I've heard of Black Bear Diner and wanted to give it a try. I was getting my car serviced at Frontier Toyota you know how that goes so I had some time to kill and decided to stop in for breakfast. Gail seated me and took care of me. She was great at multitasking and stayed attentive throughout. I ordered the bacon avocado Benedict with thick-cut hash browns. The presentation was great, and the poached eggs were perfectly runny (which is a big plus some places really miss the mark on that). The hash browns were super crispy, just how I like them. Everything was delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

They were short handed as all restaurants are now days. The food was good. The trademark biscuit was one of the biggest that we have seen, and good. Joyce our server was very good, and ontherun. We got in before the breakfast rush. One of the better BBDs that we have visited. My wife and I recently visited on our way through town. 4 years since our last visit, it appears they still operate short staffed. A short wait for the server to take our drink order. Then off to the next table when he could have taken our food order. To which we waited about 5-10 minutes for him to return to take our food order. It was taking at least 20-30 for the food to come out from the kitchen. It was interesting watching the manager clear all of the food orders off the monitor when there were about 10 tags hanging. Yes when service is slow it gives people time to watch to wonder while the service is slow and observe what is happening. My mini volcano looked more like a child's volcano of when we were coming out of the pandemic. Cost savings in the name of slow service. read more

We've been coming to this Denny's location for years, and every single time it's been a pleasant experience. That kind of consistency is hard to find, and it's exactly why we keep coming back. The environment is always chill, low key, and comfortable the kind of place where you can sit, relax, enjoy good company, and not feel rushed. Whether it's a casual breakfast or a laid back dinner, it's just an easy, reliable spot for us. The food has always been really good, and we've never had issues with either the meals or the staff. I normally order the Hearty 9 Grain Pancakes Combo, and it never disappoints filling, warm, and exactly what you want when you're craving a classic comfort breakfast. Kevin usually goes for the Country Fried Steak Combo, which he always enjoys and finishes every time. The staff has consistently been kind and attentive, and the overall experience just feels steady and dependable. After years of visiting, this location has truly earned its place as one of our go to comfort spots. Another relaxed meal, another happy visit and we'll definitely keep coming back. A dependable favorite that consistently turns everyday moments into something a little special. read more

Ate here recently, we always come back. The food is always great! Our server/waitress Joyce, was friendly , attentive and awesome! Made our dining experience 10 times better! Thank you! read more

Omg I was so pleasantly surprised with this place! It's so so cute inside and actually looked clean and welcoming. I was so happy and told a staff member in the front how cute the place was and how excited I was to be there and he wasn't so enthusiastic :(That was the only thing I was like ahhh ok (his name was AJ, hopefully next time he will be a little happier) the food was good, the chocolate pies are so yummy. I felt so cozy and usually I hate going out and it being dirty etc. but this place was so nice. read more

This place is so underrated and honestly deserves all 5 stars. Came here for breakfast today and honestly glad I did. I got today's special which was the prime scramble (scrambled eggs with BEEF ribs) which tasted great. And is also so hard to find a place with beef ribs instead of pork ribs. Came with two sides the biscuit and gravy and the sweet potato fries. My friend got the breakfast chorizo burrito, it honestly looked soooo good but I'm not fan of burritos but it just looked huge and said it was delicious. The white cheddar Mac and cheese however was so normal and I'd just prefer the normal traditional yellow Mac and cheese imo. We got the chocolate cream pie AND omgggggg that was sooooooooo delicious! I'd just go there to get that next time.(sorry if the pie was half eaten lol that how good it was. I remembered to take the picture when it was almost done hahahaha) The service was very awesome and attentive with all of our requests, thank you so much irelanda (I believe that was her name, I apologize if I miss wrote it) drink refills she was in it. Getting us sauces and utensils she was in it with a big smile on her face. Also, working out the sides for us was very helpful of her. The ambience was so country style theme. Which I'm assuming that's the background of the place. It was so calm and relaxing in there. So no complaints about the place. Honestly, one of the best diners I have ever been to. I'm definitely going to be back again for dinner or lunch to try it out. read more

I've been going to Black Bear for years, usually the one on the other side of the grapevine in Arvin but we decided it had been quite a while and stopped in here. It was very quiet and not busy at all and we were sat immediately. Our food took some time, and I'm sure some people would have complained because we were like the 3rd and 4th people dining in that day, but people should realize they cook their food to order. Obviously there's random prepped ingredients but 95% of the items have to be made to order. The upside is that it will be fresh, but the downside might be that it isn't the fastest in the restaurant game especially if it's a busy weekend morning. Personally the portion sizing and great value as far as pricing goes are what brings me time and time again, but the fact that it's actually really good food is a major bonus! My tri tip dip was absolutely mouthwatering and the grilled onions and mushrooms were perfect. Of course we will be back! read more

Pretty basic food. For me I am ok with basic sometimes, but I need the prices to match.

Be prepared for big portions. Great prices, customer service and food. Nice clean bathrooms. Plenty of parking. My free birthday breakfast for signing up for the newsletter. I added the potatoes before I knew how much food I was getting. Coffee is good. Not included in birthday coupon just fyi. read more

We have been to plenty of BBD's over California, so we know the brand well. The decor is always the same, and the restaurant is clean as usual. We had a party of 6 on a weekday mid-morning. We were seated way in the back. Overall the staff did ok, but it felt like they were under-staffed for sure. The food was not particularly hot, but was timely. As usual, the portions were huge and lots of left overs. We have had better experiences there, but overall we will return as we know some times not everything can be 5 stars. Did not get photos. read more

Thank you Juan, you are part of the reason why we keep coming back to this location. read more

We had a union meeting there for the Mail Handers of Santa Clarita P&DC. This was our second time and both times were top notch. There is a separate room that seats 40 people. The food is delicious, and served fast. I highly recommend this place. As long as I'm union president, we will be conducting our meetings here. read more

Black Bear Diner is a solid choice for anyone craving classic comfort food in a relaxed, cozy setting. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Juan. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Juan checked in often, had a great attitude, and genuinely made the meal more enjoyable. The food was filling and tasty, but the service from Juan is what I'd come back for. If you go, definitely try to get Juan as your server--you won't regret it. read more

My wife and I had breakfast today, and let me tell you, the food was fantastic! Most importantly, Carla provided the best service.

GETTING HERE: Located in the strip mall area of Magic Mountain Parkway and Valencia Boulevard in Santa Clarita. Look for the Barnes & Noble and you'll be golden. REVIEW: This was my first time to Black Bear. It was really good food and service. I can't wait to go back. My guest had the BLT and I had the Turkey Club with the Huckleberry Lemonade. If you are up for a good time, GET THE HUCKLEBERRY LEMONADE. Sour. Sour. Sour. Souuuuur goodness. I will be back to another location just for a H.L. to go. :) Oh, and also: Bread. Pudding! My Turkey Club was so flavorful. It was cooked well (not over/under done) at all. Fries were cooked perfectly. My only addition/correction is that I prefer my bacon to actually be cooked. I should have specified that. The restaurant is so cute inside! Makes me miss my Idaho and Utah homes. :) Have you been to a Black Bear Diner yet? You should go! :) read more

Nice quiet spot, great while your automobile is being worked on nearby. Food is tasty as expected. Service was ok. Food servers were fine. When I went to pay I asked for a receipt and the code for the passport stamp. The hostess was completely confused and I pointed to the sign by the register describing it. She started to blank out and said I, should ask someone else. So I waited a few more minutes, no one else was around. She was not even offering to find the answer. read more

Today I was greeted by the kindest hostess at Black Bear diner. I had a really great experience and my waffle and breakfast was delicious. One of the reasons I would return is because the hostess was welcoming and genuinely kind. Sometimes you walk into a restaurant or food establishment and people know nothing about customer care. I have to admit the breakfast was good but it was her hospitality that makes me want to come back. read more

Our first time. The sweet cream waffle was my absolute favorite thing! Albeit it biased and love all things 'sweet cream,' but you definitely get that flavor and it's really good. We told our waitress it was our first time and made sure to take care of us always asking how our food was. It was a back to school week so I assume it was empty-ish due to the kids in school so it was quiet. My fisherman husband enjoyed the fish catching bear designs in the restaurant. read more

First and last visit to BBD in Santa Clarita today. I'm not sure if Irlanda was having a bad day or if she's always rude and forgetful but her poor attitude and the sub par quality of food was worth writing a review about. I got a side order of hash browns with my dry and tasteless biscuits and gravy which were $7 and inedible. Took one bite and that's it. She said she couldn't take them off the bill and would have to call a manager out. Didn't want the hassle and more waiting around and just wanted to get away from her so just left with the worst breakfast experience in years. Will make sure to let everyone I come in contact with to avoid BBD in Santa Clarita. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon, their system was down so they were caah only and were hand writing the orders and calculating the totals, but the employees were all so sweet and working so hard! I had the build your own breakfast with two eggs, bacon biscuit and gravy, and it was MASSIVE! I should've taken a photo but was starvin, my toddler had a kids meal with one egg, bacon and a mini pancake and my husband also had a build your own with pancakes as a side! The pancakes were one of the best I've ever had, wonderful brunch spot! read more

I really like Black Bear Diners, so thought I'd try this one when I was in the neighborhood. They had a single person serving the entire restaurant during lunchtime, but the place was empty. That should have told me something. Eventually, 3 tables of people came in. Even so, the server got my order wrong. No one checked on me. They had no desserts ... at a diner. It just wasn't worth the effort and I would not go back to this site. read more

This place consistently has some of the worst service. If you give them your party size the host will immediately forget about you and seat everyone else before you. Only way to avoid this is if you stand right in front of them staring at them. The waiters will only come by once and after a very long time. I really wish I wasn't forced to come back to this pace but my wife really enjoys the cornbread which is why I can't give this place a 2. The food isn't terrible it's just the employees here. read more

Came in for a quick bite, Juan was so helpful and attentive. He even convinced me to order the steak special!

I really wanted to like this place. The food is good and its portion is huge. The only issue is that the service is excruciatingly slow. It takes about an hour on average just for a meal. I've been here 4 times and all 4 times took an hour each. Something has to change. read more

Great experience!! Love the atmosphere and food at Black Bear. My sister and I decided to have lunch at this location, previously had it in Arizona and found it to be very good. We were greeted with a smile by the hostess, Indiana. She seated us quickly, I was very pleased with her professionalism and friendliness. I was very impressed with Claudia, our server. She certainly went far and above for us. My sister ordered a steak, however, it wasn't prepared to her satisfaction and Claudia handled it with professionalism and a sense of urgency. The restaurant itself was very clean and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. We were checked on periodically and never left hanging. We were very pleased with this location and plan to return. read more
