I ordered the steak and eggs 14.99 special. It was really good. I came to try the special and was expecting it to be blah. But it was one of the best breakfast I had given it was a special. The inside is clean. I got seated right away. The servers or nice and friendly.
I that my food so fast I didn’t take a picture. lol. Steak medium, eggs over medium and hash browns and whole wheat toast. This was my order. I don’t know about anything else’s in the menu bur this is definitely worth it.

Enjoyed an early breakfast here. Excellent biscuits and gravy. My older son tried the volcano – very good! The younger enjoyed Mac and cheese with bacon. I really like that they serve their entire menu all day. Service was attentive and professional. The decor is charming. We enjoyed our first time at this restaurant.

Good food. Great place to take the kids. The prices at this location is a hit higher than some of the other locations. However, Bacon was too salty on my breakfast plate.

Update to my previous review.
Came back here for Mothers Day despite my reluctance to return here after our previous visit (check previous posts).
Here’s the current tea- service and food quality has definitely IMPROVED since my last two visits. I’m bummed because I wrote down the name of our drink host and server but can’t find it. Let’s just say they were light years better than our last server (see previous post) who still works here but I also took notice that the particular server we had issue with before was giving great customer service follow up to everyone around us.
I believe staffing is still an issue- we walked in and it was not crowded (we went the week before Mothers Day) on a Sunday. We were seated right away- it was giving me a repeat of our last visit…a bit of a wait for service as I noticed our previous server being the ONLY server for the entire restaurant.
About 10-15 minutes in, a new face came and took/served us our drink orders and was very pleasant. Receiving food was still a wait until I noticed our drink server talk to staff and a new face emerged and took care of us. We ordered specialty burgers from a limited menu and we were pleasantly surprised.
The food came out in less than 30 minutes hot and fresh and seasoned well.
A true step above from previous experiences.

I recently dined at Black Bear Diner located at 5750 Christie Ave, Emeryville, CA 94608, and had a great experience. This is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, offering a large menu with plenty of options. One of the best things about this place is that you can customize your meal—just tell them how you want it, and they’ll make it happen.
The food here is always good. I personally love the sausage gravy and biscuits—one of the best I’ve had. Their steak and eggs are also really tasty, and the veggie omelette is a great choice if you want something hearty but fresh. My wife ordered the French toast, and I got to try it—delicious! Everything we’ve had here has been solid, and our kids enjoy eating here too.
The service is excellent—the waitresses are friendly, helpful, and very attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, making it a great place to just sit, talk, and enjoy a meal. It’s never too busy to get your food at a decent time, and the prices are very reasonable.
There’s plenty of parking, and the diner is conveniently located near shopping stores, which makes it a great stop while running errands. If you’re in the Emeryville area and looking for a good place to eat, I definitely recommend checking out Black Bear Diner.

My chocolate chip pancakes were fluffy and sweet. Great service. The place looks like it was filmed in Twin Peaks.

The food was delicious, but I should’ve gotten my steak medium instead of medium well because it was a little tough. The biscuits were the size of my fist. They were fluffy and soft, just the way I like them. I’ll be back!

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.

This review is for corporate and anyone that’s has the power to do something, on 11/27/25 around noon my friend and I went to this restaurant, for me the food was really good and the service is amazing, but the manager on duty that day is something else, he was treating the employees like garbage, and talking to them with no respect, I saw that the dishwasher guy accidentally dropped some plates to the floor and this “manager” He threatened the dishwasher, telling him that if he did it again, he would be fired. If he treats the dishwasher like that, he’ll do the same to the other employees. It would be good if the corporation did something about this. This person should be removed from his position. I’m a manager in some where else, and that’s not how you treat team members.
