We've always enjoyed eating at Black Bear Diner in the towns we've been in. This experience was one of the best. The food is always good and we enjoyed this particular restaurant. Our server Wendy was the best we've ever had. She even filled our thermos so our coffee would last the rest of our trip. Thank you Wendy! We will eat here again next time we come through Redding, California.

It was our first time in a Black Bear Diner and I can say, I’m absolutely in love! Had the Bacon Blue Burger - wow!!! Love the atmosphere there and the food is more than excellent! We were served by Michael and Nick and they were absolutely friendly and welcoming. I can highly recommend this Diner!

This is long overdue but I am finally getting to it. As mother-of-the-bride for our daughter's wedding in Redding, CA, especially as we were from another state, it was quite a challenge to attend to all the details & facets of planning for this very important occasion. In my search for a venue for the rehersal dinner I was both delighted & relieved to find that Black Bear Diner would be available to accomodate such an event & found Quintin, one of the managers, to be so hospitable, engaging & a joy to work with! He put me at ease right away with the assurance that they would give their best attention, as this was something he had been hoping to develop more & facilitate in the future. We were the first party to engage their facility for this type of use. The other manager & serving staff were excellent on Friday night, November 15th, 2024 attending to all our guests & extended family. We ordered from the menu a pre-set dinner which, though a bit delayed, was truly delicious & worth the wait. The servers were wonderfully attentive in getting everyone their drinks, (& refils), as we waited, & then continuing to replenish & keep the food hot as needed. The space was cozy, warm & welcoming which meant I did not need to do any special decor. They allowed me to set up a small table with a welcome sign announcing the bridal couple. I am happy to give a thumbs up & kudos to Black Bear Diner & staff for helping to make a memorable evening even more special.

Amazing service, quick, and a fun atmosphere for my kids. Our waitress was either Danielle or Daniela, I’m sorry I can’t remember. And the hostess was a tall man who was also great. Inviting vibes, fun energy, and GREAT prices for the portions you get.
