“Today was my first visit and I can only say positive things about this restaurant. I reside in Stockton but I'm a Bay Area native. It was nice coming to the clean city and seeing people not depressed. My daughter who lives in Berkeley and my son who lives in San Leandro were with me. Great place good food clean and a friendly staff. No homeless tents meth heads or fentanyl users on the streets or in the park..today was a great day“
“Walked in & waited in line about 5 mins to place a to-go order. Waited about 10 mins or so for my order to be ready. Breakfast Sammie & Press Sub were both delicious. Had a Graham Cracker Latte while waiting for my order...very tasty. Staff were friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. Definitely will be returning to try more.“
“This is an underappreciated downtown, Pleasanton restaurant. I like everything about it, including the attentive staff, the food choices and service, and even the three vegetarian choices (three times as many as I usually get in downtown Pleasanton restaurants!). Definitely recommend.“
“One of our family's top places to eat. The kids love it too. Good quality food, at a great price.We came here after going to Denny's where the weight was very long. Black Bear diner is very efficient, and they really understand logistics and how to take care of customers. We were seated very quickly, our order was taken very quickly, our food came out probably in about 5 or 6 minutes. They were well staffed, everyone was always very happy to help everyone.Black Bear diner never seems to disappoint, it's always a pleasure to have very happy, energetic servers.Kid-friendliness: They have awesome options for kids. You can get ice cream at the end as well.“
“My colleagues and I were in town for work. Short walk from the Hyatt. Perfect pub atmosphere with warm fireplaces and lots of TV's. Food was delicious and even got to meet the owners! Tom and Debbie are so sweet. Took the time to get to know us and we got to know them. As Hoosier, I had to get Debbie's famous tenderloin and it did not disappoint. They also have trivia and karaoke during the week. Perfect spot for food and entertainment. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!“
“Food is okay. Service is fast and rushed which is okay if you're here for quick in-out meal. We were there as group, almost no time to settle in or enjoy a drink or finish the appetizers, main menu served already. Menu price is reasonable.“
“I never understood the decision of Denny's by comics.It's NOT luxury dining! But it's clean, with good food, good service, good prices, ubiquitous about the country, senior discounts, etc. Every time I go im pleasantly surprised by taste, value, cleanliness of bathrooms, friendliness of servers. I support and appreciate it. Highly recommended.“
“Went for the first time last night. There's no signage for seating or service, which is confusing for a first-timer. Nobody greeted us at the door or from the bar, so we found a table, and the couple next to us were just as confused. FYI, You DO seat yourself, but there is a server that takes your order and brings you your food. The bartender/ waitress was great and friendly! The atmosphere is nice, especially for watching sports. It feels like there are just as many tvs as tables in the place, but it's not too loud. Overall, I'd come again and recommend to anyone looking for some decent food, drinks, and sports.“
“I ordered to go. Bartender was friendly and drink while I waited was excellent. Food arrived quickly and when I brought it home both my wife and I thought it was very tasty, to the extent that she wanted their brunch for her upcoming birthday. I suppose my only issue is that it is a bit expensive.“
“I gotta tell you about this awesome place I went to recently. They serve the most amazing cheeseburgers! Like, seriously, my taste buds were doing a happy dance.The burger was just perfect - the patty was super juicy and had this awesome flavor, and the cheese was all melty and delicious. The bun was just right, not too much, not too little – just the perfect balance.But it's not just about the food. The people there were top-notch. From the moment I walked in, they were super friendly and made me feel right at home. They knew their stuff too – gave great recommendations and answered all my questions with a smile.The whole vibe of the place was nice and cozy. It was clean, and you could tell they cared about making the place nice for customers.So, if you're looking for an amazing cheeseburger and a place where the people are cool and professional, you've gotta check this spot out. It's like the perfect combo of great food and awesome service.“
“Food is good and the prices are okay - maybe on the higher end. Our table was the second group sat for dinner and by the time we were able to give our order the restaurant was half full so there was a wait from the kitchen. Our waiter also seemed to be out of sight when needed to come by for soda refills or a second round from the bar even though we were sitting next to it. A lost opportunity for the bartender but oh well. May come back for lunch when there is a smaller crowd.“
“Wow - I booked a business event here and I could not recommend Rubys and Roses more. Sadaf ( owner ) made everything so easy and made sure everything was smooth sailing the day of. The staff was incredible and provided an upscale experience that would not be forgotten. You are probably wondering about the food. Incredible, this turned my event from great to absolutely amazing. My clients are still talking about it and thanking me but the thanks belongs to the team at Rubys & Roses. I came back for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner and was blown away by the attention to detail. This place is a must visit - especially if you want to treat your special someone.“
“We had a special anniversary reservation and were excited to try the place. When we arrived, a lady at our table (having been asked to vacate) was having a rant about being seated ten mins late. She was very rude to staff, but as we weren't seated til five mins late, and then we weren't given menus for ten minutes we could sort of understand her sentiment. We asked a (very helpful) member of staff about one of the plates, and then ordered as he was there and we were aware our slot was ticking on.The food and wines were lovely, really well paired. It made us laugh that the chorizo was paired with the same wine as the vegan cheese but like magic it went very well with both. You can't have a vegetarian cheese with the vegan plate and they don't do a vegetarian plate but the vegan cheese was actually very good.We ordered a sparkling flight and the deserts with wine and they took so long we were asked to move to a really tight seat at the bar.Still 4* as the food, wine and experience is clearly amazing and the staff when you can catch them are really knowledgeable. However, the service is wonky as people who arrived after us were seated, given menus and served a lot faster than us so could enjoy their whole meal without being moved.The restaurant is also small and therefore loud, a woman with a very squally voice literally monologued for their whole slot which overlapped ours. There was a small break when a saint of a woman asked her to quieten down but for the whole of the rest of the meal we could clearly hear her reviews of airfryers and charity auctions. It was a shame that staff didn't intervene as she was clearly disturbing other customers.It seems like it's maybe slightly more popular than they can handle, but understandably so as while it was a bit stressful it was a great experience.Vegetarian options: Clearly catering towards the more trendy vegan market but there is solid vegetarian options still.“
“We came for an event hosted at this restaurant. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The menu was all vegetarian so we didn't had high hopes with it knowing it's all American restaurant. But it turns out that the best part was the food. The vegetarian lasagna was the best I had! Compliments to the chef!!“
“Food was excellent, delicious bloody Mary and Brandon was an excellent server. Such a great place to enjoy with friends, watch a game on the TVs and enjoy a great meal. Prices are great and everyone is so friendly.. visiting from Texas and felt like I was at home“
