The chocolate sauce used was a tad bit watery, consistent wise, from what I'm used to my Sundays being topped with, But the chocolatey flavor was still there. I know it's a bit of a watered down complaint (no pun intended) that's why I feel it didn't warrant the removal of a star for this review. I also know how somewhat overly critical I can be about how my Sundays are made. One other thing I liked was the Bogo special they had going on with certain menu items, one of which being their Sundays. so the fact that I was able to get two for the price of one, definitely put a smile on my face.

Service was awesome too, wish I got the guy at the counter's name, he was so helpful and nice, I hope the other side of his pillows are always cold and refreshing. Crispy chicken sandwich was delicious, fries were super thin and perfect with a delicious spice. You can also lettuce wrap the burgers, if you had to go that route I would go with the grilled chicken as it'd go great with the lettuce they load it up with! So good! Custard? We weren't interested in it until the guy in the front gave us some to try and then we couldn't help getting a chocolate with banana and chocolate chips. Ambiance is fun old school diner. Would go again.

We found parking easily and walked on - as soon as we walked in we were greeted warmly - always a good sign! The inside was very clean - it took us a minute to remember the menu because we don't get there often. Ordering was easy and the person at the counter was super friendly! Food was made quickly and was very tasty, hot and fresh! When we were finished I went to thrown our trash and put the tray back and I noticed the gentleman who was making the food and told him everything was delicious! He was very friendly Would definitely stop here again

Returning home from Las Vegas and driving near Barstow, CA, I suddenly had an urge for ice cream…read morewhile my family wanted breakfast. Considering I was driving home, ice cream won. I Yelp'd for ice cream near Barstow, and I was pleasantly surprised when my favorite ice cream shop, Baskin-Robbins, appeared on my phone. This BR is located at the same place as a Dunkin' Donuts. I ordered two scoops of no-sugar-added, pineapple/coconut ice cream (my favorite flavor) via the drive-thru intercom. I approached the window to pay, and a friendly female employee greeted me, with my ice cream ready. What service, considering I was the only car in line. Service was GREAT, and my ice cream was even better.

The service was exemplary. The food was great, and it was a great overall dining experience. I get everybody has a bad or off day. And in this case Black Bear Diner made it right. Which in this day and age of throw away customers and compliments means a lot. I will definitely be coming back to this. Black Bear Diner and I have upgraded my review to a solid 4! Wow. That was underwhelming. I like Black Bear diner, I've been going to them for a long time, and as I was heading back to Las Vegas I thought I would stop here and grab a bite to eat as I have always had a great experience there. Well this time, it was an exception to the rule. It was busy so I was not too concerned about the wait time, which was minimal, and they got me seated pretty quickly. Quickly. I like the little newspaper style menus as they were fun to look at and interesting to read while you waited for your server. I already knew I was going to get the mini volcano, as it just sounded like the perfect combination of stuff for me to eat for breakfast. The waitress came by, really didn't look at me, which was odd. And went back to put it in. She came back with my coffee and said the order was in. Should only be a moment. This was great news cuz I was ready to eat and get back on the road. The food came to the table and it looked appetizing enough, they had the two pancakes and my fried egg on top and a piece of bacon and a link of sausage. Flanking the pancakes with a nice garnish of an orange slice on a lettuce bed. Here's the problem. Everything was lukewarm now it did come out pretty fast which was surprising to me that it wasn't really hot. But literally everything on the plate felt like it was sitting in a dish in the back with a warmer waiting just to be built. The pancakes there are usually really good this time. They were terrible. I was very very sad about this cuz I really like their pancakes a lot. The egg was cooked well but again it was lukewarm at best. Same with the sausage and the bacon. The sadder thing was the flavor just wasn't there. Normally they have some personality to it, but these felt contrived and run of the mill. Now. I don't know if they, like Everyone else is having to downgrade and downsize because of the cost of everything, but whatever it was it was not working for me. Again, I will say that I like Black Bear Diners but the one in Barstow I will be avoiding every time I drive through. This is sad, and I hope that someone in corporate reads this because it would be great to have this restaurant be top notch when you're driving between Orange county and Las Vegas or vice versa. Bottom line? I seriously doubt that I'll ever come back here. Which is a bummer, because I am a big fan of this particular chain. There are plenty of other great eating establishments in the Barstow area. So this one I would kind of drive past. ************* Response to Black Bear Diner Corporate Thank you for your heartfelt response. In fact, it was one of the nicest chat GPT responses I've read this week. At least you got my name in there which was a nice touch and made it feel more personal, however, when you forget to put your email in there for me to respond to, that leads me to believe you really don't care. Thank you for the response albeit a very perfunctory one.

My wife liked the tortilla soup, but the spaghetti and meatballs wear subpar. Now I guess, I shouldn't expect good Italian food from basically a sports bar but I'll have to say it just was relatively bland. I ordered the habanero pineapple boneless wings thinking they would be spicy-- they were not. Now I will admit, I've gotten used to hot sauce so maybe that's why they weren't that spicy. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be soft, but the boneless wings were not crispy, maybe the sauce made the better soft. But, I did not like it, I was expecting more crispy. But again, maybe is this is the way that they're served. The ambience is okay it's a sports bar. Kind of small as well but very busy. The service was great. I was greeted within less than 2 minutes from sitting down, and I had multiple servers taking care of my table. So definitely they're not lacking in service. I just think since the last time I went there and this time the quality of food has diminished.
