| - We are locals here (part of the year here, part elsewhere). We eat out every single day. We recognize that the restaurant business is a difficult and tricky business to achieve success in. We eat in divey out of the way places and in high end restaurants (think Hank's in GVR). It is with this in mind we write reviews.
We "discovered" the Black Bear Diner accidentally and we are very glad we did. To be clear, this is in the "Diner" class of restaurants and as such is terrific. It started in Shasta California and now is a chain of 80 diners. It is what it purports to be - a terrific diner and nothing more . . . comfortable seating, great service, good food at very reasonable prices.
The menu is extensive with an incredible array of choices. The choices are typical of diners - great breakfast selections (pancakes, waffles, eggs, omelets,chicken fried steak, massive biscuits, salads, large burgers, sandwiches, etc.), substantial lunch and dinner choices. Portions are big and filling.
On this visit, I had a 3 egg omelette and seasoned potatoes with a huge biscuit is big enough for two meals. My wife had the Shasta Scramble which was equally large. Tasty and plentiful! I'm a big eater and I still took home 1/3 of my breakfast.
We have and will continue to go back . . . . and will bring a very healthy appetite with us.
