Porterville Black Bear Diner 910 W. Olive Ave. Porterville, CA 93257 (559) 784-3648 9/27/2018 Thursday afternoon 3:30 pm.

Boy were they busy. Luckily it was just me and I sat at the counter. First, I love Black Bear and go as often as I can. But if we never share the negatives then they may never know about them.

I ordered an order of Biscuits and gravy with a sausage patty and coffee. The Biscuits were pretty tough. I thought I'd have to get a chainsaw to cut the Biscuits. I don't think I'll be eating there for a long time. I don't appreciate the staff speaking Spanish to each other either.
