Breakfast with the family. First time trying this place out and went on the lighter side. The avocado toast with sunny side up eggs. It actually was pretty good! Everything i had was fresh, from the avocado to the fruit bowl. If ur looking for a healthier option, I would recommend this! Great service as well! Our waitress actually was the one that recommend me the avocado toast since I was the one that asked for something on the lighter side. Reason for the 4 stars is cause of not what I ordered but what my family ordered. They told me what they got had no flavor and was bland. Especially the french toast and also the pancakes. The bacon was good though, eggs, and the hashbrowns is made fresh. read more

Stopped by Black Bear Diner and was really pleased with the overall experience. For $12.99, you get a solid, budget-friendly meal with huge portions that will definitely leave you full. I had the steak and eggs plate served with scrambled eggs, country potatoes topped with onions, and rye toast. The food was decent--classic, simple diner comfort food that hits the spot when you want something warm and hearty. read more

Had to give 1 star because you can't give a zero. Got to the restaurant at 9:45am. Waited to be seated. Sat down was given 2 empty cups for coffee and our waters. Waiter told us he would be back with coffee. Here we are thinking oh good we are going to get freshly made coffee. Seen another server fill coffee cups but ours remained empty. We were waiting for the coffee for approx 10-13 minutes. I wasn't about to chase the waiter down. If I had it my way, I would have grabbed the pot myself and filled our cups. I've never been brought empty cups ever. Always full cups of coffee wherever we have had ate. Left the restaurant at 10:13 Sadly, not going there again And we were so looking forward to our breakfast plate...the grizz Too bad read more

Came here for the first time My wife said let's give it a try.I ordered pancakes and sausage. Pancakes were dry with no flavor.My wife had eggs.The salsa was terrible.Service was terrible. Our server never came by to ask how was things going or if we needed anything or any refills.She also took forever to bring our bill. I will not be coming back here again read more

I'm not sure what's happening. Our waitress ignored us. Didn't offer a drink order. Didn't bring extra napkins. I had to go to the bathroom to get papertowels. I have the 4piece chicken and obviously you need more that 1 small napkins. She never checked on us until we were done with the meal. She didn't bring butter for my corn on the cob... not sure why? We tried to stop her to ask for our drinks and she kept walking while we shouted our order to her. Very rude and discouteous. This is our second negative contact with this place. The food was burnt.... ham steak and potato over cooked/burnt black and chicken was greasy. We won't be going back to this location. We tip waitresses very good bc they have a hard job but you ma'am did not rank any tip at all. Then we had 2 live wants walking on our table when the food arrived. We had to kill them while eating lunch. Gross read more

A very classic and comforting diner feel, but the service was kind of slow. I'd recommend it if you have time to wait and slowly enjoy your food, but not if you want a quick brunch place. Overall, the food was pretty good though. I got the build your own breakfast, and it was pretty standard eggs, bacon, and a waffle. Nothing super special, but just classic diner food done well. read more

Ambiance - It's a diner LOL During breakfast there's a lot going on, lots of families with kids, etc. But it was totally fine and expected. read more

Me and my husband ate at this location last week for the first time and enjoyed ourself so much we came back the following week. We went both days on a Tuesday around 1:30 and it wasn't that busy our waitress Michelle let us sit where ever we wanted, I appreciated that. She was our waitress for both days and each time she was attentive, hospitable and welcoming we came back because of her. Last week I tried the BLT on sourdough and this week I ordered the steak and eggs with hashbrowns and toast for $12.99 it was their mon-fri special it was alot of food at a great price. The food and their strawberry lemonade was good. The food, the decor and our waitress Michelle made it an enjoyable and pleasant experience. read more

We went there for Thanksgiving. As we were seated, we noticed food left at different tables that had not been cleared. Leftovers were not taken with the customers. Our food was awful. Chicken fried steak was awful, no taste. Gravy was super salty for the pot roast. Even the eggs didn't taste good. Butter "packets" that we got were all melted. The only thing that was edible was the cornbread. It was probably made somewhere else. After we got our food, no one ever asked how anything was or if we needed anything. The server just gave us the check and walked away. The bathroom had not been cleaned for some time. I know this review is a few months later, but when we go to restaurants, we usually talk about the worst meal and experience we ever had. Oh, and I still left a tip. read more

I came here with my family and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience. The wait for our food was very long. I ordered a Cobb salad, which should be one of the quickest items to prepare, but it took forever to come out. Because we were running late, I only had time to take a few bites before we had to leave and I took the rest to go. When I got home, I noticed the eggs in my salad had mold all over them. This is a serious health hazard and honestly reflects very poorly on the restaurant's food quality and safety standards. I hope management takes this seriously and improves their quality control so this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

We waited 40 minutes to receive our food, waiter did not come check on us after we ordered.. not once. We received our food from the kitchen but we were missing both mine and my husband's pancakes that went with our meal. I couldnt flag our waiter down until we were done with our food. It was after 12pm so it wasn't that busy so im not completely sure what's going on. Food was good, my husband's and kids scrambled eggs were just hard but not sure if ill come back.. read more

amazing experience every time! Melinda is very helpful :) always sweet and good service, can't recommend enough!

Been quite awhile since I've been here and breakfast just sounded good and came in. Ordered the steak & eggs special and overall it was good, asked for extra crispy hash browns and they were perfect! the steak was ok, the biscuit was very good.

My friend and I went to Black Bear Diner for breakfast, and it was pretty busy when we arrived. At first, the hostess said it would be a few minutes, then came back and said about 20 minutes -- but a super-friendly host named Gio ended up seating us right away. He was cheerful and welcoming, which made a great first impression. We both ordered the Sweet Cream Waffle breakfasts. My friend had hers with strawberries and whipped cream, and we both got eggs and bacon -- she had scrambled, and I ordered mine over hard. The food was overall good, though my egg came out a bit too firm, with the top kind of too crispy, and the bacon was tasty. My friend said her meal was fine -- nothing special, but good. We both ordered coffee -- I got decaf and she had regular. I didn't care for my decaf; it had a strange chocolatey taste, so I sent it back. My friend's coffee came out in a stained cup, which didn't look great. They did exchange it for a clean one, but honestly, it never should have been served that way. Our server was polite, though service was on the slow side -- about 25 minutes for the food and a bit longer for the check. The atmosphere was cozy and lively, with every table full, kind of like something you'd see at Knott's Berry Farm -- nostalgic and family-style. Overall, it was an okay breakfast -- friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, but a few service and quality issues kept it from being great. read more

Yeah Ok so I'm late to the party. I'm talking about Hella late but I'm finally here man! So breakfast for dinner? Yeah that all me! And probably some of you too. Anywho, this here spot gives me Big Bear vibes, not because it's the Black Bear diner but just the feel and look of it. Blah Blah Blah, so I scored the Corn Beef Hash and it was a little different then I'm used to but it was still tasty. Their coffee slaps you in the face but then again some people like it like that, LoL. So after drinking my coffee and grew a little hair on my chest, LoL I noticed that the Jukebox was like a mini Jack FM station if you know what I'm talking about. The service was really good for one person taking care of all of the tables by herself. And that's my take on this breakfast spot for late nights, Peace out. read more

It has been disappointing to see that a quality of the food at this restaurant has been decreasing little-by-little. This used to be one of my favorite American breakfast. Restaurant I was there at these past week. And what a disappointment food was overcooked, even the pancakes were burnt and not only that, but cold when he was served or finally taken to my table, I addressed it to the waitress. And they warmed up my food in the microwave. Definitely. The food worse, not tasty steak was dry overcooked. Potatoes were aubercooked and chewy. Not crispy like if there were cooked and old. Unfortunately for me, it is a disappointing to see. That's such a great restaurant. It has decreased the quality off their food. I took my daughter-in-law because she hadn't never been there. I had to spoke highly about the place and to realize that whatever memories I had from the plays before it's not there anymore. read more

I have patronized other Black Bear Diners in other cities and Rancho Cucamonga more than once. Although the quantity of food is more than enough, the quality is less than desirable. I don't understand why the food they serve is good one day and the next, well, not so good. I ordered their breakfast marinated-grilled skirt steak special, and I was disappointed, to say the least. As a matter of fact, I lost my appetite. The steak was tough to the bite and less than warm, as was the rest of my plate. I also ordered a short stack, and the pancakes were cold and dry. The coffee was lukewarm. One positive review was their ham steak and eggs. My wife had no complaints. The whole experience with my order was disappointing. The service was slow even though there were only a handful of customers. Our waitress and the restaurant team, although busy, were nice and had good personalities. It has a nice country ambiance, and the restaurant was clean, although it needs better maintenance. It falls short of the owner's vision, "To have a clean place where people feel at home and can share good times together!" read more

We came here late afternoon on a Friday, and were the only customers in the restaurant. We liked the the atmosphere, and the service was also good. They even have a little souvenir shop in the front of the restaurant if you're interested in some themed souvenirs. The main dishes we had were the hobo omelette and the cinnamon roll French toast. Both were really good. We've had better cinnamon roll French toast at other places, so we probably would get something different from here next time. All in all we enjoyed eating here. It's a good place to go get breakfast at any time of the day. We're looking forward to going back. read more

Very disappointing experience. We received a plate with a hair in the food and had to send it back. Not only was the situation handled poorly, but we were also charged twice for the replacement plate. To make matters worse, the utensils we were given were dirty. The manager seemed upset that we sent the food back, even though the issue was clearly not our fault. The waitress was very loud when discussing the situation, which made the experience uncomfortable and embarrassing. Earlier, she had also warned us not to order the potatoes because they were coming out of the kitchen undercooked. The food itself lacked flavor, and the overall atmosphere made us feel rushed to finish our meal instead of enjoying it. Between the poor food quality, cleanliness concerns, and unprofessional customer service, this was not a pleasant dining experience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

They have a lot of option here. It's a basic breakfast place. However, the portions are big so you feel it's worth the investment. The staff is friendly the inside feels like you're in a cabin and there's really not much to complain about. I really think they should improve the rewards program like every other establishment. We just put in your phone number and earn points but they don't do that here so that's a downside. I highly recommend if you're not a huge eater to split with your partner, even the kids could possibly share a plate read more

Michelle was very nice and helpful! My kids loved the tenders and fries along with my cinnamon bun French toast! Thank you

Disaster was hoping it had improved I would give zero stars if I could. I did not get any pics of the food. Ordered a Parmesan sourdough burger that was supposed to have Swiss cheese and substitute a veggie patty. The first time the server brought something on marbled rye bread that had a burned burger patty. The second time the server brought a burned spicy black bean veggie patty that was burned and had American cheese. At that time I gave up and said I would go eat somewhere else. Really wanted to like the place. Used to go a lot then had a couple of bad experiences thought I would give it a try hoping it had improved after a 3 year break but it was worse. read more
