    Joe's Hobo Omelette (1300-1610 cal)
    Shawn S.

    Amazing old school diner with outdoor nature vibes. The portions are huge and food is delicious with a huge menu. The interior is very spacious with lots of seating. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They have merch for sale and also do catering.

    Fried Hand-Breaded Fish Fry (2560 cal)

    I kid you not, the lady that served my table is the sweetest lady ever! I came for the unlimited fish fry thinking I can eat several fish, however, I was proven wrong as I was only able to make it to round two. That was a lot more fish than I anticipated! Thank you!

    The steak is on the leaner side, but not hard to chew. There is not much crust and has some black pepper. I think they achieved medium rare as I asked. Potatoes are cut a bit thick but I don't mind it. Eggs were cooked perfectly.

    I go to Black bear once every 10 years and it's still nice. I feel like I'm in Tahoe when I'm inside, which is the best! Relaxing nature vibes. Our wait staff Juanita today was very kind and attentive! We got our orders and food quickly and enjoyed a nice breakfast. I tried cinnamon roll French toast which was very fun. The center of the roll was still gooey, and it came with a little icing on top. Yum!

    This was my first time visiting this place. I think it's a solid option when you're craving diner food. The portions are large and well-seasoned. One of its best features is that it makes its own hot sauces. All three are flavorful and vary in spiciness. I didn't take many pictures because I was honestly focused on enjoying the food. It's worth noting that the maple syrup served with the pancakes is warm, adding an extra touch of flavor. The location is spacious and clean, although parking is limited. The staff members are very friendly.

    Juanita is a fabulous server. She's accommodating and never left me with an empty coffee cup or in need of anything.

    My yummy "sides" breakfast.

    First of all--Good Morning! Next, I was so hungry and craving grits on my hour long commute to work that I thought about Black Bear. I came in and was instantly greeted, led to a table of my choosing and then immediately welcomed by Juanita, my service professional. I took some hot tea, which was served so fast--thank you Juanita! I then placed my desired order--GRITS, and also some biscuits with gravy, but let's be serious, I'm here for the grits. I wish I could teach folks how to properly make grits. I go for a new breakfast spot constantly in Milpitas area, just searching for yummy grits. #hardtofind Anyway, apart from my grits not meeting the expectations, Juanita did! I told her I was in a rush and she delivered. Fast service, fast food, fast check and such a sweetie. I'd come back just for her service. But not for the grits lol

    Wow! What great service and good food. We had a large party larger than 45 people, and they took care of us. They got us our food and Bills right away everything was taken care of. COCO our waitress was great and took very good care of us. I definitely recommend coming.

    Do they veggie patties in burgers for vegetarians?

    In the DoorDash app, for pies, is it single slice or a whole pie? If it's only a single slice, is there any way to buy a whole pie?

    They are mini pies. Enough for two people, but it is not a whole big pie.

    Breakfast all day?

    Yes all day. In fact the most recent promo is breakfast for dinner so that tells me definitely breakfast all day as a norm.

    Do you guys deliver?

    Delivery is an option at this location. We use a third party for delivery and this may affect your time for delivery based on the driver(s) availability.

    Is their meatloaf any good?

    Well, hello there! I may be biased... however, I will say "Yes, our meatloaf is good!" In fact, it was on my favorites list well before I started working for the company!

    If I order the chocolate cream pie, is it a single slice or a whole pie?

    It is an individual small pie but so good

    Do you accept debit card?

    Yes

    Do you have fried rice?

    I don't think so! Why waste your time when you can go to an actual Chinese spot and get it authentic!!!

There is plenty of parking but even at 5pm on a Sunday, it was almost packed. Wines are $8 for a 6oz pour plus $4 more for a 9oz. This is for Happy Hour, not sure what the prices are for the rest of the time. My friend had a Mezcal, which was $13. I tried the sparkling and was not very impressed. We did not get anything to eat but by 6pm, the place was hopping, lots of tables were filled. I would pick this place again for ease of parking and consistent food and drink menu.

More importantly, we made a reservation through Yelp for Labor Day weekend. However, when we arrived, we were told that the restaurant does not accept reservations during holidays. If that is the restaurant's policy, it should be clearly stated on Yelp and the reservation system should be restricted for those dates. It was frustrating to find this out only after arriving, especially when we already had guests with us. We were then given a shortened dining time, which made the experience even more stressful.

I ordered their chili lamb kabob which was tender and juicy. It had lots of flavor from the spices but enough to where it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered it on top of a pillow of rice which was fluffy and buttery textured. It was delicious. There are sauce bottles to pair with the meats which is my favorite part. I really liked their white creamy yogurt sauce mixed with their red house chili sauce. It gave my lamb meat so much flavor and some heat. I loved my order and will definitely order two next time. I also want to try their steaks. They take their time grilling their meats so orders can take a short while. It's worth it for sure. No complaints here but I do wish they played some light music in the background for some ambiance. Things can be real quiet in here so it can be awkward dining in. Other than that, I really like this place and will be back for more.
