    Pancakes scrambled eggs and Hickory Smoked Ham Steak
    Dorian S.

    Was my 3rd time at this Black Bear Diner. Because I have a mixed review is the reason I give it three stars. My first and third time here I got the pictured fried steak, eggs, and side. The bad: My second time here i got hash and eggs. The hash was lackluster and small in portion size, I waited a very long time on a Sunday after noon (to be expected) but unfortunately we got lost in line. me and my girlfriend were skipped, arriving before "coupled" guests that got seated quickly and1 very large party. Couldn't have been reservations cause I watched the receptionists write names down. Soon after complaining we got seated after a short wait. It did feel busy that day, but nothing out of the ordinary for a Sunday after church. The good: My first and third visit we were seated quickly, the food was hot when it came out and the servers were tentative and seamed to work in tandem. Attached is the food from my third visit. Wanted to also note the ham slice small in portion size but my fried steak was large and tasted good for a traditional breakfast spot. Everything was good. To be expected.

    So today 7/6/26 I walked in this establishment for the second time, it wasn't busy at all. Greeted by the front cashier and waited over 20min to get seated. I then realized this is way I walked out the first time. Quickly went over to Chelly's cafe and as soon as my family and I walked through there doors we got greeted and seated. Ohhh their food is amazing!!!

    Sweet Cream Belgian Waffle (extra toasted) with eggs and sausage

    Update review: stopped by for breakfast. I ordered my usual (waffle) and boyfriend ordered their blackberry bear claw french toast. In short, we enjoyed our food and will return!

    Love coming here with the family. Everything is always good and comes with huge portions. The ambiance and staff are so comforting.

    Food was being reheated in microwave not acceptable at all. It should be that food should come out fresh and it did not

    I hate writing bad reviews and I was honestly so upset writing this and this is my second time coming to this location and today was just not it. The first time I came it was amazing and today was just beyond terrible. It took over one hour to get our food, the food was not cooked how we asked for it, it came out cold! Cold and honestly my party didn't to complain but I was already upset. my pancakes were terrible they were dry and had grease you can tell they were reheated , the bacon was not cooked how I asked, the eggs were cold and the worst part, I observed plates being reheated in the microwave!!! That's was the tip of the iceberg. Honestly this was the most terrible experience I've had. I went to black bear in Tarzana on Friday and it was not how it was today, the other location did a great job and this one did not . It infuriates me that we are paying for a good fish and plates came out cold. Honestly this was just so upsetting. I understand that the kitchen can get backed up but it was not acceptable that it took an hour and the food was just terrible. Please work on your kitchen and expo times and make sure food is taken to tables promptly and not just there sitting in the heat lamp for it to go cold and dry.

    8/13/2025: Our first time trying Black Bear Diner. I'm so glad that we decided to check them out in spite of negative reviews we've seen, because we are pleasantly surprised! I had fasted labs done in the late morning, so hubby and I thought it would be nice to go out for a late breakfast. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the doors and seated right away. Before leaving the table, our server asked what we would like drink while we look over the menu. Very efficient! We decided to share the Big Bacon Breakfast because.. who could eat that all alone? Thank goodness we shared because when the plates came out, we were shocked! We still had leftovers to take home. The bacon was delicious, the cat head biscuit (IYKYK) with southern sausage gravy hit the spot, the hash browns were golden brown and the eggs were perfect with runny yolks! The decor inside was cute. They've remodeled the former Souplantation and made it their own!The motif is adorable but not overbearing (see what I did there? ) I'd go back, but not without someone to share a meal. These are generous portions!

    My brother and I were on a road trip to kern River. We turned into parking lot looking for a diner Yelp said was good. Low and behold, Black Bear Diner. We always love it there. The breakfast is amazing with good portions. Service was quick and friendly. Whenever I am on the road I look for The black bear diner. So good.

The diner style interior is very well lite, clean but a bit smaller than I anticipated, they do have a good sized outdoor seating area and an ample parking lot in the back side of the building. The food, we ordered a Reuben Sandwich and a Cheeseburger. From what we had seen, the food looked great. The burger had lettuce, tomato,union, cheese, that oddly was not melted, a nice sauce, pickles and decent looking meat patty, unfortunately the last few bites of the meat patty had a funky taste, like it was a little old, hence the 3 star rating, the burger is also served with a decent amount of fries. The Reuben looked and tasted amazing, also served with a large portion of fries, one of the nice touches on this sandwich was the grilled Pastrami, this was a nice touch, its also served with sauerkraut & Swiss cheese on Rye. I do want to return to try the amazing looking breakfast options, they seem to have a huge variety of options. I also want to commend the wait stay, they were very nice and engaging, they came around multiple times to ensure that we had what we needed.

Definitely order the home fries over hash browns, they are well seasoned crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So delicious don't skip! The garden burger was also so delicious the patty is made of like oats and mushrooms and one more ingredient that I can't remember right now but it was superb! Definitely one of the best veggie burgers I have had! Top 5 for sure. Now the reason they didn't get 5 stars. The side of fruit that I ordered and two other plates on the table came with, wasn't fresh. It looked a day or a few days old. Only the melon was decent enough to eat. Next is more of a suggestion. I understand it's a diner but I feel like all restaurants/diners/cafes should have alternative milks such as oat, soy or almond milk. Because I asked for a cold brew but I had to drink it black due to the lack of alternative milks. Which was fine but I can't be the only person that has that suggestion. Overall Katz n' jammers cafe was a cute diner with 50s nostalgia on the walls and fair prices for good food!

As you walk in you are blown away from all of the wall and internal decor within every inch of the building including a car booth and Bettyboop statue. They have a bar in the dining area and are very supportive of our troops, you see many signs throughout the establishment. The menu is very ample with many options, I tried the eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. The dish was well presented and more importantly had great flavor. I had the majority of the dish and even had some leftovers. The food was served hot and very quickly. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. I would say that the only thing that stopped me from giving Otto's a 5 star was the cost of the breakfast, it was like 27 bucks for two eggs, hashbrowns and bacon with a drink. This will not keep me from revisiting Ottos but just be aware of the cost. I would recommend a visit.
