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.

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!”

Went in the morning during a weekday it was busy but no wait to be seated. Hostess was attentive. Portions are massive, food was good. Had to send it back to be reheated though. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner all day.

GREAT PLACE STOP AND EAT BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER. PLATES ARE HUGE LOTS OF FOOD TO SHARE. NICE SERVICE CLEAN RESTROOMS. FOOD IS DELICIOUS.

Staff was friendly. We ordered a danish as an appetizer, very good. I had a waffle breakfast. It was cooked great; Crispy outside and soft insides. Definitely a great experience

Our server Ashley did a wonderful job! It's memorial day weekend so it's extremely busy, and still she provided flawless service with a smile so big her mask could not hide it. It was very enjoyed experience!

wow! I am happy to know this beautiful place, eating here is like eating at mom's house. the attention is good, the food delicious and all the decoration is incredibly beautiful. I would return a thousand times more.

Yum! This place are packed Sunday morning. Good comfort food.

Oh i missed this place. Cozy, cool vibes, IMO best breakfast chain in California. I wish they would be available in other states. Very big portions, i managed to eat half.

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.

Stopped to eat at this diner last Friday, took a rode trip to drop our grandson off to college. Very disappointed with the service, rude staff and food. Although breakfast looked good in the pictures it wasn’t so good🙁 We wont be eating here again, on our way back we ate at the Wendy’s across the highway! Yummy😋

Fantastic place to enjoy breakfast and lunch! We were greeted by our friendly waitresses, Raj, when we walked in. She accommodated our group of 6 and provided exceptional customer service! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with suggestions. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great. They even have a little area by the register with gifts and souvenirs. Highly recommend this place!

The nicest Black Bear Restaurant I ever been to.the Christmas decorations were done by an employee with great decorations talent..Very friendly customer service employees..lots of nice things to buy for your children and your self,and home .

This place was pretty bad. The burger was good apparently. The fries were decent as well, according to my fiance. The eggs Benedict was super plain. The sauce was nothing special and very very skimpy for everything on it. I didn't even taste it really. From what I got on the knife was so plain. It just tasted like egg and butter, nothing to acidify the taste or make it special. The hashbrowns are an atrocity to cuisine. Do you see how thickly they shred them? Yeah... that makes for big, chewy bites on the surface and overly soft in the middle. Gross..the English muffin was not even warmed. It was so dry.

Only order their country fried steak cause this is pretty much the only place in Bakersfield where i actually like them.. tender, good flavor, not too much breading & great country gravy! So the five stars is for their country fried steak & country potatoes.

The waitress was great not her fault the kitchen sucks! It really has gone downhill. This is the third time I go in and they don’t measure up to their own standards! Ordered THE GRIZZ this is their flagship breakfast BTW. What they served up should have never left their kitchen they gave me 2 eggs 1.5sausage and a burnt piece of ham I was disappointed upset, and my appetite disappeared! It’s suppose to be 3 eggs 2 sausages 2 Bacons and a piece of ham. What they served up is in the picture below 👇

Ashley was the best waitress we've ever had. She was so kind & got our order perfect! I will ask for her every time !! I love black Bear Diner too!

Brian went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Thank you very much.

Went and saw a movie at the theater near by, saw this place while leaving and decided to give it a try. Glad i did. The inside was pretty cool, tiki kinda theme. Lots of tables and booths to sit at. Food was really good, i got a burger and fries. Food was prepared in timely manner. Staff was friendly and engaging. Restaurant looked clean and restrooms were as well. Would definitely recommend this place and will be back again myself.

Our server Ismael was very attentive and checked with us often to be sure we had everything we needed. The store is clean and the workers are very nice. The food portions are good and tasted amazing. We will definitely make this our regular spot to eat.

We went here for dinner tonight and the food was awesome! Our server Brenda was amazing! She made us feel right at home! She is the best! If you go to black Bear ask for Brenda and tell her Wayne sent you!

The food is always good and the customer service is great. I got French toast today. It was very delicious.

Really cool diner with interesting decor. The food was in great portions and tasted great. Denver omelette, breakfast burrito and pancakes all hit the spot! Our server was very friendly and patient while we tried to navigate through the extensive menu.

The food was great and fairly priced but what made it special was the staff. I had 3/4 waiters taking care of me. The vibe was very positive. I will definitely be back!

We had an excellent family brunch. Coffee ☕ was fresh and hot, just the way I like it! My son was happy with his pancakes 🥞. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I hope to be back soon!

Been here a couple of times and the service has been great every time. Usually I'm meeting family since it is the halfway point between Vegas and Sacramento and we always choose this place because we know that this place treats their patrons right. If you haven't been to a black bear yet, this is a great place to try it.

I ordered the Steak 🥩 and eggs 🍳 it comes with 3 eggs and they only served 2 I had to tell the waitress about the third egg and my hash browns were burnt and hard my steak was a little cold as you can see in the picture we had two orders that had hash browns one was good and mine was burnt and two weeks ago we came here to eat and it was about the same missing eggs and no toast all bad I think I'll stick with Denny's or up south by the Grape Vine to the other Black Bear Dinner I've ate there like 20 time's and I've never had a issue with the food or serve Thank You 1/8/2022 3:33pmon Saturday
