Visited February 28 2026. See my receipt as always.

I ordered the hobo omelete with a side of biscuits and gravy. HUGE portions! The omelete was overflowing with bacon and ham. The biscuits and gravy were tasty!

I am only about 130 pounds so most of this was to go and share it with my boyfriend.

They have a good menu with alot of specials. Casual and comfortable atmosphere! They also have beer and wine and other drinks.

I wanted to get a banana creme pie to go but they were out of them.

Sandra waited on me and she was delightful! Friendly and hard working staff!

Bring your appetite because the portions are huge!

Convenient off of highway 5 with plenty of parking. Definitely recommend!

Great food and service. Nice and cool atmosphere. Was 111F outside and it was very pleasant temperature inside, very clean and well organized.

The food was fresh and hot, fries were freshly cooked and so it was the burger. Great size portions. Five star service!- the ketchup bottle was almost empty (could tell by the sound) and the lady who served me (unfortunately can’t remember her name) promptly brought me a new ketchup bottle without even being asked, definitely great service.

Took chocolate cake to go which was really tasty too.

Im not local and not sure how is the usual service daily but that was really exceptional service.

We went to the Willows California black bear and Sandra was our server. She was so awesome because we have dietary restrictions and she went above and beyond and helped out so much. And she was friendly and smiling and more helpful than most servers. We appreciated her so much!!

Food: Amazing and very generous portions.

Price: Fair, especially once you realize what you’re actually getting for what you pay.

Service: Very friendly, interactive, and fun staff. Incredible manners and just fabulous people.

Ambiance: It’s delightful, rustic, quaint, like a lodge plucked from a time the world has sadly lost.

It has become a family tradition stopping here on the way home from taking the kids to see their grandparents.

Everything from the staff to the environment has that old timey “we are here to take care of you” vibe, like a 1950s diner where everyone knows your name.

We are always stuffed and the food is always incredible. Here’s a picture so you can see the burger I got, which was amazing!

My wife said it was ridiculous

We both got prime rib on Friday. It was pricey and thin. But tasty enough. Potatoes, mashed, were delicious. Veggies roasted and hot. Had to reheat the prime rib as it was cool.
Price for two and one tea $70 ish with taxes and tip. Service is good. I’d recommend other food than prime rib here. Spend that kind of money on a better cut elsewhere. I recommend the restaurant as I’ve eaten there multiple times. Chef and staff work hard.

Sandra is the best!! Doordash messed up my order, and when I called about it, she took extra good care of us and even delivered what was left out! Talk about some amazing service! For as long as I can remember, Sandy is the heart of black bear! If you get a chance go see her for lunch! We appreciate you!! ❤️

Food and service is exceptional. Staff is very friendly and my Bacon Cheeseburger was out of this world. Prices are awesome comparatively to other restaurants. It doesn’t get better than this

The staff is the best part of this place.

Amazing! 10 stars ⭐️

We had a group of over 20 people come in after a large event at the raceway. They were able to accommodate us last minute, and provided excellent service. Sandra was our main server, but the entire team was on point for such a large last minute walk in.

Sad to say I had high hopes for Thanksgiving dinner at blackbear diner Which ended up being the worst meal I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Two of us had the prime rib dinner, Two Had the turkey dinner and one Ordered the macaroni and cheese. The Loaded potato soup had a metallic salty taste that reminded me of instant mashed potatoes. The four of us that had the stuffing asked to have it removed from the table because of the smell and the chemical taste. It tasted as if it had been sitting on the shelf for years. The prime rib was mediocre, warm and tough. The mashed potatoes were lukewarm with a white gravy. Turkey dinners seemed halfway decent except for the stuffing and the macaroni and cheese was cold and like something you would’ve bought From the deli at Walmart. Overall, for the other cost $167 I would’ve been much happier going to Denny’s and spending half the amount. So very disappointed in blackbear diner in Willows California.

Sandra is amazing and always kind. Generous and attentive to not only your needs regarding your meal, but your needs as a person. A simple hug and smile turns the day around and she knows how to do that.
