I discovered Black Bear in my college days and as other people have said, I associate it with comfort food. The food might not be world-class, but it's tasty and I love the variety on their menu.

First time eathing here. I was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly delicious it was. EVERYTHING came out cooked perfectly. Especially the corn bread. Soft and warm. I had the chicken fried steak. It was perfection. This place puts a little more effort in their meals and presentation over Chilli's, AppleBs, etc. I loved the rustic vibe and the staff was friendly. And the best part, all the food was not over salted like most restaurants of this nature. Will definitely be returning. Glad this place exists. Happy customer

Food was great, as usual. They were short a cook so there was a bit of a wait, but we weren't in a hurry. Hostess still hooked us up with a discount because we didn't want dessert! So awesome!

My bf and I love this place. The servers are always friendly and go above and beyond. Terri is always friendly. Today she made my bf's day when she asked him if he needed more gravy for his biscuit. He was like, "yeah" and grinning from ear to ear. Talk about the size of the portions also, definitely 2 meals in one. I love the chicken taco salad.

It's nice to have a black bear dinner in marin. This locations is pretty nice, staff is very nice, waiter is rocking it going back and forth taking care of a full restaurant and making sure we have everything we need! Food was amazing as always. And for a busy sunday morning, the wait wasn't that bad!

You need a great breakfast to start your day or a great burger. You gotta check this out. Service is warm, helpful, kind, knowledgeable. The food reminds me of my grandma. Its warm and comforting. I love the pancakes and egg combos and my kids live the kids menu.
