I visited for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing service and food offered. Juan was especially kind and helpful during my visit. The store itself was clean and had the cutest atmosphere. The food was tasty and flavorful. The portions were generous and the pricing was very fair for the amount and quality provided. I ordered the shasta vegetable scramble and it was delicious as was the black berry French toast my boyfriend ordered. We also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy that was just as delicious. I will definitely be returning! read more

Black Bear Diner is a chain restaurant with typical diner food. The menu is a newspaper with many breakfast, lunch and dinner choices. Breakfast seems to be most popular as it does seem busier in the mornings. They do serve breakfast all day but I do not recommend the bisquits and gravy later in the day. I suspect they are reheated which does not fair well. We ordered a meatlovers omelet for dinner with the bisquits and gravy. The bisquit was hard, probably from reheating it too long in the microwave (just a thought). We also ordered the rueben sandwich with french fries. The sandwich was decent the fries hot and crispy. Our server was very nice and the food good. It was not very busy for the dinner hour. read more

First off - we like the breakfast... but we decided to come for dinner. I ordered the meatloaf- and it was AWFUL. slice so thin (1/8 of an inch) had no texture to it or taste. The fillings were gross as well. My GF had the club sandwich- barely any meat and it too was tasteless. We will never get any food from there except for Bfast (but don't get the biscuit and gravy either- tasteless like the cornbread that came with dinner). Chili was cold and had no taste- got warmed up but that didn't change what looked like pork and beans with bland chili stuff added I was wondering why on a Saturday night- there was 7 people in there.....now I know! 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

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

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

The food is always incredible here, I do this thing where I order the chicken sausage scramble and order a biscuit on the side, balance out the calories or cancel it out however you look at it. Today we came in and had such awesome service and a fun conversation with a server named Aj. He was extremely attentive and it's nice to get someone who shows true hospitality and warmth. Definitely recommend coming in and having Aj as your server! We'll be back! read more

Great food and great staff. Thanks AJ he was very friendly, we had a great experience. 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

The waiter was very snooty and he was rushing us with the plates ? We had to remind him to bring us nakins? Several times! The steak was rubbery and hard to cut and to chew it was a battle! The sweet potato fries were soggy and flat abd very greasy , read more

We love coming to the various Black Bear locations across California. Juan was our server and he did great with serving us along with a few other tables at the same time. Each time I try something new and I'm always happy with it. We got the New York strip steak cooked medium, blackened salmon, and buffalo boneless wings....all tasted great! It's your classic American diner type food and it doesn't disappoint. 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

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

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

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

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.

Came here for a graduation dinner, and our server Juan was so nice! He got my party of 8 seated quickly and congratulated my brother for his graduation.

Food okay, horrible staff. Two females at check in/register very rude and made us felt like we were doing them a favor..!! This place should have stayed closed. read more

Food is excellent. Service , when not understaffed, is excellent. I am somewhat a regular as I say this..they are at most times understaffed. Why a manager would allow a group to meet in the back room and have ONE person serving front and back is ridiculous. I watched several customes come in and get irrated because there was no one to help them. read more

Very disappointed in this restaurant and it started from the time we walked in. The waiter looked like a dear in headlights when he saw us, then took everyone's order even those who came in after us before asking what we wanted. Finally after waiting and waiting we decided to leave so this establishment would breath a sigh of relief. read more

Great food accompanied by great customer service. What more can we ask for. Juan was amazing like always. He is very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to fully enjoy our meal. We had a slight error on our order, Juan made sure to fix the error with minimal wait. Everything else was amazing. Thank you Juan, you are part of the reason why we keep coming back to this location. read more

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

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

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

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
