Very good. My grandfather continually told me we should go here but I saw the bad rating on yelp. He hit me with some logic "would people wait in line for an hour if it wasn't good" Well we tried it and it was absolutely delicious!! Chicken fried steak is thick cut. Pancakes are so yummy. So much food and no one had any complaints read more

Let me start with Malissa was awesome. She was in point and was very friendly. I basically told her what I was looking for and she out it together. Biscuit and gray with eggs. My food came is about 5 minutes after I ordered. They weren't overly busy but had a good amount of patrons. I was impressed as to how quickly I got my food. I would have liked one sausage in the gravy, but it is what it is. When you come here for breakfast (7:00 AM) ask for Malissa read more

Awesome place to eat when in a hurry! Nice people! Friendly but quick service. Food is great.

Best ever. They were awesome. The food was fantastic. Almost like home cooked food. The staff and management treated my autistic children with respect and compassion. They were extremely accommodating and the over all visit was well worth the price we paid. Best service I have ever had at a restaurant let alone a black bear dinner. I highly recommend this place without any reservations. read more

Great food, excellent service. Plan ahead because it definitely has its busy peaks. Staff is EXCEPTIONAL, I watched the hostess literally do 5 jobs with a smile on her face and accuracy! Once of the best diner's I've ever been to. read more

The bear is a noble beast, and Beaumont's Black Bear Diner is an establishment of great valor. It's beige toned walls are laden with bear paintings reminiscent of the works of impressionistic genius Joan Miro. Our waitress directed us to a sturdy table fit for lords, filling our gauntlets with arctic chilled water and our mugs with what was undeniably by far the best coffee to ever slide down my gullet. Our servings were not unlike a raging Kodiak in size, but in contrast to a wild bear encounter the only creatures ravaging the fare were of homosapien ilk. Our feast was grand indeed and I will forever smile upon its memory. read more

So, I've been wanting to try Black Bear Diner for a while. I was staying overnight in Beaumont and discovered a location close to our hotel. When we walked in, I saw several vacant tables. However, we were not greeted by the hostess. She was busy talking and laughing with someone else. Totally ignored us. Someone in the kitchen area actually yelled welcome to Black Bear. Then the hostess saw us and said there would be a 30 minute wait. I wouldn't have minded the wait, but the vibe I got from her was that she just didn't care. That's not the kind of service that I want to pay for. We went a couple of miles down the road and ate Chinese food. And received excellent service. Very disappointed at the Black Bear Diner. read more

Well, my grandson and I finally went to Black Bear Diner on Walden Rd. There was no line and no crowd, we walked right in and was seated. The whole staff spoke as we walked in, "Welcome to Black Bear Dinner." We were seated and our waitress was Kamaria. We could not have a more accommodating or nicest person. She was superb. We were there for supper, but they serve breakfast all day long. My grandson ordered the Bear's Choice. It was two eggs, pancakes, and your choice of meat. He chose ham. I ordered the Cobb Salad. It was decent, I just wish I had a choice of grilled chicken. It was large and everything was fresh. The pie display was amazing, but I resisted. If you're a big breakfast person. This maybe the place for you. The servings are huge and the restaurant was clean. This is another Best Bites review. read more

Me and the wife stopped in for food and appearance are it's a grill in a truck stop and how good could it really be. Well we loved it. Everything was great, the staff was personable and service was great. We get around and eat at various places from Ruth's Chris two days before this to hole in the wall places and everything was great here. No issues at all. read more

This place was a hit with my three daughters (very picky eaters)! Everything was cooked perfectly and the service was excellent. IHOP and Cracker Barrel aren't really even in the same league as Black Bear Diner and this one is our new favorite. read more

If you're trying to decide between here and Cracker Barrel, choose here instead. The food is way better, the place is way less packed and the desserts take the freaking cake over Cracker Barrel. Also, we've never had bad service and the waitresses are friendly and on point with our needs every time. The breakfast is amazing. My husband loves the cinnamon French toast with a side of bacon and I usually get the 2 eggs with a sirloin steak. For a truck-stop cafe, my steak is always cooked perfectly and is juicy and seasoned nicely! Their salads are huge and delicious too and their takeout service is easy peasy. Great little clean truckstop cafe! read more

I wish we could this Ca based restaurant further east. Got the eggs benedict with grits & fruit. I splurged & gotta side of their homemade corned beef hash. They were out the last time I was here. read more

The service was nice and food was alright,but menu is very misleading. So buyer beware if you get the prime rib with no price,you have to read the entire menu to find out by asking your waitress,so obviously the price goes up and down by what they want to charge,so last night a 10" cost me $26.00 which was a rip off. We will never go again because of this the menu is very misleading because the price above under this section leads you to believe it's $14.99 which would have been a good price. So customers read the menu carefully so your not shocked like I was at the register. read more

Tristan was awesome!! Excellent service. Fast and knowledgeable!! Made the experience 10 times better. Thanks Tristan!

Hash browns cold as hell, biscuit dry, and no sausage in the gravy..... L. At least she gave me two OJ's read more

Very good food and efficient service. Highly recommend this restaurant. The chicken fried steak and the breakfast biscuits are exceptional and the sides complement the main order. read more

A local friend recommended this place, they have never been, we haven't so we agreed, a little surprised I found it to be in Truck Stop, but we agreed and we did, Hostess acted as we bothered her, but then our entertainment came about w/ our server Kim, she was incredible. She knows her to tend to the consumers, she know's her orders, her recommendations were great and very attentive. The food was very good to for a diner, being from NJ originally where we have more diners in square miles and per capita this diner is better than many of those back home. I found out that they have one nearby in League City, so I'll be willing to check it out. There were 4 of us, and they all loved their food. Way to go Black Bear Diner read more

We waited 45 minutes when they said the wait was going to be less than 20 minutes. So we left and had to go somewhere else.

This was our first time visiting this Diner. It was busy. Luckily there was only 3 of us and we only had to wait15 minutes . We had the BEST waitress! She was so nice and helpful. There's a lot to choose from. We all got breakfast and all of it was good. My daughter got the Sweetcream waffle with Chicken strips. The waffles was huge! It was so tasty and the chicken strips were juicy. My husband and I each got the Eggs read more

Black Bear has some of the best home style comfort food in Beaumont. Their Ranch salad dressing is fabulous. They have a ?gooseberry? milkshake that is soooo good. The Taco Salads come in a homemade tortilla bowl just loaded with toppings, it's very filling. Ignore that this place is truck stop and give this place a try. They have a nice country log cabin decor. And the staff are always so friendly. I've only seen one employee there that was a huge jerk, and my guess is he was possibly a shift manager? He was a tall, stocky man in his 50's and he was incredibly loud and rude to the waitresses and cooks. You could tell that it bothered other customers in the restaurant besides us. But pushing Grumpy Man aside, the food...large portions, breakfast is SO good, great coffee, even dinner is good. Try their bread pudding-Yum! I'd recommend this place if you like home style cooking. read more

Chicken fried steak was ok. Biscuit was hard as a rock. Hash brown was greasy. I liked the hot sauces they have at the table. Shortly after eating there I had the worse heartburn I've ever had. Not my to go place. read more

First time dining and not disappointed. Both my husband and I got the smoked brisket benedict. The portions are very generous and will probably share a plate next time. The brisket had a great flavor! The hollandaise sauce wasn't the best I have ever had, but good. We were excited to try their cheesy bacon grits and their applewood bacon that were recommended, but could have done away with both. The bacon seemed like yesterday's...it was thin and over cooked. The grits weren't "cheesy" as the shredded cheese was just topped on top- better if the cheese had already melted into the grits + salt. The atmosphere was wonderful. The menus are great bc it is printed on newspapers with facts about Black Bear Diner. The staff was very friendly too. read more

Great service and wonderful menu selection. Definitely recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner.

I love their food and Service and the Ambiance is great and I just love them and like eating here

I was so impressed. I usually am not a diner gal. After the high recommendation I decided to try the breakfast and it did not disappoint! I had the pancakes, Omgggg!! Can I have more please! read more

Food is very good well portioned staff is friendly and they don't just serve you and forget you I recommend this place anytime

Went for breakfast a few days ago. Great service and food. The pancakes are awesome. Lots of food for the cost.

Very clean nice cozy place located next to a truck stop. Very fast seating we didn't have to wait. Server was nice and prompt, answered all our questions and very courtesy. She even helped us with suggest for food and found cheaper ways to put meals together with food we wanted. Food comes out in very large portions for very cheap price. Food is large enough to share with two people and very tasty. Would differently come back. read more

We like the Black Bear Diner chain. This location did not disappoint. The dining room is cute with family friendly Bear decorations. The food is an excellent value. Great quality for a competitive price. I had the "Joe's Hobo Omelette". Outstanding. Huge 3 egg omelette with a generous serving of home fried potatoes & wheat toast. We will definitely eat here again. You might want to call ahead to confirm the hours. Yelp lists incorrect hours. The dining room closes at 8:00 PM. They stop seating guests at 7:30 PM. read more

We always come in and ask for Malissa, she's great, friendly and attentive, every time! Now the food.... WOW. Huge portions, affordable prices, and it's SO GOOD, Guys. So worth a stop in, so much on the menu we're dying to come back and try. The biscuits and gravy ya'll... HUGE and delicious! I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

We came in with a party of 12, 5 of them being kids. When we got there they told us they couldn't tell us how long. Then about 10 minutes later that said 30 minutes. Then at least he 40 minutes we asked again and they said they weren't sure. after waiting an hour they told us 30 more minutes. They were super rude and very unapologetic. I would never go back there. I wanted to leave a 0 star read more

Long wait to be seated. Good service and good food. If you buy a dessert, make sure it's not expired. The manager tried to package two different desserts that had been expired. I did not trust giving that to my kids so I had to throw them in the trash. read more

This is a regional chain in California that is expanding into other regions. I had very different experiences here over two meals. Dinner on Thursday night was pretty good. And service was excellent. So I returned for breakfast the next morning at 9:50 am. There was one couple ahead of me waiting to be seated. I had no idea how long they been there. Gal approached and tells them "it will be a minute." She then goes to the cash register to our out there drawer apparently. Does for a good three to five minutes. Folks in front of me are restless. She chats with a coworker a bit and then saunters off with the couple in front of me. She talks to someone wake and then comes up and says something I can't understand, but the after she repeats is "just you." I reply yes. About that time, somebody walks by on the way to the cashier stand. She then tells me "it will be a minute" and walks off to get they payment. All this time there are between two to five waitresses coming and going - mostly standing and taking. Cashier/ hostess doesn't say a word to them nor do they make any effort seat me despite the fact I've been staging 15 feet away for 7-9 minutes by no. I just left and went to the Cracker Barrell across the street. Nobody said a word and two of the waitresses just watched me walk out without a word. Day and night difference between dinner and breakfast shift. I'd have given 4 stars for dinner (with an extra kind word for the excellent waitress). One star since I can't give zero for breakfast. I should add that it wasn't crowded at 9:50 am. Waitresses had plenty of time to socialize. And the hostess/cashier certainly wasn't in any hurry. read more

Hands down one of the best breakfast's dishes I've had in a while. Initially, I stopped at the little store next door to grab a cup of coffee. When I glanced in the restaurant side, I was smitten with the diner styled seating at the front counter area. So I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is infectious. I could tell the head cook loved his job. In that moment, I knew the food would be good. I was percent correct. Absolutely divine. Good food!! read more
