The prices were high and the food was not nearly worth the price. Nothing had a homemade taste to it. The loaded potato soup was terrible. Lumpy and tasted like paste. I’ve always had better experiences at black bear. Not sure if it the location or if the whole chain has gone downhill. But I’ll spend my money somewhere else.

This place took almost 25 minutes just to take our order then took another 25 minutes to get the order to us. If you have all the time in the world then this is the place for you but if not do not go there.

During a lunchtime visit, my hubby left his laptop behind so we called and spoke to Dakota and she secured it behind the hostess station. After a sleepless night (my husband is an author and all his work was on that computer) we tried calling the next morning and the phones were down so my next move was to call Yreka PD and they sent an officer down there who took possession of the laptop and immediately called us back. I was then connected with Janene in lost & found/claims at Yreka PD and we arranged to have the laptop shipped to us through Fed Ex and it arrived safely the next day. We can’t thank the quick thinking and caring staff of BBD (and Yreka PD) enough! Oh, and the food is really good too! It’s so good, you’ll end up forgetting what you brought in with you!

Food was good as always. Host unfortunately was not aware of specials, the reason a bear is marked next to menu items and forgot kids menus for our children. She was very nice though. Our server was great.
Overall, not the best service we have had at BBD but considering the location, we would be back if ever in the area again.

Was okay… pot roast was good, but luke warm at best. Onion rings and Green beans were on the cold side. Black berry Cobbler was okay, a little on the tart side but big enough for 2. Service was okay as well, only seen one waitress for entire section…. Loud screeching kids, not BB fault. Restaurants need to have a section for families with loud kids, or better yet….. parents control ur kids

What a fantastic meal!! The service was exceptional and prompt. We need one in Coos Bay, OR. The grilled chicken with onion straws with hollindasie sauce was so delicious. Thank you!!!

It's an ok diner in the middle of a small town. People were friendly except they prefer to talk to locals over the visitors. Food was decent, service was slowish but it was a hot busy summer day when the Fair was in town.

Black Bear Diner is like going back in time. It's kind of what you expect from a diner but we liked it. I had the veggie scramble with hash browns. Top layer of hash browns was good, under part was not as much. My husband had the Bear's Choice Breakfast. I also had the cookies and cream milkshake which was really good. Service was good. Bathroom was clean.
We had been going to Black Bear for quite a few years until recently The Waitresses don't pay attention to your order when you say no onions they will give you double onions and the food has been cold the last couple times not to mention getting charged double on two of our orders

What a treat! The Tri-Tip Dip was absolutely delicious — tender, flavorful, and satisfying. The kids really enjoyed their Grilled Cheese and BLT sandwiches, which were well-prepared and hit the spot.
The only downside was the customer service. Staff seemed more focused on chatting with friends than clearing tables or checking in with customers, which took away from an otherwise great dining experience.
With a bit more attention to service, this place could be a five-star spot. We’ll likely be back for the food!

Late lunch and the place was almost full as the first 2 of our group of 3 cars arrived (6 people) we (3) arrived 35 mins behind them and they had requested two tables to cater for the full group. The service was a little slow but not enough to worry about. The food was up to the usual Black Bear standard, and a good meal was enjoyed by all ad a great break between Portland and Sacramento. Nice..

They have a large menu. Our grandkids love this place. They have good kids menu. The service was fast and friendly. For comfort food that satisfies. I recommend
