So glad we decided on Black Bear Diner for breakfast this morning. The portions were huge! My cinnamon roll French toast was amazing . I got the mocha iced coffee as well, and it was so good. My dad enjoyed his burger and fries, and said the grilled onions were perfect. Our server was absolutely amazing, and very attentive. We love the aesthetic of the restaurant and will continue to come back! read more

First, and most importantly, our server, Bridgette, was AMAZING!!! She provided the best service I have experienced in a very long time. My drink never ran dry, she made sure we were not lacking anything at all, and she was very pleasant the entire time. The food was good , the atmosphere was very inviting, and the merchandise was adorable. The best part of the dining experience was most definitely Bridgette! She was just fabulous! read more

I loved my waitress her name is diamond. Really nice, polite young lady. Food was amazing as well!

For mid-morning on a Saturday the wait was minimal. Food came out quick and was delicious! I always ask for crispy bacon and that is what I received. How they made the thick sliced bacon perfectly crispy is a miracle. Our server was a sweet gal named Jen! She was an absolute pro! Great experience and will return again soon. BTW... we drove from Pearland to check this place out!

Walking in the place feels pretty good. It has a nice atmosphere and they greet you when you come in so you feel welcome. The newspaper menu is very unique but I don't think it's as effective as it should be. Ordered and didn't wait long but the food was more than a bit disappointing. The chicken fried steak had an odd taste to it and the chicken avocado club was pretty dry. Once they sit you down they don't check on you so you have to flag someone down if you want something. Maybe it's just my own taste but I don't think I would choose to go again.. read more

I am so happy Black Bear Diner has moved into Texas! We first had Black Bear in Sacramento, and every time we went back to visit, always made a point to eat at Black Bear. The pancakes are the best!!! I am in Houston for the week and was pleasantly surprised to see a Black Bear so close to my hotel. Last night, I had tri-tip and eggs. The steak was well seasoned and my I did not leave disappointed or hungry. Tonight I had a sweet cream waffle, just as good as I remembered from Sacramento. Both last night and tonight, I had excellent service, which made my experience even better. Since I live in Fort Worth, I am excited for the new diner that will be opening in our area later this year! read more

Visiting from out of town. Parking is fine and restaraunt was clean. Our waitress Rubio was very nice and informative she gets 5. We all ended up getting pancakes, hash browns, and eggs. We all had mixed reviews on the pancakes. I thought they were not good. 2 felt they were alright and 2 others liked them! Hash browns were a hit overall. Uniquely shredded and crisp how I like them without asking. The waitress said their bacon is very good and my son agreed it was the best. We all didn't like that the cheese on our eggs were not melted at all. I like to add if I would come back after my rating. Sometimes my rating may be low but I will still go back bc I feel the restaraunt has the potential to give us a better experience all around next time. Our family would not come back. read more

We've eaten twice at this restaurant and for just being open, they ran the kitchen smoothly. First time it was packed but we didn't wait that long to the be seated down. Second time, we went for dinner and got sat down right away. For breakfast we didn't take any pictures, we were hungry but the food was good. Delicious pancakes and waffles. Dinner was good too. We will come back when we are craving tasty food. read more

The food is very good, the service is excellent, but the desserts especially the chocolate cake. The cake is very dry. No moisture whatsoever just ate there yesterday our third visit. All three visits that we have made there. I have always ordered the Bob's big bear burger. The bun for this big hamburger is not big enough. When you start to eat if you cut the burger in half and start to eat it. It falls apart because the bun is not big enough because they put a lot of lettuce on the burger. Trust me the burger is so big you have to cut it in half that why it it comes to your table with a steak knife stuck in the middle of the burger!!!!!!! But even when you cut it into halves the patty's not the same size all the way around.but it's still the best burger in Pasadena tx there is to eat. I wish I had a job there making the burger better. I know a lot when it comes to making burgers. There are only three places that I will eat a hamburger at, the Black Bear, the burger house, and my backyard. read more

Food and ambience is incredible. Victoria is wonderful, brings the word of the God to all of her tables and delivers excellent service!!

The service was terrible. Our waitress was a big older lady with glasses and she left us with no service for over an hour. We had finished our food and were waiting for to go boxes and our check. It wasn't even busy she just wouldn't visit our table because it was two teenagers. The drinks are way overpriced as well in what world should an orange juice be 6 dollars. It was overall the worst experience i have had yet. read more

We ate here this afternoon. We both ordered The Grizz. Our food was perfect. Our server Zenaida was very attentive to whatever we needed.

My husband and I have breakfast here anytime we are in the area. On June 24 we were there and our waitress, Mecheale, was wonderful! She provided everything we needed for the perfect meal! She did so with such a helpful, sweet attitude, towards us and others, including g a couple of elderly regulars that came in while we were there. I hope we get her again. read more

I have visited the Humble location a few times in the past and liked it so I decided to give the Pasadena location a try, while I was in the area. Boy, was I underwhelmed! The grits were terrible. They had a texture about them - like a pasty after taste. Idk but I never want to taste grits like that ever again in this life or the next. So, I requested hash browns in place of the grits. The hash browns came out burnt and season-less. I actually never finished the food. The whole meal was subpar. The greeter sat me at a dirty table and just walked away. He was not warm AT ALL. The bright side - my waitress was nice. read more

We went to Black Bear Diner for the first time on a Wednesday night. It was pretty quiet and not crowded. I've heard mixed reviews but decided to try it out. I'm glad we did! We ordered "The Grizz" breakfast which was enough for 2 people to share. It came with 2 pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and hash browns. The pancakes were really good! Sweet and fluffy as they should be. The bacon was also very good. I'm picky about bacon. I usually am not a fan of thick-cut bacon but I loved theirs. It was crispy how I like it. Sometimes thick-cut bacon isn't super crispy. I prefer my bacon extra crispy. It was cooked to perfection! The hash browns were cut differently. They were a little bland. They could have used more seasoning but other than that, they were great. I also enjoyed the sausage links. Very flavorful and were browned perfectly. I like that you can order breakfast all day long. My boyfriend loves eating breakfast for dinner. We will definitely be back for breakfast again. I'd also like to try their lunch and dinner. read more

Ok We decided to give BBD another try . We went a few months ago .The potatoes with onion and peppers were burnt .I sent a picture to the corp office never heard back . Tried again today .I ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict .It should be muffin ,ham ,egg and hollandaise sauce . Well it was a muffin ,grilled slice tomato,spinach egg and hollandaise sauce .It was pure mush !!! Just awful ..I told the waitress and she told me she put the wrong order in .. Didn't bother to tell me she would turn in the correct order,no discount for me having to take off everything except the egg and muffin . Does BBD not have managers . Do they Not have anybody at Corp to get back to customers .... It had such a nice atmosphere . Just don't order any food ... read more

I have been reading the reviews for this place for awhile so I decided to try it out. Reminds me of a the Great Wolf Lodge restaurants at the resorts. Nice, and clean even though they didn't pick up dirty dishes quickly after the guests leave. The food was good,, it took a little bit and they weren't busy but for the most part I didn't have anything else to do this day. The chicken noodle soup needed flavor but a little salt and pepper did the trick. The burger was huge, the tri tip had a wonderful taste but I was disappointed with the baked potato. First we had to wait until 4 pm At 3:50 pm to be able to order this dinner item. You could not order the baked potato until 4 pm so I figured it would be fresh and piping hot, wrong... then to top it off I had to pay $1.99 extra for sour cream and cheese which if you look at the potato photo, it barely had any on it and it lacked butter. I didn't want to take a chance of saying anything because I probably would have paid extra for the side again. The table sauces were all great tasting. It was about a 20-25 minute drive that I probably won't do anytime soon. It was worth a try. The iced sweet tea was on point though and the toast that I ordered with the meal was awesome. read more

Visited this location tonight 06/29/2023 and was served by Mecheale. First class service and first class food. Restaurant was further than quite a few I drove past to get there but worth the effort. Thanks Mecheale for the hospitality. read more

The food was pretty good however the fruit cup I got was moldy. When I told them about it she got an attitude when she walked away, they did not apologize or take it off our order. When we asked about it they said no and that they would only give us another fruit cup.... Why would I want another fruit cup knowing it all came from the same moldy fruit? Everything else was fine just wish they would have at least apologized for serving moldy fruit and taken it off our order. If a health inspector knew they were selling and serving decaying food ? It would not slide. read more

Service 6/10, Food, 0/10 I ordered over the phone and waited over 35 minutes for my food. Once i received my food i had to wait an additional 5 minutes for them to serve my drinks because they weren't ready when the food was. They served my french toast with cantaloupe and grapes. WHO THE FUCK EATS FRENCH TOAST WITH WALMART FRUIT. And on TOP OF THAT, my French toast is really just some humid ass white toast. No powdered sugar. No whipped cream. I paid $31 for this and they still somehow forgot my hashbrowns. MY SUGGESTION for you to improve your service: 1. Hire adults, not young teenagers who cant handle the pressure of restaurant foot traffic 2. Have more than 1 worker at the front desk because that man is obviously NEW and a rookie. Answering phone calls and taking full orders while a line of customers are waiting to get checked out 3. LEARN TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST 4. Hire me cause I'm obviously doing your job read more

I want to try Black Bear on a Monday service was great atmosphere very chill . The menu looks like a newspaper so if you never been and see it read it because some people get confused about it which is funny, the food is actually great for breakfast it's very recommended to try out everything is fresh and has full of flavor. If you're in the Pasadena area this location is definitely different and good to try out I'd say it's better than most places within the Pasadena area . read more

After months of Covid and supply chain delays, my wife and I drove by the new Black Bear Diner today and noticed dozens of cars in the parking lot. We were looking to eat breakfast and we were amazed at our luck, so we parked and headed in. The front door had a sign saying they were open for guests by invitation only, so we started to turn around to leave when the manager invited us in. The manager said there would be no charge because today was a soft opening to train employees and prepare for the April 14th actual opening. Let me make clear - my review is based upon the food and service we received and not the free pass. First, the coffee. I like my coffee strong and that's what they serve here - not watered down facsimile of coffee lite. I ordered a sweet cream waffle, 2 scrambled eggs and crisp bacon, with a side of crispy hash browns. Everything was delicious - the waffle was huge, I could only eat half of it, the eggs were nicely scrambled, and the thick bacon had an amazing taste. I really enjoyed the hash browns as well - next time I will ask to add cheese, onions and tomato. Our server was named Mariah and she did an outstanding job of educating us and making suggestions - her service was impeccable! Really enjoyed our meal and experience in a brand new very clean restaurant eager to please - we will definitely be back to and look forward to trying their lunch and dinner menus as well. They are located near the intersection of Vista and BW 8 in Pasadena's mini restaurant row. read more

I give it three stars due to the food and service. The Burger was amazing but little sad on how much onions rings I got that came with it. The service here needs some improvement. Took about ten minutes until we were greeted by our server. From an ex servers perspective view, ask the guests if it their first time here since it is a new establishment, give a couple of suggestions, consolidate with your tables in your section so you do not have to make multiple trips, our server never offered dessert and the child had to bring up her free dessert after the check was dropped and last but not least, always check your ticket before you drop it at the table. Got mixed up between another table and ours and they would have been stuck with our ticket. Overall, the theme of the restaurant was pretty cool. read more

First time trying this place, we came for breakfast & got seated immediately, no wait. So that was good. The restaurant itself is super cute & bear themed. Now, the food was very mediocre. I got a 2 egg breakfast with bacon, hash browns & a biscuit. I asked for the hash browns extra crispy & they were actually kind of soggy, the biscuit was huge but very dry, the bacon was greasy & soggy as well. I'd didn't taste horrible so I definitely want to come back for lunch/Dinner & give them another shot. Breakfast isn't the best but they have lots of options on the menu. read more

So this review is based on 3 times there. The first time was pretty packed but not bad of a wait. The service was good. They got 3 of our orders wrong . But it was their 2nd day open. So I let that slide and they discounted our bill. Food was good the menu is overwhelming. The restaurant is cute kinda reminds me of Ruidoso NM lots of bears. All in all we will come because of the space and big area. My to go place Waffle House for sure. Only problem is they are so small!!!! Eh read more

Ordered pickup and arrived after notification order was ready for pickup. I waited while the server checked out customers, seated customers. After I gave her my name for pickup I waited and watched her wait on inside diners, while my food sat at the kitchen counter for 15 minutes. Another server eventually brought my order. Completely unacceptable. I have picked up orders from restaurants that have a designated pickup setup. read more
