Reviews for Black Bear Diner El Cajon in El Cajon, CA

As my son would say when he was small "Dada I'm stuff-ted". I had the 12oz prime rib dinner and it was delicious. It was cooked... exactly the way I wanted it. Potatos and gravy were on point. Oh and the tomato soup was yummers as well. Place was busierthan I'm used to but there were no lapses in service. Savanna was my server and she was delightful. Of course I had to top itoff with a banana cream pie which never disappoints. All in all, another great visit. Oh and before I forget. All thru Decthey're supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. A worthwhile cause which I've seen in action. If you don't come for a meal. Justcome for pie and coffee byt don't forget to buy a star ;-) Read more

The waffles looked better than they tasted. My first bite took me back to my middle school cafeteria. Eggs Benedict was... average. When you first walk in, it's like you entered a meat freezer. The staff literally has to wear jackets at the front. Notsure the thinking behind that. Raise the temp! I won't be returning. This place reminds me of a breakfast tourist trap. Read more

Great Breakfast, good service, generous portions, clean restaurant. We were promptly seated upon arrival. Family friendly... restaurant, an upgraded dennys with bigger portions and modest prices. We ordered the chicken fried steak n egg with potatoescombo, cinnamon roll French toast, and the sweet cream pancakes combo with 2 eggs plus sausage links. Everything was preparedfresh. The pancakes are sooo good. Light fluffy, buttery. Must try spot, we will definitely be returning. Read more

7.5/10 I got an omelette and it was really good - the Hash-browns 100/10 best ones I?ve had ever. My friend got the French... toast and it was pretty average- in my opinion this place excels in their savory menu. Read more

Great Breakfast and good service. I heard about the very generous portions, so I decided to go light and order the Shasta... Scramble from the "diet" watchers side of the menu.???? I ate until I was stuffed and still brought enough home for later???? The hashbrowns had a nice crunch on the outside that I love and the biscuit was huge! Our 4 slices of bacon on the side,were thick, delicious and cooked perfectly. We loved it so much, we had to come back and this time we ordered the chicken friedsteak n egg combo and the ham n egg combo. Black Bear will definitely be added to our favorite restaurants for breakfast list. Read more
