Ordered "The Griz" for delivery. First off it's an insane amount of food but still kinda steep for the price of breakfast food. The pancakes were pretty good. The hash browns & eggs were super bland. Other than that it was awesome! read more

Very good. Large portions. Attentive server. Green beans are so well seasoned. Yummy! Highly recommend read more

I went to Black Bear Cafe with my boyfriend my girlfriend and her husband the food was amazing but the service was not that great the waitress was a little rude had our food sitting under the heating lamp for like an hour did not refill our drinks and kept giving us dirty looks read more

Decided tonight to give Black Bear Diner a try. I'll be honest if we didn't have such an amazing waitress I think we would have got up, new kitchen staff which I understand some people don't care. But it took almost 45 minutes to be served. The bacon cheddar burger was okay. The fries were soggy but again the waitress was so apologetic. Ashley B!! You are the best. Your sunshiney personality made the wait entertaining and fun. You have a wonderful smile and great sense of humor. We also got the catfish, Friday night special, not our thing. Quality and temperature meh. Ashley was very attentive the whole time and so apologetic for the wait. Again thanks to her personality we hung in there. I did ask to talk to the manager Ashley F. I felt like they food could totally be improved but the service was amazing. I'm sure it's due to new kitchen staff and a off night. We will be back next time we come to town. But I must have Ashley B!! read more

Food is only okay at best. Service lacks. Gave it a second try. Food is still only okay. Service still lacks. Menu is cool though!! read more

First time to visit this establishment. We had other items as well including breakfast. I have to say, breakfast was very good. My Parm burger and my sons BBQ burger unfortunately was nothing special. It wasn't bad but it wasn't outstanding either. Not a bad place but won't be one of our first choices next time. read more

Black Bear Diner Tulsa - Parmesan an Sourdough Cheeseburger* (1010 cals.) - Diners Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Paid $23 for the prime rib and it was absolutely destroyed. It was over done, burnt, and tough like leather. I've never seen a prime rib cooked that badly in my life. I hate leaving bad reviews, but don't waste your money (on the prime rib, at least). The sever was absolutely great, but food quality matters. The location I've been to in the past in Colorado Springs is WAY better. The owner should be aware of the difference in quality from location to location. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Black Bear. It was close to our hotel and we were very glad we made the choice to try their food. I had a veggie omelet - it was absolutely the best - with a pancake - delicious also. Hubble had waffle, ham and eggs and enjoyed - said h was delicious. The orange juice is fresh squeezed and really so delicious. Service was a little slow but in our culture today we know everyone is short handed so we allow for that. I give it a 5 star read more

The overall quality of service was mediocre. I could have gone out and got better food for cheaper read more

Slow service. Husbands eggs had to be recooked since 1st try was hard. It was not busy at the time of our visit. .

Horrible customer service. Yesterday I went and I ordered "The Grizz" and I asked the server if I could get my French toast after my meal so it wouldn't get cold and she went to go tell the cook how she was annoyed about me requesting that, she was talking so loud that the whole diner could hear her and she was constantly making gestures about how bothered she was by my simple request, we decided to leave before we got our food. On our way out I let the cashiers know and all they said was "oh kay sorry". Super disappointed because this is the only Black Bear in Tulsa and I love the food but the customer service ruined it for me. read more

Finally found the breakfast place I've been looking for. Even though they were busy with the after church rush, I was seated immediately. Then again, I was just a party of one. The corned beef was shredded into the hash. Very good. Excellent attention paid to my coffee cup. read more

I would give 5 stars for the food and for our original server Ryla because both were amazing, but she had to leave after our food arrived. The server our table got switched to is why I'm giving 3 stars. We came to Black Bear Diner on a Sunday at 4 PM. There was a wait, but it wasn't too long - 5 or 10 minutes. Host staff were welcoming and friendly, which is always a nice start! I had the prime rib and it was beyond delicious. Very huge portions, even the sides. My mom had a steak and it was really good as well. Both were cooked the way we asked. Our server was Ryla and she did a great job, was very attentive, and was sweet and friendly. However, she was leaving right as our food arrived and so our table was given to another girl but I can't remember her name. She was very short, very rude, and had a major attitude! You could definitely tell she did not want to be there. We mentioned it to a manager and received an apology and that was that. Overall I would say the food was great, portions are generous for the price, and most of the staff seemed friendly, welcoming, and seem to enjoy themselves at work. We will be back to give it another shot! read more

Came here for lunch, not too busy, people only sitting in the outer U portion, no one seated in center of restaurant. Stood for a pretty long time waiting to be seated and since no one acknowledged me, went ahead and seated myself. Waitress let me know that that's not how it works in a very loud voice so other patrons could hear, so asked for manager who seated me at another location. I'm over 60 years old and don't really feel I need to be reprimanded for going ahead and taking a seat when I was just ignored. You work for tips, right? read more

Not very friendly. The staff had a bad attitude they had absolutely no enthusiasm about doing their job any attempt at being cordial seemed forced and insincere. Would not make an omelette that was not on the menu. The one I ordered it was supposed to have mushroom cheese and avocado the mushrooms were cold and slimy straight out of the can I don't think they even bothered to drain them. The avocado was too thin slices on top of the omelette more of a garnish than an ingredient. The hash browns were the only decent thing that they served. Pancakes for undercooked and doughy they had the consistency of wallpaper paste the butter must come straight out of the freezer it was hard as a rock. I will not be coming back to this restaurant read more

We have been here several times but the last time was probably our last time. We both ordered the tri tip. We had ordered the sandwich on previous visits but decided on the dinner this time. I have old shoes that are more tender than the junk we were served. It was so bad one of the other customers stopped on his way out to let me know he felt sorry for me. He had seen me sawing on a small piece of meat with a steak knife and being unable to cut it. My wife and I both managed to eat 1 of 4 pieces served and left the rest there. I understand that a restaurant can have a problem at times but they usually make some effort to compensate. We mentioned our problem to our waitress, the cashier and latter on facebook. Here is there response, a free desert would have gone a long way to keeping me as a customer. It would have also kept us from having to eat as soon as we got home. Black Bear Diner. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding your recent visit. We strive to deliver great meals with tremendous service, and it sounds like we let you down. Your concerns will be addressed, and we thank you for your feedback. read more

Fabulous food, great service, and staff doesn't pack you in like sardines like other restaurants do. Which I appreciated long before social distance was an issue. I've never had a bad experience here. read more

Went here twice for breakfast and both times it was sub par.. The shredded hashbrowns were burnt the first time we went so the next time I got the Country red potatoes.. Well they weren't red, they were last nights left over baked potatoes.. The first time I got over easy eggs and they were over hard, sent them back and they were still over hard.. The next time I got the classic eggs Benedict and those eggs were hard boiled, sent them back and they came back still hard boiled.. My daughters eggs Benedict had a half an egg shell on the bottom.. The food wasn't good either time we went so there won't be a return trip.. Don't waste your money here, you will be disappointed. read more

Enjoyed our breakfast. Hope to return to try lunch and dinner options. Wait staff was excellent

Cold hashbrowns not cooked, burnt toast. We walked out. Server just smiled. Really these days when it is 15 bucks to eat out.

We wanted to try this place for a while, but it's been packed. We dropped by Saturday afternoon when it looked fairly open while we were shopping at the mall. We were seated quickly, but it took forever for wait staff to come by and take our order for drinks. When we were approached by a waitress we said we were ready to order everything. She had other ideas and told us; no, she wasn't our waitress and was just helping by getting our drinks. She would be along shortly. 10 minutes and no drinks yet. Our waitress shows up reaking of smoke and wants to take our drink order. Once again we ask to give our order and while we are going through our order drinks arrive. The food arrived very quickly once we ordered and the quantity was amazing. Huge portions. The muffins were great, stuffing and potatoes and gravy were good. All of our meat courses. Fish, chicken, and prime rib were way overcooked. Fish was dry (not flaky dry, hard rubber dry), prime rib was not med rare; it was well done. Chicken was okay, but not juicy. Quantity does not make up for service and quality. read more

Promised a job. Haven't heard anything for weeks. I have a child. I can't even call to find out what's going on. Unbelievable.

We came in, and got seated immediately. When brought to our area, we were given the option of a booth or table. (Plus points) We chose the booth, and when we went to it, the waitress first had to wipe salt off the seat..."Sorry, obviously whoever was filling the shakers missed". No biggy, other than that it seems clean. Our waitress brought our drinks, and we told her we needed a minute to make up our mind on the order. Over 5 minutes later, she finally came back to get the order. We then waited over 15 minutes for the food to arrive! We had ordered the "lite side" (biscuit with country gravy, 2 strips of bacon), blackberry stuffed French toast(bear claw french toast) and the breakfast burrito. The stuffed french toast was supposed to come with fruit, it didn't. The burrito with salsa and sour cream, not with it either. After another 5 minutes, the waitress came over, apologized and went to get the stuff for us. The food itself was good, though the bacon was burnt to a crisp. The waitress was attentive to our drinks, and very receptive when issues arose. The establishment only gets 3 stars because of the wait time and quality of the food. The staff's courteousness and attentiveness was a 5. read more

Well it's not that great. The chicken fried steak was poor. My wife was hoping to eat something gluten free. Don't bother going here if you need that option. I went about 3 months ago. read more

This place is a just "D" grade, and then the service folks aren't excellent service, disappoint. They gave us more 45 minutes before it closed by 10 PM, and I ordered a burger, but it didn't taste burnt and no flavor... read more

Came in with some friends to have a quick lunch and although the restaurant was full, Dani came to the rescue and gave us attention like we were the only customers in her section! She catered to our every need and was very prompt with refills and answering questions we had about the menu choices- will be going back when in the area, thank you Dani! read more

We have eaten here twice and my husband loves the pot roast and bread options. The house salad is worth mentioning and the desserts taste homemade. Good place to take the whole family. read more

We ate here a few months ago. The menu is huge. The service was friendly when we came in and everything came to the table super quickly, but my husband's burger was ice cold and it was wrong. My chicken fried steak tasted like old grease. We sent it back and it was fixed, but it was still just a not great meal. My veggies were obviously from frozen. The salad was not super fresh. I think this bear was trying to tell us something. read more

The food taste per-made except for breakfasts , dinner was horrible,lunch was horrible . They fill you up on corn biscuits and Hope you don't see how bad your meal is. read more

Really not good breakfast. Raw hash browns. Flavorless sausage grave from a mix or can. So many better choices around town. Avoid

My first impression was that their offerings are the west coast version of diner food/homecookin', which unfortunately falls flat in this part of the country. if they tried a little harder they could conceivably win me back over. But where they are lacking is in the details and this is Oklahoma, where we are already very set in our ways with our preferred southern comfort food. To sum it up, the Black Bear Diner in Owasso was mediocre at best. To make some small comparisons, a waffle from the Waffle House puts theirs to shame. Their large (small for normal standards) glass of orange juice was $5.00/plus tax. (The same for a gallon of juice at the store.) The service was lacking, (which is somewhat normal for the Owasso restaurant scene), and yet too overstaffed. The music was way too loud, blaring actually, and again a California play list and hokey atmosphere that didn't mesh with the local culture of Oklahoma. If you're going to venture out into new territory, try to do your research Black Bear Diner. Serve us what we are used to eating, and not what the weirdos in California eat. This is basically considered the south, where we ALREADY know whats good, and our portion sizes are even larger than you describe yours as. Either conform to regional preferences/expectations, or you won't last here in this market. None the less, it's one and done for me. If you are reading this review before actually trying it for your first time, maybe think about going somewhere else. PS- Us Okies also don't use ice burg lettuce to garnish our breakfast plates so please cut that out and save if for a salad. read more

We love the food and service here! I had eggs Benedict and my husband had the hamburger salad. We loved the food. We will be coming back again. I also thought the little newsletter they had was fun too! read more

Not our usual kind of place-- but it fit a few important-at-the-time criteria: it was close to our hotel, it wasn't a chain we were familiar with, it was kid-friendly, and there was no wait! We went in with zero expectations so we were pleasantly surprised! Service was good, food was good and portions were oversized for sure. Everyone was incredibly personable and friendly. The kids had pancakes, the hubs had eggs and I had a very good turkey club. All in all, it was a solid experience-- I'd try it again! read more

It took 10 minutes to get us seated on a slow day and our server was slow and brought food to our 6 year old last. Children are the most impatient when it comes getting their food. Speaking of food it was Luke warm at best and my wife had a steak cooked medium and it was so dry that you could tell that they squeezed the juice out of it. We got to dessert and all I can say is don't bother the pies are not that good and the bread pudding was horrible. Don't bother with place read more

Great Service but food was just okay. As a FYI, they do not make the chicken fried steak in-house. It comes frozen in a box and is reminiscent of the school lunch version. read more

Food was good, large portions, but a bit pricy for some breakfast options. It was just Ok, nothing extraordinary

Had a patty melt with a cup of clam chowder. Clam chowder was "ok" but would NOT recommend the patty melt. It was very grease and had little to no taste (couldn't even really taste the melted cheese which is concerning). My friend got the turkey sandwich which she said was pretty good. Staff was friendly but we both decided it wasn't a place we would revisit. read more

This is the second time I've been here and, shockingly, not as good as the first time. Last time I ordered something like a breakfast croissant sandwich but I couldn't find it on the menu (which was disappointing bc I really enjoyed it!) I liked the paper menus but mine had rips in it. I figured they would have been switched out, but it's possible this was over looked. S I ordered the Bob's big burger (or something similar), and it was... good?! I had to cut it in half just to eat it (I'm a small person though) and the amount of fries was definitely proportionate to the burger! I went with 3 friends - one got the chicken fried steak, one got the "little less" pot roast, and the third got the chicken parmigian. All the plates were massive, came out together/on time, and were hot! Some vegetables seemed to be under seasoned on their plates and we didnt understand the orange garnish on our plates. I also ordered the triple chocolate sundae brownie. It was also huge! Had to take it home since it was too sweet/massive to finish. Service was mostly prompt, although our waitress disappeared twice when we were in need of refills and was not seen again after she dropped off our checks. I would try it once more, but it was disappointing given the price point. read more

Busy. Long wait. Looks understaffed. Empty tables. I do not see management on the floor.

My family and I went into Black Bear Diner in South Tulsa tonight for their VIP opening. They don't actually open until Monday September 10th. Our Service was outstanding, our food, even better!! I ordered the chicken pesto pasta, the portions are HUGE and delicious! I would recommend again and again! read more
