Black Bear Diner Lake Havasu

It gets insanely busy here, and the food is okay. What stands out is the orange juice. It tastes fresh squeezed.
The service is okay.

Good food, great service!

Good food, but dring a jacket if you sit in a booth the AC can be little cold.

I ordered some country-style potatoes and all I got was burnt, tasteless potatoes.

The owners need to reread their own newspaper stories and credo!
It took hours to get our food, and we ordered 3 of the specials, corn beef and cabbage, + a chicken pot pie! So nothing difficult!
I had the chicken pot pie with a salad that I ordered before the meal, but it was served with the meal because the waitress forgot it! The pot pie was lukewarm, and the chicken wasn't cooked enough! The corn beef was way overcooked, and my buddy said it was like eating beef jerkey!
It took forever to pay our bill as we wanted to split the bill and each pay half! They didn't have anyone who could figure that out and overcharged us! First and last time eating there!
Update: They reached out to me and offered us a free dinner to try their restaurant again, except alcohol, which is fine! The food and service were much better this time around, and I would recommend them as they went above and beyond to improve upon a bad experience! Added 2 stars to my previous post!

Black bear is my go to! Love Ali, Linda, Kayla, Kim and the whole crew! Coffee is always hot and fresh- food is on point and very attentive!

A great diner, Incredible food, large portions, but what makes this place truly great is the staff. It was impressive sitting at the counter, watching them handle an absolute rush of orders with courtesy, collaboration, communication, and positivity towards their fellow servers and the cook line. The staff always checked in on me seeing if I needed anything even if they weren’t my server. They always had a smile and a pleasant hello - Whatever this place is doing is very special, highly recommend, five stars is not enough.

It is all ones because of the fact that we had been waiting to sit for 45 minutes before a manager asked one of the employees how long we had been there. Then we heard an argument insue between the manager and the employee because the employee did not mark down what time we had showed up. In fact the employee actually asked the manager why it even mattered what time we showed up. Well, I can tell you because we had to get back to Phoenix quickly and we were there as a family to see other family members that we have not seen any long time. So not knowing when we showed up means we sat for considerably longer waiting to get in then we should have. And then ultimately they just came out and said sorry we can't see you. So after waiting for an hour they simply just told us we couldn't be seated. Pretty ridiculous experience if you ask me! Absolutely ridiculous way to run a business as well

Black Bear Diner located in Lake Havasu City AZ. It was better off the Jerry's it was bfor.

We went in tonite a Friday 1/10/25 thinking their top chiefs would b at play, boy we were wrong. I ordered ribs, fries, steamed veggies, & chicken strips. The ribs were boiled tasted gross, the veggies were hard not soft, & the fries were soggy & barley warm. Just awful. The restaurant it self is filthy. The window seals r dusty as all hell, & windows need to be washed. The bottles & salt & pepper shakers r greasy, dirty, gross. The silver wear spotty, yucky. We could see the kitchen from our seat & holy shit that floor is horrible u could see all the shit under the tables, the grease puts a nasty shine & looks like hazardous slip conditions an accident waiting to happen. The hole place needs to be scrubbed from the inside out. Just gross. Our server Amber was the only great thing about the hole nite. Thank u Amber.

You need to not have delivery drivers dispatched to wait 20 to 30 minutes for virtually every order. This is a problem with all BBDs, and it is the worst place to do deliveries out of. Most drivers avoid it like the plague because of this and your food will arrive cold because of this. Do not order delivery from this restaurant!

Huge portions, great friendly staff

Came in on Christmas Eve at 7:30 hours said they close at 8:00 p.m. and I was told they were already closed because they were short a cook ridiculous to have someone tell me that as I've worked in the restaurant industry and basically that's just someone saying they wanted to go home early instead of taking a single
