Black Bear Diner Lakewood

Great diner with large menu. Service was excellent. Food was good and typical of a Black Bear experience.

Classic All American Diner. Love Their Originality! Our Server, Tall Gentleman, Roger, I Think is His Name, Awesome Guy. Fresh Squeeze Orange Juice, and Bottomless Coffee Too...

The food just isn't good. The potatoes were mushy like they had been cooked with the lid on and steamed. The flavors just weren't there. I didnt find it worth eating.

The atmosphere is fun but not over the top. There is adequate parking and ample seating while not feeling crowded. The food is simple, well prepared and tastes like my childhood. The star of it all was our server Katie. She is the absolute epitome of a fantastic server. She's as bright and sunny as her vibrantly colored makeup and nails. Her menu knowledge is beyond accurate, she's not afraid to make recommendations that improve the dining experience and her competency on the floor shines through in her ability to multitask while making her tables feel like they're her only responsibility. Also the kitchen staff must be super squared away because they were slinging hash out almost as fast ast humanly possible. I happily shower this restaurant with all the accolades possible.

Had a fantastic breakfast the other morning at Black Bear Diner in Lakewood. From the moment you walk in, it just feels like home—clean, cozy, and welcoming. The service is absolutely top-notch. Vanessa, Jesse, and Tyzhanae not only kept my glass full and brought out hot, delicious food, but also brought great banter and genuine conversation that made the whole experience feel like I was among friends. What really stands out, though, is how they treat my 86-year-old dad. He walks with a cane and has hearing and vision challenges—and maybe a few dated comments here and there—but they always find a table close by, speak up when needed, and treat him with the same kindness and patience they’d show their own dad or grandpa. That kind of compassion is rare, and it means the world. Dinner serv
