Black Bear Diner

Since you walked in the restaurant everyone is so nice.
Our server Jonathan was super friendly, and helpful with recommendations regarding the menu.
It was a little chilly and he even brought a pot with water to warm my hands.
Manager is making sure everyone is good.
And the food ……: yummy
Best pancakes ever.
Definitely coming back.

Delicious food, but wish portions were a bit bigger. Wonderful service and the ambience of this place was wonderful!

Food was really good. Had the grizz breakfast choice. Very good. Was a little off on service. Waited about 25 minutes before I asked a server. Two minutes later we were served but the two tables ahead had not gotten there food. A little weird. The atmosphere was great. Loved the theme. Not over the top but cozy.

If im in the area and i just don't know what I want, I always come here (if they're open)..huge menu I'll always find something decent.

In the picture I've attached in I believe a special, brisket Benedict. I LOVE the hash browns, and they are consistent with making decent hollandaise, which I appreciate too

Exceptional…I’m a fan of this place, had the turkey dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was like homemade; to finish it off I had the banana cream pie…nicely done; only down side was the iced tea wasn’t really to my liking but drinkable.

Great service. Super friendly and very efficient! Huge menu. Something for everyone. My food arrived hot and it was good. Large portions

Good taste is guaranteed in Black Bear.. We had to wait a little before getting a table but it wasn’t a long waiting. My tuna salad was splendid, fresh and good sized. My children love to see all the bear art around.
Staff is nice, tables and restrooms are clean.
Also a plus is that it is located near to a charging station, so you can leave your car charging while you eat.

I was staying next door at four Points by Sheraton and Black Bear Diner is located in the same parking lot so it convenient to eat there. It’s clean and rustic. They have a good sized menu. It was raining so I ordered the bowl of chili and cornbread, they were good. It’s also near the freeway and shopping.

Great experience at the Black Bear Diner in Emeryville. If you’ve never been to a Black Bear Diner it’s a must try. As mentioned in the name, the restaurant theme is really black bears. It’s a rustic themed wildness restaurant with amazing wooden carved black bears placed all over the inside and outside of the restaurant. Though Black Bear serves everything, I would highly recommend their breakfast. The omelette are really amazing and the butter biscuits are incredible. The biscuits are large, baked fresh every morning, and buttery soft. I highly recommend that you eat at a Black Bear Diner whenever you can.

Today was the first time that I went here. I got the fish n' chips with a side of coleslaw and it was okay. I also tried some of someone's pasta and it tasted pretty good. I'll probably get that the next time I go.

The places is clean. The servers are really nice and attentive. Nayeli who is a cook did an excellent job. We love coming here because everything’s really good.

We went to Black Bear Diner twice because it was close to the hotel. Wow! The food was really good and huge portions.

I met friends here. The service and food was good. The menu choices are great. The portions are big.

Good food, very nice waitress. Also, not too busy on the inside.

Was staying at the Courtyard nearby. It was about a 5 minutes walk and closer than Denny’s. I had the Denver Omelet with a side of country gravy. It was delicious. The way staff was very nice.

The staff were the stars of the show. Great food, good portions and very inviting.

I went with a group of cyclists. We had too many bikes to fit out front on the bike rack they provide. So 2 associates brought our bikes into their back area. The seating was not provided there, but they had no problem assisting us. It was a very busy Saturday so there was quite a wait. Non the less it was worth it. Delicious food for our whole group.

Wanted to try this place for awhile seen them popping up all over the place, so me and my son had breakfast and we both enjoyed the food and service.

Great menu, literally great...
