“This year we chose Black Bear diner for the location of our annual Chrispen Team Pumpkin Pie giveaway, and we couldn't have been more impressed. The manager Isaid was amazing from the start helping me plan the event and order hundreds of pies. The large patio provided a private and cheerful atmosphere and was the perfect spot for the event. Carlos and the rest of the staff were amazingly attentive and handled everything we needed on the day of the event. All of our clients raved about how delicious the pies were and loved the convenient location. We can't wait to come back next year!“

“We had a group of 24 people, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Luis was excellent—he went above and beyond to accommodate us on very short notice, which is no small task for a group our size. He arranged a private room for us, making the gathering feel both comfortable and well-organized.
What really stood out was how quickly everything came together. The food arrived impressively fast, and the service never missed a beat despite the large party. Luis and the team made sure everyone was taken care of, and the whole experience felt smooth and effortless.
Highly recommend for large groups or special gatherings—great service, great coordination, and a very enjoyable experience overall.“

Ask for the section of Mr. Isaiah you will not be disappointed.“

“My friends and I tried this place out and we loved it. We started with the meatballs and then got the rib eye. Everything was fantastic. We tried a couple different drinks and everything was really good. I’ll be back“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“The food is delicious and generous portions!“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“Had a great breakfast Chicken fried steak and eggs,huge portion of hash browns ,toast We also had a Our server he was great Huge portions We will be back“

“Make reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s otherwise it’s a long wait.“

“I started going here with my sister and my mom and she lives close by and goes all the time. Everyone is so friendly. We love the food. I bring my son who’s two years old and they’re always so nice to him even when he runs in the back.😊“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“

“Fun location with delicious entrees, salads, drinks and so much more!“

“We had good time and enjoyed our 3 courses lunch with entrée & dessert wines included. Service was attentive and friendly. foods were tasty, well plating and reasonable prices. We have another reservation for dinner this coming Friday.“

“A very small breakfast place. Quaint and friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious. Portions were a little all over the place. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon. Great flavor! Just the way I like it. It's just breakfast...in a burrito. But it was on the small side, normal store tortilla size not those giant ones you get from other similar establishments. My daughter got a side of bacon and a side of hash browns. There's no way I could have eaten all they gave her. Overall delicious. Would definitely come again.“

“It was wonderful and the food was delicious. The prices are very affordable. I will be coming back!“

“The lunch experience at this Lazy Dog was phenomenal! The food was delicious and well portioned. Jacob, our waiter, provided stellar service and checked in on us to make sure everything was satisfactory. Definitely recommend coming here for a delicious meal in a chill and friendly environment.“

“Wonderful food and great service! Thank you for having dine-in also! I hope more restaurants will be bold and open with dine-in!“

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped by this establishment because my normal breakfast spot was full to the gillz one particular morning. This establishment was pretty darn close to being full and seated us promptly. I was pleasantly surprised by the food which was spot on. I opted for the chicken and waffle which was hearty and sumptuous. While I still consider my go to breakfast spot to be Georgia's bun n burger up the road, I believe I'll keep this diner as a formidable reserve in my back pocket.“

“Bingo and the Los Angeles Dodgers!“

“Old Time diner feel. Breakfast lunch place..Very friendly people...food is pretty good.went in for lunch..they close early I had a sandwich and my friend had the huevos rancheros...he said it was just ok...mine was good. Definitely be back for breakfast“

“Good food and service……..“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“I got the Mongolian beef, extra spicy. It was tasty, but 85% rice, and was actually a little sweet not spicy. They merely threw more whole red chili's but nobody actually eats whole Chinese red chili's.

My friend got the swordfish, and opted out of the rice and upgraded to double string beans, didn't look like they doubled it.She said there's no hint of flavor on the beans, like they were simply boiled. She did like the caper sauce on the fish but had to ask for more.

Both dishes were lunch sized portions with dinner pricing, but there's live music (Friday 7pm), so just realize that it's less of a restaurant than a fine whiskey bar with food.“

“Clean,Friendly great atmosphere“

“Took the thanksgiving turkey meal to go and overall it was a pretty good platter set up. The turkey was moist and the gravy was flavorful. The cornbread was a bit on the drier side and then the vegetables were pretty bland, but the sauce helped.“

“The food was Dennys standard - not bad but not great.
The servers were really friendly and professional. We were so tired after a hard day of traveling and really enjoyed just relaxing. The staff didn't act bothered that we didn't eat quick and leave. We had a really nice time.“

“It was an overall great experience. Came to chat with a friend, and was able to, while a great playlist played in the background.

Try the Cauliflower Bites and the fish tacos...very nicely done.

Will definitely be back!“

“Been here two or three other times and every time they have not let us down. Food is so good! Made to order. You cannot go wrong with a cheeseburger, I love shredded lettuce on a burger, or a grilled chicken burger, the patty was so juicy, even their fries! Oh my gosh, their fries and ranch are so addicting. One of our previous visits was just for fries & ranch! The times we've been here there's been a line but it's nothing compared to other places where it takes forever to order and forever to come out. And their staff have been so nice every time. I am definitely coming back and definitely recommend if you have not been.“

“John, our server is always so great with no exception today and it really made us feel welcomed and valued to be greeted while we waited to he seated by the manager, Christy. This is why this will be our Applebees of choice when my friend and I meet halfway for dinner and drinks. I come from Duarte and she from Ontario. Thanks for the pleasurable dining experience every time.“

“Love this Applebees! Always a great experience! Staff are absolutely amazing and always keep you staying longer than you intended to stay. Food is always fresh and restaurant is always clean. I love that this restaurant takes pride in everything they do. Kudos to the amazing workers and managers at this location!“

“Love coming here in the morning..also..the Lady in the morning, (the mother, wife, of the owners,) she has the best hospitality ever :)“

“Great food. Great customer service“

“I had been wanting to visit Wings Café for quite some time, and it exceeded my expectations.

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere made the experience unique. Being able to enjoy breakfast while watching the activity around the airport was something my kids and I really enjoyed. The omelets, eggs, and hash browns were delicious, and the portions were generous.

As an added bonus, there was a classic car show taking place during our visit, which made the day even more memorable.

If you’re looking for great food, friendly service, and a one-of-a-kind aviation atmosphere, I highly recommend Wings Café. We will definitely be back.“

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great“

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“We made a reservation for 7pm on a Friday night. Had to wait through a lot of Knott's Scary Farm traffic just to get in the parking lot though. Even though we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes past that time, but we could see that there were open tables available. I figured since it is wide open inside, it'd be pretty loud, but it really wasn't bad. We could still hold a conversation and hear each other well, even though there were music videos playing and lots of people around us. Our servers were really attentive. Our main server had to take a break and was really transparent about handing us off to someone else. We ordered a Bloody Mary (spicy!! but safe), and a strawberry basil margarita (decent). For our meals we got the Bill Graham BBQ Chicken Pizza, which was excellent. It had lots of flavor, the perfect amount of cheese, and wasn't greasy or soggy at all. I'd be hard-pressed to order something different if we ever visit a R&B again! We also got the Blackened Chicken Pasta, which was very good too - just the right amount of spice, good flavors, and the chicken was perfect. Overall, we had a really good experience at Rock & Brews, and would come back if we're ever visiting the area again.“

“We were served by Rachel who was amazingly cheerful, positive, friendly & professional at 7am! She made the whole experience extremely special. We are from the UK on vacation & ate here on 2 mornings, both were excellent food at great value. Thanks.“

“I originally bookmarked the Rosemary Room for brunch, but we ended up coming for dinner instead. We ordered the beef sliders, truffle Parmesan fries, and I had the hibiscus margarita. Everything was really good. The food was solid, and the pricing felt fair for today’s world—not cheap, but not outrageous either.

Honestly, since it’s inside a hotel, my expectations weren’t sky-high, but the food pleasantly surprised me. I’d definitely come back, especially to try their brunch.

The reason it’s four stars instead of five comes down to the atmosphere and staffing.

The restaurant sits right in the hotel lobby with no walls, so you hear everything—hotel guests coming and going, music playing in the lobby, the TV from the bar, and general foot traffic. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxed dinner, this might feel a little overstimulating.

Also, our waiter (who was great, by the way) seemed to be doing the job of about three people. He was taking orders, bringing drinks and food, running payments, and even delivering room service. The poor guy was working like he owed the hotel money. On a Friday night, they could definitely use more staff.

That said, the food was good, the service was kind, and I’d still come back—next time probably for brunch.“
