We love Black Bear Diner. Their food is usually good, striking a balance between a chain restaurant and a home-cooked feel, and it works for us. It's affordable and consistently tasty. I'm leaving this review because our waitress, Maria, was fantastic. She took excellent care of our family, was attentive, and handled any issues with the meal without hesitation. She was detail-oriented and made sure everything was taken care of. If you visit Black Bear Diner and happen to get her as your server, you'll be in good hands. read more

Wow those aren't normal biscuits! They could be a whole meal on its own! The ambiance is so cozy and we love the bear theme and bear plushies. My wife and are pretty picky about breakfast. And we were blown away by how good this food was. My wife is from Georgia and always critiques the grits wherever she goes and says they aren't authentic. And she loved these grits! I especially loved the sliced ham! It was excellent! Our server was attentive and kind. We will be coming back! read more

We ordered Thanksgiving plates from Black Bear Diner through Uber Eats, and to be honest, our expectations weren't very high. Holiday meals delivered can be hit or miss. But wow were we ever wrong. Everything about this meal was spot on. The turkey was tender, the sides were flavorful, and the portions were generous. Even after traveling through delivery, the food held its quality and tasted fresh. And let's talk about dessert: the pumpkin pie slice was not only delicious, but healthy-sized too no skimping here! It felt like the kind of hearty, comforting holiday plate you'd expect if you were sitting inside the diner itself. Black Bear Diner didn't hold back, and we'd absolutely order from them again. A Thanksgiving win, delivered right to our door read more

This place is AWESOME!! Such cute decor, great music (but not too loud) & great service by Maria! Let me tell you about the food!!!! Mom had the Volcano (subbed a sweet cream waffle for the pancakes). It came with eggs, link sausage (best we've ever had) & bacon (tastes like it just came off the smoker!). I had the Bread Pudding French Toast...with bananas & pecan praline drizzle and fresh fruit on the side. Pull up a chair & prepare for the BEST thing you've ever tasted!! The entire experience was above the 5 stars we could give it!!! read more

My family and I have eaten at Black Bear Diner multiple times, and we've consistently had a great experience. The service is always fast and friendly, and the food has been delicious every time.

Whether you're craving breakfast, comfort food, or something hearty and classic, they've got you covered. Definitely check them out! read more

We had a delightful dinner tonight at the Black Bear Diner. There's a Big welcome Bear for photo ops, a souvenir store for bear claw house shoes, paw gloves, stuffed animals, t-shirts and more. We were seated promptly; there were 5 of us, Makenzie was great, very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean, with an outdoor camp feel. Their menus are on newspaper which is cute. We ordered the turkey club, 2 cheese burgers, chicken & waffles and a breakfast special with sweet cream pancakes. Everything was fresh and delicious. read more

I started outside. I enjoyed the design of this place! It definitely has its own thing going and makes you feel like you are in a diner in the mountains. Lots of real wood logs around the trim and furniture. It was very simple and made you feel like you were at your grandparents house eating breakfast. I got the Creamy Vanilla Iced Cold Brew and it was average. It got the job done, but didn't blow my socks off. I didn't expect them to specialize in coffee anyways so I'm not upset. Lastly, the food was great! I ordered Joe's Hobo Omelette & I was pleasantly surprised by the portions! They were massive! Shoutout to my server, Brianna! She was on top of it and very friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was so happy when black bear opened because we had them back home and really missed them. The food is the way we remember, generous portions and really hit the spot. Fast service, and friendly service. This is 40 minutes from my house and very much worth the drive. Love the atmosphere, the woodsy vibe is one of my favs. read more

Great service and a surprisingly great meal. It reminds me of a better version of IHOP. Not sure I would come here often, but it would definitely be a place to bring out of town guests, as the menu is large enough to accommodate all tastes and preferences. read more

Had a great lunch here at the Black Bear Diner. The atmosphere is like a cleaner greasy spoon diner. The waitstaff are super friendly and easy to work with. For lunch expect a little waiting time before seating, but then again it's the luck of the draw. The lunch we had was great! And the portions are plenty. I ordered the chicken nest, which is new in the menu. Which is chicken breast in Hollandaise sauce, and onion straws which was excellent. Came with good broccoli and what tasted like real mashed potatoes and white gravy. My wife ordered the "bear paws" which looked like a chicken fried steak, with the same sides I had. Both were very delicious. Like I said the server was attentive and quick to refill our drinks and get our bill ready. Overall a great experience for locals and visitors alike, highly recommend! read more

Very cool decor, like a lodge, comfortable seating. Interesting and variety on the menu for all different tastes. It is a diner, not a 5-star Michelin restaurant. It does what it does very well though. Friendly attentive staff. Great location easy parking. Like the Terminator "I'll be baaack!l lol! read more

Black Bear Diner Fort Worth Alliance - Interior bar nice decor! - Diners Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

My husband said he'd give this place no stars based off the food he ordered, but I think it deserves at least 2.5 from my perspective. The service and staff were genuinely great; friendly, attentive, and on top of things, but the food just didn't measure up. It wasn't bad by any means, just unremarkable, especially considering how many solid breakfast spots there are nearby. The interior gave me strong old-school Shoney's along a scenic Appalachian highway vibes, which, honestly, I think was intentional given the name. It's nostalgic in a way, and the atmosphere is comfortable enough. Overall, not terrible, just not quite a three-star experience in my book, and that's usually my bar for "average." read more

Went at 130 on a Saturday and wait was 10 minutes despite a packed parking lot and restaurant. Staff & service were friendly. Large menu - breakfast, lunch & dinner options. I like they have lighter options too. There is also a dessert counter at the front with some pies, bread pudding & homemade bear claws. My Mom enjoyed her chicken pot pie and broccoli. I enjoyed my chicken avocado club. No mayo, got ranch on the side which was good. The chicken had great flavor but was a tad salty for my preference and the fries were under seasoned which is okay bc you can always add more (and it balanced with the salty chicken well). We both brought half home. They give you your check to pay at the pie counter so you can grab one to take home if you'd like. read more

We visited Black Bear Diner this Saturday morning around 9 AM for an early breakfast with our little family which included our 5-year-old who had just finished swim class. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Service: From the moment we stepped out of the car, the experience was seamless. We were greeted and seated within 10 minutes, which was impressive given how busy the diner already was with the early morning crowd, including plenty of local seniors and regulars. The staff, from the host to our server, were warm, friendly, and attentive. Our waiter was especially kind, offering us a to-go coffee and a lemonade refill for our little one before we even asked. It's the kind of genuine service that sticks with you. Ambiance: The diner has a charming, old-school feel that really adds to its appeal. It's clean, cozy, and has that classic diner vibe that feels like stepping into a small-town gathering place. Families, friends, and neighbors filled the room, catching up over breakfast which gave the whole place a welcoming, community-oriented energy. You can tell this is a local favorite. Food & Value: We ordered two hearty adult breakfasts with coffee, and a kids' lunch with lemonade. The total, including a tip, came to about $55 a great deal, especially compared to our usual $100+ bill when dining out, yes even for a breakfast/brunch place. The food arrived quickly, within 20 minutes, which was a lifesaver with a hungry child in tow. Everything was served hot and tasted delicious. You could tell the kitchen runs efficiently even during the morning rush. Overall: Black Bear Diner impressed us with its warm hospitality, nostalgic ambiance, and great value. It's a rare gem where you feel taken care of and leave full and happy without breaking the bank. We'll definitely be coming back for another family breakfast soon. Highly recommend for families, early risers, and anyone who appreciates a good meal served with a smile. read more

I was leaving waffle house due to the wait, and when I "mapsed" this place out and pulled up, there is 879 cars in the lot. But....I end up getting a front parking spot and NO WAIT. WE WERE seated in 2min, no wait. Our waitress Delilah was amazing and helpful, I think LeAnn, laid out floor Matt's for my baby big back cause she was definitely going to make a mess. And Favi was a delight as well. The food came out fast and hot. could've used a lil salt on thr potatoes and gravy. but other than that it was great. The team bought out the Bear , and it was our first time. My daughter was hungry so she didn't acknowledge him . The place is huge. clean, and th4 customer service was better than chicFiLa. Being a single mom, I always pay attention to my service, my needs, and my surroundings. This place was amazing. we'll be back Thanks guys . read more

We ordered burgers, to start the fries are frozen from a bag, the meat probably the cheapest you can find, nothing was good, then we took a bear claw to try at home, for 8 or 9 dollars you think it would be great or at least good but it wasn't either. Also our server was so serious, idk maybe he was mad about something. The setting is cute, I mean who would not love black bears, and the stars are for the bears. Not for the food or service read more

Cute typical diner style place. Nothing that sticks out food wise other than the giant biscuits but food is good. It's a great spot to take the family especially if they're young. The kids will appreciate the cute cabin in the mountains decor. Service was great. Prices are very affordable. read more

We had an amazing experience at Black Bear Diner thanks to our server, Sydney. From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an upbeat attitude that immediately made us feel welcome. She was attentive without being overbearing, checked in at just the right times, and made sure our drinks stayed full and everything came out exactly how we asked. What really stood out was how genuine and friendly she was. You can tell she actually cares about the customers she's serving and takes pride in doing a great job. Even when the diner was busy, she stayed calm, professional, and kept a positive energy the whole time. That kind of service makes a huge difference. Because of Sydney, the whole meal felt more enjoyable and relaxed. Great food is always nice, but great service is what makes people want to come back--and she absolutely delivered that. If you get the chance, definitely ask for Sydney. She'll make sure you're taken care of. read more

Food is always so good and the waiter staff is friendly and caring . I had ordered the California eggs Benedict and when it arrived it didn't look like what I ordered looked like a omelette but I didn't say anything and after a few bites our waitress ran over and said we are so sorry this wasn't what you ordered and took the plate and brought me the correct order immediately. Their coffee was amazing as well . Restaurant is very clean as well and once someone gets up the tables were cleaned immediately. We will be back !! read more

Great food, terrible service. We never got our drinks refilled. We wanted to order desert. Our waitress was nowhere to be found for most of our meal and someone else had to help us. If you're up for terrible service but want good food, this is the place. I had high expectations but now it's just another bad diner. read more

All I can say is meh.... So the food was ok, not great, not bad. The chicken fried steak is frozen, not fresh. I asked before ordering. This is Fort Worth folks! It has to be fresh. My wife and I both opted for breakfast menu items. She said her pancakes and hash browns were good, but the avocado wasn't ripe. I had biscuit (1) and gravy, with sausage. It was ok. The wait staff was pleasant if not totally engaged. Just there to punch the time clock. Busy with a lot of families, but definitely not worth the hype or the price. I go back to my old regular not fancy dinner for a better meal at half of the price. read more

There are times that I have thought this restaurant was excellent and there are times that I know that it is beyond excellent! The food is delicious, hearty, and truly an example of comfort food at its best. The only disappointment I could ever have is just at times the weight is long during peak periods like after church. But I will tell you without question there is a reason for that and that is because it is well worth the wait. read more

We went here to enjoy the all you can eat fish fry Fridays. The staff was warm, friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing and well presented. The price was reasonable for the amount of food that we received. We plan on returning very soon read more

My daughter, grandson. & I went here for the 1st time today. I had seen these every time I went to Houston & just never stopped so decided to go try it since it's right there. I ordered a Patti melt. It sounded so good because it was going to be in rye bread & it was ok, a little dry for my liking. My grandson ordered kids pancake in the shape of a bear & tore that up & ate all my fries. He was hungry . My beautiful baby ordered an omelette of some sort & it came with a giant biscuit. She said it was really good. You should check it out if you haven't they serve their full menu all day long unless it has a little clock by it on the menu, then it's after noon (I think). read more

I don't usually eat breakfast but I love breakfast food. So when my friend suggested this spot for dinner, I was thinking we should save this for a special occasion weekend brunch kind of day instead. Little did I know, they serve breakfast all day! The inside was cozy and dineresque with a nature theme. The dining area was pretty large and spacious. The menus are printed on what looks like a newspaper and they include calories count for everything. They even have smaller portions for some of their dishes which is great if you're not too hungry or if the calorie count shocked you like it did me. Pierceson was our server and he was a super cool guy. He gave us some suggestions and was patient with our questions. Even though I was excited for breakfast, I wanted to try the dinner offerings too. In the end I opted for my beloved Benny. This one was the California Bacon eggs benedict which came with the standard English muffin and poached egg along with thick cut bacon, avocado, spinach, and grilled tomatoes. Now, the Hollandaise sauce was a let down as it was broken. The dish was still tasty but visually not appealing. The country red potatoes were delicious. My friend enjoyed her chicken fried steak meal. Overall, great addition to the area for breakfast any time of the day! read more

No changing table available for baby in Men's or Women's Tri-Tip Dip was delicious. One of our party ordered the bread pudding French toast and as the rest of our food was coming out, they let her know none of the toppings for the bread pudding were in stock. So that's disappointing. Server was nice and friendly, but first day using tablets made ordering clunky. read more

We were greeted immediately which we loved and asked of our preference for table or booth. The decor stays on point to match the diner's theme. At Black Bear the breakfast menu is available all day which I really like as I enjoy breakfast foods at dinner time too. If you order sweet or unsweetened tea unlimited refills are available. If you order an Arnold Palmer like I did, that particular drink along with 2 other lemonade options get one free refill only. I drank accordingly. My daughter had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli which she enjoyed. My dinner of pancakes, bacon and eggs was very good. The cook got my eggs exactly right. On the table there is original pepper sauce, chipotle sauce and habanero sauce available. If you want Cholula hot sauce or Tabasco it's available by request. This menu has so many delicious looking options I'm pretty sure I'll be back again and again. read more
