Karen is a truly amazing waitress, she truly goes above and beyond she smiles and she's very sweet friendly and good at her job and the food was amazing I'm happy I came in tonight. Thanks again Karen for being such an amazing person the world needs more people like you. Great job

While visiting the amazing Marin County Civic Center we needed a place for lunch. Black Bear Diner looked intriguing. What a great place. Warm, friendly, fun decor and great food. The onion rings were some of the best we've had, and the Gobbler sandwich was delish. Our friend Allan loved his "burger salad", even though it wasn't what he thought it was. We tipped it off with one of their coconut creme pies, the pie was delicious, the whipped topping a disappointment. Would I stop here, or at another. Deffo!

Had dinner tonight with a few snafus, but Vincent, our server, was helpful, enthusiastic and eager to make things right. Appreciate all the effort!

This is one of my absolute fav breakfast spots. The staff is always nice and attentive. And the food is amazing. My favorites are the biscuits and gravy and the pancakes. They also have really great bacon that is almost always cooked perfectly! The service is fast and the prices are good. I definitely recommend

The amount of food they serve is huge. I like their price and they really cook it well for you. Especially their steaks. If you're also into shakes like Oreos, might as well get it! I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

I received a coupon for a free Birthday breakfast at Black Bear Diner in San Rafael. I absolutely loved everything about this beautiful restaurant! The food is fresh and delicious (and very ample) :) From the welcome from General Manager named Shaune (very nice and made us feel like we were at an old friend's home). Our Server Terry, was very nice and efficient and remembered us from our last visit. She had a new Server following her...his name is Vince and he seemed to be loving his new job. I was a Server for many years an... read more
