    Pot Roast Melt
    Cece B.

    We were quickly seated & ordered mimosas. I also ordered The Bear's Choice; Waffle, eggs & bacon plate. Loved the waffles. My friend ordered a Pot Roast Melt Sandwich & thought it was really good. Total came up to around $56 dollars. Overall Food & Service was good.

    Mushroom Swiss Burger

    Food was great. The angus burger felt a tad on the small side. I might be imagining things. It was delicious though. The kids loved their meals. Fast service even though they were very busy. Chill vibes.

    The environment is always bubbly and loud at this establishment, so if you're looking for a quiet space- do not come here. If you love great conversation, a nice space after church, and great food then this is your go to spot. Take into account that it gets very busy during breakfast. I went with the volcano breakfast and it was absolutely delicious, pancakes were soft, and eggs were cooked perfectly. I gave it a 4/5 because there was a long hair in my pancake, but the waitress brought me over a $5 coupon for next time. :)

    2-Egg* Ham & Cheese Omelette

    This is such a cute place! Decorated like a cozy cabin there are bears everywhere. A dessert case up front lets you see the sweet treats available for taking home and there is seating if the restaurant is busy enough to have a waiting period. We were seated right away and got our drinks immediately, since we were waiting for a third person we held off on ordering and the waitress came right back when our party member appeared. We got chicken fried steak, an omelette and bread pudding French toast and everyone enjoyed the meal! We'll be back for sure. One of our favorite "comfort food" places.

    Inside....holiday friendly!!

    11/27/25 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Getting lunch here! Arrived! No wait and Gali greeted and was very kind. 2, turkey & 1 ham dinner ordered & paid for. Gali said it would be ready in 15 minutes. It was very busy inside. We waited in the car for it be ready. 15 minutes flew by! Go to get it and the worker was nice and said it was almost ready & it was ready a few minutes later. The worker brought order with good day wishes! Appreciated!! That was WAY too simple! Thanksgiving lunch time! Everything was Great! Unfortunately, they only gave 1 cornbread muffin. We're supposed to have 3. The only problem. I shared the cornbread and it was GREAT!! Mother said hers was really Great minus the cornbread muffin, but I did share my cornbread muffin and she loved it! Gam literally said hers was Really Great! GREAT service & GREAT Thanksgiving lunch! Pie included for dinner looks DELICIOUS! Dinner!! Absolutely DELICIOUS pie! Perfect after thr GREAT lunch!! Highly recommended!

    Veterans Day menu

    Stopped in for Veterans Day cuisine. Amayah was the perfect hostess. Breakfast, lunch & dinner menu choices were available for dine in of take out. I appreciate Black Bear Diner for recognizing & serving the veteran community. Juke box in the waiting area provided nostalgic music for good time entertainment.

    Sweet Cream Pancakes

    Glorious black bear diner. Delicious sweet cream pancakes pair nicely with butter and poached eggs.

    Pancakes & Bacon
    Rodney N.

    My introduction to Black Bear Diner was in Las Vegas about 7 years ago. It was one of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to & this Fresno location is the same. We've been in Fresno for 6 days & today is our third breakfast here. First, the have one of the best unsweetened teas in America & these sweet crème pancakes are second to none. Bacon is crispy, not greasy, & never burnt. Really, the only downside is their hash browns are not good. They need to kidnap a hash town cook from Waffle House. Service is quick but unobtrusive & their desserts rival those of Perkins or Village Inn. Not the cheapest place in down but you get an excellent meal for your money. 4-stars.

    Loaded Baked Potato
    Amy H.

    Love it here! Portions are huge. Everything we ordered was delicious. The server was a great help too! It was our first time there and she gave us time to really explore the menu and narrow down what it was that we wanted to order. By far, Black Bear Diner is our favorite diner to go to!

    Soup of the Day (150-650 cals.) which was chicken noodle
    Matt W.

    My mom and I went two days in a row, a couple weeks ago because the food was excellent the first day. She had the little less dinner with pot roast, while I had the Santa Maria steak. I didn't care for the taste of the garlic butter I believe is on it but that's a personal preference, I just don't like garlic type stuff, but aside from that I still ate it and our lunch was great. Mine came with the option of a soup which was chicken noodle and one of the best chicken noodle soups I've tried. Definitely recommend that. Customer service was excellent as well our server was kind, she came back to check on us multiple times, even suggested dessert which we weren't thinking about but glad we got, the brownie Sunday was really delicious. The next day we went back and my mom got the fish and chips, while I got the pot roast but the classic size dinner, and it was a big portion. It also came with the soup option, this day was the broccoli cheese soup, not bad. The server was just as kind and friendly as the last day, he checked on us multiple times. I can't say I really had any thing negative to say towards the food, or staff. And I really love the look and the feel of the inside of the place, the atmosphere is peaceful and decorated well. Positive experience overall!

    Homemade Chili
    Zofia G.

    Always a fan of Black Bear Diner, so I was pleasantly surprised to find one out here in the Clovis/Fresno area--I usually go to the Torrance location. Same great atmosphere, friendly service, and cozy vibe. The food was solid all around, but definitely try the chili--it's rich, flavorful, and hits the spot. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving comfort food done right.

If you didn't make reservations and ask if being seated outside is faster to get seated. 3. They will ask for a phone number to text you your in the waiting list and when your table is ready. 4. Food comes out fast. Bottomless coffee. 5. Some items you can choose 1 side order or 2 side orders. 6. Look at the menu before going or while waiting (posted here on Yelp) There are so many options and if you're hungry you might be in a hurry to order and miss something you really would have wanted to order. 7. Becareful don't have "Big eyes" these are good size portions my wife and I shared and still couldn't finish. You can get all the normal diner style favorites like eggs, bacon, sausage and a whole plate size pancake or get a Pork Verde breakfast omelette or opt for a burrito. To make a long story longer here's a summary : Make RSVPs, Bottomless decent coffee, look at menu ahead of time, Service is good but they are busy so please be kind, and as always if possible bring a friend to share this with and Enjoy.
