Praline, banana bread pudding and eggs and sausage links.
John F.

I decided to get something different. I ordered the Praline, banana bread pudding. We walked and were greeted and seated immediately. The food was delicious and it never disappoints.

A place we frequent that's decent. Usually crowded but you can always find a parking and will be seated quickly. This Blackbear is decorated in the traditional fashion. The volume voices camouflage the music. There is a painted wall in the booth in the far corner. The meal this time unfortunately arrived cold and the cheese wasn't melted on the eggs but that's not usually the case. Linda is a wonderful and attentive server. Always happy to be seated in her section.

Credo #2 is a joke! Hope the owner sees this review.

We only ended up here because everything was closing by 8PM. My first time at this establishment. Because my BF wanted some chicken fried steak we ended up here. And I opted for the fried chicken. In the beginning the server was attentive. After we got our meal she checked on us once. Then, after we finished our meal we wanted some dessert. She was no where to be found. Other servers didn't offer any help. I finally stood up and I saw her standing by the window to receive orders. We then saw her serve the food to the larger table of 8. She didn't tend to us and ignored us. Finally I got up and asked for help from another server. My BF ordered the bread pudding and I asked for the chocolate cream pie. The dessert comes and my order was incorrect. They gave me the banana cream pie. At this point we just wanted the check and leave. We had to flag another server so we can get the check. Our server finally came back and said she was busy rolling silverware's because they were out. Disappointed. We rate the chicken fries steak a 4/5 stars and the fried chicken was over cooked and the breading was too hard which rates 2/5 stars. Inside the ambiance is like a log cabin and of course bears decoration all over the place. Plenty of ample parking. Definitely will not return. Funny thing is they have these placemats with their credos (a statement or system). # 2 Credo states "Your server will give the attention you deserve (hopefully, with a little personality too), One thing you'll never get at The Bear is a canned greeting in a slick atmosphere"! (See photo of it posted). They need to review this or edit it. Because this is NOT the case at all with their service. Hence their rating is 3 stars all around.

I did a pick up order from this location. I got the bear classic, which came with a sweet cream waffle, eggs, and a side of fruit. The waffle was good. And the eggs were well cooked. I liked how they gave me all of the sides such as salt, syrup, and butter because it was a to go order. The inside is so cute. It has a cabin-y vibe which is nice. The staff was quick to greet me and help get my order

The day my family and I came was a slower day. We were able to come and sit down quickly. Our food came out in great timing and it was delicious. I got the scrambowl, my dad got the bobs big burger with a side of half and half (fries and onion rings), and I also got the Arnold Palmer. The staff was efficient and respectful. The place was clean and ready for customers to dine.

I am a big fan of pancakes and my partner loves waffles so we caved in on our favorites. They were so delicious, fluffy and buttery.

The Restaurant is eclectic and charming and always full of the most diverse people, which is a reflection of Vallejo. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and also super diverse. It's a women owned business that pays a living wage, provides healthcare, and contributes to a retirement account for the employees. Who does that!? ( The answer is Nicole the Owner who is awesome). The food is consistently delicious. The standouts for me are the seasonal salads, the chicken tinga tostada, the chilaquiles, and, of course, the fried chicken and waffles. In the four years I have been there, there has been very little turn over in staff. The place feels like family.

David and his wife create a genuinely warm, welcoming experience that feels more like being hosted than served. The menu is bold and beautifully executed.

The crab eggs Benedict was flawless, and the house-made salsas--especially the raspberry and mango habanero--are next level. From the steak and eggs to a chorizo burrito my son called "totally bomb," every plate hits. TAG SOMEBODY!! Napa Valley--let's make this go crazy. Tag 3 people you're pulling up with this week, repost this, and flood this place with love. If you're serious about supporting local and putting hidden gems on the map, this is the one.

There is a dedicated parking lot, tight but can hold a decent amount of cars. There is street parking as well, not metered - that is where I parked. The hostess was extremely friendly and attentive, checking in on us several times after ordering to notify of the food's ETA as well as refilling drinks and seeing if we needed anything. The dining area has approximately ten booths in total and became quite crowded around 12:30p. Our meals arrived at different times, items to eat meal arrived sparsely as well. We ordered around 11:30a, there were two other parties present. We were able to order based on our dietary needs/wants as the menu offered quite a diverse array. The crab omelette (known as The California Omelette on the menu) is 1/4 lb of fresh crab served either hot or cold enclosed in three eggs along with avocado and Monterey Jack cheese. For $26.35 the omelette left much to be desired, especially in flavor and seasoning. Nothing complimented or even enhanced the presence of the crab in any way. The remaining party at the table said they enjoy their meal - including a blueberry waffle, toast and eggs with bacon and a double cheeseburger with fries. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to gather, this cafe is certainly an option to consider. It was easy to speak and hear each other with ample privacy and not a lot of traffic - if any.

One of our fav spots! We eat here atleast once a week. The bacon waffle is to die forread more

The best fries I've ever had anywhere. Fantastic drinks including an amazing bloody mary. Indoor and outdoor seating and a beautiful multilevel patio area. And the cleanest, most pristine bathroom I have ever seen, that bathroom is spotless. Kat remembers our kids names, even between long stretches where we haven't come in for dinner in a minute. David and Kat promised our daughter they would make her a special Very Berry Mac and Cheese for her birthday. Something off menu, made to order just for our 5 year old, and just asked us to call the day before so they could be sure to have the berries. She felt so special and loved by these wonderful people who went out of their way to be kind to a neighborhood kid. AND Kat surprised us with mini berry cupcakes at the end of the meal. This is service you don't get anywhere else. AND the food is the best in Vallejo. If you haven't gone there yet, you are missing out on a true hidden gem.

We had the Ban Mi, spicy chicken sandwich, fish & chips & the Jalapeño & bacon mac n cheese. Mac n cheese was FAB! Chicken sando was two thumbs up. The other two were good but really not worth mentioning. Service by the lady who worked the register was great! The gal who brought out our food was meh. I guess we were really turned off when we asked for extra napkins and she said something to the effect of "if I have time, I'm really busy and there are other people I have to help!" Well, excuse us! She did come down with a very small handful of paper towels. Meh. If I were in the area again, I'd go back but it's probably not a place I'd need to visit again.
