Black Bear Diner feels like a cozy cave for bears—and I proudly count myself as one 🐻. I stopped in on a cold Chico day while feeling under the weather, and that warm bowl of chicken noodle soup truly did the trick. It came with bread, garlic bread, and a side of lightly buttered broccoli—simple, comforting, and exactly what I needed. I honestly think it kept me from getting sick.
Big shout-out to Chris, my waiter—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. We even chatted about scary movies (he’s not a fan… I absolutely am 😄). That kind of personal touch makes all the difference.
I’ll definitely be back. This bear found a warm, comforting den. 🐻🍲

We used to love this place. Chris is a terrible server with TERRIBLE ATTITUDE. Farmer’s Skillet is way better for anyone considering black bear.
So much went wrong and with chris’ attitude it was an overstimulating stay.

I’ve tried this place twice, both times have been bad. First time, our order was wrong multiple times and the service was slow. They had just opened and I figured they were still figuring things out. Second time, walked in at 1:00pm on a Tuesday for lunch, there was only one staff member hosting and serving. The restaurant was fairly full for a weekday, and there were clearly asking the server to order because they had been waiting awhile. Not the server’s fault, but I’m shocked they didn’t have multiple staff members, or a manager on site, or someone to help him. He seemed completely overwhelmed, we probably won’t be going back any time soon.

Sat 2 of us within 5 minutes of entering, and hostess was nice, and brought 2 cups coffee as requested. As we wait our turn to order and drink our coffee gone, the table next overtalks about their wait being extensive as they were there before we were. 25 minutes in we have empty cups, and 3 tables looking around for the wait person to never talk to them. The table about 15 feet away DID receive an order, though it was not theirs and had to be taken back. After 35 minutes we left your establishment, and paid for the $8 coffee on the way out. We only ever interacted with your hostess. She was pleasant. The expectation was measured at the next restaurant we went and sat at, had our order taken in 15 minutes and we were served in 30.
Food was good but the atmosphere was something else ! Went in for lunch got something more! In middle of my lunch I heard someone yelling very loudly! I couldn’t enjoy my lunch !
