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!

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

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.

I ordered my coffee, and they brought out my own french press, creamer, and sugar. My fiancée had a fresh orange juice. Our waitress was very attentive, and all our food was perfect! I ordered the corn beef and hash, and a side of bacon. Funny enough a couple next to me asked how their bacon was here, and i told them order it cause its always nice and crispy big slices! My fiancée ordered the chicken and waffles! Their chicken and waffles are his favorite cause they are kimchi waffles, however not too spicy so good for breakfast after a night out. We tried their garlic fries today and they were so addictive I have been coming here for years, and they never disappoint me. Also if you are looking for bottomless mimosas they never miss. They bring you a tray a of juices, and a bottle of champagne so you can make your own perfect little drinks!

Our enthusiasm diminished pretty quickly with our appetizer of little cinnamon rolls. We all agreed, they were not good. A few of us ordered fish and chips and most agreed, a better version could be had at a local pub here in Vegas. One of us had short rib cheesesteak and that dish was ok. The service was friendly but not helpful and the restaurant is small but cozy. I would not return based on the food, service and value.

A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it. It's a massive meal and I feel like the waitress could have positioned me on all fours in front of a feeding trough in order to graze on it. Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.
