Great food great service didn't take too long and Kamile was amazing and attentive. Definitely coming back for more!

Salt was their main ingredient for their meat is what it tasted like. The soup was cold to the point it was coagulated. Their "dessert" was a prepackaged muffin with some syrup covered "fruit". read more

I took my kids around 4pm right afterschool. We were the first ones. Looked pretty clean. Loved how they have merchandise for sale there and plenty of options to buy from. It even has a ju box to put some music. After we ordered more people started to come in. Filled up pretty quick. The service was great only towards the end I saw less of the waitress but like I said it started to get busy. The food was good my kids of course ordered breakfast with milk shakes and loved it. I had the chicken fried stake w/eggs and potato's which was really good. read more

Server was not very good, but great food, sever laughed about a plastic lid in my wife's Tea cup and offered nothing, not even an apology! I give 4 stars for the good food and restaurant. read more

Great breakfast spot. We were in and out in about 45 minutes. Not bad considering there was 4 of us. Server was friendly. The red potatoes were delicious. I prefer them to the hasbrowns. They do always have specials and seasonal items. I love that the menus are newspapers. I was confused the first time I came in till the waitress literally opened it for me. I thought it was a legit newspaper. read more

It was a take out order, my biscuits and gravy was alright it wasn't the best sorta tasted bland. The pancakes overall were pretty good! The eggs and sausages were good. read more

Food was delicious (fresh OJ, homemade sausage patties (mild), great waffles and pancakes), service was great, and it hit the spot! It's great to see that the Black Bear franchise is growing...they've made it to TX and OK! read more

Until last night I didn't think you could mess up prime rib. I ordered medium rare but got a well done brick of a steak. My partner had ordered a sirloin rare and his perfectly rare. The server was sweet and she discounted the bill a little but dang, they really wrecked my steak. read more

Went in at 8:23pm, they said they were closed, although sign said 9pm. But no worries, we discovered Heidi's down the road. Great food and great service... and guess what, they ALSO close at 9pm. So if your heading to Black Bear Diner, skip it and go to Heidi's lots of choices and absolutely delicious! They even have a cute little gift shop! read more

Never really stopped in sandy on the way to Mt. Hood, but January snow/ice storm forced us to out chains on next door, and we stopped to fuel our tummy up. Ordered their fantastic fresh baked biscuits and corned beef hash. Biscuit was soooo fluffy and buttery I regretted ordering just 1! Corned beef hash was not from a can, and I appreciated that. Adding this place as our first stop from now on. read more

Great food, good vibes. Jenny, our waitress was so quick and friendly. I definitely recommend this place!

Great breakfast this morning! I have been here several times for lunch and dinner. Each time I was underwhelmed With the food and the staff. I gave them a try for breakfast this morning and was so happy I did. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. My server Dylan was over the top. I had the chicken fried steak with the hash browns extra crispy. The CFS was very good. The gravy could have been a bit more flavorful but was still good. The crispy hash browns were perfect. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. I'm so glad I was in the neighborhood and gave them a try for breakfast. The server started my day on a great note. His energy and friendliness was infectious. I can recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Always good food and service. Kristy was our waitress and did a great job. Love the country atmosphere!

These guys are great! My Cobb salad was fresh and delicious! Hubby had breakfast hash ... also very good! Service was warm & friendly. This is a nice spot to sit down for a homestyle meal! Cobbler is yet to come! read more

The food is OK, but not my first choice to go for a meal. The wait times are long, the service kinda sux and as I said, the food is just OK. Often those huge biscuits are dry and tasteless, but the do make a damn decent Taco Salad...go figure. lol Quite decent breakfasts, and the portions are large enough, for sure. read more

If you have a big appetite this is the place to come. Ordered Bear's choice with biscuits and gravy and the size of the biscuit was unbelievable. Way more than anyone could possibly eat in one sitting. My husband got the Hobo omelette with hash browns which was really good and ended up taking half home. Our server was very good. We'd come back and just split a breakfast next time. read more

I've been to several Black Bear Diners in California and Oregon and they are usually pretty good. But this location seems to be missing something. The only reason I gave three stars instead of two is because the employees are nice. One thing for sure is that Black Bear Diner does GREAT breakfasts but everything else is blah. Their omelette and sweet cream pancakes and waffles are the bomb! From now on we will stick to breakfast only at the BBD. Here's why: We came in for dinner and I ordered the Friday AllYouCanEat Fish Fry and my partner ordered the Tri-Tip. -- The cod was just OK but the hush puppies were not bad. The problem is that after only one plate I was told there was no more fish when I asked for a couple more pieces. So much for the AllYouCanEat deal! But the kicker is that I wasn't even offered anything else to chow on as a substitute or a discount on the meal. Geeesh! -- My partner's Tri-Tip was mediocre at best. What's really bad was that it was supposed to be 10 ounces of steak but there is absolutely no way it was even close. Maybe 5 ounces at most! It looked like one of those presentations at gourmet restaurants where the meat on the plate is a ridiculously small serving but there is some fancy sauce spackled on the plate to make it "gourmet". Like I said....we will stick with breakfast only here which they are always good for. read more

Awesome food and service. The chicken fried steak is to die for. The milkshakes are old fashioned and delicious

Always cheerful and great meals. HUGE servings We had traditional breakfast and chicken avocado sandwich. Fabulous read more

Last time we went there we had a little problem with forgetting some things but no worries the management made sure everything got taken care of. Angie and Justin both came by many times to make sure everything was okay, they engaged in great conversation and set the atmosphere of the restaurant as very comforting. Food was amazing as usual when asked to cook things extra or have extra sauce they were more then willing to make things right. All around they helped make it a great experience. read more

I use have breakfast however I went to eat dinner tonight on Sunday. I has the meatloaf sliced thin. The gravy was good but rather salty on the meatloaf & on the mashed potatoes I didn't order. I ordered baked potato with sour cream which was brought out after I start eating along with another slice of meatloaf. The bacon potato soup was okay. The onion ring was too crispy on the meatloaf. The Broccoli was fine no issues. No issues withe the service as the waitress was great. The French fries for my partner was salted before he got his food. I thought the fries would be not salted so you could put your own amount of salt on. ​ read more

Insert cliché yelp I wish there was a half star option comment here... I really do though because sometimes you feel guilty to the business giving a three star but misleading to potential customer giving a four-star... now there's a lot of things I like this place one being the Decour I really do like these when you bring the kids it's cheesy it's over the top it's not just cheap and throwing together like so many places are nowadays. The service can be slow I don't think it's their fault but it is definitely not aimed towards people that are trying to get something in a short amount of time seeding a lot of time is hard to get to go food times very and really you have to have some time to hang out I think to anticipate coming to this place. breakfast here is pretty good there's nothing overly special about it but they give you the big old breakfast like I love and remember as a kid now I'm not sure if I was smaller and the plates were standard size but I swear I remember whopping huge plates when you take half of it home when you're done. And this place has that they've had some seriously massive place where you eat until you feel like you're gonna die and you still get a little for that 11 o'clock I'm hungry again feeling. Or often with a big breakfast plate I've had three kids share and no one be upset. So I definitely lean towards traditional breakfast with big pancakes and pancakes and sometimes it feels nice just to get something like that when you're in a nostalgic place... most often I get burgers here for lunch they give you a lot of fries which I appreciate and a good variety in Birch I also have bigger patio options which I do appreciate being a big burger guy. They also ask how you like your burger and if you ask for a medium they will give it to medium which is nice because often places with health code weird things don't want to chance it and just give you everything well done. I do enjoy the option of having bacon and cheese but it sometimes sucks having to add them together at the same time. Sometimes I don't always wanna two or three dollar up charge just because I want she is inside of a hamburger I'm a big boy. I have tried about four or five different burgers here over the years and they're all consistently good I have no complaints on them and would definitely put them above the standard diner dinner elder establishment... It's not hip it's not revolutionary it's not anything that will be making the record books but it is good and I do go a few times a year read more

I was coming here since this pace started but now this place is disgusting and so are some of the waiters and the manager a Curlie hair women is soo rude that my son who is Autistic was gone have breakfast their the manager sat us down i was talking to my son and she looked at me and said YOU WELCOME good thing i was with my son cause I felt chucky coming out of me but had to calm my self to not respond back and said your welcome yo her back cause i was gone go eat their even though is fealty and disgusting.... read more

The cheapest burger around. The burger patty is the single most flavorless, dry thing I have ever eaten, The cheese was the cheapest, most fake cheese I had ever seen. I am pretty sure the tomatoes were from the local Walmart or similar cheap grocery store, and I'm pretty sure the onion rings are from the frozen aisle. It's also insulting that they called it a BBQ burger when all they did was put a small dab of BBQ sauce on it and thought that was good. It's kind of sad when the most fresh looking part of the burger was the lettuce, since it was actually pretty crisp. Other than the burger, the fries were subpar. read more

I love these noodles their fire good food after practice it really hits the spot and makes me feel better

We visited today and our experience was great. Our server, Kamile, and the Assistant Manager Angie, we're both very nice. Between the positive experience with both employees, on top of delicious and fairly priced food, I am honestly impressed. read more

I came to black bear diner. My waitress Nataly took really good care of me and my family of 6. She made sure my water was always filled. She was funny and made us feel like we were at home. This is probably one of the best experiences I had in a restaurant. The food was awesome and delicious. Definitely coming back. read more

Blackbear Diner in Gresham is a must go to place to eat, the only thing better then the food is the service;).. We had the Tritip Dip and the Fish and Chips and they were delicious and the portions !! JUSTIN is the general manager, he and his staff are super friendly and attentive read more

Great food and staff was amazing. Make sure you come hungry. Very clean inside. Take a pie home

Not impressed. The avocado in my sandwich wasn't fresh at all. My fruit side was forgotten in my pick-up order. Crazy to me that they didn't bother to check before stapling the bag shut. Also I was charged twice by their website. Never again. The only thing I liked about Black Bear Diner was the cute bear statues in front. That's it. read more

Food took about 35mins for 2 people and food was cold. Waiter was a little rude. Wouldn't recommend

I want to tell you what a great place Gresham's Black Bear Diner is. The food is great and very large portions. The service is out of this world. We had a server names Jennifer who went out of her way to make our dining experience wonderful. I strongly recommend Gresham's Black Bear to anyone. Be sure to ask to sit in Jennifer's section. read more

I started bringing my elderly mom here every Sunday afternoon. The menu is large and the food is good. We recently had Annika as our server (last 2 Sundays) and I hope she works every Sunday!! She is so friendly and even helped keep a secret this last Sunday when my mom got to meet her newest 11 day old great granddaughter :) I appreciate how she checks on us to see if we need anything and always has a smile...that goes a long way nowadays!! Sometimes the food takes a little while to come out but I understand staffing shortages are affecting all businesses right now so we use that time to catch up as a family. read more
