    The Original ScramBOWL (1560 cals.) (no potatoes or biscuit and gravy)
    Rebekah A.

    To be honest, you kinda know what to expect when you come here. For the most part the food will be passable, service is always hit or miss. To summarize our most recent experience quickly: - seated promptly - drink orders taken promptly. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and it was delivered with pink lemonade. Probably would've passed on a drink if I knew. - orders taken promptly - food arrived fast but no one asked if we needed sauce for the kids chicken tenders, and they forgot my husbands salad. - server didn't check on us for quite some time once food hit, and only the one time. Given we had a toddler we sure could've used a few extra napkins. Food: - Requested our potatoes and hashbrowns well done this time since last time we came they were soggy and had no crisp. They delivered. - I ordered my eggs over medium, they were definitely over easy. - husbands steak temp was correct - kids meal chicken tenders didn't have much color and could've been cooked a little longer for our preference, but were fully cooked through. It was a so/so experience overall. Some hiccups, some things done well. The place seemed clean overall, but being that I'm nearing the end of pregnancy my senses are heightened. I didn't go in, but I think the bathrooms were in rough shape. It kinda smelt like sewage in the waiting area which the bathrooms are attached to. It was also pretty warm inside, atleast where we were seated. I could see the wall thermostat saying it was 77. Perhaps warmer than that given we were seated near the kitchen.

    Went here on Easter so I expected it to be busy. So glad their counter was open and we found seats there. We left the previous BBD in Manteca that didn't offer counter seating on the weekend. I got the bears choice and it was delicious. Love BBD

    Wow has this place gone down hill! What a shame! Not only was the potatoes soggy and gross (when I asked for them crispy) the egg wasn't cooked right and the pancakes had a facial hair cooked into them! So gross, I couldn't even think of a replacement. The host also had an attitude for no reason. Don't think I'll be going back anytime soon! Yuck!

    Ribeye Steak & Eggs Special
    Terri R.

    It's been a while since I've done a review here but have been back many times. Went on a Friday morning around 9:30am and no wait to be seated, I've always loved the decor- comfy rustic with bears! Service is consistently great and the employees seem to all enjoy working there. Our server checked on us often and was super friendly. I tried the Southern Scramble which was good but I would order it with the mild next time. The hot wasn't hot to me at all, but the taste wasn't as good as the mild, which I've had. The country gravy is delish over the yummy biscuits and eggs. I'm sure I'll be back soon, on my next trip to the area.

    When it comes to breakfast/brunch, I am fairly easy to please, give me lots of good quality food and I am happy! The Bear gave me lots of this and more!!! When we drove into Tracy, CA, the Black Bear diner was the first thing we saw. It looked a little funky and we all laughed. The next morning my brother in law took me to the bear and I commented that I saw it last night. He said it was like a Denny's or IHOP. No way! As soon as I walked in, I saw the pastries and the entire place had a bear vibe! The service was excellent and they had a newspaper-like menu which I immediately spilled water on and to my surprise they took the menu back afterwards. I would have thought it was disposable. In any case after asking about grits and the texture (think soggy oatmeal - overcooked), I was going to order chicken fried steak and grits, I heard every ordering steak and eggs (the special). Well, in a last minute change I got the ribeye steak and eggs and GLAD I DID! WOW, the plate came with 3 eggs, ribeye steak, hash browns and a pancake! First off the steak was seasoned well. I mean when I travel people order steak everywhere and it's a sad sight to see how badly different places cook steak and how little they season. But the Bear came through. This steak was delicious!!!!!! The eggs cooked perfectly, the hash browns crispy and after all of that, the pancake tasted GREAT! I mean I ate it all and didn't have to eat anything for the rest of the day until something like 11:30p at night. I was raving about how good it was. My brother in law said it was OK but no. After eating at all kinds of lackluster places the Bear kicked "you know what". SO GOOD! I really wanted to order some bakery take out but my brother in law was footing the bill so you know..... What can I say? The Bear delivers! I'd like to go again!!!!

    The Black Bear Diner is our go to place to tack our twin toddlers out to eat. They LOVE seeing all the bears throughout the restaurant. The food is always good, the service is fast and efficient, and the restaurant is comfortable and clean. Nestor is the manager and always stops by our table to say hi and make sure everything is perfect. Thank you to Nestor and his team for always going above and beyond to give us a great experience!

    Country Chicken Fried Steak
    Tiera K.

    First time eating here with my family. Absolutely delicious! Hubby had the country fried steak. It was so good especially with the country gravy I had the Chicken Sausage scramble and it was delicious. So fulfilling and seasoned perfectly. Our server was kind. Definitely a family friendly restaurant. I'll have to return for dinner

    Fit and focused chicken Apple sausage scramble
    Mary H.

    We came in on a today evening and it was very slow. We still waited for awhile as we were ignored to be seated. Finally one of the ladies that was chatting with a server seated us after I flagged her. We ordered and when our fuss came the order was wrong, we had ordered bacon and recovered sausage. The server took the sausages with a fork off of my hubbies plate which was odd. Also the hash browns tasted like rancid oil. He ordered country potatoes well done. They came out very not done, so had to send those back to be crisped. The server acted a bit irritated. I ordered a chicken pot pie, which was really bland and gooey inside. Don't order, not worth the calories. I didn't eat that much of it and had no desire to take it home. Really disappointed in the food and service, won't be back! I give two states as the rest of the meal: ie, eggs, French toast and salad was fine.

    A COCKROACH

    Well well well...there a LIVE COCKROACH in the taco salad bowl, All tho there was great customer service, bad food service,manager didn't even care to give all of us free food because who knows how many more of those things have been in our food....

I love this new skillet as I don't really get skillets that often, if I had to change something, maybe layer it with onions and barbecue so the consistency continues and it doesn't feel underwhelming after you eat all the onions.

Huckleberry's is a great option if you're looking for breakfast. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious inside and can easily accommodate large groups. There are also a couple of semi-private dining areas toward the back that are slightly separated from the main dining room. The interior has a cozy, rustic feel with exposed brick that made me feel like I wasn't in Tracy. Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick to take our drink orders while we looked over the menu. The only minor disappointment was the drip coffee, which had a bit more bitterness than I prefer. I ordered a build-your-own omelet with three eggs, avocado, bacon, and cheese, served with fresh fruit and wheat toast. The omelet was a generous size, and they definitely didn't skimp on the bacon. The fruit was fresh, and the wheat toast had the perfect balance of being lightly crisp on the outside while still soft and buttery inside. Overall, I had a very good experience. The food was satisfying, the service was excellent, and the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the mood for breakfast.

We noticed that we were unable to order sides à la carte, and called the restaurant to see if there was anything that could be done. Their customer service goes above and beyond; not only did they go out of their way to add all of their sides to their DoorDash menu immediately, but they sent us mashed potatoes on the house! They even got the food out to us 15 minutes before the food was expected to arrive! As always, everything was delicious, hot, and the texture was comparable to what we get when we eat at the restaurant as well. You can tell that the staff here cares about their to go customers just as much as those who dine in. We are so appreciative about the service and quality of food that we received last night, and cannot recommend this place enough!!
