text: I stopped by this location after having tried a previous Black Bear Diner in Tulare CA while travelingnnThe food here is good While reading the about the history of the Black Bear Diner on the menu it mentioned the original establishment was set up to offer generous portions of homestyle comfort food at affordable prices The restaurant does it well The food is not world class or the best I ever ate but so far I have enjoyed all the dishes I have had while eating at this particular chain They give you large portions and the dishes are relatively inexpensive This is a good place to go if you are looking to have a good full meal without breaking the bank I came with a group and everybody was satisfied after dining herennThe menu seems to be consistent between all of the Black Bear Diners I have been too I did not notice any local food or deals Even though we came for lunch at about pm the waiter informed us that they were still serving breakfast We also asked if they served the dinner portions of the menu at this time and she said yes However she stated that some of the sides would not be available at this time such as the baked potatoes until after pm I suppose depending on the time you visit here it may limit the menu selection you have to choose fromnnI tried the Mickeys Chicken Pot Pie This dish comes with your choice of a side dish I had the Vegetable of the Day which was sauteed vegetables It was a mixture of a carrots yellow squash and zucchini Unlike the dinner specials on the menu this dish does not come with soup or salad The Pot Pie comes in a medium sized ramekin bowl The filling is spooned into the bowl there is no bottom layer of crust to the pie just the top layer The top came out browned and flaky The filling itself was quite good It had large chunks of chicken There was a large amount of peas in this pot pie I happen to like peas so this does not bother me However I am not sure if it was normal for there to be this many peas in the pot pie or if I just happened to get a scooping with a lot of peas So for those who are not that big of a fan of peas take notennIn addition many of the dish come with corn bread muffins My part and I ordered extra corn bread as a side to go with our meal There is nothing special about the corn bread It tasted great and they were served to us piping hot out of the oven I happen to think they tasted better after they cooled down a little bit and had a chance to solidify They also do not seem to crumble and fall apart as much as the freshly baked hot onesnnOverall I definitely like this chain and would visit them again
