Reviews for Black Bear Diner Sparks in Sparks, NV

Probably the worst Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had. They are always kind of hit-and-miss, but this was awful. I ordered for... delivery. 1: There was no lid on green beans, when I removed the food tray from bag, green bean juice spilled out over all theother food, esp the prime rib. Green bean flavored meat, gross! 2: The bacon in green beans is RAW. Gross! 3: Stuffing came outof a box, not homemade. 4: Pumpkin pie tastes like KFC mashed potatoes & gravy and cinnamon. It's even BROWN like KFC gravy!Nasty! Conveniently, KFC is next door to the diner. They must have run out of pumpkin and ran next door for the mashedpotatoes/gravy. 5: Why do you put the corn muffin with the salad? I'm glad I didn't ask for salad dressing or it would have beencornbread and salad soup! On a positive note, the corn muffin and the mashed potatoes and gravy were good. After I added a LOTof seasoning to cover the green bean flavor, the prime rib was tender, and I could barely taste the bean flavor. Read more

Loved the atmosphere, and the food was delicious! We had breakfast at dinner time then came back next morning and ordered from... the breakfast and lunch menu. We had a pleasant experience. My husband really loved the fish! Pictures below ???? Read more

When I was living in AZ, I've always wanted to go into a Black Bear a diner, but I never got a chance to. On Saturday afternoon... I was craving a patty melt and some sweet potato fries. That is where I came across this one in Sparks, ordered through Googlefor pickup. At first I was nervous to step in by myself, since some employees at other restaurants can be awkward when peoplearen't in a group. But as soon as I walked into the building there were two other groups of families in line, while someone wasbeing helped at the counter. Before it was my turn in line I was greeted by two wonderful young ladies who both asked me if Iwas waiting for a to-go order. Once I let them know my name on the order they immediately assisted me. It just felt so welcomingto go in and know that the staff feel comfortable with each other that they treat customers with such importance. Read more

First let me say that when you go for breakfast make sure you get a waitress named Jessen - she is a breath of fresh air! She... was so pleasant and could have served me dirt and I wouldn't have cared, maybe I would have, but she was so nice. Anyway, thefood was great and it didn't take forever to get our order. The coffee hot and fresh - very important for a diner! When I'm inSparks again I'll be back. Read more
