I parked my truck crossed the street and walked to Black Bear Diner on Christmas Day. They had a special menu for Christmas. The breakfast was delicious and fast. Coffee was another level. The place itself is really clean and stuff is friendly.
Wow! This diner is big. My 6-year-old loves the bears, my 70+ year-old mom loves the ambiance, and I love the staff.
This location has a banquet room for large parties and events.

I am dairy-free, and I love how easy it is to customize my order. My favorite entrees are the custom omelettes and scrambles. I add homemade mild sausage or beef gravy to replace dairy. So good.
It was busy while I went so you can tell they were understaffed, but the server was great and did what they could with the amount of tables they had. Anytime they came to the table they were polite and on top of the orders. Over all good experience, avoid going during a rush.
Talk about a dining surprise. Our family had to drive from San Fran to Reno due to flight issues and stopped here with it being right off the highway. Didn’t expect such a delicious meal!!!! The homemade sausage was some of the best we have ever had and my vegetarian scramble was overall amazing (I would suggest ordering with a decreased amount of onion - pretty sure there was a whole one). Daughters pancakes and the avocado toast was all top notch. We were in a hurry and they were helpful and gave great service too!
We love Black Bear diner. Every time we visit we get a great meal and awesome service. Our most recent visit on the evening of 10/27 was the best visit ever!! Branden our server was awesome and really took great care of our group of 11. He even recited from memory all the burgers on the menu for my elderly father in law. Which I very much appreciated. Brendon was awesome but so was the entire staff that we interacted with. Everyone was happy and helpful and made us feel welcome. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal and the fantastic service.
The Black Bear Diner was a great place to eat. I went there twice during my stay in Sacramento. I had the chicken fried steak Benedict which was delicious. The second time I had the Grizz, it was so much food but very scrumptious. The staff were great my coffee cup was never empty. The decor was very much what you would expect from a place named the Black Bear Diner. I thought the commercials they had on loop on the TV when you walked in were great. If I am ever back in Sacramento for work this will be my preferred breakfast place.
Great place and atmosphere to eat ate! Really enjoyed the food and service! The bun in the pic was smushed only because I had to take a bite first! Good stuff!
Big restaurant, decent food and service. The Joe's Hobo Omelette was good, recommended.
The pancakes offered here are delicious, and their coffee is good too. It's worth commending that they open their doors as early as 6am, catering to early risers who desire a delightful breakfast. Not only that, but the staff members are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding an extra touch of warmth to the overall experience.
Food was good and large portions as always. The wait sucked 30 just to get seated then our server was slow. From when we sat down ordered ate and waited to get our check another hour and a half. He was nice but we had to remind him about utensils and napkins. I’ll go back since we all enjoyed our food. Hopper they hire more people and train there staff a bit more.
