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.

Ordered the pot roast dinner and it was extremely dry with only a dabble of brown gravy. Mashed potatoes was about a tablespoons worth. Ordered 2 meatloaf dinners and they have always came with 4 pieces and this time only got 2 each meal. Ordered a baked potato and got mashed potatoes and again only a tablespoon worth on both. Barely any gravy again. Ordered a patty melt and it was burnt and my baked potato had these hard nasty bacon bits and no butter whatever on it. Totally disappointed meal

We appreciate how they continued to check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the breakfast sampler, which had Richie's finest wood-smoked meats, fresh eggs, roasted potatoes and wheat bread. I must say that the highlight of the meal was the smoked meat. It had a rich countryside flavor and was very tender and tasty. I give it an A+!

Today we walked in around 830 on a Saturday. No line, but also no one was there to greet or seat us. I always think of Padema from Top Chef fame during restaurant wars, there was an episode where the host was there to greet initially or say goodbye to, and she made a comment about that. It's stayed in my head since. Service was ok, a little slow, blueberry smoothie tasted powdery, and came with whipped cream. Biscuits and gravy was ok, biscuit was dense and cold, like it had been in a fridge overnight taste. Not saying it was but that's what it tasted like. Sausage and bacon were great! Wife got the club sandwich and said it was ok. The fruit plate had a nice variety but the grapes were mushy and a little sour.

Good coffee, and mimosas too. Our friends ordered something with eggs, pancakes sausage, bacon, there was soo much food on those plates. The pancakes were as big as my head, I thought it was two meals each plate. I'm gonna get that next time. Service is really good, quick and friendly people. They added more seats outside, which is good, I don't like the inside, it really loud and its impossible to carry on a conversation. So if its nice outside, I'd recommend it.

The restaurant is much bigger than I expected. Most of the tables in the main dining area are for smaller parties of 2-6, but there is a room toward the back that can accommodate larger groups. We waited about 30 minutes for a table of 10. Once seated, our server came by to take our drink and food orders. Service was decent overall. Our server had a pretty stern tone/didn't seem very happy, but she was helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The portions are definitely generous for the price. I ordered the Build Your Own ($14.99) with scrambled eggs, sausage links, and biscuits with gravy. I was honestly floored when I saw two BIG biscuits on the plate! While the portion sizes and pricing were great, the food itself was just mediocre to me. Personally, I'd rather pay a little more for better quality food elsewhere, but if you're looking for a casual spot in the area, this isn't a terrible option.

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.
