Every Wednesday we have our morning BNI meetings here for the past 3 weeks. Manny is our waiter and he is top notch with our needs as there are around 20 or more of us having breakfast together. I had the veggie omelet and it was great topped with the mama chipotle sauce. I suggest adding more variety of creamers like pumpkin spice and hazelnut. Great place to host a large breakfast meeting.

Not sure why I avoided coming into this place for as many years as I have. Glad I finally decided to stop in. This chain hails from rural Northern California, it has a bear and Shasta Mountain Lodge theme. Knotty pine and logs. Embroidered mountain motifs in the booths. It specializes in huge portions of freshly prepared diner food, fit for a starving lumberjack.
I had a two egg scramble with mixed vegetables that clearly was made from a lot more than just two eggs. What a deal. That veggie scramble is the highlight of the plate, all very fresh veggies- spinach, tomato, peppers, onions and avocado, fresh and crunchy mixed with scrambled eggs and melted Jack cheese.
The wheat toast came pre-buttered, but with only a hint of butter so I had to ask for more. I asked for shredded style hash brown potatoes expecting them to be hot, buttery and crispy but they’re none of those things. White, soft, lukewarm. Not at all crispy and barely cooked. Forewarned is forarmed, next time I’ll ask for them well done, extra crispy. The server who was running the place basically by himself with the others on break offered great service, super friendly, and when I asked him to take the potatoes back to the kitchen and have them cooked more, he did so with a huge smile.
They have their own custom branded hot sauce, Papa Burn and Mama Burn. All distinct and all delicious.
What a great place to come for a casual, fresh, delicious breakfast. This is a neighborhood jewel.

The breakfast options were amazing.
For the price, the quantity was good.
The place is old, but it’s ok.
The people were welcoming and good service.
It gave a feeling like you are having food at big bear with all the stuff around. I liked the jukebox!
Have to try the other lunch and dinner options sometime soon

The food was prepared relatively quick and fresh. I had the big foot. It tasted like it was just prepared. I would say the quality of the food was good. I really enjoyed the baked potatoe and the chicken fried steak. The onion rings where big and crispy. The plate was big, as I had to take some home. Even when I ate it the next day, it tasted really good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I have been here in 2006 when it had a different name, but I remember they had real orange juice. Today I decided to see if they still have good stuff. I went for breakfast and I ordered the Meat Lover Omelet and ofcourse the fresh orange juice. The Omelet came with bacon, sausage, and Ham. It was very tasty and flavorful. It also came with a side(biscuit with gravy) it cost $35.95.
I also had to come back for lunch and ordered the Tritip dip deluxe style. It came with sourdough bread, the meat, cheese, and the sauteed veggies with fries for $25.99 The server by the name of Bonnie and Juan the cook were perfect duo. I wanted to come back for dinner but they close at 9:00 p.m. but I’m surely gonna comeback next time.

Had breakfast at Black Bear Diner in Tarzana and it was a great experience. I ordered the California Omelet and it was absolutely delicious—fresh avocado, mushrooms, perfectly cooked eggs, and hearty potatoes on the side. Great portion and full of flavor.
Special kudos to Cecille, our waitress—super polite, charming, and made the experience even better with her great attitude and service. Will definitely come back!

I arrived early for an appointment nearby and stopped in for breakfast. As is their credo, BBD provided a massive amount of food, which was decently tasty. The “thick” bacon was more like regular bacon, but they did cook it crispy, as I requested. The server, Cece, was wonderful. I was more than an hour early for my appointment, and she was great about letting me sit there, on my laptop, nibbling through my food. She kept checking in and refilled my drink. She was attentive without being invasive, which is perfect. The place was clean and standard BBD decor. The jukebox was rockin’ it. I could have done without the Fox News on the TV, but at least the sound was down, so as long as I didn’t look at it, it didn’t interfere with my meal. Overall, I was happy with the experience and would visit again if I need a pleasant restaurant experience in the area.
