One might think that with the huge crowds at this BBD location, the food must be phenomenal but I have to say that after coming here regularly (I live a few blocks away) the food is just alright. It's definitely a step above Norms/Denny's but I wouldn't say it's amazing. The item I've liked most is their veggie scramble. On another occasion I had the tuna melt and it was good. On my last visit I had the egg sandwich (I can't remember the actual name) and it was meh. It was a little cold which was odd because we went at 7am b... read more

This is our family's go-to spot whenever we want to have a cozy meal. We know that we're always going to have a great time and eat great food. This dinner was extra special due to our server Jesus who did everything to make sure we had an enjoyable meal. Not only that but he went above and beyond for our little one. She was treated like a princess the whole time. As a parent you surely appreciate someone who not only displays patience but also interest in helping your child have a good time while having dinner. I will alway... read more

The food was really good, my complaint is about the service. One of the bussers was a better server than our waitress. She messed up our order after several times correcting her when she read it back to us, was rude, and incredibly inattentive. She served us the wrong food and didn't give us any utensils so we asked the busser and he was the main one asking what we needed and helped us out. He got our utensils, grabbed our plates, and gave us boxes to go. She only came to check on us when I was saying this will be reflected ... read more

Business response:

We apologize for the poor service experience. Glad our busser provided great care and the food was really good! We'll address this internally.

We had such a wonderful experience at Black Bear Diner in Downey, thanks to our waiter Mike. We were the last customers in the restaurant, and although the diner closes at 10:00 pm (we were still there around 10:17 pm), we never once felt rushed or uncomfortable. Mike was incredibly patient, kind, and professional from the very beginning until the end. What truly stood out was his attitude -- he had a genuine, warm smile the entire time, even late at night. He checked on us at just the right moments, making sure we had eve... read more

Great service! Kyle was very attentive and helpful with his service and ensuring we had everything we needed. This was my first time at Black Bear and I appreciated the extra effort that he placed to further enhance the experience. The food was excellent. Kyle recommended the in house made patties and they did not disappoint, I would recommend. The atmosphere was friendly and an enjoyable for catching up and sharing a good time.
