    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.

    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.

    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!

They have a fish option and also carnitas! I had one of each - I saw someone else with an order of onion strings that looked amazing (perfectly fried to a crispy golden brown) but I went with garlic fries instead. I ordered them extra crispy with extra garlic. The fries are handcut so they are in between a skinny fry and thick fry size. You find pieces of both sizes. Everything was excellent!! My friends ordered a basket of tater tots with jalepenos battered and fried. I had some of these and they were really good also. Decent prices ($3 for tacos, fries were about the same) They have fountain drinks but I ordered from the bar.
