Black Bear Diner Citrus Heights

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and found a waiting area with plenty of people. The hostess told me it’d be only a ten minute wait and it really was. Our waiter , Laurence, was running around with his head cut off. He thanked us for our patience as he took our orders, explaining that a couple of people called out. I tell you, for being short of staff, management should be proud of this well oiled machine of workers. They helped each other pulling orders off the hot window and serving customers, whether it was their table or not. Team work put to the test and it passed the test. Very good crew. The food was perfect. The chicken fried steak was perfectly crunchy with a well expected taste. He gravy was flavorful with a good thickness, not watery. The mashed potatoes were thick and danced a jig on my taste buds. I would definitely visit this location again. Black Bear Diner has been a lint tone favorite no matter what town we visit them in.

I stopped at Black Bear Diner for breakfast on my way to a mid-morning appointment. I had the Volcano (a Clasic Black Bear breakfast combination). 2 eggs over medium, 2 strips of thick cut bacon, two sausage links, over three fluffy pancakes, accompanied by a cup of coffee. Omar my waiter was attentive, considering there was a group meeting of Toast Masters while I was there and he was the only server! So this venue can serve larger groups. Access is flat and is wheel chair and stroller compatable. Plenty of free parking. My breakfast was huge. You will not leave hungary. Two people.could split this breakfast. I noticed something special about fluffy Black Bear pancakes... While most pancakes get gummy and elastic after butter and syrup, these pancakes seemed to crumble (like cake). My server gave me two pats of butter for three giant pancakes, and I had to ask for more. * Check out the photos

Wonderful experience! Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful. I had the cheeseburger basket and it was delicious. Hot cocoa warmed me right up. So delicious. Left with a peppermint chocolate pie for later tonight. Delicious, reasonable pricing and excellent service. Can't ask for anything better.
