The service was horrible and the food made me sick. The pancakes and bacon were undercooked and the milked tasted spoiled.

No stars, just an IYI if you are black, don't eat here. I came with my family and the waitress started to take our order then went to check on an item for us, two minutes later I saw her taking the orders from a group from a large group of people. She never came back so we left. Watching her watch us leave and not a word. I will never come back to this place. Zero stars!

Don't ever order the Roasted Turkey Dinner, because it's NOT ROASTED at all, it's like slices of turkey deli meat, it's discus ting looking. I sent my order back and waited for my Wife and Granddaughter to finish there meal and we left, I will not go back there unless Emily is working, she always took care of us.

When I arrived at the restaurant in Downey on Florence, I sat down at the counter lady who assisted me had a bad attitude kind of ruined my day a little bit I quickly cancel my order and left won't ever return again ever those people there have no sense of values. All they want is the tip not worth it and they don't care they act like if you owe it to them. I'd give it no stars, but I have to give one to leave my experience.

I visited Black Bear diner last night with my kids who enjoyed their meals from the kids menu. I was torn between the pot roast and the roasted turkey dinner, ultimately choosing the turkey, which is advertised as 8 ounces of turkey breast. While my kids started their meals, I waited a bit longer for mine, which was fine. When my dinner finally arrived, I noticed the turkey looked different than expected. With two young kids, it's nearly impossible to focus on my food, so I took a bite without a close inspection. my first t... read more

The food isn't bad but the waitresses... my goodness when I tell you you guys need to HIRE BETTER EMPLOYEES... I am not over exaggerating. We *were* regulars here, but after these last 2 or 3 visits, we've really had enough. Multiple occasions where we have waited and waited for someone to bring us a simple item like syrup or juice which should take less than 5 min since it doesn't need to be prepared in the kitchen, and when I try to get an update on the status of my juice or syrup our waitresses are no where to be found...... read more
