    BIGFOOT Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs* Country Red Potatoes
    Taylor W.

    Wonderful dining experience. Our server was Sharon and she was very kind and attentive. Our waters were never empty and she checked on us a few times to make sure we didn't need anything. The service was exceptionally quick, I think the quickest I've ever had food brought to me from a sit-down establishment. Very warm, nice diner ambiance. Will definitely be back!

    My wife's first time. We came to this location after church. My wife has never been to a Black Bear Diner. For me this was my second time (First time was in San Jose). I just remember the portions being HUGE. And they still are! My wife had an omelette with whites and a biscuit. The biscuit was unbelievably fluffy. It was amazing! I had the cinnamon roll French toast (pictured). Every bit was just as good as the next! Now all the food at this location was perfect. Let's talk about the service... Our server was Jocelyn. She was so sweet and helpful. She kept our coffee cups full. She checked up on us even while busy herself. She was the one whom recommended the fluffy biscuit. She was very personable and did a GREAT job. We appreciate you. I highly recommend this location. But come hungry!

    My husband and I went to Black Bear this last Saturday and had a fantastic experience. We are somewhat regulars here for dinner and always enjoy ourselves. This time, we had a server who was new to us - Jason. He was full of humor, pleasantries, and quick and attentive service! When the kitchen made an error and our food got skipped, he came out, was honest with us, apologized, and got our food quickly. He then offered us a free dessert to make up for it! (Cheesecake with pumpkin drizzle - amazing). Jason, we are already Black Bear stans, but you made us even moreso. Thanks for a great experience, and giving us a stamp card as well! We will likely be back even sooner than we even would be normally, because this was such a great experience. I had the pot roast melt (absolute favorite right now) with sweet potato fires, and my husband had the Bigfoot chicken fried steak breakfast. Both were fantastic. 10/10 - highly recommend

    Is this black bear restaurant in Vacaville ca open for dinner Christmas Day?

    Yes opened til 9 pm

    Is the apple juice organic?

    Black Bear Diner is a semi-large chain in California I highly doubt anything you find there will be organic.

Food: I ordered The Cowboy which consisted of eggs, waffle, and chicken fried steak. Everything was hot including the waffle. So nice! The waffle was a slight bit crunchy on top but really soft otherwise and it was delicious! The chicken fried steak was very tender and the gravy wasn't bad but it could have used a bit more salt. The coffee was a bit mild for my liking. Service: When I walked in there was no signage so I stood for a few minutes without acknowledgement. Finally a young man with light brown hair approached and looked at me but walked right past. When he passed again I asked if I was supposed to seat myself? He looked off and muttered "yeah it's going to be a few minutes" then he walked off. It didn't answer my question so I continued to stand until another server invited me to sit at a vacant table. The same young man was observed tossing the food and bussing the table of a nearby customer who had gone to the restroom. His server came to the rescue however by making him a plate to go. My actual server Mary was nice and tended to my needs but it was a bit of a wait between being seated, getting drinks, and placing the order. Overall its a strong 4 rating that could have been a 5 with a little more attentiveness from staff. Definitely recommend though!

The cod and fries were fine, but 1/3 of the meal missing. The 3 stars were for partial meal, lack of attention by "server". Food was good (no side dish- potato salad), packaged frozen cod.

It's definitely…read morea cozy spot -- the interior is pretty small with limited seating, and you order at the counter when you walk in. Luckily the weather was perfect the day we went, so we grabbed a table outside and it ended up being the ideal way to enjoy the meal. We started with a Cuban café with condensed milk, and it was incredible. The coffee was bold and rich like a good Cuban espresso should be, and the condensed milk added the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. It was smooth, strong, and honestly one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a while. For food, she ordered the chilaquiles and I ordered the ropa vieja plate, and we also added an order of papa rellenas to share. The chilaquiles were easily the star of the show. The chips were perfectly coated in sauce without being soggy, and the sauce itself had a really unique flavor compared to the traditional chilaquiles I'm used to. It had a deeper, richer taste with just the right balance of spice and tang. Every bite was packed with flavor and it felt like a really thoughtful twist on the dish. The ropa vieja was just as impressive. The shredded beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, clearly slow-cooked because it just fell apart with each bite. The seasoning was spot on -- savory, slightly tomatoey, and really comforting. It came with black beans and rice, and even though I'm usually not a big fan of black beans, these were excellent. They had a lot of flavor and a great texture, not watery or bland like they sometimes can be. The only thing that didn't quite land for me was the papa rellenas. They were well made, but I was expecting something with more of an empanada-like texture or a crispier outer bite. Instead, it was much more potato-forward, which made it a little heavier than I was hoping for. Service was amazing! Kind friendly staff Overall though, the food was flavorful, the coffee was amazing, and the relaxed outdoor seating made it a really enjoyable meal. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area.

In my opinion, the restaurant could use some remodeling and general updates. The structure feels a little dated, and there are small details that stand out if you're paying attention. The mimosa flights are what seem to draw a big crowd. They're cute and very aesthetic, which I think is part of the appeal. Some of them can be on the sweeter side, so if you enjoy fruity, sweet drinks, you'll probably love them. As for the food, it just hasn't been my favorite. I've tried several items over multiple visits because friends enjoy going there. The chicken and waffles were okay, nothing special. The omelet was decent but not memorable. I tried the chilaquiles once and wouldn't order them again. They were very heavy on the sauce for my taste. I also found some items like the hash browns a bit too greasy, the fries are three large wedges, not my favorite. On the positive side, most of the servers I've had have been friendly and attentive, and the bathrooms have always been clean, which I appreciate. Overall, Maple Bar Cafe may be a great fit if you love sweet brunch options and fun mimosa flights. It just isn't my personal go-to spot, but I can see why others enjoy it.
