The Good: Tasty California burger (avocado+Monterey Jack cheese) with special sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion, side of onion rings. Lacked a little seasoning but I'd order this again. Bacon cheddar burger was prepared exactly as my wife asked -- bacon crispy, burger well done. Full marks on it. Sweet potato fries were good, too. She'd order this again. Two of three staffers were quite friendly. Overall service was good Needs Improvement Server was not having a good day, seemed like. Not very friendly and I was a bit put off by no apology when I asked for a clean cup -- trace of lipstick on it. Check to see if dish washing was effective. Bottom line is this is one of the better Black Bear diners we've been to. Worth a try. read more

Once 30 minutes had passed, and my dinner was not at the table when the waitress stopped by to tell me, it wouldn't be long. I asked for a biscuit. Thank God. It was another 15 minutes before the "fish and chips "was brought to the table.. having replaced the french fries with a cup of chili, I checked it to see if it was hot it was!!! Was the coleslaw called?? it was!!! But as I looked at the three planks of fish, my heart sink. Greasy glisten of the tempera like batter concerned me.. the batter was tough and I was unable to cut it with a fork. The tartar sauce was tasty and with a squeeze of lemon on the fish I was delighted to finally have food. I was only able to eat halfway through the first piece of fish before I started peeling away the batter once all three were released from their tough greasy death shrouds... I was able to enjoy about three ounces of fish! The server was attentive and offered a fresh decaf coffee cup to go! I have no idea what was going on at Black Bear last night . Absolutely not what we have experienced previously. The chili was spicy. The coleslaw was fresh.. the 1st cup of decaf was deplorable! Better days ahead I'm hoping ! read more

Waiters and stuff were extremely friendly I'd come here because of them. They greeted us at the door and service was fast.

Had the fried chicken and Mac and cheese bowl and turkey dinner and the tri tip. They were all delicious except the gravy was watery and no taste and the green beans were extremely salty! The bread that accompanied the Mac and cheese was delicious. The chicken was very tasty and moist inside...again the gravy on the mashed potatoes was watery and no taste. The service was very friendly and nice...Jessie was her name! read more

Black Bear Diner Yuma - One of the few in Yuma...with a working one, anyway! - Diners Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

Easy parking. It was packed on a Sunday afternoon but we got a table within 10 minutes. I liked the chicken fried steak. I'll add a photo. I also liked their huge biscuits and gravy. I wish it was sausage gravy but it is just a good white gravy no sausage. But you can get some on the side. It's huge and we all shared from it. The chicken fried steak was good n crispy. I'll definitely go back when I am in Yuma. Pretty big portions too. read more

Get their orders correct. I've been there multiple times and each time I've been they get at least one person in our parties order wrong. There are only 3 of us and nothing weird, they just bring the wrong items. read more

Stop by this place on our way back home from the river because we love black bear diner for their breakfast! Thought we try their dinner out. When you first walk in , even though they only had 4 tables it took them awhile to seat us. Then when we did get seated it took forever for us to get our food. Service was so slow! For the amount of people on the floor it should not be like this. Turkey lacked a lot of flavor. Felt like it came out of a can. Kept on asking for a refill for water and our drink. I would not recommend coming here if you want a decent meal. read more

Good and service were top notch. Very cool traditional diner with breakfast served all day. Great spot for a quick bite on a business trip.

Breakfast here was delicious,first timer at this place and it won't be the last Pancakes sausage eggs hash brown all of it was made with love from the cook Kudos to them we will be back soon.And the staff were very friendly and professional. read more

Did not have the best experience here. No one really in the restaurant and had to wait to even be greeted upon arriving. the food tasted old and lack of flavor. we did go on a weekday so maybe because it was a slow day/time they lacked in areas? overall not impressed and will not be back read more

First of all the food was great. Took way too long to receive it due to kitchen staff training so the server said. Ok, that's understandable. The server on the other hand was one of the worst. Major attitude problem and when you ask for something you get the body language and eye rolling. Mind you, as she travels back and forth by your table, she never looks at the table or asks how are things. We asked for to go boxes and she got even more irritated. So, CORINA maybe you should relocate away from customers like the back of the house doing anything away from the customers. You are a terrible server! Btw.....I requested they change the name to Polar Bear diner due to the sub zero temperature inside. Bring sleeves and pants. They won't adjust it to make the customers comfortable after several patrons requested a change. I'll stick to your take out because your indoor dining is just not worth the uninvited treatment. read more

Service horrible,restaurant was not busy. Our server had a bad attitude, not friendly AT ALL! The food was extremely disappointing, the egg omelet looked like an egg taco, the inside was dry. My sandwich was made wrong so I sent it back and they obviously reused the frys. So remade sandwich with COLD frys. I will not be returning anytime............ Go to broken yolk instead. They couldn't possibly be as bad as Blqck Bear IS. read more

It's been awhile we had great food and great service. We had the French toast amd country fried steak. Our server Mariyah was excellent

Always dependable good food for everyone, lots of food too. Bring an empty stomach because this place gives you a full plate of food.

waited 40 minutes for a table . finally got a table there were bats all over the wall and flying around us. ordered a Diet Coke, then was told the co2 cartridge was broken . placed our food order to be told 25 minutes later my meal was only order after 4pm so I could essentially order something else and hold up the rest of the order or not eat. I chose not to order anything so my families food would come out hot. it came out ice cold! Mac and cheese cold cold eggs cold fries . no one tired to make it up to us and just said oh we will take off the turkey that I ordered. place was filthy and an hour and a half later left without eating . avoid this place at all costs !!! pS no manager in sight read more

Food was all cooked good and the portions were large enough for the price. The only thing was before we left I ordered a bear claw to go and when I got home I opened it up and it was not the one I wanted in the display case. They gave we an old dried up one from at least two days old. read more

Very nice place for a quaint place to eat. We enjoyed it a lot. We will be back and try other options and recommend. read more

Had to wait to be seated as no host was available. Got coffee right away but that was the only thing that went well. Sitting at the counter should be fine, but after 10 minutes I flagged down the manager to ask if someone could take my order (everyone else just kept going). He took it and although the order came in a reasonable amount of time, the eggs were under cooked, couldn't tell anyone since they didn't check back or stop to see what I was waving about. This is my second and last disappointing meal at this Black Bear restaurant. read more

I took my girls out for Sunday breakfast and my daughter insisted on Black Bear Diner. Our server Natalie was attentive, polite, and respectful. She took our order and even suggested some items to really make our meal worth it. The restaurant was clean and well kept, the entire staff was engaging and playful. I witnessed them working together to clean tables. The food came out promptly and Natalie checked in on us repeatedly. It was a great breakfast and Black Bear Diner was the perfect choice. read more

My server was very pleasant. She did her job efficiently and always was very accommodating.

Had the friendliest experience this past weekend. Stopped in here kind of late to just have some pie. Our waitress was so nice. We opted for the apple cobbler and the banana cream pie. Both were delicious. It wasn't super busy when we dined as it was a bit later in the evening. Definitely stop in here and try their desserts. Well worth it at a decent price point. read more
