Finally a classic diner!! As a native New Yorker, I miss a good ole fashioned diner. This place is it! Stopped in one weekend while we were out exploring and it was awesome. They make all the classics and they make them right! It was about noon and there was still a lively breakfast crew enjoying pancakes, eggs and triple decker sandwiches. I wish we lived closer just to get a taste of home. read more

Tick tock, tick tock went the clock ! We ordered our food, drinks came quickly, but it was an exceptionally long wait. Our friends ordered the tri tip and it was good, but I ordered the Chicken Avacado Club with fries and my husband the Patty Melt. When it was served to us the fries were cold the chicken was really dry and cool- you could tell it sat under a light for a long time. The unfortunate part is we never heard an apology for the wait and no one ever asked how the food was. Other than that the setting is super cute with little Black Bear's, chainsaw carvings of bears and lovely patio setting for a diner. read more

The food was great, what made the best experience ever was the hostess, she was amazing and made the experience enjoyable.

Ate here twice because my friend was super excited to go back. Great food and excellent service. Portions are generous - sometimes too generous. I was starving after driving all day and ordered a large hamburger. Turns out, it was enormous. Give it a try if you want a lot of meat! I also had their tri tip deluxe sandwich, which was delicious. My friend had their veggie omelette and a normal sized burger. He loved both. The shakes come with the can. Had a different waitress both times. Both ladies were working hard. Both of them checked on us a few times. Saw one of them calm down some kids with kindness after they got screamed at by their father. Gave her a large tip. They are following social distance requirements and seating people apart, so there may be a bit of a wait but it's worth it. Also, we saw a lot of to go orders the second time they were there, so even if it doesn't look like they are busy while you wait, they may be. Al fresco dining available. read more

I eat at Black Bears all the time. Predictable meals and service and this franchise was no exception. I was starved so I had the Griz. Heaps of food at a very reasonable price. Excellent waitress who never let my coffee cup get less than half full. She was one hard working girl. Your experience may vary and no idea if the other staff as as on their game as this gal was but this was one of the better BBs I've eaten at and as I said, I've been to a lot of them. I;d give them 6 stars if that was an option. read more

My dinner was very tasty, however the employee stocking the pastry cabinet was violating health codes. He was a young gentleman transferring bear claws and pies to the case without wearing gloves. I watched as he picked up every pastry with his bare hands. This is so against health codes. This employee needs training. Very unsatisfactory and unsanitary read more

This restaurant is by far one of, if not the best in Sequim. The service is super, the food is superior and the all around atmosphere is outstanding. Eric the Manager is super nice, friendly and a true asset to this restaurant. Our server was Christina, she is a doll. Even on a very busy night like tonight she all smiles and took very good care of us. You can't go wrong here either if you reside here or just passing through. 5 Star service read less Crystal A.'s profile image Crystal A. on Birdeye 10 months ago My family and I absolutely love this diner!

Anna H.'s profile image Anna H. on Birdeye a year ago My husband's omelet, toast, and potatoes were perfect! (And he rarely says that.) Not knowing the restaurant closes at 8:00 pm, we came in about ten minutes before. Our server Kim was very nice and made us feel at home and not rushed. We'll be back!

This is one of my favorite stops on the way to Olympic national park. I first stumbled upon it when my friends and I were going camping and we needed to charge their Tesla. There was a supercharger in this parking lot and luckily there was a place to eat as well. Boy was it a good find. I ordered a chicken fried steak and eggs and split it with a friend. It was one of the best ones I've ever had. Everything tasted very hearty and delicious and something about the eggs that day was very fresh and tasty. Fast forward to today and they've expanded their chicken fried steak options. I ordered the CFS kitchen sink omelette (with gravy and cheese separated for dietary reasons) and it was a great medium between two difficult choices I usually have at diners, whether to get an omelette, eggs Benedict, or my usual chicken fried steak with two sunny side up eggs. Everything tasted great here and I was glad I was able to enjoy a nice omelette. Now that the itch is scratched, I think I'll go back to my sunny side up eggs. Nothing quite beats the delicious yolk on top of a CFS. read more

Always stop at Black Bear when I travel from Kitsap County. Last night I had the worst meal ever despite their burgers always being on the dry side. Ordered their Original Scrambowl. It was supposed to consisted of potatoes, ham, bacon, sausage, pickled jalapeño, scrambled eggs and cheese smothered with gravy. To be served with bIscuit. What I got was was 95% hard rock potatoes and jalapeño with no meat, one scrambled egg (if that) and spoonful gravy. Served with English muffin. Tried to get servers attention to return my food and order something else. Was no where to be found. Saw her as I went to bathroom and asked for to go box. Box was waiting when I got back to table and paid the check stupidly leaving top. Was very annoyed with someone cleaning/sweeping floors at my table. Rude. Very. Store could use some deep cleaning service but ambiance was as it is for their stores. Not sure if I'd stop there again on my next trip to Sequim. May be time to be adventurous. read more

This was such a disappointment after hearing nothing but rave reviews about this restaurant. Found a hair in my food. My eggs were not cooked nor the hashbrowns. The only thing good out of there was the brownie that I took home. read more

We had great service here and are usually big fans of Black Bear diners. However our meal was just below average with canned green beans and the fish and chips pale and breaded and skimpy. We wished we had gone to somewhere local if you are in a pinch try the burgers but the ribs were almost meatless and you know I feel about the fish n chips. Let me say the waitress was very nice and attentive read more

If you're in the area and wondering where to grab a bite to eat, Black Bear Diner is a must have spot. To start, this place is cute as a button. Black bear decorations from the entire outside to inside, black bear themed goods such as hot sauce (which was surprisingly delicious we bought all three types), and black bear decorations inside. The staff are friendly, attentive, good hearted people with fun personalities! Food is wonderful, portions are HUGE, but there are still options to go lighter. We ate here over a two day period because it was that good. Chicken club avocado sandwich was tasty and light, huckleberry bear claw was gigantic and unforgettable, huckleberry lemonade was spectacular, great clam chowder, and delicious BLT's. Do yourself a favor and eat here already. read more

This restaurant is adorable, the service was fantastic. Delicious diner food with an extensive menu, and the portions are gigantic. Deducting a star for pricing - it's a little expensive, for breakfast at least. Don't get me wrong - the pricing is commensurate with the portions, but we couldn't eat it all so it's kind of a waste. Blackberry bear claw was delicious, I just wish I didn't see the calories on the menu read more

What more can I say about Black Bear? I've been going to them all over the place and never disappointed. This particular one had to modify their hours because nobody wants to work these days. The staff that is working is very busy but we were attended to properly. Our food was promptly served and it was good and filling. I had the black bear burger with bacon. Stand by if you order this. It's HUGE. You can't go wrong for comfort food at this chain. read more

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend for the best french dip that I was craving, We were traveling to visit family. The only person who had a smile was the young girl who sat us. The waitress was the least friendly. She took our order and that was the last we saw of her. She even went off shift without checking on us and we just sat there waiting for our bill. My sons patty melt sat in the window for at least 15 mins while they prepared the worst french dip I have had. We were so disappointed in our experience. I wish I had the opportunity to have gotten the waitress's name because she needs a lesson in customer service. Our visit was on 8/25/24 I did send a email and have yet been contacted. read more

One of the worst restaurant visits we've ever had. Service was awful and food was even worse: boiled ribs, cold fries and wrong food 3 times. I'd avoid coming here or any restaurant named black bear ever again. Don't ask for Stephanie for service either. read more

Best burger and milk shake that I have ever had. Will definitely be back. The service and ambience exceeded my expectations, as well.

Sorry to say they do not know how to make a patty melt! It was not grilled so not nice and melty, was made with a round patty so 1/4 of the sandwich was just bread. Salad was wilted and had some awful brown lettuce in it and it didn't appear to be chilled. Hubby had chicken fried steak said it was good. Maybe we will go back next time we are in the area but will be careful what I order. After reading other reviews maybe our experience was not so unusual! Also there was a very loud person in the kitchen who didn't seem to be cooking. We could hear him all over the building. read more

This place is the bees knees! Manager Shayna certainly knows her way around customer service and goes above and beyond to ensure the best experience one can have. I have been to other BB locations and the best by far is Sequim - superior cooks, wait staff, table staff, and of course a gem of a manager - thanks everyone, we will see you again in a couple of weeks when we move to Sequim! read more

We absolutely loved the Black Bear Diner!! We were in Sequim for 2 nights visiting the park from NYC and ended up eating here both nights because we enjoyed it so much. Misty was an absolute delight as a server as well!! We sat outside by the fire that they had going on the patio and it was the most wonderful way to end out day, not to mention the delicious pancakes and biscuits!! read more

Wow! Such an incredible diner! Super cute cabin feel with Great & fast service. Huge portions. We got a delicious Oreo milkshake, the sweet cream pancakes, tuna melt, omelet & burger. All delicious. Definitely have to try their pancakes. Great stop after finishing backpacking in the Olympic National park! read more

We had dinner there last night. It is right across from Holiday Inn. Dinner was $60 for two adults and one child. It was our first time eating at Black Bear Diner. Great selections of homemade style meals. Meatloaf was good. The muffin was nice and warm. My kid finished the Mac&cheese. Stephanie was great. read more

On month 10 of the 15 day shutdown, I finally decided to vist black bear diner to get my free birthday breakfast meal. The worst part was that I couldn't eat inside. The best part was that it was free. Since business is a bit slow nowadays, I was able to enjoy my waffle, eggs, and sausages at the fire table outside . The fire helped provide some warmth, but the local mini-waterfall and hummingbirds really helped make this place feel special. All the food was hot and delicious, and the waitress inside was very nice. This place continues to be a great place to grab a bit to eat. read more

Worst experience ever. Waited 25 minutes to be seated. Once seated, was told server will be coming shortly to take our order. Waited 20 minutes and no server came. 2 waitresses kept passing by but no acknowledgement. Party seated after us ordered wine and waitress took their order right away while no one came to our table. Had to flag host to try to order. Decided that if the service was this poor so far, we didn't want to see what the rest of the night was like. The host offered free dessert to go as a way to make up for the poor experience. We kindly declined and left. Would not recommend this location. read more

We were really excited to eat here after seeing a couple reviews stating it was kid friendly and the menu looked good. But the night we went in, we were told it would be a 15 minute wait, even though there were empty tables, but we figured maybe they were short staffed and didn't mind waiting. But after a few minutes I heard the hostess tell another employee that she was "making them wait". There also seemed to be only one waitress actually helping people, while 2 others were standing together talking most of the time we waited. The next group came in and were told 30 minute wait. A third group came in and the 2nd employee told them "yeah you guys should probably go somewhere else, it's going to be like an hour" They were obviously trying to get rid of people so we left. Very disappointing service. read more

The food was very mid. Service was horrible, it took over an hour to get our food. They also do not how to make poached eggs!

This was a nice way to end our day after the Olympic Game Farm. The service was great and the comfort food was good as usual. The whole family enjoyed it. read more

Great food with very generous portions! It had been a long day and I was hungry so I ordered the Fit and Focused scramble as well as Bruce's Meat Lovers omelette. Mom snagged their slow roasted pot roast dinner. The Fit and Focused scramble was quite tasty with just the eggs whites and the combination of spinach and mushrooms mixed in. Not much avocado though. There was A LOT of cheese on top though and I ended up scraping a little more than half off. The Meat Lovers omelette was phenomenal. It was well stuffed with the various meats, cooked just right. If you're a meat fan that is definitely the way to go. That had cheese on top as well but not as much as the scramble. If you want to cut a little more calories from your meal it's worth asking if they can skip adding the cheese. I tried some of mom's pot roast and corn and while the pot roast tasted great, the corn was overdone and too chewy so she was only able to eat a few bites. It should also be noted she originally ordered green beans but our waiter informed us about 10 mins after we ordered the kitchen was out of green beans (about 230pm). Our waiter created a friendly atmosphere though! She was really nice. The prices aren't bad at all considering the portions sizes - especially the amount of pot roast mom got. And as of my review they have a yelp special where you get a free pie or dessert if you check in so that's worth utilizing as well if you find yourself here. Overall it was a good, hearty meal and I'd stop by again and try something else. read more

1. Friendly kind service - they remember my mom and ask about my dad- who is unwell and cannot come in. Nice to see the extra TLC they give some of their elderly regular customers. 2. It's possible to sit outside with your dog. They thoughtfully asked if we wanted water for the dog. 3. The menu is extensive. It even includes an avocado toast. You can often get many breakfast items all day 4. Sitting outside near the water feature between the diner and the lodging can be quite lovely. read more
