Black Bear Diner Henderson

The decor is so great. Black bears of every stage of life doing everything there is to do cover the walls. My kids and I loved our food (taco salad, biscuits and gravy, macaroni and cheese, fruit, fries). My husband said his omelet was all right. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful! Definitely a good find on our drive though I wondered when I saw it was attached to a gas station, but really, that's just more convenient. Comments about slow service were unfortunately true. We ordered at 6:35 and hit the road at 7:54. Oh and the free sundaes with kids meals were appreciated by our three :)

Yesterday, I had the experience of dining at Black Bear. I wasn't sure if I was going to be happy or disappointed. Well, I'm a little disappointed. My server Jasmine was kind and attentive to what I the food left me. Thinking twice if this would be my last time wanted. The food left me thinking twice if this will be my last time. The Chicken Fried Steak was delicious well prepared, and the presentation was great. The toast was the way I requested. Now, the omelet was another story. NEVER have I had an inside-out omelet. I'm sure somewhere there's one but not described on the menu. Sliver of spinach two mushrooms pockets of nothing but egg. Total disappointment, to say the least.

My family and I love this place. This weekend, we wanted to try something different, and my sister chose Black Bear Diner based on the good reviews and menu. My sister got the chicken wrap, and I got the volcano pancakes. I loved both! I recommend this place for its good service and great atmosphere.

It was our first time here and the food was good. Portions were big, I could have easily shared it. Service was good and we shall be visiting again soon.

I absolutely loved it Eva and Andrea are the best!!! I have never experienced such good customer service I really recommend coming here. And the food is super scrumptious

We've eaten here quite a few times, great service, the food is always good, great prices with large portions. Family friendly. We've eaten here for breakfast and dinner. Great experience all the time. The waiters are all awesome and very attentive and good at their jobs. Jill is the best waitress. Always very nice and helpful . always clean, and so were the bathrooms. Pictures are from different different visits. So far we have been very pleased with every dish we've ordered and customer service is always outstanding. 5 layers chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was really good, not super sweet even though it looks like it. We all enjoyed it. A must try.

A true gem where everything is cooked to order — fresh, flavorful, and worth the wait. The vibe is classic and welcoming: flip through the jukebox, take in the nostalgic photo walls, and don’t miss the gift shop with thoughtful finds for toddlers and unique take-home items. Our server Elayna provided warm, attentive service that made the experience even better. Big respect to owners and Founders Bruce Dean and Bob Manley for 30 years of dedication. Their passion shows in every detail.

We had brunch here. Pancakes , French toast are delicious. Coffee is great. Scrambled omelettes we loved those.

Black Bear Diner is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always delicious and perfectly seasoned, no matter what I order. Their menu has a great variety, including vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone. The staff is always friendly and provides quick service, making every visit a pleasant experience. Another plus is how clean they keep their bathrooms--something I've noticed every time I've been there. If you're wondering what to try, I highly recommend the Chicken Fried Steak or one of their amazingly crafted sandwiches. You won't be disappointed! Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Black Bear Diner is always a great choice.

I've visited this local place several times, but I think I'll cross it off my list for good. A few weeks back, I brought my out-of-town family, and one person's meal--a chicken sandwich--arrived after everyone else had finished eating. I asked for it to be comped, assuming perhaps it was a new cook's error. On another visit, our host disappeared after seating us, and everything took forever. My meal even made me sick the next day. The last time, my ribs were bland and seemed boiled, if that's even possible. The chicken tenders that came with my meal were charred to inedibility, like "chicken rocks." The green beans, however, were excellent, and the burgers my family ordered were also good, though the rodeo burger was overwhelmed with onions. My fries were fine, but a family member's sweet potato fries were disappointingly soggy and mushy. Despite appreciating the convenience of the location, I doubt I'll return. I shared my dissatisfaction about the chicken, and my meal was comped, but there was no acknowledgment of the inedible sweet potato fries. Instead of dessert, we left and went elsewhere to end our meal. Also, whenever I order biscuits and gravy, there's never enough gravy, and I always forget to ask for more until it's too late. It's frustrating because I do enjoy their biscuits and gravy.

Had breakfast here with a few friends. Food snd service was good, the ambience and the decor was nice and clean. I hate to say this about this place was it was one notch better than Denny's. Just take your orders then drop the check. Not much interactions with the server

My kids and I loved this place. We wanted breakfast for dinner recently and went in. Our server was really assertive and kind. She took great care of us at a decent non-rushed pace. We ordered combo dishes with pancakes, eggs, fruit and meat. Each of us edited what we were having and they all came out great. We also all had hot cocoa with whipped cream for a warm drink. The pancakes are large in size and delicious. I requested my hash browns more well done and they came out great. The diner itself is clean and spacious. It is a comfortable low key diner. We love this place.

Server Nicole was awesome and boss Trina did a great job welcoming us to LV. Four retired old guys ordering breakfast can be frustrating for everybody but Nicole handled everything like a pro! Time for an immediate raise for Nicole and Trina!

Black bear diner has been my over all favorite place to eat for the past 5 years!! It's super chill, amazing decorations! I always see something new that I haven't see before! The food and portions are outstanding! You can't beat it! Staff is always friendly and happy!

Longtime fan of Black Bear Diner because of the quality of food, price, and service. Always have a good experience here as the servers are friendly and attentive. The menu has something for everyone, whether it's all day breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our family came in over the weekend and split between breakfast and dinner! Food was cooked well and the portions are so generous. I had the Grizz which was more than enough food for me. Service from Jody was great, she treated us all really nicely, was attentive to our toddler, and gave us a fantastic experience. Will definitely make our way back here as it's a family favorite.

Not their night. It was Friday, not Too busy, we needed to eat before heading to a show. Service was poor, extra crispy request for the hash browns yielded soggy greasy ones. Toast was limp and barely toasted. Broccoli and the mashed potatoes were barely warm. Waiter noticed that kitchen used cheddar instead of the requested Swiss on the omelet. Ww didn't have time to change it out and kept it. We ate some but not all but when waiter picked up our plates we pointed out the issues and he laughed as he walked away. I called him back and told him this isn't funny. He suddenly got serious and apologized. We generally like Black Bear so hopefully things aren't changing for the worse. Manager came by.... Removed the problem items and apologized. Thank you Eva.

The food was tasty but didn't quite stand out compared to my previous visits. I was surprised to see that the portion sizes have been reduced since my last time here, which is disappointing because they used to be quite generous. On the positive side, the fresh orange juice was fantastic, and I appreciated that the hot and iced coffee is bottomless. Unfortunately, our server wasn't very attentive, so we only ended up with one cup. Overall, it's a solid choice for breakfast, but I hope they consider bringing back their larger portions!

The Mrs & I have a busy day planned & wanted to start with a great meal to hold us over. The service is always good, a friendly knowledgeable staff, & the food is always good. We come here often. However, I must say I was disappointed this morning to see they taped menus onto some of their windows to block the sun. Tacky! C'mon BB, hang up some drapes or repair & replace the ones you had. You're better than this.

We decided to stop in here for breakfast and as always Black Bear does not disappoint with their portion sizes or their amazing staff. We were seated fairly quickly and our waitress came over as soon as we sat down, our drinks were always filled and anytime we needed anything she was there. We had to take 1/2 home since it was so much food. I haven't tried dinner here yet, that's on my list in the future but, I'm sure it's gonna be good too, can't wait to come back.

Juvena was very attentive and kept our glasses filled ! He is a great waiter and very polite.. checked in at just the right times!!

Crowded, but not jam packed like the Belz mall location on a Sunday morning. Service is friendly and fast. The food is so fresh- easily my favorite place to eat these days that can accommodate my stinken food allergies. I literally eat the same thing when I come here- avocado toast on sourdough with scrambled eggs and plain hash browns.

Our large group of 17 people arrived somewhat unexpectedly this evening to dine. Adrian, the manager went above and beyond to accommodate us. He did some shuffling around and worked with his staff to get us all in and fed (well!) within a very reasonable amount of time. We all truly appreciated him. Food was delicious and everyone was complementary of the dishes they had. My salmon was phenomenal. There were also menu items to accommodate our vegetarian diners as well, which was much appreciated. Thanks to Adrian and the staff at Black Bear Diner for their exemplary service this evening.

Had a breakfast there for the first time after redeeming a free offer for new customers. Our server Jessica was excellent and brought things before we even needs to ask for them. The food and atmosphere was excellent, and we will be going here regularly from now on! This diner is what dennys and IHOP should be, and really sets the standard for good food and value. Thank you!

We stopped ordering from this place 5 months ago because the order is NEVER correct. Our order is ALWAYS missing something. Reading comprehension is not a strong point at this restaurant. So tonight, we decided to give it another try. You guessed it. The order was wrong. Done with this place. You can't make this stuff up.

I have freinqinted Black bear diners all over the place, the only location i have been dissappointed with is The Green v alley parkway. I took a friend to get the Salmon. It was Overcooked, dry terrible. Made me look bad for telling him how good it was. My si ster in law had the same experiance there weeks later... The cook needs to go.... Big Dissappointment.....

Great place to have breakfast. Generous portions. Friendly and quick service!!! Definitely recommend the Black Bear Diner for breakfast or lunch!!! I don't know if they have dinner service, but if they do I'm sure it's wonderfull!!!

We had breakfast here for my husbands birthday. All the food was fresh. The service was ok the waiter did spill a drink on my daughter and did not apologize but we know he was very nervous. Other than that it was warm inside and very cozy. I love bears so the decor is one of my faves. Makes u feel like ur in an old town back home somewhere and I love that. Even the guest are friendly and just talk to you right through your meal. Staff is very attentive and any issues they correct immediately. We had breakfast this time and not to mention one free breakfast for the birthday!!! Gotta love a free meal.

Awesome food, huge portions and great prices. Never heard of this chain before, but I've been driving by this place every time I need to pick up something from Trader Joe's. And one of my neighbors also suggested it. Ambiance is sort of like a cabin at Big Bear sort of vibe? I dig it and really like the fact they have a lot of booths for two. Service is great. Shout out to Juan for being a super awesome waiter.

We visit this location frequently and in this time frame we've interacted with the many waitresses/waiter. We've found the most amazing waitress has been EVA!! She is always welcoming, smiling, friendly, double checking orders are correct, bring refills and extra napkins or condiments without having to ask. She's 100% of what all restraints should hold customer service standards to. We've also had Jessica who is also very kind, always checking on us and our orders. Making sure we are satisfied. Just last week we had the pleasure of meeting Brittani who is another waitress we enjoy. The food is always the perfect temperature, their portion sizes are top notch, and we appreciate such a wide variety of options. The overall atmosphere of this location has always been enjoyable. They are constantly busy but always work fast and diligently to keep the flow going.

We did take out my husband ordered myself the stuffed blackberry French toast. It's not your usual bread they used it looked and tasted like a very old and hard pastry. It was such a very big disappointment and my husband's breakfast was not any better his pancakes was falling apart and it was dry. I don't know if I am coming back here for breakfast at least!

On October 6, 2024, my partner and I dined at the Black Bear Diner located at 2751 N Green Valley Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89014. This was our second visit--the first being for breakfast, during which we had a much better experience. During this visit, the service was notably slow due to what our server, Eva, mentioned was a staffing shortage. While the restaurant was busy, it wasn't overwhelmingly so. My partner ordered the breaded fried chicken steak, and I ordered the chicken club. Unfortunately, the fried chicken steak was undercooked, with visible red meat and an unpleasant taste. My chicken club, though more acceptable, did not make up for the issue with my partner's meal. Eva, who provided excellent service throughout, offered to replace my partner's meal. We requested a chicken club in exchange. However, Eva returned to inform us that the manager refused the request, citing a large party that had just arrived. This response left us feeling both disappointed and uncomfortable with how the situation was handled. Eva went above and beyond by only charging us for the two sodas, totaling $4.00, and I left her a $15.00 tip in appreciation of her professionalism and gesture. Despite this, the overall experience was unacceptable. We felt that our concerns were dismissed, and we were treated indifferently by the management. Although I wasn't able to capture a photo of the undercooked chicken in time, I can attest to the fact that it was served in an unsafe condition. While we greatly appreciated Eva's service, the lack of response and care from management was deeply disappointing. Kudos to Eva for her outstanding service, but unfortunately, the experience as a whole was unsatisfactory. 10/09/2024 Follow up: this happened last week, plus I've even sent my concern to their California corporate office via info@blackbeardiner.com as they requested with my information if they so choose to contact me directly but it seem they don't care or have any interest.

Black Bear Diner never disappoints!! Not only is the service always great here but the food quality is always top notch. Another great thing about Black Bear Diner is that you'll never leave hungry!

My husband and I stopped in for brunch on a Sunday. I had a craving for biscuits and gravy. My husband ordered eggs no meat and hash browns. I drank coffee with mine. My husband drank Diet Coke. It was busy. We waited about ten to fifteen minutes for a booth. There was a lag between ordering the beverages and our meals. We had a nice waitress who was friendly and cheerful. We were so hungry I forgot to take photos of our plates of food. The biscuits and gravy were huge. The serving size was enough for two people at best. I couldn't finish it. My husband's eggs no meat with hash browns was plentiful for him. You won't leave hungry so bring your appetite!

I enjoy the food. We usually go there to eat, but this time decided to use Uber for take out. Next time I'll pick it up myself bc by the time it got to me everything was cold. Other than needing to reheat everything bc of that it was all good. I reheated everything but the biscuits and gravy in the air fryer and no one noticed. I ordered the biscuits and gravy for myself, put in in another dish and placed that in the oven for 10 mins and everything was perfect. No sogginess which I was worried about bc the app didn't let me place anything on the side. So I was very happy everything turned out good. The portions are large and I absolutely love how affordable the kids menu is. Usually when dining in I get some type of Benedict and that is ALWAYS delicious. I recommend, but would suggest eating there or picking it up yourself.

I go here several times a week and today I ordered for take out and I'm so disappointed on how my food looks and how my sandwich was made. I added a video of what is supposed to to be a chicken avocado club. I asked for no tomatoes or avocado which they listen to. Just this looks tossed in so careless and it's like I have to build my sandwich

This is our go to for breakfast. I love the scramble & the new breakfast club. Proportions are always over the top! The fresh squeeze OJ is to die for! The service is always amazing. We normally ask for Trina & end up with everything we need plus more! It's hard to find such good attentive service anymore! The atmosphere is upbeat & fun as they sell cool black bear swag & don't forget to grab a bottle of their hot sause! Highly recommend this location!

Oh Black Bear- how I loved you when you came to town waaayyy back in my day when there was only one location in town! We went for some brunch, and all ended up having some breakfast with a side of fries, because it makes sense to have a waffle with some fries to our teen. However, maybe if we do go back for a visit, we'll go earlier and hopefully get better food. We were able to check in and were told it'd be about a 15 minute wait. They took our phone number and name down and we were able to sit inside because they have benches for some seating area. We only waited for about 10 minutes, and we're seated by the hostess. Our sever was so sweet! She checked on us multiple times throughout our entire stay, and she brought us refills without us asking for them. She tried to keep up with us even though the entire restaurant was busy from when we walked in to when we left. The staff was great helping each other out bringing dishes out also so that was great! Now the food wasn't as good as I remember. My pancakes were breaking as soon as I tried to spread the butter. The waffles also were dense, and didn't taste like the sweet cream I remember. I also thought the biscuits had a lot of flour or something, because they were also breaking and so dense and dried out my mouth. Overall the food was just okay, but maybe it was because they were transitioning into lunch time!

I had a great experience when I ate here a few days ago. The hostess and my waitress were friendly and welcoming. I ordered the surf and turf, the food was great and arrived in a reasonable time. My waitress, Eva, was the right amount of checking in on me and leaving me alone to enjoy my food. I will definitely come back.

I went at 7:20 to get a thanksgiving dinner they close at 8 pm but I was told they were no longer serving with a restaurant full of people

We love doing breakfast dates here! But this place is crazy busy all the time so go early if you want seats! Great food and tons of options. Service is hit and miss but would still highly recommend this place.

We spent our Thanksgiving Day here this year, November 28, 2024. I don't eat Turkey but the Prime Rib was delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Excellent Service. Place was busy but quiet and not too loud music. It's an ice place to have a snack with friends. Thank you so much for your exceptional service.

Decided to eat here again! I had the usual, Avocado Toast but I am thinking I will branch out a bit and explore more of the menu. :) The manager checked in on us this time so that made us happy :) Service was amazing, I cannot remember our waitresses name though, she had an accent though and was very lovely to us, the hashbrowns were even undercooked so I sent them back and new ones came out right away! The only problem I have is the plates, I saw paw prints on them, they must let the bears run wild in the kitchen. Well, I mean they have bears and that is a positive really, I mean who doesn't like bears? Of course, heading back asap, LOVEEE this place!

When we're really hungry this is where we go. Portions are huge. Food is great too. Today there were 2 small issues. No lemon for the tap water and my poached eggs were almost hard boiled. Service was great and the traditional Benedict dish was fantastic in no time.

The best place off the strip for a large and affordable breakfast. Nothing fancy, but they have a huge breakfast menu and give the ability to order non breakfast foods in the AM. Plenty of choices. The service is always attentive and the food comes out quick. The ambiance is your average breakfast place. Lots of families and elderly people. I like it. Small conversations, the clanking of silverware and the smell of freshly brewed coffee are somewhat nostalgic to me.

We ordered food to go today a d were very disappointed. Below is why I say this: they charged 4% for the food to packaged to go. Not too sure why because we would have asked for to go containers if we ate there. Bears Choice: Food was cold, my eggs were under cooked and very wet, the bacon was small, thin, and had a weird taste, there was noodles attached to my french toast, i ordered fruit with whip topping but no whip topping was included. Scrambled bowl with a side of bacon: Food was cold, tasted different than past orders, bacon was thin, small and cold. We will not be eating there any time soon. Sad because we really enjoyed their breakfasts but the quailty of the food is just plan poor. Also want to mention that my husband arrived to pick up the food a few minutes before they said it would be ready, so we weren't late in picking it up.

This is our go to neighborhood place to go. Food and ambiance is always great ... noise level is good. No shouting to hear people. We never had bad service or bad food. Shout out to our last server, RAIN, for being so sweet and providing excellent service!

It's a quaint place with a bear theme! My wife and I decided to have breakfast instead of lunch! However, you can have lunch and dinner. We had the chicken fried steak and eggs. The service was good and the food was great! Great sweet tea with free refills! I live bears so the bear theme was down my alley! The menu is on an what looks like an old school 4 page newspaper which is cool! I definitely recommend!

This place is not was it used to be...ordered the California eggs benedict..the hash browns were ice cold and that hollandaise sauce was lumpy and unappealing.

I've always liked Black Bear.. all the way back to Phoenix-- but the staff at this one makes this location a standout. I love the culture here and, according to the people with whom I've spoken, it all starts with the manager. I haven't met him but here's a big thanks for making a good work environment.

I was visiting from Long Beach, California and really was craving a country fried , I really wanted to visit your location, to be honest, I didn't want it to be a disappointment,, because i was going to compare it to ours at signal hill, and I wasn't at all. awesome service by Judith and she was so patient with us, we wanted everything, but not ones we noticed a bad attitude from her, she was very understanding, we had little sleep, and we were very hungry lol and food delicious.

Food was excellent both nights we ate their service was very quick and the ambience was awesome also.

Liked the food didn't love it. Service was spotty at best. It wasn't busy but we kept reminding the server all the stuff they kept forgetting.

Simple breakfast, corn beef hash if one of my favorites. My only problem was the potatoes they weren't seasoned very well. Overall, the inside and outside was nice!

I went there for the first time with my family to grab a quick lunch. I ordered the beef taco salad, which was huge. I loved the deep fried shell, so good. My mom got tomato basil soup and a tuna melt, she's not a big eater yet she finished it all. My son got the chicken fried steak, over easy eggs, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy. He inhaled it so quick, I didn't get a chance to try it. He said everything was really good. For dessert my mom and I shared a banana cream pie, I wasn't big on the crumbled graham cracker bottom. Overall everything was delicious. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. He paid attention to detail and made sure our drinks were filled and our food was packed up. I wish I got his name, he was awesome. I thought the decor was cute and family friendly. A nice place to grab breakfast or lunch. Thank you for a nice lunch!

Simple American diner-style food. Service with a smile. Quick to be seated and served. Would be nice to have the Black Bear branded hot sauce available for purchase in the restaurant itself! Just busy enough to have a joyous hum, not so loud that you couldn't hear your tablemates. Coffee could be better tasting or a little less expensive, but I expect the burnt flavor and price when going out to a traditional type of diner these days.

Because today is Saturday, I decided that I wanted a good breakfast to start my day! I've always ordered from this diner on Sundays through Uber Eats, etc. Today, I decided I'm going to go in person. I was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, and one of my first American influences was diners .. This, in addition to Elivis, was always afflicted to "things to do" when you're in America. So, going to diners always puts a smile on my face because I always remember back in the Caribbean, seeing America, and the culture. This diner has a family like atmosphere. The food was/is delicious, that's why I keep ordering from there. The place was packed, and the service was quick! They definitely have a system that works. I usually order their homemade spicy beef patty and other traditional American breakfast. I sat at the table that's located right next to the kitchen. This was where I got to witness where the "magic" happens.. I was greeted and served by Jim and the waitress ( I forgot her name. Sorry-I suck at names) I'll definitely remember next time! Either way, thanks for being so welcoming. As always, " I'll be back in my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice "

The food is wonderful good sizes portions but the service is magnificent. I go just to see Monika , she is the best very personable.
