It was surprisingly quieter than expected considering it's a lounge & it was dinner time. We ordered a Bread Board, which oddly looked significantly different from what other neighboring tables received, but it was still good... especially with the butter. We also got the Gorgonzola Fries & Burrata Bowl... both were really good, def recommend. I wish I got pictures of everyone's food which all looked delicious, but they all loved their orders. I got to try the Gnocci with meat sauce (YUM!). I got the Pesto Seafood Pasta & it was so good! Def recommend if you like seafood. I'll def be back to try the Farmer's Special since they sold out.

Black Bear Diner Lodi

Saturday, February 28th, 2026 4:14 PM…read moreServer: Eduardo OVERVIEW: My first visit ever to a Black Bear Diner. Personally, I don't like big, corporate-backed venues like Denny's & IHOP, but since this place in Lodi got good reviews, I thought I would give it a try. But again, since it was a big-name restaurant, my expectations were low. PROS: - First off, excellent service, a well staffed kitchen & dining area. Dining area atmosphere very warm as well, with lots of families enjoying their meals. - Our waiter was Eduardo. A very attentive guy, who brought out our meals less than 10 minutes from time of order. GIVE THIS GUY A RAISE! - Did the, "Build your own Breakfast" with steak, eggs & pancakes. The pancakes were excellent... golden brown, not burnt, and large & fluffy. These guys know how to make classic pancakes !!! - Ordered orange juice. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I was expecting some watery, sugary juice substitute, but this was REAL ORANGE JUICE. (Minute Maid) CONS: - The steak was quiet, "Meh". Sure, it just a standard portion of a, "Build your own B'fast" meal, but the steak itself was so unimpressive, like it came from one of those microwave steaks at Walmart. - I understand that eggs are expensive nowadays, but I ordered three (3) eggs, but they were so small, that it felt like eating just two eggs. CONCLUSION: Great restaurant with great vibes. Just wish that the steak & eggs portion of my breakfast were bigger. The pancake portion was just fine. Will go there again and give them the chance to earn five stars from me.

We were hungry and couldn't decide what to eat, so we stopped by Black Bear Diner since they have…read moresuch an expansive menu. It was early afternoon and not busy at all, so we were seated right away. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Melt with a side of fruit, while my husband went with the tri-tip dip and fries. The Chicken Caesar Melt came with grilled chicken breast, Caesar dressing, lettuce, tomato, and Swiss and jack cheeses on sourdough bread grilled with a Parmesan crust. It was delicious--I especially loved the crispy cheese crust. That said, for a Black Bear portion, the chicken was a bit skimpy, and I would've liked just a little more meat. My husband enjoyed his tri-tip dip, which featured seasoned tri-tip on a grilled ciabatta roll served with au jus. The restaurant was pretty quiet during our visit, though we've been here during busier times when it can get quite loud, especially with the dinner crowd. The restaurant is kid-friendly and offers plenty of booth seating, which I prefer over chairs. Customer service can be hit or miss--sometimes we have excellent waitstaff who check in regularly and keep drinks refilled, and other times they disappear once the food is served. Unfortunately, this visit fell into the latter category, as our waitress didn't return until we were ready to pay. Overall, the food is good, there's plenty of seating inside, and a large parking lot outside. It's a solid option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Friendly, attentive, and made sure we were good the whole time. Now the food? No complaints there. Everything tasted great and definitely felt like it came from a Michelin-rated chef/owner. BUT... the wait time? Whew. I'm pretty sure I went through all five stages of hunger before my plate showed up. At one point I was considering eating the table décor. For a spot with that kind of reputation, I expected the kitchen to move a little quicker. Amazing food, great service--but I lost two stars because I was about two minutes away from ordering an emergency appetizer from somewhere else Still worth checking out--just maybe bring a snack... just in case.

The only downside to this restaurant (which is why I am giving it 4 stars vs. 5 stars) is the length of time it took for us to have our food served.

We were seated quickly and served waters right away. My husband ordered the fish and chips, while I went with the jalapeño chicken sandwich. The sandwich came with a grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, pepper jack cheese, crispy fried onions, and jalapeño dressing on grilled ciabatta bread. I also upgraded my fries to their Bleu fries (topped with bleu cheese crumbles and bleu cheese dressing). The fries were definitely a highlight--served hot, crispy, and perfectly paired with the bleu cheese. My husband was really impressed with the fish and chips, which he hadn't tried here before. The fish was beer-battered and fried, served with fries and coleslaw. He especially liked the coleslaw, noting that it tasted fresh with great flavor and wasn't overly coated in mayo. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and the experience. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

My husband ordered Fish N Chips - fish was extremely greasy.

If the food were nearly as appetizing as the servers work ethic I may consider returning. Ambiance was lovely.

Otherwise I'm gonna be honest I went to the Mother's Day brunch here yesterday and was really disappointed. $55 a person and I hardly ate as a lot of the food was disappointing. There was no fresh fruit outside an odd fruit salad with pink cool whip. The chicken picata was the only thing that was good. The biscuits were so dry. Honestly such a bummer came with my mom and sister spent $240 and honestly ate very little. Had subpar food that was over cooked. They had 2 cheesecakes. One was amazing and one was from Costco. This is my second time here each time I've left feeling like I was taken for a ride. The prices do not match the quality.
