“ The day my family and I came was a slower day. We were able to come and sit down quickly. Our food came out in great timing and it was delicious. I got the scrambowl, my dad got the bobs big burger with a side of half and half (fries and onion rings), and I also got the Arnold Palmer. The staff was efficient and respectful. The place was clean and ready for customers to dine. ”

“ Black Bear Diner is the only place that I know where to get Grits. My Denver Omelet was very tasty but so large, I couldn't eat ot all. You definitely leave here full. The service is always outstanding and the atmosphere is always so welcoming. ”

“ What a nice lunch today here after last week's awful experience at The Embers in Pinole. The patty melt was delicious & my husband really liked his avocado chicken club. The fries were so good, hot & crunchy. The host & staff were very friendly & attentive. We will be back! ”

“ The food was served perfectly and the service is superb Food & Service. This is my son's favorite breakfast place ”

“ We came up to Vallejo and my fiance was craving black bear diner! We got seated (party of three) in less than five minutes. The food was entres were amazing, but the fries were not seasoned. It did take awhile for it to come out (about 15-20 minutes). The restaurant is decorated with a bunch of bears and just gives off a really nice diner vibe. ”

“ My wife and I had breakfast here since we were in the area. It's been a while. Wife ordered the Veggie Omelet, home potatoes, and sourdough toast. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Omelet, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. Everything was really good, hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Gravy was yummy, and Steak was cooked perfectly. Cheesy with a bunch of veggies in Omelet, too! Prices are a bit high, and food is good, though. Great customer service! ”

“ When I want a nice hot meal that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I consider a Black Bear Diner. The food is reliably good and the service friendly. As usual I wandered in at an odd hour about 3 pm. The kitchen was open although the service was a tad slow probably because the staff was on break. As usual I ordered fish & chips. It came hot and crispy. The slaw had a thin dressing so the vegetables shone. The tartar sauce was adequate. I suspect it came out of a bottle. The portions were large for me but there's plenty of folk who would wish for more. All in all, black bear diner got the job done at an odd hour. I could wish for little things (like malt vinegar) but that does not detract. ”
