    The breakfast for dinner options

    Went Saturday around 2 and seated right away and service very nice and tea with lemon was always refilled and we were checked on as well

    Bottomless Coffee

    California really needs more diner style restaurants and Black Bear Diner definitely is helping keep diners alive. It's not my favorite restaurant chain in the world, but its the job done. It obviously appeals to a lot of people because during breakfast hours on the weekend it gets packed in this Manteca location. As soon as you pull up to the front of this restaurant you're greeted with their bear sculptures in front and really sets it apart from any other diner. Service is pretty good and attentive. My table got seated pretty quickly. You get the home type of feel when you're here and it definitely feels old fashioned. I also enjoy their bottomless coffees and their Black Bear cups. In my recent visit I ordered the Corned Beef Hash ($14.99) with pancakes on the side. I ordered over easy eggs, but I ended up with sunny side up eggs and the surface is a little runny which is why I wanted over easy. The hash browns are also notoriously not great and I personally was not a fan. I had to douse them with salt, pepper, and ketchup. The corn beef was filling, but didn't have a ton of flavor. It was pretty moist even though I thought it looked a little dry. I loved the pancake though and it was really filling while also really soft. It has a fluffy texture and it really hits the spot with a cup of black coffee. Their food is average to me, but I still like the ambiance of coming here and the service is great. My family has an obsession with coming here so I end up here from time to time and its a decent restaurant overall.

    Friendly and positive staff. The food never disappoints at BBD. The Manteca location is very convenient to the freeway.

    I had the avocado toast with poached eggs and fresh fruit. It was very good and the perfect amount of food. The service was a little spotty. Didn't get refills of water or coffee or the grilled jalapeño till we were almost done with our meal. The restaurant was busy and not as loud as I would expect for the amount of people that we there. I do enjoy their avavocado toast as it has exactly what I like, not all restaurants avocado toast have exactly what I like. Thank you.

    Black Bear is a great choice for any meal. The portions are large and fairly priced. The service is good and the restaurant isn't usually crowded. It's not fancy but fancy doesn't equal good. I have eaten their for years and never had a bad meal.

    Went to this diner for Father's Day, I've been to a Black Bear Diner before and it was amazing. The service here was amazing, and so was the food. The place looks like an old cabin that is very peaceful. I devoured my food, and so did the rest my family. My grandma ment to order a taco but got the taco salad. Lol.

My favorite is the chorizo omelette with a side of strawberries. The omelette is flavorful without being greasy, and the strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The toast is decent, though I think trying a different bread brand could make it even better. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive. Orders come out quickly, and coffee refills are always topped off without having to ask. Overall, Frank's is a great spot for breakfast and definitely worth checking out.

The food was really good and definitely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food.

That said, we're still willing to give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves, because the food alone makes it worth another visit.

I ordered a plate of crispy hashbrowns topped with tender pulled pork, smothered in rich, creamy gravy, and sprinkled with fresh jalapeños for a perfect kick. It was comforting without being heavy, like a warm hug you didn't know you needed. But the best part? They had fun flavored mimosas that made brunch feel like a celebration. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was bright, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the savory food. (Rachel Green would approve.) The staff was friendly, kept the coffee refills coming, and made us feel welcome without hovering. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough to leave you full but not overly stuffed. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, good vibes, and a reason to say "How you doin'?" to your mimosa, this is it. Can't wait to come back and bring friends for a brunch round two.

They were just good people who enjoyed what they did and that was awesome. The only annoying thing was it took three tries to get someone to bring a container so we could take one of the sandwich wraps home. The restaurant was clean, spacious, well lit, and cheerful. I appreciated the theme of the movie posters on the wall. That was clever. The food on the other hand was just ok. The fries lacked flavor on their own and could use salt or something. If it wasn't for the garlic on the one fries and whatever it was my wife had on hers those fries would have had no flavor at all. The wrap could have used more dressing, otherwise it was really bland. I had the burger with the egg on it. I forget the name. It had the same problem. Just a lack of flavor. The egg was overcooked. It would have been better if it was sunny side up so the yolk could run. I think it had bacon on it and cheese but I didn't taste either of those. The entire burger was just unremarkable sadly. Would I eat here again? Probably not. If I want a good place to go hang out with friends who work then sure. The staff was great. I just wish the food measures up to how cool they were.
