Black Bear Diner Menifee - They need to clean the window before they open!!! But the food is great.! - Diners Near Me - Menifee, California

Came in ordered the codfish and chips took it to go got it home. All of the fish inside was completely mushy uncooked or improperly cooked. Should I say called the store back spoke to one of the managers I was told they would get back to Mimis so I could get it replaced no one ever got back to me. I got busy I gave up through the fish in the trash total waste of money. What happened was I ordered some food to go in the restaurant at the location in Menifee which is listed on this post I got the fish home. The codfish and chips. It was mushy. It wasn't cooked. I called. Talk to a manager. They said they were gonna call me back and they never did. If you wanna call me 760-771-7600 thank you read more

The best breakfast joint in the area. The decorations are unique with a cabin feel. The seating times are quick and the dice of the location is large. Seating is comfortable with many booths. Desserts are delicious and so is all the breakfast items. Staff has been kind and friendly every time I go. read more

All in all its good food but hit and miss. I have to order it to be delivered because I don't drive anymore so I have it delivered. And it's hit or miss. Sometimes I get it and it's so good that it's all I can think about so that I order more the next time that I'm hungry other times I get it and it's like Stone Cold and honestly not tasteful at all so it's like I said hitting or Miss. Also saw that it said that I called about an order and they never answered that was a fake review because I never called them. I never would why would I if I don't drive why would I call them?... But my point is the food is good but sometimes it's not good at all. It's like I would like to know the cook that's working when I get it when it's good as opposed to the Cook that's working when I get it that's bad... You can say that it's the delivery person's fault but when I sit here and watch that the delivery person sat there for a half an hour waiting for my food but I know it's not my delivery person's problem that it's the restaurants problem and the cooks problem. So yeah I mean the best thing I've ever gotten from them is there chicken avocado club because that thing when it's made right it's phenomenal. But like I said it's like the order before this one when I got the sandwiches it was they were warm they weren't cold like they should be because you got mail on there and then I ordered an omelet and it was Stone Cold. And the driver sat there waiting for it for 30 minutes for it to be prepared so it wasn't the driver's fault. And they you know for the side if you want fresh fruit they charge you like almost $11 for a cup of fresh fruit? That's ridiculous. Because it was only $10.98 on the menu same thing as $11.... Anyways you only get half a cup or a quarter cup when you order it as a side but the bowl is half the size of when you order a full order of fresh fruit so maybe you get a half a cup instead of a quarter cup if they pack it right but no they don't they just give you a little bit of fruit in this plus the container and it doesn't even fill up a half a cup measurement cup. That said I give it with this economy and stuff and yeah the food's really good but sometimes if you're ordering it to be delivered it's hit and miss. I wish I could drive but I'm elderly and disabled and I elected not to drive anymore so I depend upon places like this to provide me with quality food. Most of the time they do but sometimes I get it and I'm just like who was the cook tonight because I don't want to order from them again. read more

Had a free breakfast special on line. Had never been here before. It was everything promised in the ad. Food was very good and large portions. Service was on point and friendly. Menu looked very good. Will be back for the Friday fish fry. read more

Just want to say that my visit here was awesome. Nory (possibly Nora) was an excellent server. I will most certainly come back. Hopefully, she be working. read more

Very much improved delivery ordering experience. Fast delivery. Food was hot, no errors.

I love this place. It doesn't matter what time you go to Black Bear it's amazing. I'm just a guy who doesn't feel like cooking and this place has everything from breakfast to dinner! read more

We had concern with my chicken pot pie having too much pepper. We mentioned it to Nory our server who replaced that meal with another of my choice from the menu. My patty melt was delicious. My bride had ham and cheese off the breakfast menu. Nory is a super star! She was prompt, friendly, and well informed about the menu. The restaurant was clean. Kudos to Warren who took such care in cleaning the windows, it was like he was cleaning his own home. We've been there many times bringing friends and family with us and we'll be back again. read more

I love the option of breakfast all day @blackbeardiner One of my favorites is their Huckleberry Lemonade which is sweet and tangy. The French Toast stuffed with Blackberry was an interesting take made with a stuffed bear claw. The Joe's Hobo Omelette is a delicious mix of meats, cheese, and veggies, all packed into one dish. Aside from breakfast they offer lunch and dinner options like their Taco Salad. read more

Dayrel was our server and she was wonderful. She was very attentive and the service was fast. The food had generous portion. The hashbrown, eggs and the sausage were delicious. The place is clean and tidy. Would come back again! read more

First time here and it was BEYOND AMAZING. The Eggs, Hash browns and Bacon was exceptional. Special Thank you to our Server, Alicia Azucena for her kindness, professionalism and hospitality. My wife and I give this place a 5 star overall award. read more

I have reviewed Black Bear before. Today's review is specifically about breakfast ordered for delivery. The Uber delivery was good and this is specifically about today's meal. My order was for French Toast, scrambled eggs, sausage patties and coffee. The sausage patties (2) were sizable, cooked to perfection and delicious. The French Toast, not special and small size. The coffee, disappointing and the size of the cup is way too small, especially for the price! The coffee was not tasty and it is bitter. To clarify, I have coffee at home but my experience in the past is why I ordered the coffee. Both at the restaurant and delivery, the taste of the coffee has been great. Regarding the size of the coffee cup, if I was at the restaurant, I assume there are still refills. Why skimp on "to go" . I just paid a ridiculous price for my last coffee purchase at the grocery, so I am aware of the cost! The coffee serving size is not right. Re the size of the French Toast, I get it. In the last 6 months, the bread I purchase has changed. My experience is that store bought bread slices has become much smaller while the price has increased. So I can't fault the restaurant about the bread size. Could you add another slice? I suppose this won't stop me from ordering delivery at least one more time. The price of delivery, with fees, tip, etc. Is outrageous. But when a girl wants breakfast sausage, it has to be. There are other ways for me to use my Christmas gift card than trying to satisfy a food craving. I won't even tell you how much this cost, its ridiculous. read more

I was craving a Reuben sandwich on Easter Sunday. The sandwich was fantastic and the service was even better. A very nice server I wish I could recall her name. It is a very comfortable environment and very large so it can accommodate many people without feeling crowded. read more

Time for an update since I wrote this in the car immediately after walking out the door. I had not heard from my husband about what happened at the cashier stand while I was talking to the "Manager" Food was decent. We added a salad and cornbread to a meal which the menu says is $4.99. When the check came it added 4.99 for the salad and 2.49 for the cornbread . After showing the cashier the error that should have been a fixable no brainer... But no Juan Hernandez says "no." I asked to speak with him...he would not come talk to us. They finally removed the overcharge but not without much debate that was unnecessary. I had not read the other reviews but I am starting to see a common theme here and it is the "Manager Juan Hernandez". Was strange that after telling us "no we were wrong" and not speaking to us I looked over to see him at the end of the counter reading the menu. i approached him and I asked him "did you see this" and pointed to where this add on was on the menu (directly over the meal that was ordered) and he still insisted it did not apply to the meal we ordered. The cashier came and said they removed the $2.49 and no apology no nothing. We come here frequently and I told the cashier we might need to rethink that decision and she said "ok". My husband (Mr passive) was like "wow did that really happen." We not only come for the food but we also purchase their overpriced merchandise (because I like the brand. which I shall now purchase online.)Rude and no apology. After we left he told me when I went to see the manager that our server was standing at the register with her back to us telling another server that we were wrong. Needless to say he was not impressed that she would stand there and say we were wrong when it was all on the menu and receipt. Our Server talking down to another server about us really upset him because he is always happy and social with the servers and he tips them well. Many more little things that happened on this visit but I just can't. read more

They rush you through your meal if their shift is about to end. Completely inconsiderate of whether you need more food, coffee, water, etc. Food was average and served cold. I had to ask for it to be heated. Extremely uncomfortable. read more

I've never had a problem in the past, but this was a horrible experience. I ordered the crispy chicken ranch wrap, and the 2nd half had zero chicken in it just a puddle of ranch. Definitely wouldn't recommend. Service was also horrible. Hopefully it gets better. read more

Black Bear Diner Menifee - Diners Near Me - Menifee, California

Really wanted a waffle. They have a Strawberry cream variety. Waitress said it was good so why not give it a shot. It may have been me, but it tasted terrible, and I was hungry. Chocked down part of it... so much for a tasty waffle. How can you make a waffle taste like sawdust? Thank goodness for the iced tea to wash out my mouth. I mentioned how dissatisfied I was just to give them an FYI. The manager made an adjustment on the bill. Appreciated but I was really looking forward to a waffle like they have in Belgian Waffle Works at Lake Arrowhead. I also ordered a side of bacon. Best I have had in years. Made perfectly. Great taste. I hope this negative experience is an abnormality. Or they say your taste buds change as you age. Let's blame my experience on that. read more

Food is ok . Not that much flavor. The restaurant is big and enough room. The workers are nice, so overall an enjoyable breakfast place to get something to eat. read more

Love the all you can eat fish Fridays great bang for your buck and they offer Senior discounts!!!

Jenny was wonderful as always. It's always a pleasure to have her as our server. The food was delicious and came quick. Jenny made sure we had fresh brewed coffee even though it was the middle of the day. Can't wait to come back! read more

Black Bear diner is a pretty amazing place. Walking into it, takes you back to you being in the mountains. Very spacious great atmosphere, and the food is amazing. We went here because our family tradition has been for the last 4 years is, to buy a a Christmas tree and then go to IHOP but fortunately for us, IHOP was overwhelmed with customers. Our waitress Daisy was pretty amazing very attentive. Food was ordered and came up pretty quick everything exactly right. We had a family of eight and the bill was $164,00 and they game me discounts military discount. Looking to try for a different place. This is it. You won't be disappointed. read more

I'm normally not one to write a review but this server needed the recognition! I went on a surprisingly busy Wednesday night and received some of the best service I've gotten in a while from the sweetest server, I can't remember her name but she is the one with the arm sling. Despite having only one arm she kept a smile on her face, my drink full, and was pleasant and funny then entire evening! 100% requesting her next time I come in and hoping for a speedy recovery for her! read more

Amazing food great customer experience thanks to our server Tyler doing an amazing job making sure we had everything we needed

Cheap/stale ingredients at fine-dining prices. We just moved to the area and gave this restaurant 4 tries because the staff are so nice. The food just isn't good. Open-face turkey: stale bread, dry turkey, overcooked veggies. Burger baskets: paper thin overcooked burger patties, stale buns, drippy, greasy & overcooked onion rings. Instant iced tea. $58 lunch for 2 people. read more

This is one of the best dinners we've been to. From the fresh squeeze orange juice, and the delicious grind coffee, to the amazing service we received from our server "Any". We will definitely be coming back. read more

Inconsistent quality and portions coming out Of this place with lousy management that doesn't follow up on requested call backs. Tried to avoid doing review by calling and to speak with management. 3 hours and no call Back and in my second call to ask for manager Erik hung up the phone. Been ordering and eating there since they opened, however more recently portions and portion control Out of Control from the banana cream pies stuffed with whip cream and lack the rest of ingredients to other sandwiches and salad item we have ordered to either eat there, carry out or delivery. Todays disappointment is the turkey/ ham club with literally 1slice of turkey and ham which didn't even spread enough to Cover all 4 cuts of the club. For the amount of money being charged this is not acceptable. Don't care to dine there any longer. Many options near by read more

I ordered the 2 egg combo with smoked hickory ham. When the food arrived it was cold. The ham wasn't flavorful. The fruit bowl was horrible. I only got 1 very thin slice of strawberry. The eggs were cold and dry. The wheat toast was burnt but the coffee was good. My husband had the tuna melt sandwich. I took a bite and it was good as well as the sweet potato fries. The only drawback about the fries is that they were greasy and limp. The only thing I liked was the service. My waitress was very friendly and accommodating. When I told her that I received was cold, she was apologetic. The ambiance was nice and light. I liked the photos of the bears. read more

We went to the Black bear diner in Menifee. It was ok. They give large portions, the wait wasn't too long, it is clean and the staff is fine. I just feel their prices are too high for what you get even if it is big portions. Won't be going back:( read more

Always clean and the mangers really take pride in themselves in their jobs love to see this shows good owners and caring love to see local businesses treat their customers extremely well also huge portions everyone is walking out with a treat for home later waitresses and waiters are so friendly and welcoming even the bus boys and the cook are killing it back there getting that food out there amazing job folks amazing do you hear me AMAZING read more

I was using the establishment several times a week. The first two visits were awful. The the food to very poor quality. Some items were ok, If you have a problem with your order the Manager will interrogate you like German Gestapo. He is not concerned with your happiness, just his bottom line. Very cocky has no problem making you feel uncomfortable even if he loses a regular customer. Take my advice as someone who loves quality food and friendly environment, skip this place! read more

Great food and people. The prorations are more than I can handle, in a good way. Most places now you don't have much to take home this place I had a second meal left over. It's still new to our area and it is packed but plenty of room in there. Prices pretty even with a IHOP or Denny's but ten times the flavor and cleanliness. read more

"I GOT FOOD POISONING " The cinnabon french toast was so DISAPPOINTING! It tasted like store bought cinnabon you buy at the store premade and they just put egg batter on it and no seasoning to make it a French toast Cinnabon. The food is so bland, no flavor or seasoning. Also, I had an egg omelette which I asked for the cheese and they put cheese and I've been throwing up and had diarrhea ever since the weekend. I definitely would not be coming back again. This place deserves zero stars. Health and Safety inspectors should look into this place. read more

I've always wanted to try this place and my phone knows it cause it constantly recommended it. So my partner and I tried it today 6 pm. SERVICE: I'd like to express Im that I've over looked all "bad" things due to our Awesome server, Elijah. I'm extremely indecisive and often rely on servers opinions ( they know what's good and what's not). Elijah was honest and made great recommendations and constantly checked on us without making us uncomfortable:) FOOD: my bf got chicken fried steak dinner plate, side salad, muffin DELICIOUS I ordered tri-tip chicken strip dinner, loaded potatoe, onion rings. My steak was over cooked ( ordered medium rare , I got well?? Iced tea was great. Salad was great, bright and fresh !! I'm getting salad next time. Pro tip- Vegetables side is only a corn ( they do t serve broccoli/carrot medley) Thanks read more

I'm glad there's a Black Bear Diner in Menifee. The inside is very spacious. There's a jukebox that costs $1 to play a few songs. The food was better than i expected, except for the waffle. It wasn't crispy and seemed like it was made with pancake batter. The service was good. I recommend the burgers with sweet potato fries read more
