Black Bear Diner - Downey

Turkey was dry. I ordered the same dish at the Long Beach location and this one did not come out the same. I didn't give a low star rating, because the service when I pick up my meal was great. (But placing the order over the phone was difficult, that girl just did not know what she was doing. Look and study the menu girl! You should know your stuff, not place me on hold for every question) My turkey was a ticker cut at the long Beach location, which I liked, and the bread was alot better. At this location, as you can see in my photos, its a real thin cut. So I'm giving a 4 star for effort. Not for the food but for effort. My take out included a mini brownie which I thought was nice. Its the thought that counts because the brownie was dry as hell. Didn't even finish it. No complaints about portion, as other reviews had mentioned. Huge portions. Just wish it was better tasting food. Sorry owner, I will most likely stick to the long Beach location even though you are closer. I know you seem to be responsive when it comes to reviews, so therefore its a 4 star for the effort.

Delicious food with big portions that make it worth their price! The food is delicious, the staff is accommodating nice, and the price is good compared to the big portions they give you! I would say if going with someone else, get something to share see if that fills you up. I got VERY full with the Chips Fish that I got. They also have A LOT of options. Everything is served all day, breakfast, lunch, diner. Really a lovely place. Will come here again. P.S. They are following social distancing rules very well.

The atmosphere is amazing as well as the food. I got the biscuits and gravy and they did not let me down. The service was really great as well! check them out!

Average food kinda expensive wait on Sunday mornings is long try Pops next block over

We had to wait just a couple of minutes to be seated. Our server was nice, took our drink order and then a different server took our food order. Everyone was happy with their food. I had the meatloaf, husband (birthday boy), son-in-law both had steak dinner, granddaughter had a beary pancake, and our daughter had eggs Benedict. We got the birthday boy a scrumptious banana cream pie. It was empty and quiet when we arrived but getting busy when we left.
