So we went tonight for an early dinner at 6pm. Service itself was great. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive but my complaint is about the food. I’m so disappointed in the $23 skirt steak “my way” special. I’m including a photo of the completely inedible burnt meat. Basically all my dinner consisted of was sides. And can you get any more lazy with the corn on the cob as the “seasonal vegetables”?
My husband got the NY steak and eggs and was so looking forward...read full review

Based on the reviews, Black Bear Diner in Salinas offers consistent, good food that is served quickly and tastes amazing. However, the service is a major complaint for some customers. The staff can be slow to seat guests and get menus, even when empty tables are available, because they are slow to clear dirty dishes. In contrast, many reviews highlight exceptional service from specific servers. Alfredo is described as a great server with excellent customer service, who is attentive, friendly, and anticipates needs. Another server, Bradley, provides hands-down the best service, being incredibly friendly, attentive, and on top of everything, even on busy holidays. He greets guests immediately, introduces himself, and checks on tables consistently. While the food is solid and delicious, the service experience is inconsistent. Some customers have had bad experiences with a server who showed no empathy, while others praise the outstanding service from Alfredo and Bradley. Overall, the diner has great food and potential for solid service, but the experience depends heavily on which server is working.
