Our food was amazing and believe it or not, all the food in picture is just one order split. Izzabella was our server and she was amazing. She always smiled and was very responsive to anything we needed I will definitely be back.

I just went and picked up my lunch from here. I can’t eat bread as I have a gluten intolerance. I asked for my burger to be lettuce wrapped and I paid an extra $1.50 for Avocado. I also specified no onion. All of my burger an toppings was thrown in to the container and the lettuce for my supposed wrap is wilted and disgusting. I paid $18 for this and it’s a complete let down. I’ve never had this terrible of service here before. What a shame.

Incredible. Truly… everything is made perfectly. This is my 3rd time here and I’m just blown away at how incredibly good this place is. The way they present the food, the way they season it, cooked, fried, prepared perfectly. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Service is on point too. And they’re homemade ranch is spectacular.

Huge portion for the price, great comfort food with flair. I normally don’t have meatloaf, but there’s was absolutely amazing! Somehow they got the balance of flavors and textures spot-on, it included onions, carrots, sausage, and beef, with a really nice gravy that was not overly salty like so many are. I had mine with a loaded baked potato that had high-quality, chopped real bacon, a lot of cheese, ample, sour cream and butter. The side of green beans with onions and more of that great bacon was a great complement to the meal. I’ve been to black bear diners in Bend and another location that I can’t remember, this one was actually better than the Bend location. Will come back again when I’m traveling through the area.

A great place to get a home cooked meal when not at home. Service was very good and speedy kitchen staff did a great job cooking our food. Enjoyed breakfast so much we went back for dinner. Country fired steak was delicious. Hats off to the hard working crew.

This place is so good. Took a Lyft from our hotel to eat here. Smoked ham was delicious. Loaded Grits were good. Sweet cream pancake was awesome. Excellent service.

I have been eating here for 5 years now. This is my first review because that is how wonderful my experience was. I am a server and a bartender so when you go out to eat and get exceptional service it doesn’t go unnoticed. We are a large family and this was the first time the entire order was correct. All of our food was am amazing and hot. Leona is the best server in there and she deserves the recognition!

I really liked the atmosphere and style of this diner, and our server was fantastic! However, the food took a very long time (and we had breakfast), and it wasn’t the best. It wasn’t terrible either, just not worth the wait. The potatoes were a bit tough, hubby’s bacon wasn’t very crispy, and the food needs some serious seasoning. Maybe if we went at a busier time. The portions were good. I’m willing to give it another chance, but not sure if hubby is.

I go for breakfast when I’m in town for STN EXPO because it’s close by. The food is good and hot. I try something different each time.

Average ‘Black Bear Diner’ atmosphere. Restaurant was clean and comfortable on a Tuesday night @ 7pm. They greeted us quickly & we were seated within minutes. Chloe, our waitress, took our drink & food orders and let us know that they were down a cook, and that it would take a while longer than normal. Not a big deal – appreciated the heads up. Some patrons not as patient, left. Others decided to stay and then berated their server, and were completely rude and mean. We got our order, correct and cooked right, in about 20 minutes….not bad at all for dinner time. We appreciate the people that came to work & did their best. The cook, 2 waitresses and hostess were RUNNING. They were working hard to help everyone and people were mean. We just wanted to thank Chloe & the cook for our meal. It was appreciated
