Good food Big foot chicken fried steak- this meal you get to choose soup or salad, I chose salad. Then you get to choose 2 sides, I chose green beans and toast. it was a big steak and did take me a lot of bites. Was super nice and hot when it came out but cooled down pretty quickly. Knife that was given was really sharp. White gravy was white gravy, lacked flavor imo. It was an alright steak, took a lot of bites but wasnt as much as I expected. Salad- waiter will ask what dressing you want, from what I remember, he mentioned balsamic vinegar, thousand island and a few others. I chose thousand island, was surprisingly good ha ha. Maybe cause it came out first and I was slightly hungry, was refreshing and nice to snack on before the meal. Tomatoes were so good. And every other ingredient tasted really fresh. Garlic parmesan toast- this came with the big foot, was alright, toast is toast Green beans and bacon- also came with big foot, was pretty flavorful. Felt like eating the ingredients from a soup. The little soup at the bottom was super salty. Huckleberry ice cream- was alright. Quality was similar to store bought ice cream. With bits of ice. Not really what I'd expect from a restaurant. But I guess with such a cheap price, it makes sense. Definitely wasnt the highest quality. Didnt go to a restaurant to get store bought quality ice cream with ice. Like actually store bought better cause theres no ice. There was so much at the bottom. Nothing I cant chew through but not something you'd want in ice cream Vanilla ice cream- my friend got this and she said there wasnt as much ice as the huckleberry. To me, it also does look better than the huckleberry. Rueben sandwich- my friend got this and she said, "The garlic toast was great and I'm happy the waiter guy suggested using it as the bread for the sandwich" and "I wish there was more of the non-corned beef in the sandwich tho, but that's just my preference" Extra Theres a juke box Waiters nice We paid at the counter idk if its just cause we split the bill. Ambiance was really nice, comfy chairs and well decorated Nice place but idk if Im gonna crave to go back so 5/5

This place is down the street from my house, so I decided to walk over for breakfast. While the restaurant is pretty big, it has a homey and cozy feel to it. My server Spencer was super sweet, attentive, and easy to talk to. His fun and kind personality made me feel like I was speaking to a friend. I'm somewhat picky when it comes to breakfast food, but he recommended the Shasta Scramble which is now one of my favorites!

We come into Black Bear pretty often but never had we had service like this! They have a new server and his name is Spencer! It was one of the best service experiences i've had at any restaurant! He is professional and polite and a fun personality. He made our breakfast extra special!! We will definitely be coming back on Saturday and Sundays when he works! If you get the chance ask for Spencer! You will not regret it!

OK, looks like I've been on a Black Bear Diner kick here a little bit. I was just at another location and had a great experience. I'm in Chico for a little bit and found there's a Black Bear here. The onion rings I was really impressed with last, so we decided to get a whole side order for around $8 bucks. It arrived before our entrees, of the patty melt and the bacon cheeseburger salad. I guess i was expecting a bug mound of onion rings with the full appetizer order, so I was a little underwhelmed with the portion, but it tasted good anyways. I found you can substitute say fries off a burger or sandwich for the onion rings no charge, which I find rare in restaurants that you can get onion rings no extra charge. I'll just get the onion rings that way next time. My patty melt was mos fab and actually cooked med rare as ordered! Hardly any place cooks as I order, normally you just get well done no matter how you order a burger. My friend's bacon cheeseburger salad was really good, that was my choice if I didn't get the patty melt! I'll still come to Black Bear Diners, I'll just get onion rings instead of fries. Service was fine for our visit as well.

This was the seventh BBD I've visited and the food didn't disappoint, nor did the service given a busy Sunday morning. The hostess who seated us was also a bear enthusiast and wearing bear ears on her head. She was adorable and so I explained I like to wear the 10" bear paws they used to sell. This location was too busy for me to communicate like a bear with the server. The bear hostess was unique and fun. The wifi has a password and works, but both the gentleman's and ladies washrooms were disappointing. A carved wooden trio of cute bears greets you outside. They don't have a lot of merchandise at this location. Its nice and cool inside...bears don't like the hot Chico summer, either. If traveling, you can get an omelet with fruit and English muffin as a lighter option, which'll prevent early hibernation before you reach your den.
