Black bear diner has several locations in Houston and different states. They have good size meals brunch and dinner. I went for breakfast and tried their breakfast melt sandwich and that was really good. I would order this again. Their pancakes are big definitely shareable. The Benedict's are very well presented and good. Clean and very spacious. Good service and our order came out accurate. read more

First off the staff was so polite and every member looked like they were non-stop working. So they were attentive and helpful no matter who came by. The restaurant itself was so hot. It was also packed. We came on a Sunday and they were turning tables fast. The hot sauces on top the tables definitely could've been replaced as they were crusty and almost out. All the food could've used more seasoning and despite how hot the restaurant was, the food came out colder than I would've liked. They definitely way over charge for side times, a small side of Mac and cheese was $6. A handful of fries was $5. Combos thought were priced well. They have an AYCE fish fry Friday that might be cute to check out once it gets cooler outside as it was too hot to eat in the restaurant and we took our food to go. read more

Loved my experience at black bear diner! Ended up getting eggs Benedict as well as the bread pudding French toast with bananas. Overall everything was delicious! The only thing I would say is that the food came out on the lukewarm side. Also, would have liked Canadian bacon for the eggs Benedict but the ham was good too. Server was nice and very friendly, family atmosphere. Will most likely be back to try the chocolate chip pancakes!! read more

We were seated quickly, which was appreciated, but unfortunately no one ever came to our table to take our order or even acknowledge us. After waiting for at least 5 minutes without any service, we decided to leave. Fast seating doesn't mean much when you're left sitting and wondering if anyone knows you're there. Very disappointing experience. read more

Stopped in for a quick sweet tooth fix and we were not disappointed. The counter display has excellent pies ready for purchase. We settled on a mini apple pie and a mini chocolate crème pie. These pies are perfect for an afternoon treat or even after dinner dessert and they are priced right. read more

Black Bear Diner Cypress - Diners Near Me - Jersey Village, Texas

I went here for my free birthday breakfast meal. It was excellent as always. My friend came with me and she got the two biscuits with gravy and bacon, and I had two pancakes with eggs and bacon, so I gave her one of my pancakes, and I got one of her biscuits. It's so much food you can barely eat it, and we ended up taking some home. I absolutely love their pancakes, and I'm not a breakfast person. The service was pretty good. I will definitely return, and I do recommend it. I have never had a bad meal here. read more

This place is good old homemade country cooking. I love coming here for breakfast and their homemade orange juice is freshly squeezed.

Black Bear Diner in Cypress was a letdown. The country potatoes were cold and had such a strong chemical aftertaste that I stopped eating them. We even took them home thinking maybe I imagined it, but the next day they tasted exactly the same. The biscuit was so dry it could have patched a wall. Service was fine, nothing memorable and nothing terrible. The black mold in the men's room was not a pleasant side, according to my fiancé. He was very disgusted how the bathroom was kept. I hope they can tighten things up. read more

The banana pudding French toast was delicious and my mini volcano was gigantic lol I only ate one pancake so I have to remember their pancakes are huge lol The staff is amazing and always made sure my coffee cup was filled and provided me hazelnut creamer. I love those details where they make sure you're happy. I will say be prepared to wait for a table if you go right at lunchtime. It's worth it. read more

Black Bear Diner Cypress - Shasta Veggie Scramble - Diners Near Me - Jersey Village, Texas

We normally eat breakfast here but mom wanted the all you can eat fish. They advertised it on their menu. We got there and the place was crowded with a bus full of kids in front of us. We were seated and immediately placed our order for 3 AYCE fish plates and one breakfast plate. The waitress was new but she said you get two sides. I ordered Mac and cheese with my fish diner and it was more expensive. We waited for our food and she came and said they were out of fish. Offered something else like the fish and chips. We also ordered onion rings, which were extra. We got ready to order a different dish and she said oh we do have fish. She only brought two plates along with the breakfast plate. My husband had to wait ok his fish and chips. We eventually cancelled his order because we were done eating. The fish was good and crispy. Not really seasoned but the texture was good and so were the sides. We were ready to go so didn't even order any more fish. Since this item is on the menu, they should ensure they have the volume. read more

Great morning visit I must say. The place is located on corner of 290 and 1960. Upon entrance the staff was very welcoming and helpful. It feels a lot like a roadtrip spot from a 90s roadtrip movie and I enjoyed the ambiance. I ordered an omelet and big ass biscuit. The food was quick and tasty. This is a must return. read more

If you want to hear people arguing and leaving you to deal with your hunger and thirst, then you'll be in good company here. I've usually frequented the Sugar Land BBD. I didnt think there would be a big difference in experience. FAFO-I was wrong! First off, it was not very busy, but the waitress we had was very slowful in returning back to the table. She was having a whole conversation with another table. I finally flagged her down to order but when the order came out, it was incorrect. They gave my Mom the regular size entree she ordered versus the smaller version. We brought it to another crew member's attention because our waitress was no where to be found. In fact the other crew member provided us refills on drinks as well. Still the restaurant was not packed at all, so where was the waistress? Refereeing two other employees that had gotten into it. I mean it was LOUD. Just really unpleasant. When we were pretty much finishes eating, the waitstress did come by to offer to go trays but the real waitress was cleaning tables. I did tip my original waitress, but I gave a much larger one to the person who checked on us and made sure we lacked nothing like refills and utensils. She also made sure I wasn't charged for the mistake on the order. If it wasn't for that crew member, I probably would have asked for my money back and left due to the ruckess and noise from the arguing. I will say this: Food was spectacular, especially the cinnamon roll french toast!!! You have to try the next time you to BBD, but maybe a different one. read more

This is a hard one to write. Previously I would have given them 5 stars, but the last three times I've gone it left a bad taste in my mouth. And not just mine, but my dining companions as well. The service was extremely slow and the food was consistently cold! And the general ambiance of the whole restaurant was annoyance. Black Bear use to be my favorite close place to go for chicken fried steak, but their service AND kitchen have gone downhill so bad they've had their three strikes so I'm out and won't return. read more

The staff was great. Everyone I came into contact smiled and greeted me. The food was also very good. The problem with this location is the heat. I noticed when I walked in it was a little warm, but not too bad. I watched as an employee had to consistently fan themselves while working. After waiting for a table for 10 minutes it got hotter. I thought it might have been due to the consistent opening of the front door. I sat on the opposite site of the restaurant and to my surprise it was hotter. read more

I went on a Sunday Morning with my family. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Waiter was cool and food was good with large portions. When it was time to pay the waiter stated the total of the bill but never brought out the bill. She added the tip into the bill without giving me the opportunity to tip. I tipped her an additional 10% because I was in a good mood but I could be a customer who maybe didn't have what she thought I should tip. I didn't make a fuss about it. I just gave her an additional tip but waitresses should not do this to customers. read more

I placed an order through Uber Eats which the courier did a great job communicating with me. The restaurant did not have any Blackberry Bear Claws, I assume because the driver sent me a message for substituting the item, their options was apple pie, which is not a substitute. So I declined that, and I was still billed for this item that I didn't receive. Next, the restaurant did not provide any syrup for the orders (3) besides the one order we never received. Finally, our food looked like it was fixed in a UFC match, one order of the pancakes jumped off the ropes and landed on top of the sausage and Sunnyside Eggs. The next order the eggs looked like they were placed in a choke hold and the sausage could only be found by using a treasure map which was not provided. Lastly, my youngest child said what happened toothed Eggs, they lost the match, and the sausage links were Mia until I had to remove the pancakes to retrieve them. This is not how anyone should receive a food order, of course only if you are a UFC Fighter or fan. read more

The one in California doesn't have the mascot walking around, but that's okay. It was nice to see, and the children just loved it. Well, I ordered the Grizz, which is about everything anyone would want for breakfast. It's the eggs, pancakes, bacon, ham, and sausage. Of course, I threw in a side of grits, adding jelly on top! It was really crowded this Sunday, but the service was quick. I sat at the counter since it was only me. Plus, the tables are better suited for larger groups. The breakfast, as always, is delicious here, which is why I keep coming back no matter what state I'm in. The grits are always buttery and not lumpy. The bacon the same is always cooked at the right temperature to have those crisp edges. If you are looking for a deep southern breakfast, great hospitality, and friendly customers, this is the place. read more

Great service, our waitress was very friendly and attentive but that's about it. The food is not great. My husbands biscuit and gravy had hardly any gravy. He wanted sausage patties with it so he paid extra and while they absolutely had great flavor and seemed decent quality....pretty sure it wasn't cooked fully. His breakfast was very salty. I had the meat lovers omelette, there was no thick cut bacon in that, it was crumbled bacon topping. Also totally salty and I could barely eat it. Either the food needs to improve or menu descriptions need updating. This was our first time and not at all what we were expecting. read more

Black Bear Diner Cypress - Chicken fried steak Biscuits Waffle - Diners Near Me - Jersey Village, Texas

The portions here are huge for low cost! I had the chicken fried steak omelette and it was really good! The chicken fried steak inside was crispy and full of flavor. It comes with gravy on top, I wish I asked for extra gravy being that I'm a sauce person but I added some hot sauce instead and it was perfect. The grits was okay, I added a lot of butter to make the grits creamy since it came out a bit clumpy. My friend had eggs and biscuits. I don't normally like biscuits but this biscuit was actually really fluffy and buttery! The food was good but the service was slow... I also found it really weird for the waitress to take your cup to refill water. She walked around the entire restaurant with our cup before she refilled it and brought it back to our table. That's a huge red flag for me. I think the staff can use better training. The restaurant decor is cute, and lives up to the name of black bear diner. Huge diner vibes. It's cute. read more

Sat for 10 minutes until the hostess asked had anyone come by, which was no. It wasnt very busy but they seemed disorganized. The food came out pretty quickly and was pretty good. I don't know if I would come back based on sitting that ling without acknowledgement. read more

So disappointed! We went back for the AYCE fried fish thinking we wouldn't be treated unfairly again... but we were wrong. We had four AYCE orders, and only three of us even got to ask for more fish the second time. Right after that, we were told the restaurant ran out of fish and we wouldn't be able to order any more. Can someone explain this BS? If you can't honor AYCE, then don't offer it to customers in the first place! read more

10.1.23 Super late lunch again. Hubby and I were in the Cypress area finishing up some chores and stopped at BBD for a quick meal before heading home. We both ordered breakfast food. I was going to redeem my birthday meal but when I went to pay it was expired. Bummer! I ordered a French toast meal with bacon and eggs. Everything was very tasty. I would order it again. Hubby ordered biscuits with sausage and gravy and it also came with grits. He said his meal was good and super filling. The gentlemen waiter was good and they were not crowded when we arrived. So it was quiet. We really like BBD - wish there was a location in Magnolia, TX! We will eat here again when we are in the area. read more

This Cypress location is still the WORST location. I have avoided this location since my first visit years ago when they first opened. I purchased a family breakfast meal and several items were missing. Someone gave my second bag to someone else. I ultimately received my items as the manager promised, but not as easily once I showed up. This visit, the server was uninterested in serving. The hostess took my order and served my food. He put my water on the table on the edge of the table and more on the other side where another person would have sat. He gave me a flimsy to go type of container that is easily compromised depending on the weight of the food, so I requested a bag as I was leaving with my partially crushed to-go container. He went to the drawer, pulled out the paper bag and was about to open it, but stopped, smiled and handed me a collapsed bag. At that point, I wanted my tip back. The hostess served my meal so I wasn't going to tip him, but that's not me to tip nothing especially since I've been told they don't earn much per hour. Just will NEVER waste my time and money at the Cypress Black Bear location again. read more

Very organized. Seated promptly. They conveniently have text option for when your table is ready. Went on a Saturday around 12 and the place was packed! When we were seated we were promptly waited on and served. She was on point. Overall the menu is awesome they have so many breakfast lunch and dinner options to choose from. I had coffee but they have mimosas and beer too. The plates were made fresh and served a lot of food. We couldn't finish it all. The pancakes and sweet cream waffle are to die for. They have a little shop on the way out. Loved it. read more
