In town for business and stopped by for breakfast. Ordered two eggs scrambled with what was supposed to be hash browns. These were the absolute worst I have ever had, I thought I would break a tooth when I tried them. Other than that the service was very good and the eggs and bacon were just a little above average. For the prices this establishment charges all items should be of the best quality read more

I went there before my class started, and it was a very good way to start a day. This was my first visit since the pandemic, but still surprised to see not a lot of customers. I had the Bear's Choice, which was eggs, ham and 2 large pancakes, plus coffee. Everything was great and the waitress was very attentive. I especially enjoyed the coffee. It was strong, and just to my liking. A great place for a delicious breakfast. read more

Went today for a late lunch. 3 of us. My waffle came out burnt. Sent it back I immediately got a replacement - looked like it was sitting in the back a while - bottom was soggy. Called a manager over - got a waffle made fresh. At the end of our meal - my son noticed he had the spout from the soda machine in his glass! Needless to say quality is horrible. Picture- bottom is of the 3rd waffle I received and top is the 2nd one. I can't believe they tried to pass that off as edible read more

Clam chowder was watery, tri tip was in thin overcooked slices and the prime rib had been fried on a grill. The mashed potatoes were ok but had congealed gravy on top. (That was after we waited 45 mins to get it.) Oh, and they had no baked potatoes but didn't bother to tell the server so a pile of "loaded" mashed potatoes ended up with the tri tip. read more

Got a scramble. First bite was all onion. Ok I mixed up better and took another bite. Still could only taste onion. Asked waitress she said yes it wasn't supposed to have that many onions. Asked if I wanted her to remake it I said no. Take its off and charge me for the biscuit. Asked for a side gravy. No big deal. Girls pasta was good they were happy. Get the bill. They didn't take off the food. Didn't charge me for the biscuit. I asked about it and was told since it was partially eaten I had to pay for it. They did give me a dollar discount. Nobody wants a bowl of onions for breakfast. Other issue I had which I'll accept the blame for but just so other parents know.... Some of the kids meal comes with a side. Some of them don't. The wait staff won't mention that if you say what side you want and if it doesn't come with it they will just charge you damn near same price as the kids meal. Thank you for communicating. I won't come back. Perfectly aware that they don't care. Just read more

I am very disappointed in my meal I received. There have been 3 separate occasions where I asked for shell eggs scrambled and it was never correct. Well Friday took the cake for me. I requested the same thing and oh my goodness it looked horrible. The eggs would not be anything anyone would want to eat. I am tired of making complaints to management because why is it so hard to scramble two eggs. PITIFULL! read more

Great bang for your buck. Great price, big portion, quality food. Service was fast and great. Busy place but lot of seating and we're seated promptly at 10am on a Sunday. Chicken fried steak is amazing! The 3 sunny side up eggs was buttery (which is great, no complaint). Loud, great for groups and kids friendly. We left at around 11am and there was a line out the door. read more

Came hungry, left happy!! Despite being super busy, we were seated upon entry. The staff was super friendly, the restaurant was clean and the food, really good. There's lots to choose from at a price that fits every budget. The portions were large enough to share. The pancakes are delish, and there's something special about the bacon. Can't go wrong with the place! read more

After a morning of fishing and not catching much, I was ready for some grub. We were in the area and decided to pop in. They have a check in system so you give them your phone number and they put you on the waitlist. We didn't have to wait long, but I will say there isn't a lot of waiting room so if it's packed - you'll likely want to wait outside. Their menu is printed like a newspaper which is unique. After looking over the menu, we decided The Volcano had a little bit of everything we wanted. My boyfriend got the volcano with no breakfast sausage, sub for extra bacon instead. I really love waffles, so I ordered the volcano with a waffle ($3.99 up-charge). We also ordered a hot chocolate and bottomless hot coffee. My boyfriend thought the hot chocolate was very sweet and would not get it again. I think the coffee was decent, but nothing super magical there either. Now on to the food. I will just say that if you are a waffle lover - specifically the waffles that have bite and texture to them - this ain't the place for that. The waffle I had tasted like a thick pancake that was shaped like a waffle. I didn't really enjoy that and probably would have stuck to the pancakes that come with the volcano considering they charge extra to get the waffle instead. Bacon was okay as well, I ordered it extra crispy but I think because they are thick cut bacon - it didn't come out as crispy. My favorite was the breakfast sausage. I thought their breakfast sausage was very flavorful and I would definitely get it again. They also have habanero hot sauce at the table for eggs, etc. and I really liked that as well. Overall I would come again, but would probably try another menu item instead. It's a decent breakfast spot and definitely better than your average iHop. I hope to update this review in the future once I narrow down something I like more on the menu. read more

Friday after 4pm and there was no host/hostess when we walked in. Waiter took forever to get our drink order and our food order. The restaurant wasn't even busy. Rest of the waitstaff was in the back goofing. Our food came and was overly cooked. I really wanted to like this place, but I was very disappointed. The waiter was at least friendly. read more

Service was terrible. Slow service and breakfast eggs, bacon & hash browns served cold. Had to bring it home to heat it. The waitress had an attitude and we had to ask several times for to-go boxes and finally got them from another waitress. read more

Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere, Great first time! Definitely coming back again.

The food was horrible and very disappointing. The chili is nasty and had no flavor. Just bad all together

I Highly recommend it! The food was delicious and the coffee as well! Our server Regina gave us excellent service, very professional and great personality. We will definitely come back!! Thank you Regina !! read more

We got the Original ScramBowl and Joe's Hobo omelette that was both hearty and filling, I just wish that there was more egg rather than potato. The value for the amount of food you get is good. Service was quick and efficient, fairly friendly but not genuine, very robotic but I get it. (Didn't get five stars due to not getting what we had specified while placing our order, and absolutely no plastic wear or butter when I was assured everything was in there) read more

Food was good. Sweet potato fries were excellent. French dip could have had more beef and more dip. Took a little long to arrive. The server was fantastic. She always had a smile and was on the ball. Gave her lots of kudos because she was working as hostess and serving. Busy girl. But still in a great mood. Typical diner atmosphere. Nothing fancy. Clean booths. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning (10:30 am) and it was somewhat packed, we were still seated promptly and the food came out quick! Food was delicious and they have LARGE plates! Come hungry, leave happy! COVID: Staff we're wearing masks at all times, back of house staff were wearing masks and gloves. I guess since restaurants can allow 100% seating that they don't socialize distance tables anymore. If you don't like that, come at your own will. read more

Very disappointed. I ordered French toast take out and asked for some cinnamon sugar to go with it got a flat no on the basic cinnamon sugar and when I got where I was going the order wasn't creamy, custardy French toast, but just fried toast with an egg wash on the outside. Blah! I wasted money on this!?!? read more

Kay is so serviceable and nice!!! Food was great too the pancakes are fluffy and good

First time coming to this place and won't be the last. The decor makes you feel like your visiting relatives in the countryside and has a welcoming feel. The food was really good portions as well as taste being there. Big plus that they sell breakfast all day because who doesn't love breakfast for dinner?! Only gripe I may have is the bacon wasn't consistent. I had some that were nice & flavorful, some that were stiff, and some that were bending in 3 different directions (lol) read more

Black Bear Diner Katy - The Volcano w/ extra bacon on the side - Diners Near Me - Katy, Texas

I love this place! All day breakfast is a winner for me. Add to that a really good breakfast and I'm in heaven. Now, you don't have to eat breakfast because the menu has many other choices too. Now that I have been to Black Bear three times I think I am convinced this place is really good. They have a bar like a traditional dinner that usually has an opening or three. Otherwise you may have to wait 20-30 minutes for a table. Menus are all newspaper stile with historical news from Katy or something like that. So you can bide time by reading that instead of playing with your phone. Nice. I love their corned beef hash and their eggs Benedict. Both seem to be made from scratch. Their biscuits are humongous. Even the coffee tastes great. Do try! read more

My family and I visited this neat place on a friday night. It was pretty busy but we were greeted right away and sat within a few moments. They seem to have their stuff together! Our waitress was EMILY. She was awesome. She knew her stuff! My dad got the chicken fried steak, I ordered the taco salad and my mom ordered the chicken avocado club. The chicken fried steak was pretty amazing. My taco salad was pretty good as well (nothing speacial). It was overall a good salad. The reason why I give this place a 4 star was because of the chicken that was served. I believe my moms club and my salad had the same chicken. It tasted like a frozen chicken patties. Couldnt eat much of it. Overall we loved the ambience of this restaurant. EMILY was so on top of her game and even though what we ordered wasnt the tastiest items, we would definitely come back and try something else! read more

My favorite thing to have here are their biscuits, BLT and Ruben sandwiches! So good! Classic diner food! The bear stuff is cute too.

Came in for lunch and sat on the side that is more like a diner. It's a little bit louder on that side. They said you could not go wrong with the meat loaf or the pot roast and I took them up on the pot roast. the portion was huge. I had enough leftovers for another meal. The Cornbread that comes with it was almost as good as mine. This is a place I look forward to going back to. read more
