Black Bear Diner Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I ordered the black bear claw, the menu said "made fresh each day" but I think they meant they opened a new package for each order, and from the taste of it not many people ordered it! Stale , dry and totally yucky, not to mention it has THE most calories on the menu, 1800+ for a single Danish! The only reason I gave 3 stars is the rest of the tables orders were ok and the waitress was really nice! She took the bear claw off the check no problems

    The Menu is rediculous, everything from pancakes to fish tacos, portions are huge and is a good price, I suggest the chicken wrap...yum!

    Breakfast is awesome! Probably the best pancakes you can get. Super fluffy, sweet, and delicious! Portions are huge and hearty. I would rate this a 5 star if it was cleaner... Bathrooms are as bad as a dirty gas station and everything is sticky. There are remains of food splatter on widows, curtains, seat cushions, etc... So if you are like me, that messes with the overall flavor of your food. We still come here for breakfast, but it would be a lot more often if it was kept clean.

    This place rocks! We had the corned beef hash and eggs with home fries and was served a platter covered wall to wall with food. The hash was excellent! Ordered a side of their spicy homemade breakfast sausage patties and it was AWESOME, the best I've ever had ANYwhere! We are definitely looking forward to our return to PHX Metro to experience them again!

    Being out of town visitors for a few days,we've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner in this restaurant. The service was great every time, the food was really good and the servings extremely generous. The "little less" tri-tip dinner was plenty of food and the tri-tip was done medium rare as requested. This is one of our "go to" restaurants when we are in the area.

    I tried the *NEW* (or at least it's marked that way) Bear Claw French Toast. Holy cannoli, it was good! I'm STILL full over 4 hours later and I didn't even finish the entire thing. My husband had a meat lovers omelette and devoured it. He wasn't a huge fan of the hash browns (he orders them burnt and they never come out that way - I suppose the kitchen is just trying to cover their behinds lol) but that's not a deal breaker for this place. Seriously, HUGE portions. Fast service on a weekday morning is a big plus!

    Others have told us that this is THE place for breakfast in the west valley. After trying several times to get in - there is ALWAYS a line - we finally had a short wait and were seated (our first time). All in all, the food was good though not overly exceptional. The service and speed, however, were great. The food was a tad pricey but only a touch. A good experience but no way would it be worth any extended waiting period. 5-10 minutes? Go for it. More than that, pass.

    There are two yelp* pages for this BBD, so you know it must be double good. We stop by several times a year for breakfast. After some recent travels, I assure you they serve some of the best chain restaurant orange juice in the west. And yes, this hungry bear of a restaurant is a chain, growing from the baby bear at Mount Shasta City, to a grizzly giant with dozens of locations in the west. Our farmer's scramble was a well-assembled collection of agricultural delights, including no spuds and a side of fruit. Our oatmeal arrived with an orchard of fruits and nuts to be added at our convenience, a tiny pitcher of milk from a real cow, plus brown sugar to taste. Arrive early or late. The parking lot is practically illegally small and you will be parking out in the woods then waiting a long time if you arrive with the crowds.

    I love this place! First off, the bear decor everywhere is so charming. Their food is everything I look for in a good meal: hearty, delicious, comforting. The chicken-fried steak meal is perfection! And anytime you walk into a restaurant that has their pies on display, you know they have some good pie!! Just know that the portions of food are very large so you'll probably be safe to split your pie with someone. Additionally, the staff is very friendly and attentive.

    I used to love eating Breakfast at Black Bear. The lunch and Dinner items i've had there were just so so. However, their is no quality control over what they serve, at least at breakfast time. They are so focused on being fast that the last 4 times i've gone there for breakfast i've been disappointed. Everything seems either over cooked or undercooked. Hash browns under cooked, eggs over cooked, toast slightly burnt on the edges, etc. I think they have all their stoves set on maximum temp. Sad. Oh and another thing. How is it that if my food arrives in 5 minutes that my toast, eggs, and potatoes are barely warm? The manager needs to inspect the food before it's sent out. It's just not very good anymore.

    Like going to grandmas house. This place is warm cozy and very inviting. Upon entering you are greeted right away with a smile. Cozy booths or a sit at the long counter. Samm our waitress greeted us with in second of being seated by our hostess. She went over all the food sprcial and took our drink order.upon bringing our beverage selection she asked kindly are you ready. And boy a good selection of food was present in the menu. Food arrived within ten minutes hot and delicious. The sweat cream pancakes are definatly a signature plate here their big breakfast is garganchuan. Great sandwiches and dinner choices. If yoy arrive on a week end morning get their early or come after 11 the place is packed.

    We were seated promptly. Kelsey immediately took our drink order and delivered our drinks equally fast. I had the Volcano and my son had an omelet. The food was excellent. Kelsey was attentive. They have some diet/healthy options on their menu, which I like to see. This is my first time at this location. I have been to their Glendale location many, many times. Great food and service. The prices are reasonable, as well.

    Had breakfast here while visiting the area for a football game. Looked up good places to eat, and BBD was the one that seemed to top the list. Definitely a good place to eat...we arrived at around 10:15am and got lucky and just so happened to beat the bfast crowd. We were greeted by the host, seated quickly, and our server made some recommendations. Apparently they are known for their chicken fried steak, but never have really been a fan of that particular item, so I opted for the corned beef hash and eggs. Wifey had the pancakes and eggs, and I got the authentic corned beef hash (not from the can, they say...and they are very serious about that). It was actual corned beef, not really the "hash from the can" that I was expecting. It was good, but I actually like the unhealthier stuff better. The pancakes were nice and soft and very good, even though she opted for the grainier, healthier ones...but it wasn't bad at all. A lot of the reviews said the portions were pretty huge, but I didn't find them to be that big. I was able to finish almost all of mine, and had some of my wife's as well. Of course, we had our daughter with us too, but she's only 2 and she doesn't eat much. So all-in-all, very good value for the portions we got. The coffee was pretty good, had 2 cups black and didn't need anything added to it. Service was very good; quick and friendly. When it got busy it was a little harder to get their attention, but they eventually got to us without too much of a wait.

    Love the breakfast here! Tastes like a home cooked meal. Portions are huge! Usually have leftovers to take home, the prices are great, the servers are extremely friendly that give your great recommendations! Can't go wrong here for breakfast. I pick this place over Denny's, ihop, and village in any day of the week!

    Service and food at this location are excellent. My last visit was on Easter Sunday. For it being a holiday and the restaurant being plenty busy, my sister and I waited less than 25 minutes to be seated. This went the same for the time we placed our order and received our food. If you want a better alternative to Denny's or IHOP, come to Black Bear Diner.

    I was completely blown away by the portion sizes at Black Bear Cafe! My fiancée and I each ordered something different to share (see pics), and we could have easily shared just one of the meals and had our appetites fully sated. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Overall had a great experience, even on return visits!

    I love breakfast and this place won me over too many times. The Bear's choice breakfast is my favorite with the Belgian waffles, biscuit, 2 eggs, and 2 spicy sausage links. The coffee is nothing to brag about but always hot and fresh. The menu selection is big and the prices are reasonable for the huge portions. The servers are friendly and helpful at all times. I love coming here.

    I frequent the bell and dysart locations and this was the first time it was "eh". The Bigfoot chicken fried steak and eggs are always large and more than enough. The gravy this time seemed watery and the toast was half burnt and half bread. The other meal of a bacon and cheese stuffed burger looked awesome but we had to return because it was requested with no onion. The replacement was nothing more than a regular burger with bacon and cheese. The bear claws which are usually nice and hot was cold and was missing its butter, and some bites felt like I was chewing dough. It was busy on a Friday night and the place seemed understaffed. After wards when most of the dinner rush was over our waitress barely made any rounds to check up on us and did not get one single refill for our soda and tea. They were nice to remove my date's burger from the bill. Because of our frequent dine ins and our bear rewards card the bill came to 40 cents. If you go to this place and want good service you will have to wait that weekend morning for about 45 minutes when the star employees are working.

    Give me 4 slices of thick -sliced bacon, actually cook my eggs over medium like I ask and have butter coverage all over my toast, you get 4 stars! Really Simple... Nah seriously, this is a good breakfast, solid contender. You can get Hash-browns or Home Fries. The Home Fries are always my first choice anywhere and here they get topped with this onion-pepper mixture after -cooking which I am not a big fan of though. So, I ask them to leave it off and then request the potatoes be cooked crisply- about half the time does it come out right, but that is OK, when it actually gets done it makes it a 5 star awesome breakfast! Took my brother and his family to breakfast and they really liked it. My brother got a 'Joe Bear Scramble' which he liked and was plated so appealingly, the lady at the table next to us saw his and ordered this for herself. SIL got the HUGE Chicken Fried Steak and really liked it, she is finicky so this is good. 7YO Nephew got the Cinnamon Roll French Toast (4 pcs) which he liked. But, we had to order him a side of bacon because it does not come with any meat. Hard to justify $10 plus breakfast for a 7year old but oh well, I stole a bacon leaving him 3 pieces which he gobbled up! Suggestion, half the order and add bacon as another option, the pieces are large enough to make this a solid plate for women or kids. The interior is on old Denny's and needs to be refreshed soon and parking can get tricky after 9:30am on a Sunday. So, if you are in town for NASCAR or Spring Training at Goodyear Ballpark, this location is right off I-10 (Southwest side). Go here or to Mimi's (Northwest side)) for breakfast, but please, stay in Goodyear and keep businesses thriving so I have a job. Thanks :) To get 5 stars I would say ramp up the home fries a bit, they are missing something but I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe use fresh onion without the bell-peppers (their "mix" seems to be pre-made frozen prepped kind) and cook with the potatoes to caramelize versus heaping them on after in a wet mess? Dunno, but probably. Enjoy!

    Our waitress was a grouchy bitch, and there was no fresh OJ, but other than that it was OK. Loved the sign at the register that read "No Open Carry" of weapons. Hahaha! I was concealing, anyway...

    The first time I came I waited 30-40 minutes on a busy Nascar morning. I had that morning the yummiest fluffiest blueberry sweet cream pancakes & loved them. Forgot all about the wait & returned on another busy Sunday a.m. and had the biscuits & gravy. Totally worth the 20 minute wait. Yum! The biscuits are ginormous fluffy perfection. The gravy was thick with sausage & just great. The third time was another 15 minute wait on this 2012 president's day Monday. The parking lot was busy but not like on the weekends. There were some empty booths/tables but this time the wait was not worth the breakfast even a little. I ordered the "special" and was sorely disappointed. It was the chili omelet served with their usual potato & bread choice and the omelet left me sad faced. The chili was not good. It was missing spice & a very basic but necessary spice (salt). Just tasteless, bland blah! The server Kathy whom we've had previously and rocked was over sat by the host stand so the service sucked too. Bummer too because it wasn't the server but the hosts. I'm sure she can handle her share of tables but it was one after another no staggering. Obvious training issue there that I hope at some point they get straightened out.
