We just returned from Thanksgiving dinner at Black Bear Diner in Lodi. We are traveling, and had never eaten at a Black Bear Diner before. The Turkey dinner was FANTASTIC! The quality of food was outstanding! The volume of food was amazing, and the service was very friendly and fast. I hope all of these restaurants have the same quality. Very impressive. And, they closed early so the staff could have a holiday. I don't often applaud restaurants, but this one is an exception. Outstanding!

Looking for large portions, delicious food and the best service?? You'll find it at The Black Bear Diner!! My sister and I decided to give it a try after a fun day of shopping and it did NOT disappoint!! The place was packed when we walked in but was pleasantly surprised when the nice hostess announced that the wait would only be 15 minutes. Less than 15 minutes later, we were sitting at our table with water! We were greeted by our super friendly server named Cindy. She was upbeat, polite, friendly and very knowledgeable a... read more

Recently opened in Lodi, I wanted to visit for Veteran's Day to check it out and enjoy a free meal. Having dined at other area Black Bear Diners prior, I was craving for their Papa Bear with all the fixings burger, crispy fries and pumpkin spice pie. My anticipation to dine here did not disappoint me --- as my overall experience was outstanding! The meal was perfect; juicy and delicious. The servers, Ramona and Zoe, were friendly and very attentive to my needs. In addition, I appreciated Ramona for her periodic thanks for my... read more

I've been to several other Black Bear Diners, however this was my first time at the Lodi location and I was disappointed. I typically order the Lite Meatloaf dinner so when my plate arrived I was disappointed that my meatloaf was sitting in tons of liquid as well as the veggies. The veggies were soggy because of it. I'm not sure if it was a run off from the gravy but when I would lift the meatloaf up to eat it, it was dripping of the liquid. I ate because I was hungry but couldn't down the veggies. They were just too sogg... read more
