“ I have gone to this Black Bear 10 times this year. It never disappoints. It has amazing service, great atmosphere, and delicious food. The portions are amazing and the price is even better. This may be the best black bear diner in the Nation. Hats off to the entire team !! ”

“ I'm down here in the Bay Area for work and stopped in here for sinner with a co-worker. I've re-discovered Black Bear lately and have had decent luck with the food. The onion rings are great. But this time we just kept it simple and had the Bacon Cheeseburger Salad and the Patty Melt with a house salad. You can get with burgers ab sandwiches, fries, or house salad or even onion rings for free, no upcharge like most places! I had the Bacon Cheeseburger Salad, I know sounds kinda weird, but it's like a big burger without the carbs in the bun or fries. It's pertty big and will fill you up. My friend had the Patty Melt cause I told him it was good here and he wasn't disappointed at all, cooked like he ordered, med rare. Most places just cook it all brown and no choice, no matter what you order, but not here! He liked the Patty Melt and he said it had lots of grilled onions. The service was a little on the slower side from what I've had at other Black Bear locations, but it seemed like they might have been short staffed. All the Black Bear locations sort of look similar inside, not identical, but just similar decor. It's a pleasant place to get fed, not really a date place at all ... OK, unless you're in high school! ”

“ Though I experienced a tad bit slower service, but I appreciate the attentive staff! I would come back to this location again. Decaf coffee was not too sour and relatively strong. The sausage patties are made in-house and I highly recommend trying them - just 1.99 extra and very worth it imo. Next time I want to make sure to try the "Burn" sauces - ranging from the Original Baby, Chipotle Mama, to Habanero Papa. ”

“ All right peeps let's see who is in the chopping block todayyyy!!! Yes queens the whole dendinger family was at the Black Bear Diner. Let's start off with the outside of the establishment. Very clean and lots of parking. Cute decorations outside with wooden statues of bears. When you walk inside you just see so much decorations not only that they also have a gift shop. You get greeted by a hostess which they were very nice. He got our menus which when I saw I said hmm how weird is this why is he getting newspapers so we get seated in our own little privet area no one else was there so it was nice to have a quiet and nice experience there. Now for the ordering Daughter- San chicken avocado club/ soft drink Son-bacon cheddar burger/ hot chocolate and soft drink Ex-husband- new your dinner/ hot chocolate Wife- San tri-tip dip/ soft drink Me- new your dinner / hot chocolate and soft drink We got checked up on a lot which was amazing. My daughter said her chicken was very moist and not dry at all. My son said his burger was juicy and very flavorful. My ex husband wanted seconds on his new your stake he finished his salad as well one thing he did not like was his corn bread muffin he said to grainy. I enjoyed my meal a lot I finished everything the mashed potatoes where amazing very buttery the stale had so much flavor and the hot chocolate was amazing just the right amount of heat and the right amount of whipped cream. Our total for 5 of us was $133.80 totally worth it to be honest. Our waitress was amazing Now for the moment of truth is this place dendinger approved. Drum roll please !!!!! YESSSSS!!!! QUEENS THIS PLACE IS DENDINGER APPROVED FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT TO THE SERVICE TO THE FOOD IT WAS ALL AMAZING DEFINITELY A OLACE TO TRY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. We will definitely be back with the whole family again. Thank you guys for this amazing experience and this time we will buy merchandise from your gift shop. ”

“ They don't take reservations for parties under 20. We went on a Thursday, for dinner around 6pm. Fortunately there wasn't a wait. It was chilly inside so we requested to be seated in the warmest part of the restaurant, which was the back room. It wasn't so chilly back there. We were a party of 6 so it was nice to have a private room shared with one other party. I ordered the Little less meal, For smaller appetites, a smaller portion of their Homemade Meatloaf (1060 cals.) A special recipe of ground beef and seasoned sausage. Roasted then topped with our savory beef gravy & a deep-fried onion ring $ 11.69. Most of there meals are heaping with food, as advertised this was a much smaller portion. No left overs. It came with 2 small pieces of meatloaf. Unlike how we make it at home with a ketchup sauce on top, this had brown gravy on top. It was very tasty. I'd order it again. The best part of the dish was the onion ring. It was small and perfectly crispy, so very tasty. It came with mashed potatoes that were so good they didn't need gravy. I also had a choice of broccoli or green beans. I didn't realize that they would be canned green beans. They looked like canned green beans that look you instantly recognize. They were made with bacon and actually tasted good, if you could get over the canned thing. I was hoping for fresh green beans the kind you get at thanksgiving dinner, stir fried. Next time I'll ask and get the broccoli. My mom ordered the fried chicken special. IT wasn't good. It was dried out and a tiny portion. She drowned it with gravy and ate it. I thought it was going to be a piece of fried chicken, but instead it was a single half of a chicken breast. She would not order it again. My dad ordered the little less version of there pot roast. He ate it all and thought it was really good. On our way out I noticed that they had a lot of good looking desserts. Next time I'll save room for the cheesecake. Service was excellent. She brought us both gravies so we could choose. She was patient and catered to all of our needs. And best of all she didn't rush us out. Food was brought in a timely manner. Overall it was a great experience. I'd come again. ”

“ Food - Good I ordered the chicken fried steak. Initial the food looks somewhat appealing. The portion size very good for the price. The chicken fried steak was cooked to perfection. Nice crunchy texture on the outside. Nice juicy and meaty in the inside. Seasoned very well and it goes very well with the gravy. Not a huge fan of the hash brown. Little soggy and not seasoned. Not crunchy. Service - Good I felt welcomed right when I walk into the establishment. My server was very nice and I got my food pretty fast. Ambiance - Okay What you would expect at a family diner restaurant. Elderly drinking coffee , and familys with childrens ”
