    Open-Faced Turkey Sandwich (820 cal)
    Mark H.

    Black Bear Diner has been around since 1995. It was founded by Bruce Dean and Bob Manley, who opened the first location in Mount Shasta. The concept was built around hearty comfort food, large portions, and a family-friendly mountain-lodge atmosphere. As of 2026, that means the chain has been operating for about 31 years. The company has grown from a single diner in Northern California to more than 150 locations across multiple states. Out of the gate we waited to be sat with an empty restaurant. Once sat we waited about 5 minutes for drink order. Placed order for fried chicken (they were out!) and open face turkey. Switched to blackened salmon. With baked potato / salad xtra seasoned veggies. This is a neat atmosphere and you really wanted this meal to be good so you could return but unfortunately, it just was a miss. The baked potato was not fully cooked, so it was very difficult even to cut it in half. I'm not sure what happened on the season vegetables, but they were literally burnt so I'm not sure if they saute them after they flash boil them? So the broccoli was burnt and mushy, and the carrots were hard as a rock. The portion size was very large, except for the salmon, which was about 5 ounces. The menu called for it to be blackened, but there was very little if any seasoning on it at all, and certainly it was not blackened. Turning attention to the turkey plate, it was not nicely carved in the ocean slices of turkey rather it looked like pulled apart, sandwich meat on not so high-quality white bread. I definitely think there's a lot of room for improvement, but it's a risk given so many restaurants in the general area to stop back. Del was our server. He was very polite and did a good job.

    We have gotten food from here three times now, but always togo. The line is always out the door and the inside has been so loud and packed. Service ... it's okay. Slow. But I guess it's due to a lot of people. Food is amazing! Definitely beats Ihop and Denny's. If you're looking for simple breakfast, Black Bear Diner definitely has it! We did sit out side after we got our order because our daughter wanted to play with the bears. Cute restaurant for sure!

    Big portions, affordable price, and great customer service is always a win! We came here on a random weekday. Our waiter greeted us quickly and offered many recommendations. The food then came out warm and quick, which is always a plus. The newspaper styed menu was also cute and unique. For a diner, the food definitely did not disappoint. I will be back whenever in Sugar Land and craving diner food.

    Solid diner food. Everything's good, no issues with it. I think they really shine at breakfast foods, but the lunch and dinner options are pretty good too. Good, attentive staff, prices are fair, portions are very generous.

    The food and service here were spectacular! I had the cinnamon French toast, sauce, scrambled eggs, homemade fried potatoes, and the homemade spicy pork sausage. Everything was absolutely scrumptious. Don't miss out on the best Sunday brunch ever!

    We had a little bit of a wait to be seated for my husband and I, but while we waited every employee that walked by greeted us with a smile and a hello. Very nice staff. The decor and atmosphere was so cool, definitely gives off mountain vibes. They have such a large menu it was so hard to decide. We both chose the build your own breakfast. The food was amazing! Just a heads up though, their portions are pretty large overall a very cool place!

    Went for breakfast with my wife. Portions are HUGE and delicious. Our server, Catherine D., was amazing. She does all the little things right. I can tell that she is one of those rare individuals who does common things uncommonly well. She is a professional. Pay her more. Don't lose her. We'll be back soon.

    My husband and I came here last weekend for a late breakfast and it was perfect!…read more The tables were full so we opted to sit at the bar. The bar is actually really cool because the countertop is full of coins from one end all the way to the other! Haven't seen anything like it before so that was pretty neat. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich- as you can see from the picture, he enjoyed every bite! I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon. The chicken was thick and juicy, just how we like it, and the powdered sugar with strawberries on top really held that nice, sweet and savory fix I needed! Next time we come, I'll have to try the dessert and Bloody Mary!

    Heard about this place just from googling local places. We met a friend on a Friday afternoon for…read moredrinks and an early dinner. Shared the Fish and Chips Special. Was very good. Our friend had a burger and said it was very good. I drank beer, which was cold and our server kept them coming which was great! Would go back for the fish and chips! We then went especially on a Wednesday to have the Chicken Pot Pie special. It was served in a bowl type (very large mug) with a big croissant type bread sitting on top. Have never seen it this way so we were kinda surprised. It was not terrible but won't order it again. It came wth a very large side salad. Also ordered a cup of the potato soup. It was very runny and unfortunately not a potato to be found. Also would not order again. Their daily specials seem to be a good deal. Their menu has quite a selection as well. Definitely want to try their breakfast!

    Had been wanting to see what this place was all about, so I planned a brunch with my favorite girl…read more Had a great experience overall! Here's what we tried: Queso & Chips: Super creamy and flavorful. The chips were fresh and had the perfect crunch. Great way to get it poppin'! I orderd the BBQ Beef Hash: It was on point! Smoky, filling, and satisfying. The beef was tender, and the potatoes had a nice crisp. Topped with perfectly cooked scrambled eggs--comfort food done right. Michelle had the Cheeseburger: She commented that it was tasty and juicy. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. The bun was soft and buttery, and the cheese melted just right. Couldn't leave without trying the So' O's (Southern Fried Oreos: Absolutely indulgent! Crispy outside, gooey inside, and dusted with powdered sugar. A fun and nostalgic dessert that's worth throwing all of l the calories away for. The vibe is upbeat and Southern-chic, with quirky decor and a lively crowd of all ages and backgrounds. Service was friendly and attentive. Prices are a little high, but portions are generous. Would definitely come back--especially for brunch and those fried Oreos!

Water was dripping on us from the AC vents due to moisture buildup, which made the environment uncomfortable and unsanitary. The food was equally terrible. The crab cake had a strong fishy odor/taste and appeared undercooked - we had to send it back. The table next to us also sent the crab cake back so that's how you know it was bad. My mom and sister both ordered the State Fare Breakfast, and their meals were no better. The hash browns were raw, and the biscuit was so hard like a rock. Even after they brought replacements, the food was still poorly prepared and barely edible. I've never gone somewhere that has messed up hash browns! My dad and I ordered the birria grilled cheese, and that also did not taste good. This restaurant prioritized massive quantities of food over quality. The large size of foods led the food to not be cooked adequately. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Don't be misled by the positive reviews like I was.

Since it was cold that day, we waited near the outdoor heaters, which made the wait a bit more comfortable. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a private indoor dining room for larger groups. I'm not sure whether there's an additional fee to reserve the private room. There is plenty of seating overall, but this place is consistently busy, especially during weekend brunch. Given Houston's often extreme weather, I definitely prefer sitting indoors when possible. I almost always order the sausage and eggs over a bed of sweet potato tater tots. They are absolutely delicious! Not many restaurants serve sweet potato tater tots, so whenever I'm craving them, this is one of my go-to spots. Because of my food allergies, I asked for a side of maple syrup instead of their house sauces, and it paired surprisingly well with the tots. While their gluten free and dairy free options are somewhat limited, I was able to modify my meal by omitting the cheese. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, but the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed by how busy the restaurant was. As a result, service wasn't particularly attentive. If you visit during peak brunch hours, I would recommend coming with the expectation that the food is the highlight, while the service may be a bit slower due to the crowds.
