Went in Saturday around noon for lunch with friends. Place was crowded but we didnt have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. Waitress was courteous and service was great. We did not feel rushed as we looked @ the menu (first time for both my friends so they took their time with the menu). One of my friends ordered "The volcano" breakfast platter and other ordered "The Grizz". Loads of food and obviously neither one of them finished their plates. I ordered a turkey sandwich with avacado and cranberry sauce served with a side of garlic fries. The prices bill was around $45 for the 3 plates + an order of biscuits and gravy which we took home. We left around 12:30 and the place was thinning out. TLDR: Average price, average food (lots of it) and good service. Be prepared to wait (not long) if going during peak hours.

We have a few of these in Arizona and I was never impressed with the food quality or service so when the people I was visiting decided we should stop I decided to take a chance. I wish the entire staff would pack up and move to Az. Their cooks could teach our cooks here somethings about how to actually cook and their waitresses were above average and obviously care about wanting customers to come back. While I still cant trust the AZ restaurants enough to eat there again after so many bad visits, I can see my self frequenting this establishment on my next trips to Cali.

I ordered the Clam Chowder with Corn Bread, Raspberry Iced Tea, Prime Rib Med Rare With Garlic Fries, Onion rings and a side of Ranch! Every thing was so good! Our Server Was Absolutely Wonderful Too! Thank You (AGAIN) For Another Excellent Dining Experience! If I had unlimited Funds I would eat here EVERYDAY! But dont take that the wrong way, the prices are good here and I always have to take a lot home! I would recommend this Place to EVERYONE!

NEVER GET MY STEAK THE WAY I ORDER IT! WAITED TWENTY MINUTES FOR 1ST REFILL ON COFFEE.! I ORDERED NO BUTTER ON MY PANCAKES AND WHEN IT CAME IT HAD BUTTER THEY TOOK IT BACK SCRAPPED THE BUTTER OFF AND FLIPPED THE PANCAKES OVER, MOST OF THE BUTTER ALREADY HAD MELTED INTO THE PANCAKES. 3 CHANCES, I WILL NEVER RETURN.

We went there for breakfast and waited 20 minutes and nobody asked us what we wanted to drink or gave us silverware. People came in after we did and were waited on immediately. The waitress said she didnt see us. We left and will not go back. We went to a different restaurant and were waited on right away.

Black Bear Diner is one of my consistent eating spots for the simple fact that they provide quality, delicious meals in a large abundance. Their staff is always accommodating and quick to help, and their quality of product and presentation is always a highlight.

Our favorite diner. The ribs are soft, juicy and tasty. Full of characters, cute napkins, cute chili bottles, lots of cuteness that adds to the atmosphere of this warm, comfortable diner that worth every buck we spent.

Great eggs and sausage combo. Hash browns were decent and pancake was very tasty. Had the hash browns been a little better it would have been a 5 star for sure. Customer service has always been great to my family and I here.

Black Bear Diner has some of the best breakfast i ever had. Really quick. Very polite. One problem portion size was a little to small besides that everything is just fine.

Ok food, not okay customer service. Interracial couples might want to steer clear of Kim, we experienced a stark difference in our treatment vs all the other patrons

Food is great. Great pies. If you have a group (6 or more), a couple of the waitress cant get the Food or drinks to the right person. County feeling inside.

You can get a chicken-fried steak here, thatll fill your belly for days. Its cozy, delicious and not much more expensive than the Carls Jr across the street.

It was great. It is very traditional diner food. My server was great too. I would like the prices of their sweets to be a bit more affordable.

Will never eat here again after I was served a rotten avocado, covered in mold on my sandwich. It was absolutely disgusting.
