    Pancake breakfast
    Nancy V.

    Food is amazing. Quantities are generous and always beautifully prepared. The bacon is killer! Service is friendly. My only gripe is it can take a minute to get a refill on coffee. The pot should never stop moving during breakfast!

    Service was excellent but I was there 45 mins before closing but with 3 tables seating. The restaurant is nicely decorated and you can see the family love, feels like your grandma's house. And as well as clean. Ordered my all time favorite bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast. It was served piping hot, never had I had "hot" toast. Eggs were fresh and thick bacon. Only downside was the potatoes seemed deep fried and bland. Other than that I would return for another meal.

    Great spot for breakfast - greasy spoon type with really yummy food. Friendly service and attentive that kept our coffee cups full. Highly recommend the chilaquiles verde - they were excellent. Inside is a bit small, so it can get tight during meal hours and you may have to wait, but they seem to turn tables over relatively quickly. Worth the stop.

    Ranch omelet - bacon, bell peppers, cheese, sour cream - so good with some hot sauce!!

    Adorable little place with delicious food. We usually get the ranch omelet and the chilaquiles - both are always delicious. The service is always fast & friendly too - the pricing is expectable and reasonable. Great spot for a Sunday breakfast / brunch - just don't wait too late, they are only open until 1 or 2 :)

    Excellent. Perfect over medium eggs. Perfect bacon.

    Great little place with excellent menu. My eggs, bacon and sausage all perfect. Corned beef hash also tasty. Great atmosphere.

    Perfectly cooked cheesy omelette

    I mean, it is what it is......True Americana. A tiny diner on a beaten road that provides no frills, stick to your ribs, bad for you yet delicious breakfast foods. It is almost shanty-sized, with a few tables and booths, and a bathroom that looks like a household bathroom, as opposed to a restaurant restroom (including the bottle of windex). There was only one server at the beginning of a Sunday morning, but it was pretty chill, so it made sense. As the restaurant is small, that is all is needed, and all of my needs were met. The server was nice, but not overly, and the ambiance of a quiet, neighborhood Sunday spot was complete. I was impressed with the cheese omelette. Yes.....a plain, cheese omelette. It was mixed perfectly. I am a stickler in that I hate big white spots scattered throughout my omelette or scrambled eggs, which shows that they just splatter the eggs on the grill and mix it then, and its.....well, gross. This omelette was nit rubbery, yellow, and packed with cheese. The pancake was served with oodles of butter, and, as I rarely eat pancakes, to induge in every way possible is the way to go when gorging on breakfast. The only down note, and not holding them to task too much, but their soda's carbonation was out. Rest assured, I will be finding a diet coke somewhere soon. As I did not sleep well, I got here pretty early. It is a small location, and though empty for me, around 9:00 am cars started pulling up. Overall, great breakfast

    Country fried steak breakfast with eggs over medium, hashbrowns, and wheat toast.

    I've driven by this place for years, and finally got an opportunity to try it out on an early Sunday morning. The diner itself is tiny, and I imagine that later in the morning it would be packed, but I had no issue parking right in front and getting my choice of seat. I noticed a lot of solo diners, and being one myself I felt in good company. Once I sat down the friendly waitress immediately went to my table to ask about drinks, and in the short time it took her to grab my iced tea I was ready to order. The menu isn't massive, but if you're looking for a solid traditional American-style breakfast you'll have many options depending on the size of your appetite. I went with the country fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns. For a sleepy Sunday morning, the ambiance was perfect: quiet country music playing in the background, rustic signs and art work on every inch of the walls, and quiet conversation. I noticed there seemed to be a lot of working men coming in before their shifts or grabbing to-go orders in their uniforms, and regulars who knew their order as soon as they sat down. In a breakfast place I think that kind of clientele says a lot: fast service, good food, good prices. And I can say all my expectations were met. My food came out quickly and everything was cooked exactly as I wanted. The country gravy was really, really delicious. Maybe the best I've had? It had a kind of zingyness that made it feel a little lighter and less cloying on the tongue. I overheard a lot of people getting the Ranch breakfast with biscuits and gravy and I want to try that next time. The portions aren't massive, but I think they are fair for the price. Sometimes you don't want to have to take home leftovers and just want to pay for what you can eat in one sitting (I also imagine that the portions are optimized for those working folks who just want to eat and go to work without worrying about doggy bags or food waste). And the waitress offered me three refills of their clear and clean-tasting iced tea. When I was ready to leave, all I had to do was get up and pay. I think I was in and out in about 45 minutes and I never once felt rushed. Ranch kitchen is a little gem. It's the perfect place to go when you want a solid breakfast but also want to get on with the rest of your day. I can't wait to go back to try out those biscuits and their delicious gravy!

    Enter to a place of a time past!

I chose to have the sandwich remade with bacon and they then proceed to tell me they have no more English muffins to do that. So, we just added the bacon to the premade breakfast sandwich. To top it off, I had ordered an iced tea and when I went back in to ask, if I could get a refill, they said sure, as long as you pay again as we charge full price for refills!!! Who in the hell charges $3-4 dollars for every refill of iced tea? Not that I would be coming back here because I am simply passing through town, but based on this experience, even if I lived in the area, I would never come back to this place. By the way, it was a one star experience, but I gave two stars for the outdoor patio as it is an enjoyable place to sit and dine if you can actually get what you ordered.

    I was trying to think of the perfect place to meet up with my mom, sister, daughter, niece, and…read moregranddaughters... a place where everyone could get something they like and where a group like this would be welcome. Black Bear Diner came to mind immediately. When we all arrived, we entered and were warmly welcomed and seated quickly. The menu offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day! Something for everyone. And the food was really good. What was also really good was the service. The vibe in the place is so fun, too, what with the forest and bear motif carried throughout the whole restaurant. The team working here did everything possible to make our experience positive. I would definitely recommend this Black Bear Diner to anyone looking for a spot that's great for kids, teens, adults, and seniors! I'll be back.

These hash browns are nice and crispy on the top and soft and potatoey underneath. These hash browns are on the thicker side, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. The rest of the food experience at Black Bear was also good. The eggs were cooked correctly to my order of medium well and the portions here are more generous than other diners in the area. If you're a fan of thicker cut bacon, Black Bear is the place for you. I'm more of a thin and crispy bacon guy, but if you like a girthier slice of bacon, then Black Bear has got you covered. On the sweeter end of the breakfast spectrum, the waffles and pancakes were on par with what I would expect from a diner in town. The waffle is a bit more crispy and thin than you'd expect, but the inside still had a nice softness to it. The pancakes are hearty and will fill you up. It would have been nice if they were a little fluffier and had even more chocolate chips in it (in the case of the chocolate chip pancake). The ambiance in the restaurant is pure Black Bear. There are black bears all over the place and the decor is very woody - like the diner was found in the middle of a forest somewhere. Service was adequate. Overall Black Bear Diner is a solid choice for breakfast or lunch in the town of Woodland. It's comparable to the other morning diners. If coming for dinner, you'll have to go with another review!
