We went to the Santa Ana location yesterday as a party of 5, after a reasonable wait we were seated at a booth with only 3 place settings. When our server finally came over she was impatient and short with us when we ordered drinks but asked for more time to look at the menu. I asked for additional place settings and she came back with creamer and said "He'll be over with more silverware. I have another table before you so I'll be back." Needless to say eventually one of us got up and took the place settings from another ta... read more

I came in at about 7PM on Sunday, with a party of 12 people. I ordered Meat loaf, I got severe food poisoning, started vomiting at 2AM. I will never go there again and will advise friends not to either. The over all presentation of the food for everyone, was worse than Denny's.

Waitress was very nice, but passed us 5 or 6 times without asking if we needed anything. Never refilled our drinks. Food was mediocre at best. Very small portions of chicken fried steak, potatoes were not cooked thoroughly. And the biscuits were cold and fell apart as if they were very old. I’ve dined at other black bear diners and they were very good. This one just misses the mark.

We visited the Santa Ana location. Went their for the first time yesterday. Was excited to eat thier food after hearing how good there food was. Well I ordered the corn beef hash with potatoes and biscuits and gravy. The corn beef and hash had about 10 little pieces of potatoes, look like nothing but hash. The biscuits were hard as a rock with just enough gravy to coat the top of them. So I sent back the biscuits and gravy and ask for a fresh batch with more gravy too., they brought me back another order of the biscuits ... read more
