Tonight at 5:30 pm my fiancé and I pulled up to one of our regular go-to's for some dinner. He selected the chicken strips and I choose the taco salad. What I did not order was a side of moth. Honestly, the huge bug in my food didn't bother me as much as the carelessness in hospitality from the staff. Yes the bug in your food is super gross and I'm thankful I saw it and didn't eat it. But when we showed our server all she said was " oh I'm sorry. Can I get you something else"...ma'am I just found a bug in my food...why would I want something else? We both clearly lost our appetite after that and my fiancé did not finish his meal either. The did comp my salad (obviously) but charged us for the remainder. Which, in my opinion, should of also been comped. The bill was $22.00 - it was the least they could of done. But no...instead our server tried to upsell us on dessert... Again. After finding a bug in your food would you really want something more from the same establishment?! Black bear ...while I'll miss your food... you can do better. I've worked for The Walt Disney company for 15 years so hospitality and how you treat your guests is big to me. And when I see or experience situations like this it just reminds me that so many companies ( like this one) still have so much room to grow. read more

i am a very picky eater and Black Bear Diner has accommodated my requests. i wanted whipped cream with my pancakes and they gave me a heaping cupful...i wanted pico de gallo with my eggs and they gave me salsa - which was excellent with my overheard eggs. Their servings are huge - will go back to this place. read more

Vanessa is amazingly attentive. They were short staffed on this day, however Vanessa is so proficient in her craft that we couldn't tell she was doing more than her fair share. She truly makes a difference for this location. The food was as expected. I am familiar with the menu. read more

What a great experience at this location. Tarique, our sever is the epitome of excellent customer service and the food was just as ordered and delivered quickly. Our party was large but well were seated quickly and in a great comfortable location. Thank you for the excellent service! read more

We came in on a sunday night, about 1 hours before closing. we were seated and served quickly. I ordered a fried chicken dinner with salad, fries, toasts and veggies. My girlfriend ordered a chop steak with cheese cream, eggs and hash brown. The food was wonderful. Decent portion, my fried chicken breast has tender on the insider. No leftover yellow leaves in my salad. Absolutely zero compliants. Overall, we had a decent experience. the only thing i would mention was the carpet is bit messy. But hey, it is the end of the day. The waiting staffs were all tired. 4.5 stars...ok 5 stars read more

My Uncle, who is a foodie, recommended this place to me. Although the $10.99 Steak & Eggs is no longer a thing, I thought the quality and especially the *quantity* of food you get for breakfast entrees in the $13-$18 range was exceptional. I ordered the Italian sausage patties with extra crispy hashbrowns and poached eggs. When the waitress asked me if I wanted toast, biscuit, or a pancake as the side, I did a doubletake and asked, "a pancake?" Yes. "Like, a real pancake with butter and syrup?" Yep. Only breakfast place I've ever been to that offers that. I guess this place only has a 4.0 and not the minimum 4.5 it deserves because of complaints about the staff, but I disagree with that too. My waitress gave me sufficient time to scan the copious menu options and didn't rush me to place an order. I got exactly what I wanted as ordered, and again, the volume of food you get for the price, plus the mountain cafe vibe of the place, makes Black Bear Diner well worth a morning visit. read more

Been coming here to years! Foods delicious, the staff is friendly. Jaysen takes good care of us when we are here.

Food was great as always. I recommend the chicken fried steak. Our server Jesse was the man! He was quick with it and very attentive. Will be coming back soon. read more

We kicked it at the Black Diner again. I love their location in Fullerton. Tia was our waitress, and she did a awesome job taking care of our table. I wanted the Bear Klaw Burger this time. Big burger with everything on it. Fries are big like steak fries, but you can ask for smaller french fries as well too. Menu options are enormous, and less expensive. Always a pleasure in coming here. read more

Jaysen was an excellent food server. Just needed to ask in the midst of dining, if we needed extra napkins and refill on coffee.

We waited 45 min to sit on a Saturday morning. Jaysen was our waiter. He was great. Got our orders in quick and check on us throughout our meal. Food was good. Portions were big and place was clean. Good spot for the family! read more

We had Jaysen is our server. He was awesome!! He made the Black Bear experience that much better and was very personable and patient with our son. We love coming here and the food is always excellent. Can't get enough of those pancakes. read more

Greeted as soon as we entered. Quickly seated. Food was all very flavorful. If you have a sweet tooth then the cinnamon roll French toast is a must. My fave was the bacon . Diner booth was very clean, condiments very organized. Music playing in the background was a nice touch. read more

Everything was decent, not great, not bad but just decent. The French toast was kinda burnt on one side and kinda undercooked on the inside but the bacon and hash browns we great. My ruben was very yummy, no complaints. Our server was fast and attentive even though it was pretty busy. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed but I would pass on the coffee it was burnt somehow, I switched it for an iced tea. There were a lot of young families there which was great to see and as an added bonus they have a juke box. Pretty standard Sunday post church place to dine :) read more

Brittany was the best. Friendly and attentive service. I would come here again with my family!

Black Bear is one of those spots that is consistently serving those plates we all know and love. This location is pretty busy all the time. But service is always good. It's pretty loud during breakfast so if you're looking for something calm this is not it. But you can always get a lot of food for the price. read more

The food was yummy. I ordered the 3 egg veggie omelette. I loved it because it wasn't too salty. It was affordable. My partner got the Western bacon burger and he loved it. The service was great. Staff was attentive and prompt. Place was clean and had cute, rustic decor. We will definitely go back. read more

On a good note, the food was amazing. It was also a great value for what we paid. However, the wait time was excessive and longer than the estimate. We were quoted 20 minutes and weren't seated for over half an hour. The front seemed unorganized and overwhelmed with the list. Wait staff were begging for reviews which was annoying. Otherwise the service was great. But the seats were dirty and needed better cleaning. read more

First Black Bear Diner with a negative review from me. The tri tip was fatty, over cooked, tough, over seasoned. The sweet potatoes fries were mushy and bland. Broccoli drowning in butter. read more

Very underwhelming. Food is low quality. Nothing here was very good. Kinda crappy like Denny's or Norms. You won't catch me here again.

Country-fried steak is great. Biscuits are huge. Reasonable kids meals. Our server, Vanessa, was very fast and efficient. Decor is fun, too.

Terrible service , picking up orders is a terrible wait time over 40 minutes , and they don't hurry

Came for breakfast this morning and had great service by Yesenia. Our food was great! Service was fast, and coffee stayed full. Thank you! read more

Breakfast is delicious. I recommend you to try this place. Great customer service waitress Brittany the best really nice great service

Food was great!! Service was even greater with Jennifer! She was awesome and very friendly and quick!!! We really liked her. We were seated quick and everyone was organized!!! read more

I visited Black Bear Diner in Fullerton with hopes of a hearty, satisfying meal, but unfortunately, my experience was far from that. While the service was decent--our server made sure we received everything quickly, even though they weren't very attentive--my main issue is with the surf and turf dinner. I ordered a steak that was supposed to be 6oz and cooked medium, but what I received were three sorry pieces of steak that were practically well-done. There is no way the portion I got was 6oz, and the quality left me deeply disappointed. The main reason we chose Black Bear Diner was that I was craving a good, hearty steak, but this meal completely missed the mark. My craving is still very much unsatisfied, and I will never order steak from Black Bear again for fear of receiving another mini flap of meat for over $20. I highly discourage anyone from ordering steak at this location, especially since it seems other Black Bear Diners actually serve a decent piece of steak based on online reviews. read more

Great menu! Huge selection. Awesome recommendations from staff. Ranchero's skillet was amazing. Great service! Thank you Brittany! read more

Wow... huge portions! The food is American comfort food. Much better than a Denny's and the staff is always friendly. I like having breakfast at the counter...very nostalgic and good coffee. For dinner I've had the trip tip with shrimp and the chicken Alfredo (not at the same time!) Both prepared as liked, although the chicken in the alfredo was a little sparse. Still, good and consistent food. read more

I have not been to Black Bear Diner in a long time and have forgotten how good it is. On a Thursday lunch hour, there was no wait to be seated. The menu has so many great choices. I will have to come back soon to try other dishes. For today it's BBQ ribs and shrimp. If the menu item has a picture of a time clock, that item is available after 4:00 PM. Maria promptly took our drink and food order. She is very polite and professional. The meal came out in a timely manner. The ribs were generously lathered with very very tasty bbq sauce. The meat on the bones was almost fall off the bone. The shrimp was good accompanied with hand made sauce. I did have to ask for lemon. Had side of cole slaw which was good but a bit on the sweet side. The other side was a Parmesan cheese toast which was just perfect. Soft and flavorful. I do recommend this location for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. read more
