Black Bear Diner

My family and I really enjoy eating at this location. The decor gives off Big Bear vibes. If you get a chance, read the cute phrases on the bar chairs. The breakfast sweet cream pancakes are delicious and something my Daughter loves. I usually always order a burger with a side salad. I'm a big fan of their bacon ranch dressing. The biscuits are great and it's always hard to resist getting a small pie at check out. This restaurant is pretty pricey and the service is spotty. Sometimes there is a wait for someone to seat you even though there are a ton of empty tables. I think it's just an issue with not enough staff.

$54 for two breakfasts (one small omelet with a side of veggies, and 3 pancakes, 2 sausages, 1 bacon, 2 eggs) is frankly too much. Especially when the wait time was 20+ minutes to get our food. The atmosphere is good, and menu selection is decent as well. But chances are well pass on breakfast here as there are too many other choices with better value in the area.

We ordered 3 items to go and it was $54 .... Very expensive for what we got. Waffle review: waffle was cold and bland , bacon was good though.. Omelette review: omelette was pretty good , nothing special.. Eggs Benedict review: looked like it was all falling apart (see picture) didn't have very much taste , hash brown were kinda gross and mushy. Most likely will not go back

I've never tried this diner before and decided to take my son Billy before his dentist appointment in the afternoon a few weeks ago. I had the nicest waiter help me out named Matthew! He was very patient with us in deciding what we should try! The fried steak was great! and my son loved his California Omelette! Will be back!

Food undercooked. I came yesterday expecting a really nice bite to eat, but was disappointed. Pancakes are amazing, berry lemonade amazing, but every thing else was either under cooked or not made properly. My order came with eggs and sausage. Unfortunately, the eggs were not the portion that was on the menu and they were slimy which meant they were not fully done. The sausage was like mush when you bit into it and it was pink. I would have made a complaint, but I had already sent back my country potatoes that were undercooked. I don't know who cooked yesterday, but they did terrible. I never gave the impression I was in a rush to the server so the food should not have been rushed. I wanted to enjoy a nice meal after come home from campus instead I wasted 35 bucks on food that wasn't cooked. I ended up taking the potatoes home with me and refried them so they were completely finished. Lastly, the cobbler needs some work. It was 5% crust and the rest berry. Cobbler should be an even portion of both crust and filling. No hard feelings just improve.

Always have liked The Black Bear Diner. I was a little let down, as your food was not as good as all of my other experiences with your restaurant. Please check out this one and make sure it is as good as you always has been before. The first Black Bear I ate in was in Redding California. Your service and quality has always been one of my favorite places to eat. Hoping you will bring your quality and service back to your previous quality. I wish you and your company the best in the future.
