“We went this evening to be so disappointed. Normally order Fish n Chips unfortunately they changed their brand and most of all Quality. If I wanted a Gortons Fish Fillet with minced fish meat then I would of bought a box from super Market and served those with Oreidas fries at home. Usually they serve nice pieces of Cod. Always in the past been Good. Tonight's Quality and Quantity was lack there of. $18.50 for 1 Piece of minced Fish and my husband had literally 16 bits and pieces of French fry on his plate. He was still hungry when we left. According to waitress there have been several complaints so I'm glad we aren't only customers to complain. Waitress took our Dinner off Bill we paid for our beverages and tipped her nicely because it's not her fault. Word to the Owner: In this economy when people want to dine out and come to spend their hard earned money on a nice meal Don't Cut Corners on your Quality of Food. Otherwise you will find customers will make other dining choices and boycott your business and eventually your business will suffer. We won't be back anytime soon. We DON'T recommend the Fish n Chips“

“Come here hungry and you’re treated right. Big portions. Friendly service. No one cares about your GPA — just whether your coffee’s full. Black Bear Diner is built on something UC Davis lost a long time ago: common sense, warmth, and value.

UC Davis, on the other hand, is one of the most aggressively marketed schools on the West Coast. The branding is slick — sustainability, innovation, diversity — but once you're in, the story changes. The reality? A bureaucratic machine that too often punishes ambition. If you’re independent, outspoken, or too smart, you’ll learn fast: you're not being nurtured — you’re being contained.

Professors may block your growth, and TAs might treat you like a problem instead of a peer. It’s a campus that values compliance over creativity. Worse? The numbers back it up. According to U.S. News, the median salary after 10 years of enrolling is only $54K — which is shocking considering the cost and reputation they try to sell. The return on investment is low, especially for a school that acts like it’s top-tier Ivy-adjacent.

The truth is: UC Davis is a decent school for average students who stay in line. But if you're bright, driven, and thinking independently? It’ll either ignore you or try to fix you.

Five stars to Black Bear Diner — for honesty, value, and delivering what it promises. Davis might have the college, but this diner is the real institution in town“

A little hard to find parking for the huge suburban we were driving but overall a good experience. Just a little hot in the back area where you shoot darts but prob because close to kitchen“
