M-m-m-my Sharon-(a)! Miss Sharon is the only reason why we come to dinner service at Black Bear. Excellent service with a sprinkle of humor without the awkward linger. We love Sharon so much, she is also our go-to server at Mel's. Black Bear is always lovely and the food is very consistent IMO. Clean establishment and clean bathrooms are always a plus. Come in and get seated with your new homie Miss Sharon. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came to BBD with a group of 20 students...called ahead and made sure they were able to accommodate us. Once we arrived, Sharon greeted us and had us seated quickly and swiftly. As she was going around to collect the last few orders, food was already coming out for those that ordered first which was fantastic. Sharon made sure everyone had what they ordered and circled back multiple times. Great service! read more

Food and service were great! The barbecue Western burger was delicious as was the blue cheese and bacon burger. The side salad was huge and tasted good and fresh. The best part was a glass of wine was only $7.99 for name brand wine! What a deal! We were just passing through on our way home from Lake Tahoe. I would stop here again. read more

Ordered bacon and scrambled eggs with cheese. Hubby had eggs, link sausage, pancake, and hash browns. He liked the sausage and thought the hash browns were a little dry. My eggs were fine but the bacon was incredibly hard and over cooked. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

I was a regular customer with blackbird diner in Vacaville. All of a sudden the service went downhill. I must've sat at that counter for 30 minutes and watched other individuals gets waited on with the exception of me then finally when I got my food, it took them longer than usual to bring it back to me and it was cold trying to get hot sauce and other things was another chore all of a sudden, and the quality of the eggs did not seem the same. I'm not sure what happened, but between All and All I will never eat there again. read more

Sharon was excellent all around. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.

One of the best diners in Vacaville. We eat here from time to time when we want something good!! My usual go-to is the Bacon Cheeseburger Salad. My husband usually gets a burger or breakfast. We are always shocked by the amount of food we are served. It's plentiful and good. Even a small platter is tons of food. My husband swears by the Big Poppa Burger. Shout out to Sharon for excellent service. We always have excellent service and food. The decor of the restaurant is so cute. We love the bear theme. read more

Sharm is a wonderful server, pleasant and attentive. Food is always hot and great! Love you can get breakfast for dinner.

My wife and I came here on a Saturday Morning around 8:30am for breakfast. It's been a few years since we last came to Black Bear. We were great and seated fairly quickly. The restaurant is a lot bigger than how it looks on the outside, so there was plenty of seating. The decor was rustic with a woodsy cabin feel. Our server was very attentive and checked up on us frequently which does not happen at most restaurants now days (service was not lacking here). What's even better than the service is the food. I'm not sure why I don't come more often as they have always had good food with large portions at a decent price (even with inflation). I got the Fajita Omelette which was very big and loaded with strips of beef, diced onions and bell peppers. The Fajita Omelette also came with a choice of side (I chose hash browns) and choice of bread (I chose sliced wheat bread). My wife got the Bear's Choice Breakfast: 2 Eggs (over easy), Bacon & Sweet Cream Waffle. Both our meals tasted great and we had some leftovers to take home. The last time we were here I had their prime rib on Mother's Day one year and it was one of the best prime ribs, I've had and it was cheap. I hope they run a prime rib special soon as I will definitely be back for that. read more

Outstanding Service from Rosa at Black Bear Diner Tonight was a very emotional evening for our family, as we had just lost my uncle. We brought my aunt and little cousin out to eat as a way to be together, and Rosa, our server at Black Bear Diner, went above and beyond in every possible way. We were a large party of 11, and Rosa handled our table with incredible grace, patience, and professionalism. After she was made aware of our family's loss, she showed genuine compassion, kindness, and understanding throughout the entire meal. She was attentive to everyone's needs, especially the kids, and made sure our experience felt warm, supportive, and cared for during a difficult time. Today was even my uncles birthday who has passed and Rosa honored him with ice cream which we hadn't expected. Her customer service was truly exceptional -- the kind that makes you want to return to the same location again and again, even though I live in Sacramento. Rosa's empathy, patience, and dedication did not go unnoticed, and I am deeply grateful for the comfort she provided our family tonight. Thank you, Rosa, for your compassion and outstanding service. You made a hard night a little easier for us! If you visit this location request Rosa and you won't regret it. The most exceptional service ever received at a black bear diner restaurant!! read more

My husband and I go there almost every Friday morning for breakfast as soon as they open at 6:00. Our server is normally Cassandra unless for some reason she has had her shift changed . She is one of the reasons that we have made it one of our weekly routines. She is friendly, efficient and all around a great person. The management should definitely be appreciative of her service and dedication. The food I'd the other reason that we go there. The morning cook is very good and very fast. He gets the tickets out in a timely manner and the food is consistent in the way that it is cooked. read more

Great service by Sharon! She checked in on us frequently and great service all around! Food was delicious and good atmosphere!

Went for breakfast with a bunch of guys from work, I was only getting coffee because I already had breakfast. We had separate checks. I put my check for one cup of coffee inside of a five dollar bill and left it on the table at my spot. $5 covered more than the coffee and a generous tip. As we were outside leaving, the waiter came out and asked "someone didn't pay for their coffee"... he was extremely rude. I told him the five dollars was on the table for the coffee (should went back and paid for it and kept the dollar and a half that I left for a tip). I will never go to Black Bear Diner again. read more
