Black Bear Diner Pleasanton

Shelby Dantzler

Literally the worst meal I had in a long time. We stopped by mid-afternoon for a bite after going car shopping. The host/server was very pleasant and welcoming. We were seated and placed our order. 5 minutes later (no joke) our food was brought out. I was shocked. Clearly this food was prepared long before and the quality showed. The eggs were extremely over cooked, rubbery and slightly burnt, the hash browns were dried out and tasted reheated. The worst of it all was the bowl if grits. The cook literally took hot water and poured it over the grits. They weren't even cooked. We called a server over asked if it could be cooked longer. 10 minutes later the same bowl of grits returned dried out and lumpy. The grits were microwaved. The server actually brought extra butter to “soften” the grits….hahahaha… Are you f’ing kidding me… Clearly the cook has never made grits before and the server knew it was bad. He was super polite and tried to remedy the situation by discounting the meal. We politely requested the check, paid our bill and left. We will never return to this location again. The One star was for the server….

I went in on Sunday morning for breakfast. I had amazing service from Jennifer. She was the most eccentric waitress I have ever seen. I had the most fun and she made me laugh. It was nice since I had a death in the family this last week and not much to smile about. Pancakes were out of this world. Jennifer though…very witty and a lot of fun and very beautiful I must add. Keep up the good work black bear diner!

Had chicken strips, tossed in hotsauce, and a side salad instead of fries. They were really good and the server was very friendly !
