    Veterans Day Breakfast
    Jennifer P.

    Want to send a big THANK YOU to Black Bear Diner. This is the fourth year our company has had our Veterans Day breakfast at this location. They were very accommodating and even managed to seat us together. The food was great and the service was even better. Happy the manager also noted to the staff to expect us. The BBD is awesome.

    Our grandkids loved the pancakes. We had meatloaf which is usually pretty good but the night we were there for some reason it was very salty. Service was good but giving three stars because of the meatloaf.

    First time I visit this restaurant. Friendly service, excellent food, open kitchen. We went at 12:15 pm and by 1:10 pm we had already finished. My son ordered the country fried steak and eggs. 3 eggs, two rolls, country potato with fried steak with gravy. I ordered the new pudding pican, praline pancakes with guineo, we didn't even spend $40.00 between the two, I recommend it.

    The Breakfast Club

    OK. I know Black Bear is a franchise. But this one need to step it up! I got The Breakfast Club and it was PATHETIC! All together it had one strip of bacon, one thinly sliced peace of ham, one slice of tomato on one of the the halves, and the hash browns were half of what they should be. Just sad!!! Bear is in your name! Sent it back and ask to have it taken off the bill. Sorry, Won't be back.

    Bears choice birthday breakfast and a side of hashbrowns
    Nikole C.

    This was my first time at Black Bear Diner. They sent me an email for a free birthday breakfast, the bears choice, so why not finally try it out? I ordered the bears choice with bacon and French toast and ordered a side of hash-browns. My daughter chose the cubs choice breakfast off the kids menu and my friend ordered the vegetarian omelette. The food was tasty, well seasoned, cooked to our asking and nice and hot when it arrived. Their menu is huge and they offer such a wide variety of items that I knew I'd want to come back and try more in the future. Plus, they service breakfast all day . The seating was comfortable and the tables were nice and clean. Where our visit left me giving 4 instead of 5 stars, was the service. Our waitress was not very friendly and almost seemed bothered by having to serve us. I'm not sure if it was an off day for her but hopefully she has better days. I certainly didn't let it ruin my day and I look forward to trying out Black Bear Diner again soon.

    As a regular patron of this specific Big Bear Diner location, we're lucky to have them in the 'hood. With the exception with their extremely busy hours (the lines can be an hour or more long) the meals are consistent, offerings generous, taste delish, atmosphere terrific and the service has always been fab! We've enjoyed on many occasions their Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menus. Whether the Big Foot Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs to a really, really good Omelets or a variety of terrific Benedicts, incredible lunch sandwiches like their array of Specialty Burgers to Patty Melts or Club sandwiches, and a tasty Meatloaf, the Tri-Tips or Pot Roast, you can't go wrong - not to mention their moderate prices. We're regulars, and plan to be such for a long time. Keep it up Bear Laveen, great job!

    A HUGH DISAPPOINTMENT !!! I am a big fan of BBD and eat breakfast there several times a month. Usually at the Tempe location. This is my fist time to this Laveen location (and last time). My standard is the Bears Choice. Today: Service was extremely slow. I was seated for 10 minutes before the waitress came to the table. She lacked a warm, friendly approach the entire visit. She was also slow with coffee refills. Scrambled eggs were over cooked and dry. Pancakes had a hard outside shell and were dry. This is most upsetting since I love their sweet cream pancakes. Potatoes were raw and not thoroughly cooked. Omelette was not fully cooked and extremely oily/greasy. I will continue to frequent the Tempe location but not this one!

    Enjoyed our time at this restaurant. The food was good and our orders were received as requested. We received friendly service and the dining area was clean and comfortable.

We arrived at 7:50am, hoping for a quick breakfast before a doctors appointment at 9:10am around the corner. It took the waitress forever to come to our table because she was the only one up front. Totally reasonable. By 8:20am there was over 18 guests and still just her trying to seat people, give them beverages, make espresso, input orders, and basically manage everything. Again. Totally reasonable why things were taking longer. She was hauling a** and working hard. So imagine my utter dismay when I saw a man, probably the manager or owner just standing there like a jacka** not helping her but making polite greetings and conversation to the people at the bar. Utterly unacceptable to watch your employee or someone struggle with that many tasks and not do a darn thing about it. Looking so proud and like everything is just dandy as you lean against the doorframe doing absolutely nothing. Our waitress gets a five star rating but this one star reflects the behavior of whoever that owner/manager is letting staff drown around him. Shame on you.

Decided to use the restroom to give them a bit more time to get it together, and still nothing. The women's bathroom was also completely out of toilet paper and paper towels at 11am. I notified the staff and even still, no one came to check in with our table. Super disappointed... was really looking forward to trying this place. Shoutout to the girl taking photos though, appreciate you and our photo.

When i was about to leave, I asked a staff for a cup of ice since my "hot latte" wasn't hot anymore. She had the most sweetest kindest attitude about it and asked me if the drink was too strong for me and offered to add oatmilk to make it iced and into my liking. She really made my day and I got to enjoy my drink just how I like it!

Tons of indoor and outdoor seating, and even on a Monday morning it was packed (but still easy enough to grab a table). The food? So good. That homemade lemonade honey drink is to die for. I had the Big Papa Burrito -- chorizo, potatoes, egg, and cheese wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla made right here in Phoenix -- and it absolutely lives up to the name. Huge and delicious.

In December 2025, Matt's Big Breakfast expanded and relocated to its current location which has a larger dining area + keeping the same menu. The new location is right next to the old location. [Parking]: I didn't see any available spots in the designated parking lot behind the restaurant, so I ended up parking few blocks away from the shop (plenty of metered parking spots near the intersection of E McKinley St & N 5th St). [Waiting time & Ambiance]: Our party waited about 5 minutes before getting bar seats. The restaurant has indoor tables, bar seating, and outdoor tables. [Menu]: According to the Food Network bio, specialty dishes at Matt's Big Breakfast include waffles, bacon, and The Chop & Chick (breakfast pork chops with eggs). Yelp's top highlighted items are The Hog and Chick, The Five Spot Platter, and Salami Scramble. *** Waffle with Bacon (made-from-scratch Belgian-style waffle, sweet cream butter and 100% Vermont maple syrup with two slices of thick-cut bacon - $12.49): A crispy waffle with two large slices of thick-cut hickory-smoked bacon. The bacon had a lot of pepper and tasted a bit dry. *** A solid 3.5-star on food, but bump down to 3-star due to not getting a refill on our bottomless coffee order.
