    Went to Black Bear diner to celebrate hubby's birthday. Breakfast is the best. We were greeted when we walked in. We were seated right away and the hostess took our drink order. Our drinks were brought quickly. Our waitress arrived shortly after our drinks and took our order. She followed up with us during our meal and was friendly. Our food came out quickly. It was hot and the portions were perfect. The food was tasty. It is fun to see all the bears decorating the restaurant. The restroom was clean.

    I took advantage of the Black Bear Diner Birthday Club Reward and ordered the Bear's Choice Breakfast. I ordered two scrambled eggs, upgraded to two round sausage patties and French Toast. My wife ordered the Little Less Dinner Bear Paw Chicken Fried Steak. My eggs were nicely scrambled, thyme seasoning in the sausage was a bit overpowering and the toast was very good, crisp on the outside but moist on the inside. My wife's chicken fried steak tasted more like hamburger, mashed potatoes with gravy was tasty and the string beans with bacon tasted more like string beans out of a can. I enjoyed my meal and I thought my wife's meal was okay. Staff is nice and they are quick and prompt. I like the food and will be back to try the other items in the menu. Good restaurant for families and there is something for everyone.

    Black Bear Diner is my favorite restaurant chain in America. With more than 150 locations spanning 13 states and more coming, it is one of the fastest growing chains in the restaurant business. The Danville location is situated near the I-680 Sycamore Valley Road exit, directly across from the Rose Garden Shopping Center. I met up with George F. here for brunch on 01/19/2025 at 10am. Upon entering, we were greeted and quickly seated at a booth on the left side. The interior was very clean. Decors were similar to other Black Bear locations. Our server got us started with a couple cups of coffee while we decide on what to get. After a few minutes of deliberating, George got the Rueben while I opted for the Joe's Hobo Omelette. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes. My omelette was delicious. It was loaded with three types of meat, cheese, and spinach and the eggs weren't overcooked. I requested my hash browns to be extra crispy and they were cooked to my specification. Everything was to my liking. Service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Coffee was refilled on multiple occasions, and our requests were promptly fulfilled. Prices here were less expensive than other breakfast spots in the area. All things considered, I think a 5-star rating in this case is justified. I will return. BONUS MATERIAL: - Plenty of parking on site.

    Right off the Sycamore exit on 680 this diner has been a staple in the area . Great service and more than enough food for those hungry bellies . Ordered a Rueben sandwich with fries and a Bear's choice breakfast 2 eggs over hard 2 sweet cream pancakes , and 2 Italian sausage patties for additional $1.99 More than enough in the early morning afternoon . Martha was the shining light of the entire meal . Cheery , smiling , and so accommodating . Great breakfast experience . Love these homey type places ..... true comfort

    lettuce wrapped burger and cold slaw

    Well, I was less than impressed tonight. Before I give a very honest review I do feel like Black Bear is a place for breakfast and that's really it. With that being said my little guy wanted "panpakes" as he says so I obliged. I will be doing another review of just breakfast because I do think they have great options. Tonight my kiddo loved the mini volcano per usual. It has pancakes, sausage, eggs, and a piece of bacon. Everything was gone! My mom had the pot roast. She said it was a nice smaller portion but overall flavor was sub par. I had the california burger lettuce wrapped with cold slaw. The burger was ok but needed some sauce. The cold slaw was not good. It was dry and had no flavor. I was honestly shocked by this and do not recommend ordering it. Overall, we still love black bear. We love the diner feel and all of the cute merchandise. The service is always great and everyone is so kind. We look forward to coming back for breakfast.

    Double pancake!!

    Don't understand low star score. Solid, All American diner food with generous portions and amazing service. Ordered vegetarian omelet with a pancake. Order came and was great. A few minutes later, they came over with another pancake because staff felt first one was undersized. Thanks to our waiter Ray and the staff!!

    Holy moly, the portions are huge! You definitely won't leave hungry. The menu is extensive, the staff is professional and efficient, and the food is tasty. I loved the vibe of the whole restaurant - imagine Great Wolf Lodge mixed with Bob Evan's.

    They have some huge biscuits, but I don't think they're traditional biscuits.

    Black Bear is my go to with my friend when we want to meet after 9pm, ugly, in jammies, and possible crying! The privacy afforded at this BBD is awesome. The food is not stellar but it does the job for a crying fit. I didn't love the biscuits. They were huge so I was so excited but they had NO TASTE! It was really sad. However the hot chocolate with a heaping amount of whip cream and the buttery English muffin is able to soothe the soul.

    I needed some dinner quick and I checked the GPS and this Black Bara came up nearby. I've had pretty good luck with Back bear in the past, so I decide to come here. The inside looks similar to all the other Black Bears, you'd expect that with a big chain like this. The server was over ight away and took my order. I've seen the fish and chips on the menu before, but never had it , till now! It arrives with 3 pretty decent sized fried fish pieces. It's some whit fish, not sure which one, pretty sure it's not halibut though. It's probably pollock I think. It came with a big pile of chips (fries in American!) It included coleslaw and a salad. The salad was decent and had good tomatoes. The house 1000 island dressing was good too. The coleslaw was a bit too wet for my taste, but it is what it is here, I'd get more fries instead of the coleslaw. Overall it was a good experience and I'd come back.

    Eggs Benedict and a beautiful presentation. Not as tasty as it looks.
    S B.

    My first time here. Great attentive & friendly service the whole meal. I liked the coffee a lot. I ordered an eggs benedict and the presentation was impressive. A lot of food. The first few bites were delicious poached egg, English muffin, & bacon. Then the next bite wasnt good, a slightly off flavor. It was the thinly sliced tomato. Not sure why it tasted bad but I lost my appetite. Probably most diners would be ok with it, but the tomato off flavor ruined it for me. Sadly it went into the green waste can later. The fruit cup was not fresh.

    Homemade Crispy Onion Topped Meatloaf
    Alden M.

    It was my first time eating here, despite there being A LOT of locations nationwide! Their menu is extensive, which I love. I had their "light" meatloaf plate, which was actually a good size with 2 sides for just $12. Everything tasted great! I was full but their dessert menu kept catching my eye! I had the brownie with huckleberry ice cream & it was delicious! The server seemed to be new but he was a nice kid. The restaurant was nice inside as well. I'd definitely come back again for breakfast, which all Yelp reviews said is what they're known for!

Salmon crepe: 4/5- this came with a salad with light dressing. Crepe itself was slightly crispy with a nice mixture of salmon, spinach and egg. Good combination. Added Tapatio for some heat. Menu did say it was spicy but didn't pick up on that. Shibuya Honey Toast: 5/5 - I was intrigued by the name and picture in the store. When it arrived, it was presented nicely with chocolate and vanilla ice cream with blueberries and strawberries around the plate. The Honey bread itself has a nice crisp to it with the right balance of sweetness to it. My wife and I devoured this. Definitely recommended. Overall, this was a great spot if you are craving crepes.

It was so cute I had to take pictures of the actual inside of the restaurant. The workers were incredibly kind and the service was quick and also amazing as well. The overall ambiance of the place was amazing and it's perfect for pictures!! I got the honey toast and the strawberry milk float -- and both were amazing and worth the whole experience. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat something whether it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or dessert. The quality of the honey toast was unlike anything I have ever had before. It was life-changing and also served beautifully. I can't believe I've gone my whole life without having the honey toast from here. The strawberry milk float was perfect and complimented the meal so well. I actually don't believe that I could ever get better service or better toast from somewhere ever again. Whenever I need to satisfy my toast cravings I will always come here and only come here. I would work here if I could because of how amazing this place is and how friendly everyone was. I hope this place opens up more locations and soon, because it's not possible for this place to be so hidden when it's just that good. Overall I really love this place despite only finding about it recently and having it one time so far, and I just think that this restaurant is doing everything right when it comes to food and quality. Keep it up and I know I will be coming back soon!

I am vegetarian and have eaten at many vegetarian restaurants over the years. I would confidently say that Blossom and Root is the best vegetarian restaurant in the Bay Area and it may be my favorite restaurant hands down. Food: Key to a great restaurant is consistency.

I have tried the Smash burger, yellow curry, Mediterranean bowl, french toast, pancakes, chilaquiles, breakfast burrito and several other dishes.

It was about 1/4 cup quinoa and millet and more tangerine oranges than grains. Look at the difference of portion sizes from our experience vs Yelp photos. I felt this was inadequate and asked for more grains. I got a 1/2 cup of extra quinoa (only). Tofu scramble and pancakes (adult and kid versions) were good. The server tried to insinuate that the adult pancakes weren't enough, but they were more than enough. We also ordered one orange juice for a child (paper cup with a copper straw jammed through the opening) and hot tea. Honest review, it was overpriced and moderately good. I would not return; quality and value for 3 adults and 1 child was not worth $100+ including tip. Hope they consider my feedback to improve; this place has great potential.
