Ooooweee is this place delicious. The location will throw you off because it's inside a truck stop off the interstate. I think this add charm. I came during the middle of the week and this diner keeps a crowd for a reason. I came with my aunt for brunch and we left satisfied. Serving sizes are massive and great quality. I had the scrambowl and aunty had the omelette. Biscuits are the size of half the plate! We will be back.

I really enjoyed my experience at Black Bear Diner. You must try the loaded grits! Amazing! Next time, I'll try the lunch/dinner options.

Food was great and there was an older gentleman who was the host and was very nice! He made sure you felt comfortable and only gave recommendations if you cared to hear them. Food is a very generous portion. Only downside is that it was attached to a small truck store. Other than that...the food and service was amazing.

This place has shockingly good food and stellar service. This diner is the real deal! The servers are incredibly friendly ( shout out to Christina our server). The food was plentiful. They have the best grits in San Antonio, perfectly seasoned and correct consistency-heaven! The biscuit and gravy are HUGE, the gravy also well seasoned and the biscuit was perfectly baked. The dining room was clean and they bussed the tables as soon as a guest left. Nice. Other niceties included 5 different types of hot sauces. If you like di... read more

I love the ambiance and the total commitment to the "Bear" theme. The portion sizes were large, we did not leave hungry still. The coffee was great and bottomless. We had a lovely server. This is an excellent diner and truly a "diner" which is rare to find in a city and in 2023. We will definitely be back.

Black Bear never disappoints. The food is always fresh. The portions are big. The biscuits are huge. Our server this time around was Jennifer. She was courteous and friendly. Our drinks were never empty and she checked on us often. I order French toast on this order. Though they were good, I'll stick with the waffle (it's the best).
