Usually I like Black Bear, in Mt Shasta they have cottage cheese and fruit, but not Draper. So I ordered a Reuben. It was AWFUL. No Swiss cheese but a huge amt of thousand island dressing, meat was so old and hard I couldn't chew it. I just left it on the plate. We won't go back read more

One of my breakfast faves! If you come at an earlier time or when they open you can enjoy your meal and it's not too busy. The prices are very affordable and you get a lot of bang for your buck. The food wasn't long at all the be prepared and came on a hot plate. Tam was our server and is such a sweetheart. She's attentive, and consistently checks in to make sure you're ok. Time and time again I'll always come here for breakfast with the mom and pop feel. read more

I haven't been here in years, but I was told their breakfast is really good and to come back for that, so I did. I ordered the meat lovers omelette and substituted the biscuit for a pancake because I heard they were amazing! The sevice was fast, our waitress was nice, but I was disappointed with what I ordered. For a meat lovers omelette there was hardly any meat, it was mostly egg, and it had white cheese which I've personally never had an omelette come with white cheese so overall it was just meh. The potatoes were undercooked, flavorless, and the pancake...now that WAS good! I dont think coming to a place just for their pancakes is worth it to me, so I probably wont be coming back anytime soon. read more

Black Bear Diner Draper - Meat lovers omelette. - Diners Near Me - Draper, Utah

Large size restaurant, great for large parties. Huge menu so great choices for breakfast lunch and dinner. I ended up getting the oatmeal and ride toast. They offer all the fixings for your oatmeal and it was made perfectly. I like mine to be a little bit on the text side and not runny. read more

MY NEW FAVORITE BRUNCH SPOT!!! I can't believe they have so many locations in CA and I had never tried it. I always stuck to Norms, ihop, or Original Pancake House, but not anymore!! If you ever are starving for brunch/breakfast and want a hearty meal, do yourself a favor and order The Grizz at Black Bear. I seriously never get tired of it. The Grizz is the best bang for your buck. You get eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, pancakes, and hash browns. The portion size is big enough for me to have 2 meals. What I love most about Black Bear is their pancakes. I've taken so many friends here and they also agree the pancakes are to die for. I'm usually a waffle person, but these pancakes are the best I've had anywhere. Fresh, fluffy, and flavorful. I've ordered their waffles before, but it's basically their pancake texture in the shape of a waffle so don't order the waffle. Their display at the front of pies and other baked goods always look amazing, but I'm usually too full to order it. I definitely have to try it one day. The customer service here is great too, the waiters/waitresses are always very attentive and on top of it with refilling drinks. Just be aware it gets very crowded her during brunch on the weekends so plan accordingly! read more

It was fine. First time eating here. Honestly not sure what all the hype is about. Service was good. Food came quickly and was hot. Just kind of boring. read more

Came in for breakfast, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the pancakes were good. Our server Kyle was attentive. The only thing that surprised me... Breakfast is not cheap. I think they could at least serve buttered toast with breakfast. Overall it was good. read more

We went for breakfast with some friends, is not the first time in, today I ordered Steak and Eggs, my husband ordered an Omelet, honestly food wasn't great, it was really tasteless, the Omelet was ok. Service was ok, our server was nice but didn't serve the table correctly, she handle the drinks and food, she never round the table to put a plate correctly. Maybe is not required? read more

My husband & I were thoroughly impressed with our service today at Black Bear! Our server had 7 tables that we could tell, & 2 of the tables were 4+ people! She was on top if it! We also noticed the busser & host, who were bustling around converting tables, clearing tables quickly to try & get people in, so they didnt have to wait forever!! Cumorah, thank you for coming to wirk today....we appreciate you! Whoever manages the Draper location...you're doing a good job! read more

This is an updated review. I suggest never come here for lunch! I work down the street and have an hour lunch. We stood at the hostess stand for 5 minutes waiting to be seated. Finally a girl comes up and says ill be back. Then the manager comes up at the same time she comes back. The manager was curious. The girl not so much. We ordered immediately after being seated. Took 10 minutes for the drinks to arrive. And our food did not come for 40 minutes. The place was not that even close to being busy. Because of their slow service I ended up getting written up for being late to work. I will never come back here again. read more

My first time eating at at one of these. We had a table of 9 people so I understand food taking a little longer than normal. Pricing seems ok for the portions served, main issue was the food wasn't very good. The food isn't good, isn't bad either, a solid mehhh. Very mediocre. read more

Ok. So I talked to a few people I work with yesterday about where I could go eat on a Thanksgiving day. Both people said it was kind of a hit and miss. So I went today. TOTAL MISS. I live in Salt Lake City and I'm pretty sure they stole half of the salt from the Great Salt Lake. Every single item was WAY over-salted. My portion of turkey was smaller than to be expected. The green beans with bacon/onions were mushy, the stuffing seemed to have been reconstituted in water (stove-top stuffing would have been WAY better). The potatoes were actually recognizable as potatoes. So...why two stars? The wait staff were decent and they comped my meal which means I will go back for a second time as I've heard their breakfast items are more hit than miss. I will update this review after I go a second time. read more

I tried this restaurant chain for the first time. I ordered the chicken fried steak which appeared to be their signature dish. I got a plate covered in liquid "gravy". The patty was soaking wet (see picture). After insisting that they redo it with actual gravy and not soaking wet, it was edible but very underwhelming. The gravy is from a bag. No real flavor. The patty was obviously from a pre-made frozen facility. The mashed potatoes were made from red potatoes which is a weird choice since red potatoes get very sticky/gummy in mashed potato form. The highlights were the salad (good blue cheese dressing) and the extremely tasty corn on the cob. I would not recommend! I have to be honest. This restaurant was very disappointing since we had gotten a recommendation from a friend to try it out. We are traveling back home to Arkansas. While I listed my thoughts on the food (above) which had little positives, the restaurant was also trashy. Bits of paper and food on the floor, a table next to us was being used as a dump-all for clearing other tables. It was piled like 18 inches high. I've never seen anything like that before. The waitress was very nice though.  I think the most disappointing thing is that I actually live close to your Fayetteville, AR location and was thinking of trying it sometime. Not now! read more

Black Bear Diner Draper - Watery gravy ruined my chicken fried steak. - Diners Near Me - Draper, Utah

I called in at 8:10 to see if they had a wait / could do takeout... the lady who answered was extremely condescending and laughed at me for asking and said they wouldn't seat me. I said "oh sorry - so you're closing?" She said *very snotty tone* that "the kitchen closes at 9 we won't take your order or seat you sweetie" all while scoff laughing at me. The hours of operation are listed as being open until 10:00 pm..... Won't ever go to this location again. read more

Our servers name was Kya or Kaia perhaps, it's 1:00pm on Saturday December 23rd and their service was absolutely impeccable. They handled themselves with a sense of grace and compassion that made our dining very welcoming. The other servers we talked to were also very nice, the food was delicious. Kya should receive a raise or at least some positive acknowledgment of their hard work and dedication towards your establishment read more

We had dinner and it was delicious, very friendly service, a lot of fun stuff to look at, it's been 3 months, don't go to Draper very often, probably check out west valley restaurant, just really liked the home cooking, sorry about the late review read more

I've come to this one only for a couple years they serve the best for food prep and how it's made. Ordered the frizz eggs were raw besides the outlayer keeping the three together asked to have them replaced and I was told to make sure to ask for over MEDIUM!? What never heard that phrase a day in my life got sourdough it's white bread. They say it's sour dough and I'm not gonna argue with em but altogether service just ain't what it use to be. Had two ladies yell at service to get them seated while sitting here as well not sure what's going on. Super sad. read more

We love coming to this location even though there are locations closer to our house. With Daveo as our server, we always are well taken care of if our party is 3 or 10+. It is worth the extra drive to be treated so well! read more

If I could give this place six stars I would. Mila was an incredible waitress and made our experience perfect. Food was amazing and portions were HUGE. Walked out with a $35 bill for two people, and enough left over for lunch as well. Owner was kind and checked in on us twice. The place itself is adorable. Definitely one of our favorite stops on our honeymoon! read more

We were traveling and tired of burgers, so it was nice to get some real food here. My wife and I both got the smaller portion meat loaf and it tasted great and nice portion size. The kids meal items were super cheap but plenty of food and free ice cream. Great food, good service, at a great price for a family. The only reason I put a 4 and not a 5, is that the restaurant was kind of plain and felt dated in appearance, but we would definitely go again, and we did go again two days later at a different location. read more

I have been to the Black Bear in Bountiful Utah and the Draper Utah location. What a difference? The Bountiful location is pretty good, nothing to write home about but not bad. The Draper location, just terrible. We were there with another couple and we all sent our food back for either being cold or just not tasting good at all. I went to the Draper location many years ago and nothing has changed. Guess I have a bad memory. If you feel the need to eat at a Black Bear stay away from the Draper location. read more

The service here is great and friendly. Always open for the community during major holidays.

Excellent breakfast menu, lots of food. Clean and good customer service! We visited twice in one trip! Prices are very reasonable too!

Service was bad as soon as we walked in. The lady to seat us saw us walk in and didn't greet or say anything. After standing there for a while she finally came and sat us down. We have been to black bear a lot and we love it so we knew what we wanted within 10 mins. No one talked to us and all of the waitresses looked lost, one waitress (i would assume she would've been ours) ran passed us 5 times. No "hi" or "I'll be right with you." We were sitting there for almost 30 minutes no one said anything, as we looked around it seemed that all of the employees were talking in the kitchen, while there was a group of people waiting to be seated and not being helped as well. We ended up leaving not soon after. Sucks! read more

The fish and chips, and Shasta scramble were decent, and the fried chicken was great. My favorite thing we ordered was the huckleberry shake, it was stupendous. I'd rate higher, but we ordered a banana creme pie was obviously coconut creme, they got this wrong three times, and the coconut made my uncle sick.. please label your pies. read more

We love the pancakes . They are amazing ! Very tasty and sweet . Big portions. The service was fast and waitress was good .They only serve Pepsi products which we don't like . My husband had the the little lighter ham and cheese omelette . It had a lot of cheddar cheese . It was actually big it came with hash browns and a pancake . The hash browns are not very good as they are undercooked . I would recommend this place . read more

My family and I go to this Black Bear Diner location a lot and after our terrible service yesterday with server named Cassie, that was the final straw. We will never return to a Black Bear Diner again after what happened yesterday. Every time we go, every server is high on something, cracked out. Yesterday, Cassie, our server was high on something (it was clear as day to everyone who was waiting on her service) and she first snatched the menu out from under me which I thought was weird, but whatever. Then, she spills iced tea and ice all over our table because she was so high and shaky. She started using her hands to throw the ice on the ground which was really odd. My husband I just looked at each other like WTH is going on in this place?! Then, our lunch took over 30 minutes to get to us because all the junkies were laughing with the cooks while no one even made our food. IF I COULD ZERO STARS I WOULD. NEVER AGAIN WILL OUR FAMILY GO TO ANY BLACK BEAR DINER. TOO MANY TWEAKERS WHO ARE CRACKED OUT AND CAN'T EVEN DO THEIR JOB. SO SAD. SEND THEM TO REHAB. She got ZERO TIP. Worst service we have EVER had at ANY restaurant. The spilling of drinks and the way she handled it all and throwing the ice on the ground was next level psycho!! read more

If you haven't been here yet, you've got to try it! The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is so inviting! There are so many yummy things to choose from, so I'll make it easy for you. I highly recommend their famous bear claw, or better yet, the bear claw french toast. You haven't had french toast until you've had it in bear claw form. It's not overly sweet, yet remains wonderfully decadent. It's light, warm, fluffy, and everything you could ever want in a cozy cabin breakfast. Order it with a hot coffee or cocoa, and you'll be in heaven! They also have a cute gift shop section. I couldn't resist buying a Black Bear Diner mug on my way out. Give this diner a try! Fair warning, you might get hooked! ;) read more

The food is always good at Black Bear Diner (BBD). I have had problems with the Sandy location, but changed to Draper to find an oasis of good food and dependable service. read more

I don't know why this location is so bad. I don't think I have had a positive experience here in years. I went for lunch with a friend a few days ago and 2 of the 4 meals were bad. My friends child got a sandwich that was undercooked and tasted a little funny. My child got pancakes that were raw in the middle and came out way after the rest of the food. The service leaves something to be desired. They didn't even try to get the drinks to the person who ordered them. She came out and set all the drinks in the middle of the table and let us take what was ours. I love Black Bear but not at this location. read more

I love BBD! The sausage, bacon, and classic bear claw are my favorites. The staff was polite; obviously well-trained. A clean and inviting restaurant. I bought a cute coffee mug with a black bear on it that I love. I look forward to eating many breakfasts here. read more

It's sad that I have to give my experience a 2 star rating but it's due to the fact that I was out with my mom having breakfast and it was actually quite empty and slowish around 9am. My mom and I were both seated and were never once acknowledged or asked for drinks until about 15 minutes later. Note that there were people sitting across on the other side that were getting helped. The waitress finally noticed us and said "oh wow I didn't even see you here, my bad". We got our drinks and food and it was great. As we get to the cashier the waitress then proceeds to publicly say to her coworker, "god I hope it's not busy today." Girl, that kind of conversation is for the back room or during a cigarette break. Food: Great Service: Bad read more

12/27/22 In Draper, Utah- supposedly where everyone is trained.. the Crew working on this day was Amazing and this was one of the best experiences I had eating out.

I'll start by saying I generally love Black Bear Diner. They're my favorite all-day breakfast chain and I think their pancakes are phenomenal. I crave them. But our most recent trip to this location was pretty bad. We waited about 10 minutes on a busy morning and once seated had a great server who quickly took our order and got drinks. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. The server checked in fairly often with apologies but no explanation. 25 minutes later she arrived with free corn muffins and the manager explaining there'd been a mix up in the kitchen. Pretty much the entire restaurant was waiting on food. WOMP. To their credit they explained and did their best to get food out. And it did arrive! My pancakes were amazing as expected, my bacon was abysmal. But the server noticed and brought me another order that was slightly better. By that point I was so hungry I didn't really care but it was still nice. We will very likely return and I hope to update this review to more stars. Probably just a rough day in the kitchen? I hope so! read more

Black Bear Diner Draper - Long long looong-awaited pancakes, bacon and eggs. - Diners Near Me - Draper, Utah

I think we visited this location on a night where they were short handed or something. We have visited Black Bear on numerous occasions and this was our first experience that was less than expected. Last night we went to Black Bear around 7:00 and the restaurant was pretty busy. We sat down quickly and ordered our food but it took almost an hour for our food to come out. After looking around the restaurant, it seemed everyone was experiencing the same thing. Our server, Cameron was awesome and super apologetic. He did the absolute best he could given the circumstances. In fact, he was taking quite a bit of abuse from another customer who was incredibly rude and disruptive. She let her kids climb all over everything and the servers were literally tripping over her kids. We normally love the food and have a good experience most of the time. I still plan to return to Black Bear and give them another chance. I just feel bad for the staff last night, it was a rough one. read more
