Great place. Dinner runs about $16 kids meals about $7. Can get busy in the morning hours during breakfast but dinner time it’s easy to get in. Staff is very friendly.Food: 5/5
First time here and love their service. Food is amazing and great quality, and Victoria, our server, was really helpful and so outstanding. One of our favorite spots now, Come hungry if you get one of their big breakfast. Love their bear decorations.Food: 5/5
Great service and ample servings. Black Bear Diner has a very large menu specializing in home cookin'. Our party of 6 only waited about 10 minutes at lunch. I enjoyed the roast beef, and the broccoli was delicious. I had the smaller dinner order and it was plenty. They also offered Mothers Day specials all weekend.Food: 4/5
I have been wanting to eat breakfast here for about a year. I am retired, and it's difficult for a night owl like me to get up early enough to catch the morning crowd. They're a chain establishment, but the El.Cajon crew don't act like it! Their customer service is first-rate, the decaf coffee was piping hot, the bacon was crisp, the eggs were cooked to order, the grits were creamy, the pancakes were well done, and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely return to this delight!
Had to come back for another try. Last trip was not so great. However, very pleased with our meals. Service was great. We will return.Food: 4/5
Really cool design inside if you like a log cabin feel. The food was excellent and the servers were very nice. Food was well, we went for breakfast though and haven't tried any other meal times yet.Food: 5/5
I recently had an outstanding dining experience at Black Bear Diner, and it's undoubtedly deserving of a five-star review. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance set the stage for a delightful meal. What truly made the experience exceptional was the impeccable service provided by Nicole, our waitress. Nicole went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction, displaying not only efficiency but genuine warmth in her interactions. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she managed to make the dining experience truly memorable. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and friendliness. The food was fantastic, with generous portions and a diverse menu to cater to various tastes. The cozy atmosphere and Nicole's exceptional customer service make Black Bear Diner a standout choice. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a delicious meal accompanied by top-notch service. A big thanks to Nicole and the entire team for making our visit truly enjoyable!
It was my first time at this diner. I'd heard good things, read good reviews, and I know it to be a popular local spot, and maybe it was those things which poorly tempered my expectations. I felt as though the host/hostess and waitstaff were all a little absent. I try my best to sympathize with food service workers. I was in the industry once upon a time and my wife currently works in food service. I understand the trials and tribulations that one can go through. I understand that many personal issues can find themselves leaking into one's professional life. I understand that it's busy. Regardless of those things, I felt unattended to. The waitstaff was very inattentive albeit inoffensive. I never once felt that anyone was being rude or mean to me, but I felt the service was subpar. I had to fight to get the waitress's attention and we were not tended to as I have experienced in comparable restaurants, and diners of comparable business in specific. The food was acceptable. My wife loved her breakfast, though we both thought the vegetables included were not particularly good. We loved the charm of the diner, but the service was, in one word, disappointing.
Feel like you're in Tahoe on vacation right here in San Diego! Both the exterior and interior have a cabin in the woods/mountain diner vibe. Exposed wood with animal carvings really transports you to a different place. The menu is on a newspaper and is extensive. You can also read about the history of the Black Bear Diners on the menu. It was a cool conversation piece and helped pass the time quickly. The food is not going to knock your socks off, but I have never had a bad meal here. Very solid coffee and pies which is a must have for a diner. Waiting staff and front desk are always very pleasant. Kitchen works swiftly and efficiently. Recent trip with one other person came to only $47. Give this place a shot and it will be your new go-to spot. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a winding ramp to take you all the way from the parking lot to the entrance. Very friendly for wheelchairs.
I am originally from the south, and lately have been feeling homesick. But when I went to Black Bear diner with some friends I felt right at home. The restaurant was clean. Everyone there was so kind and there was so much hospitality all around. I can be a bit indecisive when it comes to ordering my food and the person who took my order was so patient with me, nonetheless. They answered all of my questions regarding the menu options and helped me order based on those options. Their menu is a newspaper and they have lots of little bears in different hidden areas around the restaurant, it's so cute! The amount of food you get along with the prices of the food and the quality, is totally worth it. I ended up ordering the biscuits & gravy w/ a side of sausage and eggs, and it pretty much cured my homesickness. I definitely have found a new favorite comfort food place, that tastes like home. I will definitely will be coming here more often, when I am able to. Thank you Black Bear Diner for being so kind and patient with me, and for making me feel so welcomed. And a big thank you for the anonymous angel that covered my friend's meal and got her kid a teddy bear. It really means a lot, to be a part of such a supporting community.
