Black Bear Diner Pasadena

Service was good.
Soup was great.
Tuna sandwich lacked tuna. However, the taste was good.
They don't have a big lunch special or lunch plates at that. But for $9 I was expecting tuna to cover my whole half sandwich. I'm one of those that don't like returning my plates for corrections.
I did noticed they have more options for breakfast. So will try them one morning.

Just opened today, so I stopped by to give it a try and there was a 10min wait for a table, not too bad for an opening night. The place has a mountain log cabin feel with home country cooking the menu is huge so there's something for everyone. Breakfast is served all day so don't hold back because it's dinner time. The skillet potatoes are delicious also the pancakes has a good flavor basically you can't go wrong with breakfast! The dinners are pretty decent for the price. The burgers are big (meat patty) and it's real meat I'm quite sure you will get full not including the fries that comes with it. They also have homemade dessert for that sweet tooth, so I ordered an Apple Cobbler to go.They didn't lie about being homemade it's really fresh apples so it's not super sweet like other places and it's a nice size for $6. When you get a chance go check it out it's located right across the street from Razzoo's, Outback, Chuy's ect.. I'm telling you now this place is going to have a nice little crowd for years to come.

Loved the place, very clean. Our waiter was awesome, checked on us several times. The food was ok, I had the pot roast it definitely needed more flavor to my liking. My husband had a burger, the size was big but was undercooked don't know if we should of have said how we wanted the meat to be cooked I don't know. I would go back and try other meals as they have lots to choose from.

Tried lunch menu as Take out. The place is always packed. Guess we ordered the wrong thing cause the sandwiches were a disappointment. The Reuben was very dry, not enough sauce or kraut. The turkey club was average but the sweet potatoes fries were good. We'll give them another try but we won't repeat that order. Oh, the lemonade was very good!

I give it three stars due to the food and service. The Burger was amazing but little sad on how much onions rings I got that came with it. The service here needs some improvement. Took about ten minutes until we were greeted by our server. From an ex servers perspective view, ask the guests if it their first time here since it is a new establishment, give a couple of suggestions, consolidate with your tables in your section so you do not have to make multiple trips, our server never offered dessert and the child had to bring up her free dessert after the check was dropped and last but not least, always check your ticket before you drop it at the table. Got mixed up between another table and ours and they would have been stuck with our ticket. Overall, the theme of the restaurant was pretty cool
