I had an amazing server, her name was Monica. She was super quick with our orders and bringing our food out. So attentive as well, we never had an empty cup! Overall everyone working that night had such a positive attitude and i will definitely be going back with the family. read more

My family and I absolutely love Black Bear! The food and service is always amazing. All the servers go above and beyond and the hostesses are just as friendly and accommodating. Our usual server for breakfast is Evelyn and she is amazing. Always smiling and kind, attentive and just the sweetest. She's one of the reasons we continue to come back here regularly. read more

Back to one of our favorite restaurants in Oakley, Blackbear Diner! This place has consistently good food. More importantly, it's filled with warm and friendly staff.

I ordered 2 full omelette breakfasts for pick up and received NO hash browns ......................

Inside the restaurant is a cute cabin/lodge themed decor. The pancakes are large, soft, and thick! This was my first time trying chicken sausage links and though they were slightly chewy and tough, I enjoyed the flavor since they balanced out the sweet pancakes. My side of eggs were fluffy and paired perfectly with my meal. read more

What a hearty breakfast! I knew that if I wanted to grab a very substantial breakfast with the kids, Black Bear Diner I on the top of the list. I have been sparingly in a Black Bear Diner all across California throughout the years and I vividly remember that I always left the diner with a full tummy. I had a Chicken Fried Steak, with over easy eggs and biscuits and gravy on the side. In a very kidde move, both Abi and Jacob had Chicken Tenders for breakfast. =) Man that fried steak was really delicious; equally succulent and crunchy. Their biscuits and gravy is humungous to boot! The kids tenders were on point as well. Perfect well seasoned crunch with a moist tender chix inside just like my country steak. The onion rings that Abigail had for her tenders was so good as well, never did the batter waiver and let the precious onion loose. Overall, as expected a wonderful meal here at Black Bear Diner. read more

I am so very disappointed in Black Bear. The prices have gone up and the food portions have gone down. Even the kids meals are supposed to come with free Ice cream which all the kids wanted and I had to ask for it our waitress wasn't even going to offer it instead she was trying to hurry us up I stead. FYI don't order the burgers they taste horrible and cost a fortune. They don't even make fresh patties anymore the serve the frozen patties not even a good quality! Overall bad food experience. Waitress was ok but the fact that she was pushing us out was kinda frustrating. This will be my last visit to Black Bear! read more

Alot of great choices. Whether you want breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can have it at anytime. And the servers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Special shout out to Evie. read more

I've previously reviewed the Black Bear Diner, and it's my favorite breakfast spot of all time. The Oakley location was next in the Bucket List. I was not disappointed and I was excited to come here for my Birthday, with my mother's presence. We were immediately seated, and our waitress was attentive the whole way. I ordered the Waffle Combo, with a coffee. My mother went with a Heavyweight option, in the form of steak and eggs. The wait was about 15 minutes, but it was great time for me and my mother to catch up and converse. The location was quite busy for a Thursday morning, but that made the ambiance excellent. As the pictures speak, the food was perfect; my birthday dinner was just what I expected. My breakfast was actually free with an e-mail the Black Bear Diner sends you when you sign up for their offer and become part of their club. Thank you guys!!! read more

If you are looking for a: * Good burgers and huge servings for their combos. * The servers are all attentive and responsive to requests. * We went there around 3pm and pretty much as always black bear diner is consistent with their rustic indoor setup. The people is a little less than the morning busy breakfast but still regular customers are there. We ordered burgers and its just amazingly huge serving is definitely a good deal for the price. read more

Man, this has gotta be one of the absolute worst breakfasts I've ever picked up. I ordered scrambled eggs with biscuits and gravy with a side of fresh fruit. As you can see from the picture it's a huge pile of biscuits (hella dry) and barely any gravy, horrible! The eggs were average at best. Even if these guys contact me for a free meal I will decline and save myself the gas in my tank and the gas in my stomach. I just threw it away.. Save yourself the disappointment! read more

First, I could say the service is horrible. We had a big Latin guy taking our order. He did not bear to ask us if we needed anything. After taking our order we ordered steaks medium. It all came super dry. Tri-tip was dry New York steak was super dry pot roast if it wasn't for the gravy would be dry as well. I won't come back. I bring a family of six and left disappointed. I hope the big guy realized why he had zero dollars as a tip. read more

This place is so so half of the time it's good the other half of the time it's not so great. And the younger stuff that work there are kind of rude. The older staff members who work there are wonderful . It's a hit and miss every time you go. read more

I went on Monday memorial day at 11:30 am with my 94 yr old mother in a wheel chair. Waiting to be seated 4 young ladies came after us help me with the door also waiting to be seated, a young waitress came and was going to seat us down when the mother of the young lady came passed me and my mother at the time a young man came up to me to say hello was there also eating, the lady heard me speaking Spanish. The mother yelled at the daughter and her we where next in line but the mother shouted and told the waitress family of 4 and they where seated before us that was there waiting, this has never happened to us I always take my grandkids there. I complained to the waitress nothing was done only an apology I did not see the waitress tell the manager, I did not say nothing due to respect to my mother I could had recorded with phone and blast on social media. So sad I will not be going there anymore. read more

I like the food. Every time I order food to go the order is wrong or they forget something. Annoying!

Just came from Black Bear. The food and service was amazing as always. Thanks to our server Denee, she was very tentative and amazing. The staff is always so sweet and helpful. read more

Somewhat reluctantly brought my family here. I had a good experience at Big Bears Rocklin location but not here in Oakley. I had the turkey dinner and the turkey was totally dry. It seemed that the turkey was previously frozen and just nuked. The other stuff my family ordered was also lacking - I won't be going back read more

Lola was our server tonight and she was AMAZING!! She had a great attitude and was super helpful our whole time there! Will definitely go again just for her! 10/10k read more

Lola is amazing love her personality and shes super attentive. Recommend getting her as your waitress. Even on your worse day she will make you put a smile on your face. Great service read more

I must admit that this was the best service I've ever received at a black bear diner! I stopped going to Black Bear Diners because of a poor experience at had at the Daly City, Ca location but this location restored my faith in this company. Every single person was so sweet and kind plus willing to lend a hand even if they weren't our server. I came out of the bathroom and needed a napkin. I was immediately helped and then some else came over a few seconds later to ensure I was helped. Our server and shame on me for not getting her name was the sweetest thing! My fiancée ordered a latte with whipped cream. I asked my fiancée for some and the server said I'll get you your own. I said oh no it's okay. And she brought it anyway. Then I used it for my pancakes which made them 10 times better. So sweet of her. She was so thoughtful couldn't have asked for a better service! For the service alone, I would give 10 stars if I could. For the food, I was a little disappointed. My fiancée enjoyed her chicken fried steak however she noticed the size had drastically shrunk. My omelette was not made with real eggs which through me off especially since I was sharing with my toddler. Also Black Bear Diner owners - a California omelette should have bacon. My server and i both agreed. For food I would have to rate a 2/5 Quiet and quick brunch on a Saturday morning. read more

Great customer service great staff. Veronica is always great. Highly recommended breakfast in Oakley.

"I really want breakfast for lunch." My boyfriend said "you know there's a word for that, right?" And so it was, that we found ourselves at Black Bear Diner on a Sunday afternoon. Around 2 pm there was a 10 minute wait for a party of 2 but it seemed like quite a few larger parties had a longer wait. Service was amazing-seriously the friendliest restaurant staff I've interacted with in recent memory. Our server came by several times to check on us and happily accommodated some customizing of our order. I got the veggie omelette with egg whites and no cheese. It comes with potatoes and either a pancake, biscuit or toast. I opted for the pancake and as you can see from my pics, it's a lot of food! I had plenty of leftovers. Quality is far superior to other chain breakfast spots and my omelette was full of chopped veggies and the pancake was light and fluffy to perfection. It was the perfect brunch on a cold rainy Sunday. This location is huge with the typical "bear" decor and rustic feel. I've been to other Black Bear locations and this is by far the best one from service to the layout to the quality of the food. I'll be back! read more

9. Outstanding meal here. I had the Prime rib and my colleague had the beef stroganoff. The staff does an amazing job of describing anything on the menu. Took 1star away because of the loud music. read more

We were waited on by Veronica. Veronica did and always does an excellent job getting us what we want. Veronica is very attentive. The dishes we had today were great -- as usual. I had the crispy chicken Cobb salad with just the lettuce, crispy chicken, blue cheese crumbles, bacon and avocado. My wife had the breakfast club with bacon and scrambled eggs -- delicious! Black Bear in Oakley is our go to spot, and if there is a wait, it is usually a short one and worth it! read more
