    Very good quality food.

    I had the turkey dinner and my wife had a triple Decker sandwich. Coffee with both meals. The bill came to $30 and some cents. There could have been a little more food on the turkey dinner. The waitress didn't return, and she was busy...More

    The pie the pie. My goodness the pie.

    For some reason it took me 2 years of living here to go eat at this place. The food is great, with a big menu and breakfast at any time. The portions are pretty large as well. As you're paying at the counter they have...More

    QUALITY OF FOOD HAS DROPPED

    We always eat at this restaurant on our Reno visits. This time the quality of the food seemed to drop. Also the recuperation and service was lacking. It looks like they were cutting corner with the quality of their breakfast meats.

    Good Food and variety

    Service was great, food was also very good. Large selection. The restaurant looks a little dated inside and could use some remodeling, but you soon forget about the surroundings.

    This is One of the Great Black Bear Diners

    Good food and service; the prices are reasonable for the large portions of food you get served at most all Black Bear Diners. This is not the only Black Bear Diner we have near us, there is also one in Carson City, Nevada as well....More
