Black Bear Diner - Downey

Great service and the serving size large enough for two. My wife and I love this place. I try something new every time I go and everything has been delicious.

I can't really rate the restaurant itself as I wasn't able to eat there. It was raining and the outdoor seating was shut down because of it. But I did order food to go and it was great. I ordered the Grizz which is pancakes or toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, and hash brown. Man I'd it a lot of food and delicious as well. Also ordered the chicken tender meal. They were all great. The inside looked roomy and they had a store inside to buy merchandise along with a jukebox. Overall great.

Luis the manager is awesome! I had an issue and he came and made it right. I've been here several times and they don't disappoint. Luis is super helpful and professional.

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.
