Black Bear Diner Chico offers a friendly atmosphere and helpful service, making it a favorite spot for many. The diner serves good value meals, including burgers and a variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests can enjoy delicious treats like huckleberry shakes and large portions at an adorable price. While the food is enjoyable, customers have noted that it can take a long time to see their food, sometimes over 30 minutes, especially during busy times. The staff has improved since the ownership changed, and the service now feels more attentive, with check-ins during meals and efforts to ensure guests get what they need. The restaurant features a fun touch with a bell by the front door that customers ring when they receive good service, which keeps the staff energized. Some customers mentioned that wait times and staffing can still be issues, and cleanliness in seating areas and the dryness of certain dishes like prime ribs have been noted. Despite these challenges, many visitors appreciate the consistent quality of the meals, the friendly staff, and the welcoming atmosphere, making it a great choice for gatherings or cozy breakfasts.
