Every time I’m in Gilroy I stop by Black Bear diner for a meal The staff are really nice and our tables are always clean. They have cute merch and a relaxed atmosphere. 10/10!
Edit: Have come back to this location multiple times just to see the really sweet staff. Love eating here ❤️

The food remains good. They haven’t changed the sauce lol.
However, it takes forever to order and get the food.
Maybe they need more employees.

This was the 2nd time I came here with my family. The first time we sat down and this same manager at 845pm was changing a lite bulb over our table. We all thought it was awkward because dust started to fall from the ceiling fan. That same night he started yelling at the cooks in the back, making it really obvious. Luckily that night it was a Friday night and it wasn’t packed.
Today we tried to get seated and this time he helped us get seated but was really rude, loud and felt empowered. Not sure if he feels as its a power situation or he’s just prejudice against Mexicans/Latin American people
When our my husbands food came out. I happen to ask the server the man with the purple shirt is he the manager? He said yes. We both asked if he’s normally always mad and treats workers and costumers bad? The Mexican sever said yes. Sometimes he’s happy and sometimes he’s mad at everyone.
The server was awesome however the man with the purple shirt walks around loud, not friendly and just made our dinner experience bad.
I’ll still go back because the food was good and the servers are nice but I’ll try to avoid the man with the purple shirt. Horrible Horrible customer service

I had the BLTA, lol. Which i enjoyed. Our server was great. He was attentive and has a genuine smile. My husband, and our 2 adult children has a nice quiet evening together. We celebrated a heavenly birthday. We were able to reflect, talk and hear our conversations. We enjoyed our time there very much. Thank you Jesus, and thank you Black Bear.

There was quite a number of people wanting when we arrived but we only had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table. After we ordered the food came quickly. The food was quite good and the portions large. My wife and I are definitely going back. Excellent overall experience

The food is decent and hearty. The decorations are very cute. We got very full with the dinner sets. Shame that we couldn’t have one of the pies for being too full. There were a lot of options on the menu and I would love to try them all. For a chain restaurant I didn’t expect this level of uniqueness. Would totally come here again.

Came in for brunch on a Saturday with the wife and kids. It was pretty busy but the wait was only about 25 minutes. When we were seated we were greeted quickly.
Our server brought our drinks out really quickly. We order two kids meals and it was way to much food. Normally when we go places and only order one kid meal for them to share it’s not enough, so we ordered 2 and it was way to much. Kids meals are huge!
My wife got the tri tip dip and it was delicious. I ordered the county friend steak breakfast and it was perfect as well.
Definitely great food and service. The cost was actually a lot less expensive than anticipated as well.

It’s a bit run down and the music is always WAY too loud. Service is ok but it used to be a lot better, the people used to be warm and friendly but they seem to be doing by rote these days. It’s really due for an overall refresh. The food is okay but it’s pretty obvious it’s mad produced and heated up. The music is too loud for conversation. The tables and booths are old and worn.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere of the diner. It felt like an old rustic cabin, eating home made food. Great service, they speak English and Spanish. If I were to recommend someone a diner with good service and good food, I’d recommend Black Bears

Very warm, relaxed atmosphere. Great place for comfort food that tastes good. The portions are big enough to split and well priced. The pancakes I had were so delicious and tasted home-made. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I would go back for sure.
