    Egg Classic Benedict* (760-1580 cals.)
    Liz A.

    Had such a wonderful time at Black bear diner in Palmdale Ca. The manager Rosie was so friendly and helpful. All the waitresses are very friendly and quick in seating us & taking our order. I was impressed with how well they managed to attend us even though it was a full house. Overall 10/10 the food was delicious and the coffee is my favorite thing about this place!!

    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!

    The portions are good, very filling. The crew was very attentive and always checking on us. For a Sunday morning I was surprised it wasn't packed, we just waited about 5 min, but it has a big dining area with plenty seating.

    Veggie scramble. Looks wet.

    Seems like this place has gone down hill. When it first opened everything was fine, my last visit with horrible. I thought it was a joke. As we are being sat the waitress says, " we dont have bacon, fries, chicken tenders" and walks off. Okay, that was random. The restaurant was damn there empty aside from about five tables but it takes our waitress over 15 minutes to greet us. We order our food and our drinks take another 15 minutes to come! I watch her serve drinks to family who just arrived while I am still waiting on a tea. Everything she provided us was DIRTY! The cups had hard food on the inside, food on the outside, the straws were delivered wet with food on it. The utensils had dried food on it. I tell her my cup is dirty and she says really and looks inside. I receive my tea and inside the cup is dirty again! Just keep it. My food finally arrives to the table, a egg scramble, and it appears to be wet. The waitress says they can cook it longer. It came back 5 minutes later looking exactly the same. I taste the eggs and they don't taste real. Perhaps powder eggs but there is a puddle of grease underneath. I ask the waitress what kind of eggs did they use to make this and she said "liquid eggs". She said they use regular eggs per request.... Wow, yeah, no, take all of this back. No thanks. Maybe its this location, but until things change. I'm out.

    Great place for a family breakfast. Friendly service and quality food. It is not an intimate restaurant, but that's not what people come here for.

    Sunday March 16, 2025: Our Server was Brianna! I have to say that she gave the BEST customer service we have had in a long time. This young lady was amazing! The Food: Sadly the Food quality was not great, especially for the prices. Pancakes: They were bland and perhaps the flour was missing oil and a pinch of salt. They were dry and flourish. Syrup was thin and liquidity. Chicken Fried Steak: The pattie was very light compared to other's I've had. It wasn't bad at all. The gravy had a nice light flavor to it as well. Two people could share as the portion size was truly a Big Bear. Country Potatoes: They were almost perfectly except for the part where some of the potatoes were well done and crunchy inside. But they were still good. Eggs were typical...No complaints Fish and Chips: Fish was terrible. No flavor and like rubber inside. Definitely fresh out a deep freezer and the grease may have been too hot for the fish to cook properly. Very BLAND indeeded. The Fries were typical ... perhaps a little overcooked. I got broccoli instead of Slaw; it was typical. The Tarter was perhaps missing Dill and Pickle. Coffee was good. Pepsi was a little flat to taste but okay I guess. I really had high hopes for this place but sadly the only reason we would visit again was to have Brianna service us. She was truly amazing. I would say, I would have rather taken the drive to Cracker Barrel for the Chicken Fried Chicken. Oh! This is just my opinion. The place was packed so obviously people enjoy the Food. Give it a try!

Was told the Horchata for around $5 was pretty good. We received complimentary chips and salsa and it was spicy, but good. The Fresh Tableside Guacamole was made fresh in front of us and was really good. They use the same chips for the salsa and guacamole. We were able to get multiple refills on the chips. The Street Corn was not good and was on the buttery side. The Crispy Chicken Flautas was really good with the sauces and came out hot and crispy. Both of the margaritas were weak, but we preferred the pomegranate over midori melon for flavor. They forgot our to go order and we had to go back to get it. Our waitress was nice but she was really busy and it was hard to get service. Would get the Fresh Tableside Guacamole and Crispy Chicken Flautas again.

Plenty of booths and some two tops that can accommodate parties more than 4 people. We walked in and were instantly greeted by Irma at the counter. As she pointed out available booths, she gave us the rundown on breakfast specials (that are also written on the grease board). Besides a hot cup o' Joe- I wanted some light bites. My typical breakfast plates would consist of Country Fried Steak/ Corned Beef Hash/ or Steak & Eggs. This time- when I heard Irma mention Beef Barley soup, I thought a cup would suffice. Along with that- sides of crispy bacon (I think 5 strips came in that order) & an English muffin. Which was toasted to perfection. Once I took my first spoonful of the Beef Barley soup- I knew I was gonna order an entire bowl. The strips of beef had some of the tasty gristle that truly makes the broth. Simple hearty soup. No shortage of barley and beef. I haven't had this soup in so long, it brought me back to childhood. I couldn't stop raving about it, (I'm a gal of simple pleasures) to other patrons. Hubby's breakfast combo came with a huge portion of hash browns. I told him to pack it up in a To Go container w/ the remaining bacon.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered.

The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining.
