11 Best American Restaurants in Tulare

“It's a typical American diner with an overwhelming menu - almost all things you can imagine are there! We had breakfast - waffles with apples and pancakes with bacon and egg. All was freshly made and tasty. Lovely staff, very eager to suggest something, helpful. The place itself is a bit vintage, a bit kitchy (a lot of random apple figures, paintings, etc), but it has its charm as well! Overall, that was a nice spot to have breakfast before hitting the road.“

“I eat at Black Bear Diner in Tulare at least three days a week, every week since August of 2025, Excellent service, Good Food, and HOT HOT Coffee. Being a diabetic and a strict diet they comfort me with my meal. Black Bear Diner in Tulare is where you find me.“

“Everything was delicious. The desserts are much fresher and faster service when ordering since the other business inside there left. They are all done by bravo again.“

“Enjoy dining here!! Very nice atmosphere.“

“Dennys for us is always a must especially when everything else is closed Dennys comes through by being open 24 hours no matter what town we go to. I do have to say that the food was delicious on this visit but we did go several days later and the cook might have been different because on that day it would have been a 4 star!“

“Today I went to breakfast with my family at Dennys and I’ve got a very good service and the Manager, Daniel D was very kind, always attentive to what we needed and the coffee was never missing, excellent service.“

“As a special needs family, we would like to give our waiter,Dory, a big shoutout for making our day yesterday.

Going out with our special needs daughter is not easy at times, but going to a restaurant who accommodates your request to “sit farther” is so important.. but to have a waiter like Dory makes our outings feel “normal.”

Dory offered us a kind gesture as we waited for our food that helped my daughter as we waited for our food, and that just made our whole day! We wanted to make sure we praised her work and the location for making our day! 💜“

“The cashier was very friendly. She answered all my questions & was very nice. We ordered a Birria Pizza & it came with 3 consumes, radishes on top, limes, & we asked for different types of salsas. It was super good, hot, & fresh. The birria had plenty of flavor, but the consume didn’t have much flavor. It needed more seasoning or salt. The salsas were very good. The red one had a bit of an odd taste but definitely some spice to it. It was my first time going & I was pleased. Very clean inside & nice atmosphere. I would give this 5 stars if the consume had more flavor to it. I would reorder this again if I’m being honest because the pizza was very very good! Very crunchy & cheesy.

Parking: Plenty of parking & easy to park“
