Black Bear Diner is always my go to when I'm coming back home from a long road trip! Delicious food and big portions are always a great way to start my morning commute back. This location however disappointed ?I ordered the usual Country Fried Steak which was good, but the onion rings seemed old and stale. No taste at all!Steamed Vegetables somehow managed to be flavorless.Our other tray was a chopped steak and egg and the meat was so dry! Not edible at all, we ended up leaving without even finishing half of our food. The country potatoes that came with it were definitely not boiled enough.The waiter was very friendly and prompt though! Only reason it's not a 1 star review.

Service is Amazing and so quickly seated. Our Server Javier was so attentive and made our Experience more successful. Food was perfect and so tasty. We enjoyed our time at Black Bear Diner and now have a FAVORITE PLACE to add to our list of Places we will frequently dine at. Portions are very large and prices are awesome. See you next time.

Always tasty and good friendly service

I’ve eaten at a lot of Black Bear dinners all over the state and Arizona. My meals have always been great with professional waitstaff. Wherever you’re at if there is a BBD, you can bet they are a staple in that community. Employees are always friendly, nice and professional, food is always exceptional. If only other restaurants could follow BBD strategy, they would be better off.I had the Volcano ? breakfast, it was excellent. Andre, was my server, he did a great job.Hats off to the management you guys really have “ understood the assignment!”

We showed up around 7 in the evening we ordered breakfast and lunch the restaurant itself was quiet not very many people that day it was a Thursday night. However my waiters seem to be not in a happy mood straightforward food was excellent are waffles were amazing our French toast was super delicious and our burgers were incredible.

The staff is always friendly there. I never have a bad time. they're very attentive. My husband always tells me that the fried chicken. He says it is the best there so I went there late one night and of course they were out of the fried chicken. But other than that everything was great I would have gave them five stars if they would have had the fried chicken for me.

Our server was amazing he new how to bring on the positive atmosphere and took care of us even though they were super busy he took care of our hole table and the rest of his table amazing service great food and amazing atmosphere love it will go back
