Got pancakes and a orange juice I paid $30 not worth it

Waited over an hour for food to come out , ordered sandwiches with fries and pancakes for kids. Food came out cold. Let the waiter know, took the food and came back with food that was still cold. The chicken in my club sandwich was so dry, id compare it to old beef jerky. The kids didnt even like their pancakes. Would not recommend coming here.

I had a fantastic experience at Black Bear Diner! Daniel was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. His professionalism and attentive service really stood out — always checking in with a genuine smile and making sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find someone who combines warmth and efficiency so well. Thanks to Daniel, the visit felt even more enjoyable. Highly recommend both the diner and his outstanding service!

Not sure why I avoided coming into this place for as many years as I have. Glad I finally decided to stop in. This chain hails from rural Northern California, it has a bear and Shasta Mountain Lodge theme. Knotty pine and logs. Embroidered mountain motifs in the booths. It specializes in huge portions of freshly prepared diner food, fit for a starving lumberjack.
I had a two egg scramble with mixed vegetables that clearly was made from a lot more than just two eggs. What a deal. That veggie scramble is the highlight of the plate, all very fresh veggies- spinach, tomato, peppers, onions and avocado, fresh and crunchy mixed with scrambled eggs and melted Jack cheese.
The wheat toast came pre-buttered, but with only a hint of butter so I had to ask for more. I asked for shredded style hash brown potatoes expecting them to be hot, buttery and crispy but they're none of those things. White, soft, lukewarm. Not at all crispy and barely cooked. Forewarned is forarmed, next time I'll ask for them well done, extra crispy. The server who was running the place basically by himself with the others on break offered great service, super friendly, and when I asked him to take the potatoes back to the kitchen and have them cooked more, he did so with a huge smile.
They have their own custom branded hot sauce, Papa Burn and Mama Burn. All distinct and all delicious.
What a great place to come for a casual, fresh, delicious breakfast. This is a neighborhood jewel.
