Black Bear Diner Rancho Cucamonga

The entrance to the restaurant has a sign asking for patience as they hire staff and deal with the current challenges. That being said, the food was decent. My waffle was tasty and thick, the eggs were fluffy, and the bacon was crispy. My son's cub cake was cute and fluffy. His hot chocolate came piled high with whipped cream. Hubby's omelet was delicious. The hash browns were not very crispy but they were okay and the portions were sized generously. He said the biscuits and gravy were good, too. Just a few issues - the limited staff made for slow service. I had to ask for refills on the coffee, which tasted watered down. The decor is meant to be kitschy but it seemed dated. The prices were not great but the portions made it a good value.

Nice place to eat at. last time I was here it was 2016 lol. I got the original French toast but ordered the stuffed blueberry french toast. The same price probably just as good wasn't that big of a deal for me. Thanks ????

The food is delicious and the service was excellent. My only issue is that for a breakfast I do not see good reason to spend the amount of money that I did here. Denny's, IHOP, and Cracker Barrel all offer similarly great tasting food at a fraction of the cost. Worth a one time splurge visit, but not a regular or necessary stop in my opinion.
