Great food, service and cozy vibe makes for a great birthday breakfast! I ordered the Grizz breakfast. Yum. Hubs got the chicken fried steak and it was delicious! Esme was a wonderful server! If you're in Vegas, this diner is worth the drive from the hustle and bustle of the strip! read more

Black Bear Diner Las Vegas - Tropicana Ave - The Grizz breakfast. - Diners Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I tried Great Bear Diner for the first time in Las Vegas. I had tried it once in Gilroy, California but never thought to try it in Las Vegas. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the service was really good. I was surprised at the extent of their menu. Everything from breakfast to lunch to dinner looks very appetizing. The place is big and very appealing. I will definitely be bringing my grandchildren here for Sunday dinner. They will definitely enjoy all the choices. The deserts look wonderful also if you have enough room left after a hardy meal. This is an update. I tried them again on Sunday. This experience was not as good as the first. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Also, the waitress was not as nice as the first time. Food was not as good. I am giving a 4.0 for first time and a 2 for the second time. I don't know if I will try again. Maybe it is better during the week read more

Here's a polished Yelp-style review that keeps your personality and highlights the waiter: First time visiting this restaurant and I had a great experience. I was greeted by a friendly hostess when I walked in, and my waiter Ramsees (I think that's how you spell his name) was even better. He was welcoming, attentive, and took the time to give me some recommendations since it was my first visit. I ended up ordering a classic breakfast. Overall, it was very good. The eggs were a little greasy for my taste, and the pancakes were definitely on the sweet side--but to be fair, they are called sweet cream pancakes! What really stood out was the service. The gentleman sitting next to me seemed unhappy with absolutely everything and somehow made it all the waiter's fault. We never know what someone else is going through, but it certainly wasn't the server's fault that he had a bad day. Despite that, my waiter remained professional, patient, and kind throughout the entire interaction. I felt bad for him, but he handled the situation incredibly well. Thankfully, he mentioned it was his Friday and he had a couple of days off coming up. He definitely earned them! This review is really to recognize him for doing such a great job. Excellent customer service, a positive attitude, and professionalism even under pressure. I'll definitely be back. read more

Black Bear Diner is one of my preferred local breakfast establishments. I signed up for their emails and they sent me a free breakfast! It was a Bear's Choice Breakfast that comes with your choice of eggs, bacon or sausage and pancakes. I asked for strawberries and whipped cream for my pancakes too. I enjoyed my breakfast and something about their coffee is so good. A suggestion I have is to make the egg portions bigger. My breakfast was great, but there was a really small serving of eggs. They also have a kid's menu that includes a sundae or strawberries if you order after 11am. I want to recognize our server Flordeliza, she was so friendly and attentive. She has excellent customer service, and we hope she's our server next time we are there. If you're looking for a spot with great service and tasty meal offerings for breakfast, check out Black Bear Diner! read more

Thank you, YELP family for this restaurant reviews! Because of you, we came by while we're on vacation Met most amazing April and Flower. Honesty when we came in we met up with a very rude customer. The hostess sat us, even though I asked her to seat the other couple first cause she was rude and - well well let's just say- she was rude bad rude Anyway, everybody else of the workers made such a difference here- I witnessed one of the workers helping and older woman with her menu and sat there reading with her. Another person was at the restroom door while the son helped the mother in handicap stall. Flower flower was right if you treat everybody like family and you will not go wrong. The vibe here is amazing The food is so good as well!! So good that I am posting while sitting in here eating. read more

Shall we gather, have good times, great conversations, and amazing eats! Who's hungry? I mean really who's hungry? Yes let's get excited! Especially here at Black Bear Diner. We are having some fun. The family and friends are around the table. Laughing and enjoying one another. Can you see your last get together? Put those laughs and joy together, now let's go! As you walk in the door you feel as if the outdoors is inside. That rustic smell of the woods. The freshness and sounds of the air outside makes one wonder. Just wonder because we live in the middle of the desert and they represent the outside world of wonderfully . The host will seat you at a table and leave you a menu. Looking at the menu is adventurous. Do you remember reading the paper this menu takes an individual back. So much detail of the food. What to order? Oh my, it all looks good ! This is the hardest part too. Be adventurous and order something out of your comfort zone because usually we are creatures of habit . Have something new? Within our comfort zones we are branching out. It's always usually a family affair we order and share among ourselves. We all can relate to one another and try something new . Mmmm, what's not to love here. If you have special dietary interests they offer many different options . While it's primarily a meat offering you can use vegetables for those that like other options for eating and their happy food times way of life . Can you handle this? The chicken fried steak? Wow it's delicious? It's severed with a "real" steak knife. Be careful and don't hurt yourself. Let's dig into this that steak and all that gravy. Oh my! If you have not tried it before it's amazing. They offer bottomless coffee and come around and keep you buzzing while you engage and enjoy yourselves. Now that our visit is coming to a close. They offer dessert, my favorite! Let's have that favorite here. The chocolate cream pie. Remember pie helps reset and keep one's mind, body, and soul reset and function together. It's truly epic. The world needs more times like these. These fun moments where we get together and celebrate life and love among one another. The food here and ambience is truly something . Come and enjoy yourself. read more

Came in for a company breakfast meeting, and overall this was a pretty middle-of-the-road experience for me. I ordered the Joe's Hobo Omelette, which is listed as smoked ham, link sausage, thick-cut bacon, jack cheese, cheddar cheese, spinach, and onion, and it was definitely filling. The omelette looked good, the cheese was melted, and the portions were solid, but flavor-wise it landed mediocre. Honestly, it was the first time in a long time I've had to reach for the salt and season my own food, it just didn't have that full, seasoned "diner breakfast" punch I expected. The fruit on the side was fresh and enjoyable, simple win, no complaints there. The biscuit was the biggest surprise, not in a great way. It was huge, but very dense and heavy. I put a little butter on it hoping it would soften up, but it still felt like a brick, more weight than fluff. Coffee was a mixed bag. I drink mine black, and Jenn kept it hot and kept checking my cup, which I genuinely appreciated. That said, the coffee itself tasted a little scorched, like it had been sitting on the warmer for a while. Small note, my fork was bent when I sat down, and it got replaced, not a huge deal, just a minor oversight. Service-wise, Jenn was great. Friendly, efficient, and on top of refills, especially with how busy it was. It did feel like the place runs on a fast, turn-and-burn rhythm, which makes sense for a chain breakfast spot. Atmosphere-wise, it wasn't really for me. The place was packed, and it felt pretty bland overall. I can see why people like it for convenience and big portions, but it's not somewhere I'd choose if I'm paying and picking the spot myself. If someone invited me again, I'd be open to trying a different menu item, but this visit didn't sell me on breakfast here. read more

We were looking for someplace to grab breakfast before enjoying a day out in the Vegas area and didn't know where to try. As soon as I saw the name, the decision was made. Bears-- who doesn't love them?? Great down home cooking with style! Excellent prices, great wait staff and bussers. Highly recommend!

I stopped in, maybe about a month ago. The restaurant wasn't exceedingly busy or anything. Our drink order was taken immediately. I came here with a friend and my little one. She really always is tickled by the bear theme here. Our waitress wasn't exactly the friendliest. Or at least maybe it took her an extra long time to warm up to us. Whatever it was, she seemed a little irritated by our presence. We went ahead and we ordered our food. Nothing was wrong. We requested refills and the things that we needed, but I was a little bummed that she didn't anticipate more of our needs. I can't say that I recall her name. Our experience altogether wasn't real memorable, except for the fact that the little annoyance is got to me. And it wasn't even so much that I was annoyed, it's our waitress. She seemed annoyed. Like I said, she seemed to warm up to us toward the end of our meal. Maybe she thought we were gonna be more trouble. I'm not sure. Nothing was wrong with our meal. The food is fine. Everything was OK. It wasn't quite the experience that I was hoping for, but it wasn't terrible either. I can't say that this is gonna be the first place. I think them to go to for breakfast but it's not the last either. Free parking is available in the lot out front. Just be careful when you park. Some of the lines are a little tricky and all of a sudden and go in a different direction than you are expecting. read more

Vegas is full of choices for diners if you can go off strip. Black bear diner is a good one. My waitress was super nice and was there with a coffee refill many times. Got the volcano, which has bacon sausage and eggs, and more pancakes that one should eat at a time. Also got a side of cheesy bacon grits. Everything was delicious. Grits could've been warmer and cheese, as a lot of the shredded cheese didn't melt. Except for that, I'd return. They have a massive menu that's in the form of a newspaper. Place has a heavy locals feel to it read more

Update: The food was ample and delicious, as always. Unfortunately, it felt like we were eating inside of a refrigerator!

I can't express how much I love Black Diner. I went to my first one back in 2017 during a family reunion in Oregon. 4 hours on the road again, this time to Vegas. As soon as we get checked in I searched YELP for nearby restaurants, it was fate. Delicious food as always. I always get the deluxe tri-tip sandwich. It comes out piping hot with warm fresh ciabatta bread, hot ooey gooey steak, cheese, grilled onions. Hot french fries and real ranch that doesn't move. You always see that watered down stuff everywhere else. Anyways, Luisa was a wonderful server, we never had to ask for anything. Extra napkins? It's like she knew me. Thank you for everything! Awesome start to our 4 day trip. read more

I ordered the chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrowns, and biscuit. Pretty good deal for $13.99. The hashbrowns were a bit salty, but everything else was good. I like the sauce on top of the fried chicken, I just wish they had a bit extra for the biscuit. Overall, not bad and I'd be back to try other things.

Came here for breakfast on the recommendation of my MIL and it was only 5 mins away from our hotel. It was a weekday so there was no wait. The service was good. Our server accidentally charged us twice for a cup of coffee but was able to get it taken off & other than that she was great. The whole place is decked out in black bear decor, hence the name. Very cute, diner vibes. The food was just okay but the portions were huge. I shared the BIGFOOT Chicken Fried Steak & eggs with my mom and there was still enough leftover for at least 1 more person. For 6 people our bill was less than $100 so very affordable. read more

We eat here at least 8 times a month. This morning on Saturday, we got there around 10am. It was exceptionally crowded but we were seated. Waiters were hopping, managers were assisting to ensure food went out timely- and the employees were smiling with outstanding service! In the midst of all a manager even stopped to ask if the meal had been ok. We witnessed a smoothly run restaurant with amazing managerial ethos. Thank you! read more

5 Stars Black Bear is hands down the best place to celebrate with family and friends! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest welcome by the hostess, and the atmosphere immediately made me feel like I was in the right place for a good time. The music playing in the background is so lively and fun it's impossible not to feel happy and want to dance along! Our server, Nicole, went above and beyond to make sure my sister, my nephew, and I had the best experience. She was so thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed to customize our meal just the way we love it. Nicole's kindness and attention to detail really made our lunch so memorable, and she made us feel like we were part of the family! The food? Absolutely mouthwatering. Every bite was delicious, and the coffee was the perfect pick-me-up! And oh my goodness, their desserts are to die for if you have a sweet tooth, you're in for a treat. They also have this super fun jukebox where you can pick songs to play while you enjoy your meal what a unique touch! This is the place to go for birthdays, celebrations, or just a casual get-together. Whether you're with family, friends, or seniors, Black Bear has something for everyone. I can't recommend it enough perfect atmosphere, incredible food, and service that makes you feel like you're at home. Can't wait for the next visit! read more

My family and I frequent the Black Bear Diner on Sahara for breakfast, but no more. This afternoon for St Patrick's Day we wanted to try the Tropicana location for Corned Beef and Cabbage. I ordered and prepaid online for pickup on the order.blackbeardiner.com site. I sent my husband with my credit card (per the instructions online you must present ID and or the card)to pick it up. When he arrived he said the hostess said that someone had already picked up the order. My husband explained that we had not. The hostess was insistent and argued that we had picked it up already. Another hostess stepped in to apologize for that hostess being rude because she overheard the conversation and asked for the manager, Cynthia, to assist. Cynthia insisted that we had not paid yet and they gave our food to us already? My husband called me on the phone to ask if I had paid for it already, so I verified on my bank account that yes it was paid and directly to Black Bear Diner. They refused to offer any apologies or resolution. My husband got rightly frustrated and asked for a receipt or refund or something because they would not admit to giving our food to someone else by accident, who obviously did not show proof that they ordered and/or paid for the food. Instead of admitting they made a mistake they told my husband to leave or they would call the police as though he was a thief. He only wanted a refund for food we did not get and of course got more upset because Cynthia became nasty. I also sent him a screenshot of my bank charge to show them it was paid. Cynthia obviously did not want to handle it and told my husband to never come back. Their rules stipulate that you must show ID to pick up your food so who is at fault here. I called in after my husband left to order food elsewhere. I talked with Cynthia and asked her why she threatened to call the police on my husband who was just trying to pick up food we paid for. She said that her rude hostess should not be talked to like that even though the accusations were for us only. She claimed that it' was my husband and it was all on video. If it were on video then you will see that my husband walked in calmly and got treated horribly before becoming upset. Why did the other hostess apologize to him? Also on video is the person that took our food. How about an investigation on who exactly is stealing? Cynthia hung up on me after several attempts to resolve the matter. What kind of manager does that to paying customers who simply want the food they paid for. We are reasonable people who just want the food we ordered or a refund. After being hung up on several more times, I finally reached a very polite person named Lisa by phone. She explained that we had ordered on Grub Hub. Although she was the only reasonable person we spoke to, I did not order from GrubHub. I ordered as pickup, not delivery and directly from the site. She said that even if you order pickup it still gets picked up by GrubHub. That does not make any sense. How would a customer know GrubHub is to pick up the food and not the customer per the selections on the site. GrubHub is not mentioned. How would GrubHub know any of my information, address etc if that were true. I received an email receipt from BBD not GrubHub, who never delivered the order by the way as she claimed. So who is the thief? I bet the video could tell you that as well. A disputed transaction is in order. This left a nasty taste in my mouth. Do better Black Bear Diner for others because I won't be returning. read more
