    Pot Roast Melt
    Cece B.

    We were quickly seated & ordered mimosas. I also ordered The Bear's Choice; Waffle, eggs & bacon plate. Loved the waffles. My friend ordered a Pot Roast Melt Sandwich & thought it was really good. Total came up to around $56 dollars. Overall Food & Service was good.

    Mushroom Swiss Burger

    Food was great. The angus burger felt a tad on the small side. I might be imagining things. It was delicious though. The kids loved their meals. Fast service even though they were very busy. Chill vibes.

    The environment is always bubbly and loud at this establishment, so if you're looking for a quiet space- do not come here. If you love great conversation, a nice space after church, and great food then this is your go to spot. Take into account that it gets very busy during breakfast. I went with the volcano breakfast and it was absolutely delicious, pancakes were soft, and eggs were cooked perfectly. I gave it a 4/5 because there was a long hair in my pancake, but the waitress brought me over a $5 coupon for next time. :)

    2-Egg* Ham & Cheese Omelette
    Jennifer B.

    This is such a cute place! Decorated like a cozy cabin there are bears everywhere. A dessert case up front lets you see the sweet treats available for taking home and there is seating if the restaurant is busy enough to have a waiting period. We were seated right away and got our drinks immediately, since we were waiting for a third person we held off on ordering and the waitress came right back when our party member appeared. We got chicken fried steak, an omelette and bread pudding French toast and everyone enjoyed the meal! We'll be back for sure. One of our favorite "comfort food" places.

    Veterans Day menu

    Stopped in for Veterans Day cuisine. Amayah was the perfect hostess. Breakfast, lunch & dinner menu choices were available for dine in of take out. I appreciate Black Bear Diner for recognizing & serving the veteran community. Juke box in the waiting area provided nostalgic music for good time entertainment.

    Sweet Cream Pancakes

    Glorious black bear diner. Delicious sweet cream pancakes pair nicely with butter and poached eggs.

    Pancakes & Bacon
    Rodney N.

    My introduction to Black Bear Diner was in Las Vegas about 7 years ago. It was one of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to & this Fresno location is the same. We've been in Fresno for 6 days & today is our third breakfast here. First, the have one of the best unsweetened teas in America & these sweet crème pancakes are second to none. Bacon is crispy, not greasy, & never burnt. Really, the only downside is their hash browns are not good. They need to kidnap a hash town cook from Waffle House. Service is quick but unobtrusive & their desserts rival those of Perkins or Village Inn. Not the cheapest place in down but you get an excellent meal for your money. 4-stars.

    Loaded Baked Potato
    Amy H.

    Love it here! Portions are huge. Everything we ordered was delicious. The server was a great help too! It was our first time there and she gave us time to really explore the menu and narrow down what it was that we wanted to order. By far, Black Bear Diner is our favorite diner to go to!

    4-Piece Homestyle Fried Chicken

    Very friendly server. Nice and quiet compared to other places. Food was ok. I had the open face turkey plater with green beans. The turkey was sliced thin probably to use in other sandwiches. They heated the turkey up in a salamander (sp) so some of it was overcooked, that was the downside of this meal. Beans were really tasty. Server brought me an extra small bowl of gravy at my request with no extra charge. Mom had a baked potato with bacon, butter and sour cream, she ate all of it. The other two meals were also good. Will go again.

    Soup of the Day (150-650 cals.) which was chicken noodle
    Matt W.

    My mom and I went two days in a row, a couple weeks ago because the food was excellent the first day. She had the little less dinner with pot roast, while I had the Santa Maria steak. I didn't care for the taste of the garlic butter I believe is on it but that's a personal preference, I just don't like garlic type stuff, but aside from that I still ate it and our lunch was great. Mine came with the option of a soup which was chicken noodle and one of the best chicken noodle soups I've tried. Definitely recommend that. Customer service was excellent as well our server was kind, she came back to check on us multiple times, even suggested dessert which we weren't thinking about but glad we got, the brownie Sunday was really delicious. The next day we went back and my mom got the fish and chips, while I got the pot roast but the classic size dinner, and it was a big portion. It also came with the soup option, this day was the broccoli cheese soup, not bad. The server was just as kind and friendly as the last day, he checked on us multiple times. I can't say I really had any thing negative to say towards the food, or staff. And I really love the look and the feel of the inside of the place, the atmosphere is peaceful and decorated well. Positive experience overall!

    Homemade Chili
    Zofia G.

    Always a fan of Black Bear Diner, so I was pleasantly surprised to find one out here in the Clovis/Fresno area--I usually go to the Torrance location. Same great atmosphere, friendly service, and cozy vibe. The food was solid all around, but definitely try the chili--it's rich, flavorful, and hits the spot. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving comfort food done right.

But that's not the reason, I think people come here because of the amazing service and the great food and options here. They do not just do American like your burger and fries, but also Mexican food, and Asian food like teriyaki rice bowls. I was quite surprised how extensive the menu is. The owner is super chill and friendly to all the guest. I really appreciate great customer service. The order: I got the steak and pepper hoagie sandwich, absolutely delicious and filling. The meat is not overly cook, the peppers add a settle sweetness and layer to the sandwich, I was stuffed. My husband got the patty melt, it's a patty and two type of cheese on a square sandwich bread, he gave that a 8/10. The kids got the big cheese burger with nothing on it but the cheese and fries. I have to come back and try their other menu items. I'm intrigued!

We were greeted and seated and given a menu. We chose to share the Tri Tip sandwich since it was a bbq joint. We were not expecting the Tri-Tip to be chopped up with onions. Bread and bbq sauce was good but the meat itself was overly salted and not enjoyable. Portion was great and I'm glad we decided to share. Fries were nicely fried and barely seasoned. Which worked out because it helped balance the saltiness from the meat. Service could had been better, we were asked if our drinks came out and we said no twice, until we finally got our drinks. This looks like a good place to come watch sport. It was heavily decorated with football things (mostly Niners) and had multiple tvs.

    Lord where do I even START!! This place is amazing beyond belief I'm not kidding!…read more We made a reservation for a company luncheon with 16 of us. Made it 1 week in advance and they were set and ready for us! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the food came out before the other half of the table even finished ordering I'm not kidding! The fried chicken combo (3 piece) was phenomenal! I got Mac n cheese with yams and cornbread and then added on a chili for extra $ Everything was piping hot so it was very fresh. The chicken was juicy as all hell and that flavor oh my gosh! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The yams were so sweet and flavorful all the way through, and the Mac n cheese had a nice crust with the perfect creamy texture to it! The cornbread was as good as any and the chili beans had the perfect kick! I do prefer a more soupy meat based chili myself but no complaints here! A lot of my coworkers had the fried fish and were RAVING about it! The type of fish they use really shows in the taste and quality! The spicy fried fish was good as well and the sea food gumbo was also delicious all according to the table! Prices are to be expected, it's not your cheapest option but babe it's the yummiest so get on over there! The inside is cute and cozy and they accommodated our party size nicely. They had some good music playing in the kitchen too which we appreciated! Nonetheless DONT MISS THIS PLACE! Please come support and give them your business! Not too many soul food places in Fresno so make this your go to fr!

My boyfriend and I shared the four piece chicken combo plate, we got chili beans and mac & cheese, and we got two extra sides that were greens and the yams. The chicken was a 10/10 - nice and hot! greens - 9/10 very flavorful ( my bf's favorite side ) yams- 7/10 it was a little too sweet for my liking but i still enjoyed it and liked it. chili beans - i wish there was a little bit more meat in mine so 6.5/10 Mac and cheese - 7/10 it was nice and hot Corn bread - i wish we had butter for our cornbread and it was a little bit more soft. Overall, this place is a solid 9/10 the food, the manager was amazing, they took care of us, the staff would check on us. Very attentive and my favorite part was the food was nice and hot

I liked that they offer a loyalty program where you earn points for coming back, and their lunch specials run until 3 p.m., which is a nice bonus. I ordered the protein bowl, added steak, and swapped the pesto for ginger. It felt like a lighter option and still had a lot of flavor. My husband had the fig spread burger and said it was really good. My daughter tried the mac and cheese balls from the appetizer menu. They mention chili, but it wasn't spicy at all, which worked out great since she doesn't like spice. My son kept it simple with fries, and he enjoyed them. They also offer sweet potato fries and other options. One small thing I noticed, the bathrooms actually smelled really good. It seemed like they had incense or something in there, and it made the whole space feel clean and well cared for. Overall, I'd recommend it. The food is solid, and the rewards program makes it worth coming back.
