Black Bear Diner Pasadena

"Good food and great atmosphere. It looks like an expensive restaurant, but it is reasonably priced. Our area has a lot of restaurants now, and I hope they can make it over the long run. It's worth a visit."

"My husband and I had an amazing breakfast at BBD. Windy, our server, was outstanding and we will definitely request her each and every time we dine at this location. The Huckleberry Mimosa was the bomb and the pecan sweet cream pancakes were so delicious!!"

"Good, diner, good prices, very descent food, definitely a must go if you've never been. I had the Chicken fried steak. It was was excellent. Not traditional, but very good, I would recommend ordering. Hashbrowns were a bit lacking in flavor and depth (too thin). Eggs were nicely cooked (sunny side up). A bit small portion for three eggs. I did not like the biscuits they are not typical biscuits. They were fluffy, moist, and very bread-y. Nothing like a flaky/salty/crispy biscuits. It was a really good piece of bread, but a bad biscuit."

"We visited here for the first time. We went around 12 noon. There was a 20-minute wait for 3 of us, but we ended up being seated in half the time. We had a server tend to us rather quickly. I did let her know that it was our first time, and so she gave us a menu tour, which we appreciated. The menus are unique. They look like a newspaper. I ended up getting the chicken and waffle with a side of country gravy, my husband ordered the dinner meatloaf with green beans and onion rings and it came with a choice of soup or salad to start with and a corn bread muffin. Our daughter had a cheese pizza, fries, and apple juice from the kids' menu. Our server brought her apple juice in a small small cup because she said the kids' size was really small, so we appreciated that. My waffle was good, but the chicken strips were a little too salty for my taste. My daughter liked her food, and my husband's meatloaf was delicious. We ordered an apple cobbler for dessert, and that was ok. They didn't have ice cream, so we couldn't get it a la mode, so that was a bummer. Overall, the experience was not bad and the prices were average. We'll visit again."
