was great, I forgot the name of our server but she was very sweet & attentive. I got the 4 piece fried chicken meal substitute mashed potatoes (10/10) my husband got some sort of burger with avocado sub fries for mashed (7/10) and we also got a banana bread pudding French toast to share (100/10) my toddler got a grilled cheese & he said it was cheesy and yummy (9/10) When I took my son to the restroom, as we were about to leave the stall - we came face to face with a male worker, inside the ladies room, cleaning. I didn't hear any knocking or any announcement of such - so it shook us a bit. I felt a little uncomfortable. He kept cleaning around us as we were washing our hands. It was not busy outside whatsoever in the restaurant so I'm not sure why he didn't just wait outside til we were done. I have girl cousins who sometimes use the restrooms by themselves and idk how I would feel if a male employee was in there with them. I called the store a few days later & they said they'd talk to the team about it but I'm just still shook since that's never happened to me before. read more

First time at any of these locations, I was invited as part of a large group. We had a table towards the back that seated our group with a little privacy. While everyone was arriving the server, who was all alone began serving coffee and water to everyone. Once everyone arrived our orders were taken. I ordered the black bear build your own breakfast with 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of thick cut bacon and biscuits and gravy. When the plate arrived the biscuits were larger than I expected and super filling. It all in was a great experience. read more

We went in after our hike Sunday morning. We were able to walk in and go straight to the counter. The service is five star very friendly and super quick in getting us our drinks and taking our order. Place was clean in our area although you have to deal with the front house noise of all the people being taken to their table. Food wise great portion for the price. I believe my classic plate was about $15. I was craving hash brown and it hit the spot. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that it came out a bit on the just warmer side like it sat for just a bit and I've had more flavorful Benedicts. Overall good experience read more

Theres either something in the water, cups or ice machine. We ordered water and it had black flakes at the bottom. I dont know if its mold or what. We ordered another water and the same black flakes. Service is good. Very friendly and attentive. Food was ok. Just an ordinary breakfast, nothing to rave about. I'm worried about those black flakes tho. I was only able to see them because i got water. Everyone else drank coke. What if they also had those black flakes in their drinks. read more

Cute décor with wooden accents and various items on display, giving the place a cozy vibe. Ordered bear's choice takeout--over easy eggs were cooked correctly and impressively stayed intact during transport. French bread was soft. However, no utensils were included in the takeout bag. Service was average, and overall, the food was just okay read more

Quick and easy. Giant plates of food with fast service. It's your typical diner style place but great for groups

Two star for the rude hostess. We were alerted that our table was ready so we headed to the line where the hostess greets. She was singing in a guest so we waited patiently. A couple came in the door as we were in line and marched behind the desk and announced their table was called. I alerted the hostess that we were waiting in line before that couple even entered the restaurant. She replied with a blank stare and continued to seat these line violators. When she came back intimated what I said and her reply was "their name is on the list." I said, mine is also. She offered ZERO apologies and started your table. She walked away and I was telling my husband what had transpired as he didn't hear what we were saying. She butted into my conversation with, "I didn't know you were in line." I abruptly told her that she is not welcome into my conversation with my husband. She walked away and still ZERO apologies for how we were treated. Terrible service and I will remember the next time we want to spend $65 on breakfast. read more

What can I say other than the service was good. The restaurant was clean, except a little mirror tagging in the bathroom. Unfortunately the food not so good. Ordered tri tip and it was really chewy. The pot roast was okay but nothing but average. Last time I was here we ate off the lunch menu and it was also average. I will stick with my own suggestion and order off the breakfast menu. read more

We took our dad here for Father's Day. Customer service was great restaurant was really clean. Our waitress was funny and very sweet. We were sat pretty quickly play star drink orders by the time she came back with our drinks we were placing our food order. Everything came out in a timely manner again she checked on us and made sure everything was OK Food was good, very big portions. Everyone enjoy themselves would definitely come back here again. read more

They made my order all wrong and when I had them take it away they said they brought me the wrong plate. my eggs were all covered in syrup and my home fries or country fries whatever they call them have a lot of onions and crap I couldn't taste the potatoes.

Great and friendly service by Claudia on a nice Saturday morning, perfect place for a cozy breakfast and it's not too busy yet at 9/10am.

I ordered food from Black Bear Diner tonight through Door Dash. I ordered the turkey dinner which came with Caesar salad and cornbread muffins. I liked the sweet cornbread muffin. The turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy and the broccoli which was also a side order were good. But the gravy on the turkey was too salty. The cook should watch the salt going into the gravy. Because of this I won't be ordering this item again. read more

Always a pleasure to dine here. Servers are always right on top of needs of the diners. I ordered a Chicken Avocado Club which was very good and wholesome. For my side I asked for a salad. Usually I have no problems with the salad. Today.... I don't see how this salad was sent out prepared to eat. The lettuce wasn't chilled, it looked dried out, and some of it was on the old side. Our server did defend that it's a mix The problem was that it was not appetizing She did get me a side of fries to replace the salad. Hopefully that the rest of the day the salads looks way better than what mine did read more

Yes I would recommend Black Bear diner in Fullerton, they have the best coffee, their omelets are huge and good, their biscuits are very good read more

Service and food needs to improve. Seated quickly. Then waited long for waitress to come over. Took a while to get our coffee and take our order. When we got our order food was cold and over spiced. Had to flag someone to ask for condiments. Overall it was not a good experience for us.. read more

Short staffed, manager should've gave a heads up to people so decisions should be made on if people want to stay. Took 10 mins to get drinks, 40 mins to get food. The food runner handed my kiddo and I hit plates with no warning. She didn't give any apologies. Customers were irritated. Some of the food was cold. I'd expect the manager to come around and check in. read more

Okay, so when we walked in here on a Sunday morning and the WHOLE world was congregating here, we figured, this place has to be halfway decent for there to be such traffic. Halfway decent doesn't even BEGIN to describe it - this place is the BOMB DOT COM! If you love your serving portions the size of your head, and for the everything on the plate to still feel thoughtfully delicious, then this is the place to be. Mom got the veggie omelette and my husband got the seasonal pancakes - both absolutely LOVED their food. I chose a bowl of creamy grits with a biscuit as a side, and I tell you, the biscuit is damn near the size of a football, so it was a meal in and of itself. The grits were perfect and the biscuit is absolutely to die for!!! Highly recommend this joint.... read more

Once again we went there around 12:30 to give it another chance and we had Mario again and service was horrible again

We're a Hispanic family of four who came in for breakfast for the first time, excited to try the place. When we walked in, we were told to wait a moment--which was fine--but we ended up standing there for about 10 minutes. Then, two Caucasian men walked in, and the hostess immediately rushed over to seat them, even though the table we eventually got was open the entire time. Once seated, we waited for service that never came--no water, no coffee, no one even took our drink order. Meanwhile, the two men who arrived after us were served right away, given coffee, and had their order taken. We watched as servers checked on other tables, brought refills, and attended to guests who came in after us, while we were completely ignored. After about 15 minutes of this, we decided to leave. It was embarrassing, frustrating, and disheartening to be treated like we weren't worth serving. As people of brown color, it felt like we were invisible and unwelcome. No one should ever be made to feel that way when they're simply trying to enjoy a meal. read more

The food was absolutely amazing and left me full for the whole day. I came to this fine establishment on a early Sunday morning. This place seems to attract many boomers; which is fine. The coffee was great and I even got some to go. The service was great, and fast. For the price you cannot go wrong with this place. I highly recommend it!. read more
