About this business

In 1995 founders Bruce Dean and Bob & Laurie Manley opened the first Black Bear Diner in Mt. Shasta, CA.

Today, we continue their mission at every Black Bear Diner across the country, as we passionately provide guests an outstanding experience. Our menu offers comfort food classics, and our entire menu is offered all day long. Whether you are craving pancakes at 8 pm ... read more

Black Bear Diner has huge, delicious breakfasts & the biscuits are as big as a baby's head! Try the breakfast sliders--your choice of spicy or mild sausage on brioche buns. Vanessa is our favorite server--she's friendly, attentive & has a really cute personality.

The Black Bear Diner...one of those restaurants that will always remain constant in their quality of food, quality of service and large plates full of food. Great family restaurant, with friendly servers. As others have mentioned in their reviews...the one thing Black Bear is famous for is their absolutely huge portions that they serve you. Whenever we are looking for a place to eat and can't decide collectively, we will usually end up here.

I have heard great things about this restaurant so I decided to go. The portions are HUGE!! The food was hot and delicious! The Chicken fried steak was tender and seasoned perfectly! The gravy was amazing! I had eggs with it and hash browns!! Two huge biscuits extra gravy!! Of course no one can eat all this so I had some to take home for later. My server was so nice I had my drink always filled up with iced tea. You know the food is delicious because the place was packed full of people it was amazing! Families and just ... read more

They work magic in the kitchen! That's the truth, the food is more like a therapeutic experience than just a meal. I love the feel of being in a forest town, it reminded me of Bend, Oregon. This is my new favorite Portland restaurant.

Went here for breakfast with my family. The place looked clean enough, we were seated quickly, and the server was friendly. The food was delicious and the portions were huge! I think one meal could have fed the four of us, but I took the leftovers home to save for another meal. The biscuits were HUGE and delicious. Coffee was okay, the Omelet was good. My sister did not like her food. I forget what it was but she said she ordered it at a location in a different state and the food didn't taste the same here in Portland. I'd... read more
