Service was great!! Michelle was a great server as well! I love the Shasta Bowl but disappointed in the size of the pancake. it's so small. read more

This is the 2nd time we ate here (breakfast) and really enjoyed it. Real comfort food! Server Shay was very attentive and helpful. Very pleasant. Makes dining there even more a delight! Didn't think we'd be full till dinner, but we were and we were happily surprised. They're good portions, thumbs up! I made a suggestion (which i make to other food establishments as well), that in the interest of contributing to environmental protection, to offer straws only to those who will ask for them, as these are single use plastics. If they are automatically given to all diners, even to those who don't need them, they will just get thrown into the trash, even if they were unused. Not only is it wasteful... you know the drill, so to speak. I hope management will seriously consider this humble suggestion. Thanks and see you again Black Bear! read more

Skip this place. Seriously. Let's start with the good news! The gal that greeted us and seated us was very friendly. On the flip side, the floor was dirty and wait staff were not friendly. I ordered a strawberry waffle and orange juice. The juice arrived first, and was as advertised. Then the waffle arrived. Bad. I was told there's no strawberries. Instead of letting me know ahead of time and allowing me to choose something else, I got a dry waffle and a choice of blueberries or bananas. Ordering something else wasn't even offered as an option. Just suck it up and eat what's in front of you. Our waitress was Olivia. Her idea of checking on us was to breeze by and ask if we were good. As I was going to say something, she said "OK" and moved along before I could say anything. When we were waiting on our check, She was off chatting with the other wait staff. Once we stood up to leave she managed to bring us our check. Have you read their credos? I've attached them. Sounds like a great restaurant! THIS ISN'T IT. read more

The food was amazing! And the service was amazing as well! Our server Keira was so very sweet, polite, and helpful she gave us great recommendations! All around great atmosphere. Very much enjoyable experience and definitely will be coming back! read more

Pros: we've been here a few times and it's very consistent. Good service. Huge portions. Some things are great tasting. Some things are just OK. Never a wait. Cons: this is not our go to breakfast place. We only go here when our go to places are too crowded. read more

Our first time there and we won't go back. Not sure what they served me but it wasn't meat and it wasn't advertised as beyond meat. Our waitress didn't come back until meal was half over to offer us more coffee. I've been a server many years and know the unwritten rule is to check with your people within 5 minutes of serving to make sure everything is okay. It was not busy so there was no excuse for not checking on us. read more

The first couple of times I've eaten at Black Bear it was delicious, the food was hot and the service was good. The last time I went, it wasn't so good. The food was cold, the waitress acted like it was a chore to do her job and the kitchen kept multiple plates of food going to different tables underneath the heat lamps until ready to go. If I'm paying for a good hot meal, I expect it to be cooked and ready to come to my table, not warmed by the heat lamps. read more

Hash browns were soggy. Corned beef hash was bland. Eggs were past over medium. Toast was good. Server was great. Other than the toast and the server, an incredibly forgettable meal. read more

Maybe 8 or 9 total doordashes, best time was within 7 minutes of showing up, typically average of 10 to 20 minutes, worst part is even today was told maybe 5 minutes, waited 20, cancellation granted by dash, I actually look forward for them to offer this so I don't take a rating hit, just be honest with us.... read more

Came today with my bestie! We had tropical mimosas for our brunch! We got sat immediately. Super friendly waitress. Bestie had two eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy and hashbrowns and it was FIRE! Super huge portions and I had the pot roast melt with red onion and au ju dipping sauce on sour dough! With a side salad that we split because it was huge ! Took half of the Sammy to go! Super recommend, so delicious! read more

Black Bear Diner is a pleasant surprise. I don't really understand why it has an average aggregated score on Yelp but I feel like it's a little better. One of the few restaurants that were open on Thanksgiving day and it was packed. Breakfast is served all day which is always a favorite. The basic breakfast items are good, not sure about their specials. Dinner entrees come with 2 sides. Prime ribs are not bad, a little over cooked but taste good. Price is affordable. Overall, Black Bear Diner is not exceptional but what it offers is good for a routine dining visit. You don't go here for a special occasion. You could but you may be disappointed. read more

Had breakfast here today! I ordered the Denver Omelette with potatoes and a sweat cream pancake. Service was quick, waitress was nice and friendly, and we really enjoyed our visit. I personally like my pancakes more airy and fluffy. I felt my pancake was dry and thinner than the average pancake. * They offer a military discount. Bathrooms were clean. read more

So while I did not order Waffles, I did order a Patty Melt. They do not sell fries nor onion rings. They serves hash browns with every order. ‍. Also the Patty Melt was left to be desired. It was not at all what I was anticipating. I can say that the staff were very friendly and courteous. I can't help to say that I was very disappointed with my experience as far as dinner was concerned. I would say that they need to look into making a Patty Melt that's more heartier and add Fires to their menu for burgers and sandwiches instead of Hash Browns. At this point I will not be back. read more

It just wasn't as good as it usually is. The service was lacking as well. But we still will come back

French toast was missing something not sure what. The bacon was perfect. The eggs tasted kinda watery and the sausage had to much pepper in it. The pancakes tasted like Walmart frozen pancakes The hash brown was the best part. read more

I got the big bear chicken fried steak and eggs with loaded potatoes. Comes with a good size portion (will be taking leftovers home). For $1.99 I would have liked a little more "loaded" on the potatoes. With a meal this size it should be packaged differently and not have everything piled on top of each other. The red potatoes are a bit al dente for my taste, the chicken fried steak is mediocre and the eggs are just eggs. All in all I am being picky since this is a $30 breakfast for one. I ordered online and had it delivered by a DoorDash driver. I will give this place 3 stars even though I feel like Village Inn could have been the same. I read more

came here today for the first time and was super excited , ive seen great stuff about it online and thought it was super cute . but i have to say , i used to work at a waffle house and have way higher dining expectations than this . that's gotta be saying something . we were super dissapointed when my omelette came out with mold on the toast . the manager ( ? ) came out and explained that they get fresh bread , so sometimes it molds ? im not sure what she was on about , as i make and buy plenty of fresh bread and never have a molding issue . it shouldve never made it to my plate . i didnt get any sort of comp or anything for the literal mold on my plate and im pretty sure they just put new toast on the same plate . it also took about 10 minutes for them *just to replace toast* . my server looked to have 2 other tables , one being fairly large but they all had their food. i also had ordered blueberry pancakes , and i believe my server didnt hear me . but when our food was out and they said, " anything else ? " i asked for my pancakes . the server came back and said " you didnt order any pancakes " . i understand being busy or stressed out , but as a female customer and server , being told by a man that i was wrong when i knew for a *fact* that i was right was extremely frustrating . basically , we will never be back here and we are super disappointed about that . we had really high hopes . read more

Hardly any customers, waitresses stood around talking while we waited to order dinner. Went to order turkey dinners, told no soup, no salad and nothing else we could replace it with. We eat a lot at black bear around country, we walked out!!!! Terrible read more

This was second time my family and I had a terrible experience here. After first time we decided to give them benefit of doubt but not after today. What should have been enjoyable time spent with family on Sunday morning turned in frustration and empty stomach. If they are at a half of their capacity, they start running like a chickens with their head cut off. Once again, we had to wait for our food over 40minutes. When it finally arrived, potatoes were raw, 3 of the plates did not come correctly and sides were ordered never arrived. At that point I returned plate that had raw potatoes and sat there in disbelief. You would think manager or someone would try to apologize for lack of service and terrible experience, but no, not here, they probably don't care about customer satisfaction. Previous time I asked for something to be taken out due to allergy, sure enough they did not care enough to make order as requested. This was our last time here because this place sucks big time! read more

Quality food, good service. The environment/atmosphere is really nice, not overly loud or anything.

great food and my server Breanna was awesome, super helpful and fast, will Eat there again, nice place to eat.

Don't Go! Never again! Christmas Day Dinner = 28.00 as soon as we reach the door they said we are out of pumpkin pie so I thought no problem they'll substitute something else. Did they? Hell no! She would take 10% off 28.00 when on the menu, the price of a piece of pie is 4.99. Then when they brought the salad out, There was one cucumber, one cherry tomato and very little salad on a small paper plate. Really folks on a paper plate? I could've done better at fast food! I was upset cause they are ripping people off on Christmas Day. We were there at 3 but had to wait an hour. Then, when they brought the food to the table, they said they were out of green beans so they substituted Coleslaw. He don't eat coleslaw, Why don't they ask first? If they can substitute coleslaw why can't they substitute pumpkin pie? The potatoes were spuds, I ordered a burger with onion rings. They brought fries with a pink burger. Then my husband asked for another roll. 1.79 for a roll. I was getting ready to just walk out. Finally our waitress got the manager to the table. They ended up giving us 12.00 off our bill. To make a long story short, this was very poor planning, and there must've been a breakdown in management. Nobody serves a salad in a restaurant on a small paper plate on Christmas Day, and nobody runs out of pumpkin pie and green beans either! Our waitress was nice, and she could absolutely see the discrepancies. She explained that she absolutely could not do nothing. And we believe her because she didn't even refill our glasses. I pray the owner sees this and prepares better for next holiday, or best thing for them to do is just stay closed on holidays because they showed us and everyone else, they can't handle it! 12.00 off the bill was not worth a rotten experience. The place was not crowded, it's that they couldn't get people to work that day. read more

Black Bear Diner is a great chain of restaurants. They are consistent, the portions are good, the service is what you would expect from a good diner. They pricing isn't bad, and the atmosphere is unique. Bear paraphernalia is all around the restaurant, which my kids always enjoy looking at. The food tastes fresh, and there are usually some leftovers. read more

I had never been to a Black Bear Diner before, which is surprising because it's apparently a chain, but I really enjoyed it. I ordered the meatloaf with seasonal vegetables (which was corn-on-the-cob) and Cole slaw. Their Cole slaw is amazingly good. I rarely find it that I like, but there's was spot on. The meat loaf was good and the portions are huge. I barely finished it. The atmosphere is what you would envision for a place with this name. Lots of bear motifs and general forestry. It almost looks like a place to eat in Disneyland. And the staff were extremely attentive. This is definitely a place worth repeating. They have quite a few locations, but not in Florida (sadly). Hopefully that will change one day. read more

All the food was awful and the eggs were so undone that even the whites were runny and barely white. I told the server they were not as ordered, I couldn't eat them, and I still had to pay full price for the order. I completed the survey and asked to be contacted which hasn't happened after two weeks. read more

First time here. We were in the area at 11:30 and out of all the restaurants on 71st, we whipped in here. Plenty of parking. Greeted immediately and shown to a booth where we could see the open kitchen. Our waitress brought us waters and the menu. Answered our questions since the menu was pretty large and included breakfast, lunch and dinner items. I believe the waitress's name was Tyndra (?) and she was great. She even brought out a big cornbread muffin since we were first timers. We both got the roast beef lunch (which was smaller portion) and came with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. It was excellent. We each had unsweetened iced tea. The place is very large and nicely decorated. There weren't very many other customers. This is a place we'll definitely return to the next time we're in the area. read more

Update on previous bad birthday experience review. My husband and I visited on 12/02/23 to see if service was better. We timed everything. The restaurant was a little bit busier than last time. We were seated with a few minutes of arrival. Waiter was by right away for drink order. Waitress was a few minutes later for the food order. Which was at 11:40. I ordered a breakfast special and my husband ordered the pot roast dinner. She returned shortly afterwards with his salad and cornbread muffin. By 12:13 our meals were served. Thirty-three minutes. Needed a few more food runners. Notice food sitting at the pass under the warning lights. Pancakes were on the heavy side. Over mixed and the green leaf was wilted beyond recognition. But overall a better experience. We will be back again. Thank you. read more

If you are a person who likes the experience of a themed restaurant, Black Bear diner is for you. The diner is very large and spacious. Our server was very nice and helpful. I ordered the bear's choice meal with French toast, sausage, and scrambled eggs. As far as the food quality goes, I would say it was average. There wasn't any part of my meal that I particularly enjoyed but it wasn't bad either. I think for diner food it was a bit basic. However, the prices were great for the amount of food that you get and the service was also great. If you have a family with kids, this could be a fun place to go and keep them entertained. read more

We came back for lunch after church today. I got the California burger- it has thousand island dressing, jack cheese, avocado, and red onion along with all the standard burger toppings. It was fresh and tasty. The 4 of us each ate heartily for about $12 each. The burgers were cooked to our temp preferences, and the service was friendly and attentive. read more

Our experience at this delightful restaurant was excellent. Allison seated us and was friendly and accommodating. Shawna then greeted us and gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. When we asked for her suggestions, she had gave us a good review of the menu choices and told us what people liked most. (This was very helpful as it was our first time here.) We ordered Meatloaf, a Hamburger and Chicken Fried Steak. We all liked our choices! (We also liked that you could order a small plate if you had less of an appetite.) For desert we ordered the Coconut Cream pie and it was delicious! Thanks Shawna, Allison and Black Bear Diner for a great experience for our brother's birthday. We will be back! Tricia read more

Server She never said her name. It's a shame no one wants to let customers know who you are. Probably means your ashamed of the quality of your table service or the menu. The receipt showed her name as Lacie. Atmosphere It's a bear country themed restaurant. Lots of black bears every where you look. Food We both got the ham n cheese omelet. I'm not sure if it's a cost saving thing or fraud thing. But the menu clearly says it comes with a biscuit, but had to ask for it. The server claims the omlets use shell eggs. They do not taste like shell eggs. She went and checked. We were correct. They use liquid carton eggs, but shell eggs can be requested. So, when the biscuits came, they were huge. They were dry but I could clearly taste butter. The strip cut hash browns were cold and tasted more like grease/oil than potatoes. The coffee was okay. Not great, not smooth. But it was drinkable. Overall I was excited to try for a good country breakfast. Like my previous review, this place looks like it's going to be a great experience. Sadly, this was not the case. It was not horrible. But, memorable for the wrong reasons. Military Yes, WITH ID read more

I am not normally one to complain, but I visited today and had a terrible experience. For starters, the server Kynda, was very blunt. I understand maybe having a bad day, but when I added something to my order she just stared at me....no words. Then, she gave me the wrong drink. THEN, my french toast was raw, so I told her and she said "it's just soft". (It was in fact raw.) Then, when we were done eating my sister and I sat there for about 10 minutes before finally getting a bill. It was also dead silent in there and felt super awkward. There was several servers standing on the floor, and yet such terrible service. It isn't normally like this so maybe it was just an off day. read more

Black Bear Diner mixes classic small-town diner food with a chain restaurant feel. It's like walking into a cabin, which is kind of fun. Another fun thing is they've got some merchandise at the front - I even saw bear shaped ugg boots for kids, lol! Staff were masked and people were relatively spaced out. Certain tables were marked as not being used. The menus were on paper, kind of like on a newspaper. I'm not sure if this was because of covid or if the menus are always like that... but it kind of added to the whole feel of the place. There were also QR codes (I assume leading to the menu) on the tables, though this wasn't advertised to us. Our waitress was really nice. I was having some trouble ordering, and she helped me get it all settled. I ended up with the chicken fried steak. it came with a roll, green beans and mashed potatoes, plus a salad that came out within minutes of ordering. I'm a huge fan of mashed potatoes, and these were good, though seemed a little sweet for my taste. Maybe because they were red potatoes? The green beans do have bacon in them, which isn't my favorite, but if you like that then I guess they were good. The salad was your basic starter salad, and I thought there was a good amount of it. I got mine with ranch, which was a thick kind that I thought tasted nice. The rolls were a hit. They're hearty but with a little sweetness too, and also a good density. Now, I'll admit I don't consider myself a CFS connoisseur (I know some people out there who probably are!) but for me, it was the best part. I liked both the breading and the meat itself. I thought it had good flavor and I actually liked how it wasn't too juicy. The breading was flakey but still substantial. I also thought the gravy was tasty, and definitely added to the overall flavor. Not the best I've ever had, but not bad either. I ended up with about half to take home, and it still tasted yummy (maybe even better?) the second time around. read more

I was excited to try this place for the first time. When I walked in the restaurant is really neat, it looks like a real lodge! Then I was super excited they offered chicken sausage. Then my food came the grits and eggs were delicious but my hash browns and sausage weren't cooked well enough so it wasn't a great experience. I would give them another try and next time I'll ask for those items to be cooked well! read more
