STILL BEAR-Y TASTY! Shoutout to Carolyn (our waitress), she was a character and I loved her…read moreenthusiasm. Our service was phenomenal, refills came consistently, I had plenty of creamer for my cold brews, and our orders came out exactly as requested. My go-to menu option no matter the time of day is still The Grizz (eggs, ham steak, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausage links, hashbrowns, and 2 sweet cream pancakes). As breakfast is served all-day I'd highly suggest you try it, especially if you're hungry. My big back self also had a 7.99 mini-pie (coconut cream). It was good, but needed more crust! Murrieta's location still has plenty of seating (both booths and tables) and a spacious layout that makes this one of the most accessible locations in SoCal. The lighting inside was incredible, a Yelper's dream for vivid photography and clear shots.

Today was my second time visiting. On my first visit, I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito,…read morewhich was really good--though a bit greasy, which is honestly expected with chorizo. This time I decided to try the bacon eggs Benedict and was unfortunately a little disappointed. For those unfamiliar, eggs Benedict is typically an English muffin topped with a poached egg and a creamy hollandaise sauce. I was expecting the egg yolk to be runny when cut into, but it turned out to be fully hard-boiled instead . The hollandaise had a nice flavor and good acidity, but it seemed slightly broken. That said, the service was awesome and very attentive, which I really appreciated. Not sure if I'd visit again though.

Food: Well, okay... we came here once and my daughter got chicken and waffles. It was SO good…read morethat she begged us to come back. The rest of our food was okay, nothing amazing, but solid. So we got back a second time and sit down to order, "Chicken and waffles please" - they are out of chicken. Oof! Strike 1. That sucks. She was disappointed but she got something else and we shrugged it off. Then about 2 weeks back we came in again... this time I asked first, "Do you have chicken for the chicken and waffles?" They are out of waffles. Oof! Strike 2! And isn't it just batter? I don't get it. We didn't stay that time because my daughter was visibly sad this time. So I think we are done trying or else this just becomes a running gag we try to get out of, like Groundhogs Day or something... Atmosphere: It's cozy inside. I love all of the details, like the wood carvings and all of the bear stuff. It's like you're in a log cabin. And I like that they have paper menus and throw them away (because plastic reusable menus are germ magnets). The newspaper-esque theme is pretty cool too. Price: It's no more expensive than say, Dennys or Ihop. Middle of the road and they have lots of options. A decent meal for two - 50$. Service: Each time we have been, the servers have been great. Nice servers and even when the guy had to tell us they were out of chicken, he was super apologetic. No complaints on the service. Overall: It's a nice place... when they have the advertised food. So I honestly don't know if we will be back or not. Maybe we will give it a shot but I don't want my daughter to be disappointed again. I get it, if it was something they only made 50 of a day, I'd understand. But... chicken and waffles? Hmmm...

They have specials at different times but I ended up ordering the regular meal for the California burger. I also ordered the peanut butter shake and cinnamon roll for dessert. The burger was cooked well but it had a lot of veggies, it was hard to get a bite of everything. The French fries were good and fresh. The peanut shake was the perfect consistency. I had a hard time choosing just one dessert. There are a lot of appealing options and I feel like I made a great choice with the cinnamon roll. It was warm and had a generous amount of icing.

I ordered the Tuna Salad Melt, it comes on Marble Rye bread w/coleslaw, my friend ordered a Chicken Sandwich w/avocado, but no bread and Onion Rings. We had a very nice serving each. I loved the tuna salad, made just like my Mom. They have plenty of parking and outdoor/indoor dining. There is a nice grocery store next door which sells local wines and a little boutique near by(only open Sat & Sun. There is also a small park just in the area so you have choices all around you! I'm sure to go back again. If you get hung up in traffic off the 15 take the Mission/Fallbrook exit and it's right off the old 395 hwy. Worth the stop. I want to try their Prime Rib Special after 4! Oh one more thing, if you use a CC you will pay a fee, but if you use a debit card and of course cash, No Charge

Usually I have no problems with the salad. Today.... I don't see how this salad was sent out prepared to eat. The lettuce wasn't chilled, it looked dried out, and some of it was on the old side. Our server did defend that it's a mix The problem was that it was not appetizing She did get me a side of fries to replace the salad. Hopefully that the rest of the day the salads looks way better than what mine did

Unfortunately, our experience at Black Bear Diner was disappointing from the moment we walked in…read more There was no greeting, no "good morning," just "name, phone number, 25-minute wait." The friendliness and customer service at the front felt completely lacking. Once we were seated, our waiter was actually great and was the only positive part of the visit. However, the food itself was very disappointing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and when I took a bite, there were large eggshell pieces inside the eggs. After that, I completely lost my appetite and stopped eating. Overall, between the poor first impression and the food quality, this was not a good experience, and unfortunately we will not be returning.
