Black Bear Diner - American restaurant in Sunnyvale - 415 E El Camino Real, USA

Really had no complaints about this diner. I always passed by this location when driving down El Camino in Sunnyvale, but never tried it til today. Great service and food. We ordered the Chili which came with a cheddar cheese topping along with a corn muffin. Someone in my party said it tasted good and that he would order it again. Another person ordered the Waffle Combo with two eggs over easy and two slices of bacon. He too enjoyed it and the portion was a nice size. I shared a Volcano meal which included three huge sweet cream pancakes, two eggs over easy, two slices of bacon and two sausage links. These pancakes were the best I had in any diner. It didn't need any syrup really unless you need to wet it. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the coffee, but I didn't go there for that. We will definitely return.

I've only been in California for 3 days. I was researching different diners and came across this one and decided to go for breakfast. Words can't being to explain how great the experience was from the staff to the food restaurant itself. It was all great. Definitely recommend if your in the area. Check it out you won't be disappointed!!

we came here on thanksgiving as most other places were closed. they welcomed us like family and were staffed to handle the crazy amount of people. thank you for the great service and great food.

Basic American food served by overworked staff. Quantities are generous and service was fast but staff couldn't keep up with the level that makes you feel at home. Overall good.

Great place to have breakfast The atmosphere is very nice and warm. The service was very good and fast. Big portions of the food, everything was delicious. Prices are a little high, but not too bad.

I am not going to yak about the price. It's what it is. The service was very good. Our waitor was super friendly, kind and funny. The host was very polite. I also liked the food and the atmosphere which had a rusty feel with bear theme in every corner. Their signature hot sauces are a series of papa, mama and baby brand respectively in various flavors. I chose the baby hot sauce on my California omelette, pleasantly it wasn't too hot. The kitchen area was very clean and organized. These people know what they are doing. The vibe was relaxing and lovely. I enjoyed it and would come back.

I've been to a few locations around the Bay Area but this one is by far my favorite. The staff is always accommodating and jolly. Food can take a while, especially on busy days, but it's always worth it and cooked exactly the way we ordered. Biscuits and gravy here are to die for. French toast is perfectly crispy and sweet. When you ask for extra crispy hash browns you get them. And their various lunch and dinner options are always great. If you have a huge appetite you may be able to finish a chicken fried steak, but don't count on it. Always plan for leftovers, the plates are massive. And we haven't even gotten to the desserts yet! Plus the prices are always just right, especially for Bay Area. It can get super busy on Saturday and Sunday mornings so be prepared to wait or go for late lunch instead. They serve breakfast all day so you won't miss a thing.

I had the most wonderful time at Black Bear Diner in Sunnyvale! The cozy atmosphere, combined with delicious food, made my visit memorable. A huge shoutout to the amazing Itza, our waitress, who made the experience even more special with her friendly and attentive service. I can't wait to go back and savor both the delightful food and the warm hospitality. Thumbs up to Black Bear Diner, and a big thank you to Itza for making our time there so enjoyable! 👍👍
