I have to come here once a month to pay rent as it's the closest to my place and every time is the same thing.. Expect to wait in line at least 15min. There's normally only one banker taking all the clients.. Never a pleasant experience.

I like! Not all diners can take me back to my first months living in CA. Stepping into this Black Bear Diner, I felt like I had stepped into my uncle's Buckhorn motel and restaurant (sold a long time ago), thanks to the comforting aromas of coffee and breakfast cooking on the griddle, and the hustle-bustle of a busy diner!
Our server was friendly, prompt, and efficient. No complaints there. Still no complaints when we received our orders of the daily special of NY steak and eggs (which came with hash browns and choice of bread: muffin, toast, pancake http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/black-bear-diner-goodyear?select=q7dK8yU76GIyLxt6KVjrHQ#q7dK8yU76GIyLxt6KVjrHQ , or biscuit) and a plate of biscuits and gravy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/black-bear-diner-goodyear?select=EpBzkp0dH2QNe4m-F7F4dQ#EpBzkp0dH2QNe4m-F7F4dQ Loved that she asked us how we wanted the steak cooked- medium rare to medium, please. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/black-bear-diner-goodyear?select=30v8SVaQU2f7AcTsPIRd2w#30v8SVaQU2f7AcTsPIRd2w Oh, and she was thoughtful enough to split our entree when all we had asked was to have an extra plate. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/black-bear-diner-goodyear?select=RCVOGduEtBFY2S63er9qlA#RCVOGduEtBFY2S63er9qlA She even remembered that I didn't want to have any of the eggs... cool.
Everything was delicious! The color/temperature of the steak was perfect! I did ask for the hash browns be cooked extra crispy, and it wasn't, but no big deal, since we had the lovely biscuits and gravy to contend with, too. (I suggest you get your fill of the B&G when fresh, 'cause they're not good eats hours later, most notably the gravy... ugh.)
Glad to find another breakfast eatery to take my Mom to!

My husband and I went here for a Saturday date night. We were very fortunate to get lounge seating right next to the floor to ceiling windows and almost front row to the Nate Williams band that was playing there.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The view was beautiful. In order to get the full experience we ordered the Jade wings, burger and fries, and the salty chips with the onion dip. My husband had draft beer and I had the Jade lemonade. The wings were average and the chips needed salt and were a little on the stale side. The onion dip was cold and it wasn't that great. The burger and fries were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the lemonade. The first round had blackberries and the second had strawberries.

Overall I had a good time. The band, staff, and views were great. The food was okay, but not worth the money spent.
