Tempted to order some desserts in the window!
Elleyne M.

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!

Part of the create your own breakfast ... missing the cream pancake

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.

Delicious breakfast and such a cute place to eat! The lemonade was delicious and the pancakes were even better. Was visiting from California and had no idea they had one here too!

None of the carving board is available at noon on weekends
Bradley T.

disappointing to find out that this is the only location that doesn't serve any of the carving board at lunchtime during the weekends like the rest of the locations do. Tried to order prime rib and Tri Tip, Neither are available for lunch on Saturday.

Mmmm, BIGFOOT Chicken Fried Steak!

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.

Protein sides
Cee S.

Whew! Stopped by for a late breakfast and I am not disappointed. Table for 1 was ready immediately with fast and friendly service from the hostess and wait staff. My bottomless coffee never ran out. Nice old school diner vibe and great prices. I just came in for some protein and the homemade sausage did not disappoint. Also love that there are calorie counts on the menu. Will be back.

Eggs, Benedict and cinnamon roll French toast, delicious by the way
Kaymarie D.

Super cute ambience the waitress was amazing and had a wonderful time! Good food! And they have no problem correcting if it's not to your liking

Pot Roast
Bernard S.

Father's Day had a big turn out. Seated quickly. My daughter had a salad and pot roast and I had the soup and turkey dinner. Both had the raspberry iced tea. Service and food excellent. Nice family atmosphere.

Side french toast
JI K.

First time here. Met with friendly host who escorted us in. Our server was Jenny. She was friendly and sweet. Big kudos because it's hard finding nice wait persons nowadays. We ordered side of french toast and ham breakfast with french toast and eggs. Food was good and portions were decent. We loved the bear themed cabin vibe interior too. We will definitely go back again.

Chicken Avocado Club
Ryan O.

Everybody loves Black Bear! Great American diner food. This location especially is always hot, fresh, and correct! Ordering delivery or going in the restaurant, they never disappoint! They will give you sauces as well (which a lot of places won't) such good choices! The service is great and you definitely won't leave here hungry!

Bears choice breakfast
Hieu L.

I always get the blackbear bears choice breakfast which comes with your choice of eggs which I get scrambled, sausage, and I always get the sweet waffle. It looks small at first , but it is quite filling an hearty. There isn't much blackbear diner's around these days. I always try to call in my order or order ahead of time. They you have a wide variation of breakfast offerings.

Key Encounters ..

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.

See all

Reviews are largely positive. Many praise the friendly, attentive service, hearty comfort food, and a cozy family-friendly atmosphere.

The Peppermill is a Las Vegas legend. Still this small little place surrounded by Giants like the…read moreFountaineBleau and Resorts World, yet it's always busy for a reason. The prices of courser have gone up to an average of $25 a meal, but for that money you are getting a lot of food. The bone in ham breakfast is a poun Of ham. Add the potatoes, eggs, and toast and you better bring a friend. This is old school vegas and feels like it with booths and the servers outfits. Being Quiet enough to have a conversation, must have to do with the layout, because with that many people in most restaurants, you would not be able to hear each other. It's rather fascinating. The quality of the food... You are getting exactly what you're expecting. Well cooked and seasoned, great combinations, and quality meats why didn't I give it 5 stars. Because I have been to the Peppermill in Reno. It's a complete casino with the same great food, tables and better lighting I am not a fan of booths. However if you're not either, the Peppermill has an old fashion counter to sit at. Watch the symphony of cooks and servers doing the dance that makes the Peppermill a great place to eat.

There was a line but I'm glad there was a wait because we got a chance to hang out in the Fireside Lounge. That was definitely a trip and quite an experience. It reminds me of a speakeasy from the old days. We had about a 30 minute wait so my sister had coffee and I had a mimosa. My drink was large and delicious. Then we went to our table to have breakfast. The place was busy but not noisy. We ordered the classic breakfast. Eggs, hash browns, and turkey sausages. We also got the lemon cranberry muffins. The portions were huge and the muffin made me want to order a dozen more. Thats how good it was. There service was great and the prices were well worth what you get. Now I can't wait to try their Happy Hour the next time I visit the strip.

However, finding myself on the east side with a hankering for breakfast, the opportunity finally happened. And it was one of my favorite experiences in recent memory. This location is the original, which also happens to be the most popular. Locals tend to come here during all hours of the day and night, and it has the feel of a family run diner. Service is friendly, and the vibe is extremely casual. This is a what a well-run operation of nearly 40 years looks like. The menu is incredibly extensive. This is no cheap diner per se, but one where there's no shortage of variety. Wait staff would have to spend an eternity just to learn the laundry list of items offered. My combo plate of a meat lover's omelette, featured a beautiful array of bacon and sausage along with extremely crispy hash browns to boot. The most incredible part though? The pancakes. I opted for a single pancake because I didn't want a stack. And it was one of the most indulgent and rich flavors that only got better once a smothering of butter and syrup were applied. I would come back here in a heartbeat. This would be a place I would frequent on the weekly if I happened to live in Vegas.

Doc brown burger was ok, nothing to talk about and the grilled chkn sandwich lacked flavor. Didn't help the bread was so toasted, I got a cut from bitting down on it. I regret not saying something at the time cause the thought of spending money on bad food is just annoying. Definitely not worth the hype nor the time.
