Ambience is spot on for people who love the mountains and outdoors Food can be hit and miss at the Valencia Ca location -- depends on the cook in the kitchen I suppose. The menu is diverse so there is something for everyone, and I enjoy the menu itself. It's like a newspaper with various interesting tidbits about the chain. My go to is the salmon dinner and do not pass up the biscuits. They are huge and delicious

On our way back home from Santa Cruz, our plan was to find a Black Bear Diner and have a late afternoon breakfast.

What we enjoy about Black Bear Diners are, that they serve American style food and pride themselves in serving hearty, home cooked meals offering a large menu selection that should tempt just about anyone's taste preference. This place wasn't too busy, but they were impressively staffed! They seemed very pr... read more

Nicely decorated large restaurant chain. All day breakfast with lots of choices. Arrived at 10am on a Monday. Got seated immediately in a booth. Waitress friendly and helpful. The coffee cups are large and thick. Bear paws and pictures of black bears all over. Food was awesome too. I recommend this comfortable diner.

The food here is good. Nothing fancy but always good. That's not why I'm here reviewing today. In fact I never do this but today is a must. I haven't even gotten my food yet but have to say I love my waiter!!!! Mary is the best. So friendly and bubbly. Give this woman a raise! She just made my day. Thank you.
