Really fun diner right by Six Flags with excellent breakfast. The eggs were delicious, and the staff were nice and efficient.... Fun black bear Cali theme. Would recommend, it?s hard to find good diners and this is one of them. Read more

We had a good experience at Black Bear Diner in Santa Clarita. It's a chain breakfast place where you can get lots of basic... breakfast items in a bear-themed environment (without all the growling and mothers protecting their young which you get whenreal bears are around.) The portions were huge so you definitely won't go hungry here and there are a million things to choosefrom, as well as plenty to eat for vegetarians, and gluten-free folks will do okay too. (Though the only gluten-free breadoption is a hamburger bun.) I had the "No Meat, Just the Eggs Please" which was a good amount of egg whites and an insaneamount of crispy hashbrowns. They were cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning so were a bit bland. They were nice enough to sub asingle "Sweet Cream Pancake" as my bread option. This was a generous-sized thing on its own and tasted as good as a pancakeshould. The coffee was really good. Too often conventional breakfast places serve up weak coffee which just doesn't do the job.The mug they served me was filled with a bold, strong coffee that I would drink over and over. Well done! Our kid enjoyed hisbreakfast burrito without meat...another giant portion which even he, with all his teenage eating prowess, could notfinish. And my wife was fine with her benedict meal served without bread (no gluten-free breakfast bread option.) They didforget to bring our english muffin side until the end of the meal. We ended up packing it up and taking it with us with the restof the leftovers. It was a great surprise to have decent food, large portions, and really good coffee at a chain conventionalbreakfast spot. I'm a fan and will be back. Read more

I?ve always liked Black Bear for its breakfast food. We were seated immediately as we came in at a good time, but the place got... busy pretty quickly (good sign). Food was good, service was efficient, and overall this place is still a great place to getbreakfast/brunch. Read more

This restaurant has really improved the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff. The fish and chips is now my... go to dinner with sweet potato fries! The staff are always friendly to my children. After eating to my fill there was stillenough to take home for Lunch! Read more

Um. It?s hard to rate this because our family TRULY enjoys black bear diner restaurants! Food is great and service is USUALLY... great! This location however is the exception. Once we got here after leaving Magic Mountain we waited 10 minutes beforesomeone could show up to the stand. We had to ask if we were supposed to ?seat ourselves? to which we were told: ?No but yes,please take a seat right here in front of us? mind you there was 3 workers and about 4 families eating (meaning the restaurantwas DEAD). We then asked for crayons (customary for them to give you crayons for the kiddos to color and keep them busy). Wewere given 2 crayons from the package and were told ?crayons are provided upon request and even then we only give them 1 soconsider yourselves lucky because they end up breaking them and throwing them.? Surprising they were very quick to judge andautomatically put our son in a category with other children who probably misbehave. We stayed because we had absolutely nochoice but to eat (we were seated and our son made himself comfortable). If you can avoid coming here, I?d recommend that. Thefood is great! The service at THIS particular location was BEYOND horrible. I think someone at McDonald?s would embarrass theirstaff by the manners they have. Before leaving it seemed Laura the server was very passive aggressive. While she was notdirectly rude to us, she kept arguing with a fellow server about tips not being distributed properly and arguing about how anymore customers that came in would go upstairs instead of the bottom unless they were ?nasty?. This was very obvious Read more

Excellent food and service! Second time here and definitely not our last. We came here for breakfast one day just randomly. So... glad we did! Food is dress and made to order! Laura was very a tentative and catered to our needs. If you love bbq this placeis great Read more

Nice welcome surprise from the usual choices! This was my second visit to a Black Bear Diner...wish they opened one closer to... my home in South Orange County! Don't think about it...just do it! Laura at this location was amazing! Very attentive andconversational in the best ways! Read more
