The portions at Black Bear Diner are very generous. A quick tip: the grits tend to be bland and quite thick, so you might want to season them yourself. The freshly squeezed orange juice was refreshing. Unfortunately, the bread pudding was overcooked and tough, which was disappointing since I ordered it knowing the chef is from Vegas. The omelets were the highlight, bursting with flavor. Sadly, the pancakes were dry as well, which was unexpected given it wasn’t busy at 9 AM on a Saturday. On the bright side, the service was good.
We ordered the Bigfoot Chicken Fried Steak with eggs for $21.79 and a Reuben sandwich for $17. The food was okay this time, but nothing exceptional. The chicken fried steak was a generous 10 oz portion, but the gravy fell flat—it was bland, and I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to improve the flavor. The corned beef in the Reuben was quite dry. On the plus side, the service was excellent.
Black Bear never fails to impress me with its unique flavors and friendly service. It's an excellent place for breakfast, whether you're on your own or with friends. I haven't had the opportunity to try the dinner menu yet since I typically visit in the mornings, but I hope to stop by one day to check out some of the dinner options.
I always have an amazing time at Black Bear in Colma. I have a bit of a crush on Rosita, which is why I go there often just to see her! She’s very efficient and friendly, making each visit special. And the food is pretty good too, haha!
