I ordered a trip tip sandwich with what was suppose to be sautéed mushrooms, onions when I received the sandwich it had uncooked onions and burnt mushrooms. I also got onion rings and requested ranch. Not sure when you guys decided to put onions and bacon in your ranch, but it’s definitely nasty.

Came to the establishment on November 09, 2025 at 1:30 to 2:30pm, a waitress in glasses with a goatee wearing a Derrick Carr , approached us and helped us take our orders, a table of 10, separate tabs. Then my nephew had to leave, paying his girlfriend’s meal only, then later he was handed a receipt. But then the waiter snatched it off his hands stating he would need to correct something on the receipt . When he returned, he added a gratuity tax on his tab, and it’s arranged because no where does it state that there’s a tax required at black bear or any other restaurant in our area that we need to pay for that. I’d be kind to give him one. But this really outrage me. As a citizen of Los Banos , this is ridiculous! Do your jobs kindly and not obligating for us to pay more!!

After a bad experience at a different BBD I stayed away for several years. I was pleasantly surprised how nice this one was. Good food and atmosphere along with friendly service.

Ordered the New Blu Cheese burger with homemade onion curls and fries. I how they prepare the onion curls and if they were fresh? The waitress didn’t know she guessed and said every day.The burger was ordered med and delivered to the table. It arrived with the top bun burnt,underneath was a clump of batterd masa with a sprinkle of salad bacon bits . Then the processed overcooked burger the bottom bun with a thin film of blue cheese on it . I asked the waitress what the clump was and first she said aioli spread I tapped on it (it was hard like over cooked chicken) she then said onion rings. I asked her to take it back and also address the top burnt bun . I heard her tell the cook to make another one bit returned with only a fresh top bun.

Stopped at Black Bear Diner on our way back from Yosemite and it was such a great choice. Tried the new Crispy Onion Chicken Stack and the 4-Piece Homestyle Fried Chicken both were delicious. Service was excellent, the place was clean with cozy seating, and the vibe was just right. This was my second visit (first was at another location), and once again, they did not disappoint
Sat for nearly 45 mins and they kept forgetting about us. My husband went to check on our food and they say they were going to tell the server to check on us. Not once did he come to at least give us an ETA. After 15 more minutes my husband went to pay for my daughters burger, only plate they brought, and he was told nobody knew were in the back. Makes no sense because how did my daughter get her meal though. Keep in mind they were not even busy & we ordered burgers. More than 40 minutes to make burgers is insane. First time trying or trying to try Black Bear & we get this experience.

A wonderful place with true American vibes - great service, delicious food, and very generous portions. The music adds so much to the atmosphere. I had the New York steak and it was excellent. An ideal spot for a tasty meal in a fantastic setting!

We brought my mother in law for early dinner. The diner was almost empty. I think because it was a 4 day weekend. But we enjoyed the quietness. Our food was served hot and fast. The servers were great. Thank you.
