“ We're lucky to have an affordable three meal restaurant here in Sonoma like Black Bear Diner. All my meals here have been consistent. The theming is cute and the restaurant is always clean and tidy. Service is friendly. I also am appreciative of BBD being open on holidays. I also love their huckleberry lemonade and chocolate cream pies! Freaking delicious!!! ”
“ This place was just right in front of our hotel! The outside of the restaurant look inviting! The sausage biscuits I had was the best biscuits I even had. The sausage had this distinct smoke grilled taste! So good! The server was well rounded about the menu, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend ”
“ Stopped at Black Bear Diner for lunch a few weeks ago with my boyfriend. If you've never been to Black Bear before, it's kind of like an upgraded Denny's. Their breakfast menu is served all day, so I ended up getting 2 pancakes, sausage, bacon and an egg. It was delicious and filling. My boyfriend got one of their sandwiches that's served with a side of soup. Their A/C was blasting above our booth, so we were freezing cold! ”
“ Great location and staff! Big portion sizes, haven't had a dish I didn't enjoy, and really love their breakfasts and desserts. It's got a great feel to it, very cozy and familiar, and seems to always have a steady flow of people. It can get pretty busy though -especially in the mornings- which adds to the wait time so make sure you account for that- but it's worth it. Looking forward to coming back. Chocolate cake with huckleberry ice cream was memorable. Can't go wrong with whatever looks good to you on the breakfast menu. Can't personally vouch for the other stuff but I'd bet it's all good. ”
