Had a great lunch here on Sept 29th. We stopped and the front staff were happy to see us. Bobby our server was working super hard and served us well.
I had the meatloaf which was lovely and my wife had a salmon salad which she also liked. Would recommend stopping in here if in the area. Portions are great too at very reasonable prices !

We had breakfast at Black Bear Diner and everything was excellent. The food was great, fresh, and satisfying. What truly made the experience special was our server, Josephine. Her service is absolutely amazing. She is fast, has an incredible memory, and always greets Us by name, which makes us feel valued and welcomed.
Josephine consistently goes above and beyond for her guess. She pays close attention to every detail, anticipates our needs before we even have to ask, and always make sure everything is perfect. Her positive attitude and strong work ethic show in everything she does. You can tell she truly cares about her customers and takes pride in providing outstanding service.
She makes us feel right at home every time we visit. Her conversation is warm and genuine, and her professionalism truly stands out. Josephine is truly a master at her craft and an asset to this restaurant. We always look forward to coming back because of her. Highly recommended!

Service was great but the food and experience was terrible. Over 21 bucks for 2 eggs 2 slices of bacon and hash browns because I have celiac disease and they would not change out pancakes for hash browns. Taking advantage of my financially because of the disease i have was just an extra blow at the end after i went to pay. Then when I got the hash browns they tasted like cooking oil and were terrible. Honestly the worst hash browns I ever had and thats the real reason why i am writing this. I’m not one to complain or say anything so I will just post this. The service by the waiter was great.

We love eating at Black Bear Diner. The food is always great and the service is excellent. We are visiting from out of town for thanksgiving and staying at a hotel. We ordered the family Holiday Turkey Dinner online for delivered. When the order arrived, a few items were missing. They went above and beyond to fix the order and quickly delivered the missing items and threw in a few pies for the troubles.

Tasty foods in a large portion. It could feed two person easily. our waitress, Kim was really nice, friendly and informative. great location and atmosphere.
I always wanted to try BB diner but never had the opportunity to do it although it is next to my home. I’m happy stopped by at Merced.

This is the Huckleberry Lemonade from Black Bear Diner in Merced! I was a little sad that it was a little bit of false advertising since the picture had actual berries in the drink, but there was none in my actual cup Oh well haha It was an okay drink! Nothing crazyyyyy special, but it was still good haha The food was pretty good! I got my free meal, which came with pancakes, bacon, and eggs! It was a big portion! We also got the tri-tip meal, which was also pretty big! I feel like the meat was a little disappointing and low quality sadly 🙁 You could probably find other places with better meat. The shrimp was pretty good! The mashed potatoes and fries were good too. The service was super great, so shoutout to the nice Hispanic waitress who is always super sweet!

To bad i can’t update on my reviews but this morning i order a cali chicken sandwich and a California omelet . The sad thing is that my food was cold on delivery. The potatoes were dry and cold. Eggs were also dry. The chicken on the California sandwich was burnt. This is not the first time that black bear did this. Who ever is checking the food to go out needs to do a better job!!! Hopefully this will be my last time getting good from here. P.s. their prices are way too high for what they serve

Im not the biggest fan of black bear. This visit in particular was the worst. SERVICE: We didn’t get greeted at the door, it took longer than it should’ve for someone to seat us (my mom &I) And the waitress was not very attentive, she seemed like she was always in a rush, and just didnt give a welcome vibe. FOOD: I’ve never been a fan of their menu, (but maybe thats just me) . They dont have a value menu like dennys, which is ok, but feels way overpriced. I got 1 sweet waffle, 2 eggs, side of garlic bread, and a vanilla cold brew for almost $30. My mom got the chicken fried steak which wasnt bad, but not worth getting again. Overall I will only go here if I have to for a family lunch

The food was decent. I love that they offer bottomless tea. Service was good and friendly, and checked in on us when a crying child was nearby (we were fine with the noise and didn’t need to be reseated). Not the best food I ever had, but a decent place to go.
