Reviews for Black Bear Diner Federal Way in Federal Way, WA

Traditional diner food with a very extensive menu. Portions are huge but if you want something light to eat they also have... lighter meals to choose from. Staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered ?The Grizz? which is pancakes with eggs, bacon,sausages, ham steak and hash browns. Friend ordered the home style meatloaf with mashed potatoes and veggies. The meatloaf wasnot served as advertised. The pictures showed the meatloaf in slices but we were served meat mush. Overall this place is okay,if I?m in town I?ll probably come back and try something else on the menu. Read more

Black Bear Diner... Specialize in breakfast and served any time of day. Black Bear Diner was established in Northern... California... by local inhabitants. The food here is exceptional. The desserts are irresistible... Check out the Bear Claw orthe Banana Creme Pies... These proportions were large for desserts... The Breakfast I ate was traditional and good. Theatmosphere within the restaurant here is 'home cooked'. The food comes to you perfectly prepared... and delicious. I recommendthis restaurant and would eat here again for sure. I just wish I could try out more menu items. Read more

It's always fun and lovely to see themed restaurants and cafes. I quite enjoyed looking at bears from every angle! I was super... stoked when I saw that the sugar packets and even the ketchup had been branded with the bears!!! We had breakfast food anddefinitely could not finish it. I ordered the volcano pancakes, my stomach was ordering for me. The pancakes were pretty denseand was mediocre for the price. Eggs, bacon and hasbrowns were about the same too. Although the bacon was nice and thick butstill crispy which is what I liked. They had a bear mascot came out and gave me a hug which ultimately made my day! Definitelywould try out this place if you're looking to eat lots and just enjoy the atmosphere. Bring someone who loves bears!!! Read more

Very personable staff. Older facility but quaint. Food was ok, nothing to write home about but very large portions. I regret not... having tried the desserts but was a bit underwhelmed and didn't want to roll the dice. *** Be sure to ask for a militarydiscount if it applies to you. *** Read more

Food was good but underseasoned - please use some salt & pepper sitting the cooking!! It'll bring out the flavors. My county... potatoes were a little dark, and I got lots of little bits (like a "bottom of the bag" kind of thing). Huge portions! I puthalf in a to-go container right away so that I wouldn't stuff myself, because aside from the lack of seasoning, it was sogood! Husband said his chicken fried steak was just OK, but he probably wouldn't order it again. He loved his big fluffypancakes, though. Read more

Great place for a breakfast meal. I had ordered the Trio tip sandwich and was amazed by the size of the portion you get for you... meal. Indeed a great place to eat. Would of given 5 stars but the spot we were seated at was only 62 degrees even thoughthermastate set to 74. Otherwise wonderful place to eat. Read more

Dinner, three checks, one table of seven. First, let's give credit to our serve, Jack. He was busy, the restaurant was full. He... had more than a few large tables/groups in his area. Beverage fills, accurate orders and very professional. The meals: I orderedbreakfast, Joe's Hobo omelet with fresh fruit, delicious. Chicken strip dinner, good for my granddaughter. The Prime Ribdinners, a nice size slab of beef and sides with excellent corn bread muffins. The Turkey dinner is always on point. Theblackened salmon was moist and flavorful. The four year old loved the Cub's Chocolate Chip pancake. Overall, a good consistentmeal compared to other Black Bear Diners. Read more

The pot roast was cold when placed on the table. We arrived right at opening, so were somewhat surprised that the staff weren't... ready for customers yet. The server could have been in the cast of Waiting, so we didn't dare let in how displeased we were withthe pot roast. The country fried steak was good for being in the north and saved a star in my rating. Read more
