    Always a good place to grab a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner. Service is super and the place has a home family vibe. Food is always made fresh and hot with much food.

    Stellar customer service and if I may dare to ask! Has anyone else has noticed the front wooden carved human size bear missing? They had 3 big size carved bears and I resent that? Why? I'm saddened to understand it was kidnapped? Otherwise to be continued and if you are going bye please be sure to stop in as its cozy and just quaint. Snappy fast service. I will be for ever wondered who keeps taking the bears. Nothing to do reflection on service or performance of staff but to the community this is ridiculous taking the bears. To be continued

    I'd heard good things about Black Bear Diner so I decided to come in for lunch. When you first come in, it has a gift shoppy, log cabin vibe complete with store merch and chunky log cabin chairs. Deeper into the restaurant the seating is the standard booths and tables. We were promptly greeted and seated right away. The menus are like newspapers and it felt fun and whimsical to hold it like you're perusing the daily news. IYKYK. They have ALOT of choices! Part of me wanted either a classic biscuits & gravy or country fried steak, but I opted for a pot roast melt. It was quite delightful. The meat was super tender & flavorful. The sourdough toast had a Parmesan crust that was a nice touch. I wish the bread would've been toasted a little more, but I still enjoyed all the flavors together. With a side of sweet potato fries, it was a satisfying lunch. Coke fans be aware: only Pepsi products are served here :( They do have a decent cup of coffee as an option.

    Time for Brunch!

    Definitely a great place to come for lots of food at a great price! Today's server was awesome and was two steps ahead of everything we needed! It's always cute to see all the decor they have with the bears everywhere! Food is yummy and if you love pancakes.... They are famous for them! Sooo light and fluffy!!! Go try them today if you haven't!!!!

    Come in hungry as a bear to Black Bear diner! Portion sizes are absolutely MASSIVE and if you're not sharing a meal, you're definitely going to have leftovers to take home and eat later! I LOVE themed restaurants and this restaurant is very, very bear themed. Lots of black bear art, plushies, photos, woodwork, signs, etc all over the restaurant, outside, in the waiting area, at the counters, in the hallways, at the booths, in the restroom, etc. Our server was super friendly, funny, and welcoming the entire time. I got the: 1) Huckleberry Lemonade: -Pretty sweet and not tart at all and not too syrup-y either. -One refill only so make sure to use it! 2) Bigfoot Chicken Fried Steak: -Absolutely massive. -Comes with a side of salad and 2 sides. I got the onion rings and the Italian green beans with bacon to try to balance out some veggies with the amount of meat. Standard green beans and bacon. Slightly crunchy. Huge portion of onion rings, I couldn't even tell that it was a side. Real onions inside but not too soggy. -It's a 10 oz deep fried tender slab of beef smothered in country gravy. -Delicious savory dish, very nostalgic and warming meal. It is a tad dry, but nothing that the oceans of country gravy on top didn't help. I definitely had to bring this home as left overs. There's also lots of bear themed gifts and merch in the front and some baked goods for walk in and purchase (like pies). Great place to get huge amounts of food. Would come back again and split an entree.

    Food always what you expect and big servings. Service was great and attentive. Went in with my twin daughters they loved it and loved the decor and bears.

    That cinnamon roll French toast was amazing!!! Oh my gosh. I loved the cinnamon roll French toast. It tasted just like cinnamon rolls! Then you add the syrup and it's French toast too lol Love the concept! Delivery was there too! 10/10 I also ordered a veggie omelette with a side of fruit. The veggie omelette was delicious. It had lots of veggies and was very flavorful! Plenty of cheese too. 10/10 My husband got the country fried chicken with hash browns. It also came with a side of huge biscuits! They were so big!! The biscuits were smothered in gravy. Hearty breakfast meal. 10/10 Ambiance was busy. Service was good. Plenty of parking nearby.

    One of the best diners in Fullerton. Lots of delicious food and very affordable and family friendly. Big portions and so many options to choose from. They have so much merchandise you can purchase at the front. Service was excellent and everyone was very kind. A great place to eat with family or for special occasions. 10/10, heading to Black Bear Diner again!

    We've been here before and the food was good. This off this visit The clam chowder was very good and I enjoyed it. On the Reuben sandwich the meat seemed to be old and didn't have much flavor. We ordered a taco salad with ground beef. They used a pulled apart hamburger patty. It didn't work. We also ordered a bowl of oatmeal. It was early evening. It's was like paste. It would have been nice for them to tell they were out of oatmeal. But they served oatmeal that should have not been served. The coffee was hot and we enjoyed it. The service was fine and the waiter did a good job. The restaurant was clean and look nice. I'm not sure we'll be coming back anytime soon.

The restaurant itself is small and cozy with a comfortable atmosphere, but seating is limited. It can get busy during peak hours, so waiting is expected. There are also outdoor tables along the street that you can use when the weather is nice. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable, making it a good option for a casual breakfast or brunch. They were out of cold brew during my visit, so I ordered an iced coffee instead, but it was served a bit lukewarm, which was slightly disappointing.

The service was fast and efficient, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. One thing I really loved about this cafe was the atmosphere.

My friend loved her iced lavender matcha and enjoyed her breakfast burrito though she thought the bacon bits were too thick compared to other places. Appreciated that they validate parking.

During my visit, it happened to be one of the hottest days, so sitting outside to eat or drink was honestly unbearable. Thankfully, there's plenty of seating inside, but it as pretty busy when we went so we ended up braving the heat outside. As for food, I'd say it was decent but nothing that had me craving it afterward or thinking I needed to come back specifically for it. I tried the avocado toast and the bulgogi cupbap and both were good for a casual meal. The drinks were okay as well. I think it's a nice spot if you're in the area and looking for a laid back cafe, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way just for the food.
