Just relaying a friend's message from Facebook because I brag about Black Bear diner every so often on Facebook it's my favorite restaurant either in friendly or Las Vegas and Tucson. The Black Bear in YV has pretty good food, horribly slow service though. Gave me the wrong salad for my lunch and I patiently waited about an hour to get the taco salad I had ordered after they brought me a Cobb salad. Meanwhile, my guest had long been finished with their meal and had to wait while I ate mine. And there were only 3 other peo... read more

Update. Black Bear did respond to my first review. I followed up with the email and info they asked for. They HAVE NOT responded. So it is just an instant reply. Shameful.

Took my wife over to Black Bear diner on Friday afternoon. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries with a drink. She ordered the 4-piece over cooked chicken special. Not so special in my opinion. We waited over 30 minutes for the meal to be served, not a big deal. However, when I receive my bacon cheeseburger I noted to the waitress. It was missing the bacon. She stated , the bacon is on there as I looked for it. I found it, it was bacon bits. I let her know that it was unacceptable and I didn't order a bacon bit burger for... read more

Short Version: this place is like a Dennys so I'm not expecting the food to be top notch, however, I do expect it to come out hot or at the least luke warm. We had to send a plate back because it was literally ice cold and the chicken tenders were cold but my fries were barely warm. The service is okay, the waitress apologized but probably still wouldn't go back. It was not worth the $90. The only thing I would get again is the bacon Mac n cheese but even then we had to ask for it to be reheated. Long Version: when we firs... read more

My husband made reservations for 7 on Saturday for Father's Day. The time waa12 noon. He called back and confirmed it later Saturday night. We arrived at 11:55 am and told it would be 20 minutes by the little Teddy Bear hostesses who can't do much without the manager Frank. I decided 20 minutes why wait. They weren't all that busy. I could understand 5 minutes but 20? We left and went to La Cassita. They weee able to accommodate us. They had other large parties in the restaurant, we dined there. The little Teddy Bea... read more

Slow! Walked in and no one greeted us. Asked if we could just sit anywhere and the young girl gave us a booth. She brought us the menus and our drinks. You see one lady on her phone texting by the fountain drink dispenser instead of getting orders. A few families that were there before we arrived still hadn't been served. Terrible. We ended up walking out. Not the young girl's fault.

This review will include the good, the bad and the ugly of my experience at this location. I stopped for breakfast on a weekday at 10 AM, so it was not exactly rush-hour. First, the good. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. My request for over-easy eggs were done just right. The bad: the link sausages were bland and looked as though they had been "cooked" in the microwave. They did not have that delicious, crispy brown crust when done on a griddle. The ugly; the pancakes were the opposite of light and fluffy and we... read more
