Like most Black Bear diners, this location still offers great food at affordable prices! A homey feel with caring servers, this is no different than most locations. The only complaint is there a distinct odor permeating the place. I don’t know what it is but it can be distracting at first. You do get used to it but the initial hit can be distracting. Otherwise, great food. Great service. And it’s in Torrance, the cleanest city this side of California!
