    Fried Hand-Breaded Fish Fry (2560 cal)
    Tim N.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    I took my Mom here for lunch on our way to a family event. As we walked in, the manager (dark haired guy) I assumed, greeted us and asked how we were. I mentioned casually it was my Mom's birthday and he greeted her happy one. Our server was Sandra and she was super friendly. She told us to take our time looking at menu while she got our drinks. It's an extensive menu with lots to choose from. We placed our orders and Sandra was so detailed in answering questions and explaining choices with our meals. The restaurant has that cozy diner feel with bear decor everywhere. We went around St. Patrick's Day and they had a special menu. I ended going off that menu and had the Corned Beef and Cabbage. It also included Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and Veggies. It was really good, I enjoyed it and it was a good size portion. My Mom had a Patty Melt with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy as her side and she liked it. We were finished eating, waiting for our check when Sandra came with a bowl of Ice Cream with Whipped Cream and Sprinkles and a candle on top, and was singing Happy Birthday. What a nice surprise! Obviously the manager mentioned the birthday to her. She was so kind, really gave my Mom a heartfelt birthday greeting. Fantastic meal and kudos to the manager and Sandra for their amazing customer service.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Black Bear Diner Milpitas

    Do they veggie patties in burgers for vegetarians?

    I hope that

    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!!!

    2nd time here and will continue to come back. Recommend:…read moremake a reservation before coming here. It's a decent size restaurant with a private room and seatings inside and outside. On a weeknight, it does get very full as this is the place to go. Spanish tapas and it's quite filling. Service is amazing. The attention to detail that each waiter provides us, I appreciate it. The warm decor and semi open kitchen is very welcoming. Seatings are most for 6ppl so it feels like Europe with a group of coworkers get together for a bite and a drink after work. The Familia wine is a must. It's a great compliment to the meal. Vermicelli paella is out of this world. I know paella, the flavors are there but vermicelli just took it to another notch. It's located in a small plaza. Parking is decent at times but can fill up during a busy night. Quite an unexpected restaurant In this location but it stands out and just amazing .

    Always a great experience at La Catalana. The food and service never disappoints. I love this…read morehidden gem in our neighborhood. We came here to celebrate my birthday on a Friday night. Made a reservation a few days before and were seated right away. We ordered the squid ink paella. So delicious. Our server suggested we order it for 3 people even though we had 4. He was right. It was the perfect portion for the four of us accounting for the other dishes we shared. Everything is always good here. I don't think we've had a dish that we didn't like. We will slowly work our way through the menu because it is so delicious. The perfect, intimate spot for date nights or special occasions. You will be well taken care of. They did sing happy birthday to me but they asked if it was ok before hand. They also brought a special birthday dessert.
