This is a reliable location, I got the spicy sausage with my meal and it had a good kick. Juanita gave us excellent service. Bonus points for bringing extra syrup without asking. read more

Juanita did a great job. I was in and out for a quick breakfast. I sat at the counter, by myself. It was not busy so it was pleasant.

Great service - Juanita was great she got everything RIGHT! We enjoyed the HUGE MEAL we will be back!

Juanita was great !!! I enjoyed her service and want to serve me in the future. I had chicken fried steak wirh 3 eggs. It was a big portion enough for two people read more

90% of the time, Black Bear Diner offers great food and service. Today was one of those days. Our waitress was Juanita and she was excellent. However, the last time we came here, our table had no server, we waited for 10-15 minutes and no one came by with water or anything else. We ended up leaving. read more

Came here for a late Saturday brunch for 2 people. All I have to say is I was very underwhelmed and unimpressed with the food and service compare to Mil's. Server never really checked up on us for our needs while we were either waiting for our food or after she dropped off our food. Portion is not even that big comparing to the price. Ambiance is ok but I liked their menu like a newspaper very creative. Overall, I'll not come back and will stay with Mil's . read more

Good food. Decent prices. Jaunita is an excellent server. The hot Italian sausage patty has good taste, but it's alittle thin so it was burnt which made it not as good as it should be. read more

Our food was good and our waitress Juanita was amazing! It was nice atmosphere we will definitely be coming back again thank you so much!

Be wary of the 5 star comments. You'll notice a trend that indicates there must be an internal incentive to mention a specific name or provide a 5 star rating. The authenticity of the reviews are suspicious because multiple reviews follow a specific format or language. Farming and incentivizing to leave 5-star ratings onto customers should lead people to believe the disingenuity of the operational staff of this location. I don't recommend coming here if you don't fit their targeted audience. I couldn't help but feel discriminated against. We had our order taken at the same time as the tables around us, and hadn't received our order yet while the tables around us received their food and finished their meal. We waited for an hour after our order was taken before checking in the front with the status of our order before ultimately deciding to leave. For context. I watched the waitress take the orders of the two tables in front of us and the one table next to us then taking our order before submitting all the orders at the same time. The issue is. How is it that those tables were able to receive their order and finish their meals before our table receive our order? Upon leaving and explaining the situation to the front end staff they dismissed my issue and made no effort to reconcile my experience. They happily were satisfied by me leaving without making a scene or escalating the issue further. It's not in my nature to disrupt everyone else's experience in the establishment, because of the poor service I received from this business. I'm disappointed by the poor customer service, and would recommend patrons to reconsider going here. Some feedback for the business. The operational staff need to be more aware of a customers experience and make a better effort accommodating to a customers poor experience. read more

Juanita is amazing. So sweet and attentive and served us with a smile. She's a delight!

My second time here and still love it so much!Food is amazing so it's the service, specifically Juanita, she was so on it, friendly, and very detailed. She already knew what we needed without us saying anything. Everything tasted wonderful as always. Thank you again to Juanita making our breakfast so perfect. read more

We have been eating at Black Bear in Milpitas for quite a few years. Was always good until Wed, Jan 28. We both loved their patty melt but this time around, was not the case. The meat was tasteless and appeared to be ground beef with some type of filler. The patty was so thin, like a fast-food place. We will give them one more chance but if the food is losing quality and they are getting cheap, we won't for much longer. That was NOT a fully ground beef patty. It was like eating a bun inside a bun. Do better Bear, much better. No wonder the place is always near empty when we go to dinner there. read more

Second time having breakfast at Black Bear Diner at this location in Milpitas. First time was years ago. I recommend this place for breakfast if you are wanting: Welcoming and attentive service Great selection of breakfast favorites - pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs benedict, etc... Satisfying food and must have hot coffee Comfortable, casual ambiance with unique touches - bottled pepper sauces, snazzy jukebox, and the bear themed decor! Ample parking and central location read more

Had a great breakfast, steak and eggs on special for $15. And our server Juanita was very attentive and quick. Can't complain!

Juanita rocks! She was very attentive to our needs during breakfast. We were lucky to have her today!

We loved our food. It was warm and well cooked the flavor was very delicious. Juanita was our waitress and her service was excellent!

Babe's grumpy this morning. As are most. But I love him anyway. During our breakfast convo, we decided my meal looked bomb. I don't actually like taking leftovers, but I'll pay for a to-go container so he doesn't think I waste food. He doesn't waste FOOD! It was good. Potatoes could be crispier. Omelette was giant. So were the biscuits and gravy. It tasted like breakfast. ORANGE JUICE THO! Fabuloso. read more

Great service with Juanita! Very fast and attentive. Milpitas black bear diner always has the best service and food quality.

Juanita gave us amazing service. She also recommended the waffles. Yum! The jukebox in the entrance is a fun touch, too.

Excellent service, friendly. She made sure we had everything we needed. She made our time there an enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant for our family. Thank you, Juanita. read more

Worst service. I was told 10minutes wait but ended up waiting more than half an hour and told maybe another 15-30minuts after I told them we had a fly to catch. No sincere apology and blame too many people. Poor management and customer service. Had food here before, and it was really mediocre. read more

Our server Juanita was great. Very attentive and friendly and got usb everything we need.

They say "never judge a book by it's cover"... BULLSH*T!I! I should have turned the family around the second I saw the waiters & waitress. I take the blame. The face & attitude always says it all no matter where you go, so this was our window of opportunity to walk back out, but we proceeded anyway. I'll keep this short. Every Black Bear diner I've been to had young, happy & friendlier workers who served large hot fresh portions. Didn't get that here. I don't know why in the Hell would you buy into a franchise to serve American food when you're supposed to be serving Mexican. It was a dark & depressing experience of course. Every bite of that cold, tasteless cheeseburger bit back with regret. This is sadly going to be the case no matter where you go now. read more

Juanita was a great server and super friendly! She made our Easter meal amazing! Thank you!

Haven't been to this place in ages! I always like the decor and ambiance. All the bear carvings are also very nice to see. Our server was very nice and attentive to us. Coming in on Father's Day, we had a feeling our food would take a while, but Juanita would still check on us often and gave us very good service for how busy the restaurant was. I also loved the earrings she was wearing. read more

Black Bear Diner Milpitas - 1 Biscuit & Country Gravy from the "Little Less" section (It was huge). Comes with bacon or sausage (not pictured). - Diners Near Me - Milpitas, California

Great service and friendly staff BUT the frier is not set to the correct temp bc fries were under done and when i asked for them to be redone instead of making a fresh batch he/she refried the old ones. The frier was clearly not up to correct temp bc fries were saturated in oil. Frying at the correct temp prevents oil saturation. Also, my daughter's pancakes were under done and tasted like raw dough. More minor issue was i had to hunt for a ketchup bottle that wasn't empty. Otherwise everything was great. read more

Potatoes and fries soggy and cold. 4 pieces of toast but only two of them were toasted. Smothered heavy amounts of butter between the toast pieces like a sandwich. Gave our order to wrong person initially and they touched it but still gave it to use after. Didn't want to make a big problem so just dealt with it. read more

I want to say service was nice. Food was decent but pancakes were dry. Over easy eggs were pretty much over medium. French toast was soggy. People were pretty nice but Togo packaging cost $.80 extra. I haven't really seen a diner charge anything over a Dime for a take out bag. We went during breakfast time and it was slow so no wait. Nothing special at this location. Lots of parking in the private lot though read more

Juanita great service. Quick and efficient. Friendly and checks on us if we need anything

The wife and I decided to try Black Bear Diner for our Thanksgiving dinner. My wife had the turkey dinner and I had prime rib. Over all the service was fine, as it was a holiday, although the servier did forget to put vegetable (green beans) on my plate. The main problem I had was with the preparation of the prime rib. I asked for medium rare and told that only medium was avalible, so I accepted that. When the meal arrived there was absolutely no pink of any kind on the cut. At best the meat would be classified as well done, and very close to jerky. I would give Black Bear a 4 star rating on everything except the prime rib, to which I assign a zero star rating. read more

Juanitas service was great. Went in early in the morning with a large group and she immediately had a amazing attitude. Service and food were excellent. I would definitely come again to this black bear diner. read more

If you like diner food, this place is for you. Great service, good pricing and big portions. They have lots of parking and space inside. I didn't have to wait at all for a table of 3 on a Saturday morning. Mocha Iced Cold Brew (400 cals.): Sweet and yummy but I think they could add more caffeine. I wasn't caffeinated enough, so we went to Starbucks across the way. Just tasted like chocolate milk tbh! Chicken Fried Steak (560 cals.): I got this with hash browns and a pancake. Good portion. Crispy and moist inside. I really liked this dish! It was a lot of food, so I didn't end up finishing the hash browns and pancake. Overall, a decent diner. read more
