Black Bear Diner

This coffee-shop diner is a franchise with 56 locations. It originated in Mt. Shasta and found its way into Torrance, California. The old Bob's Big Boy on Pacific Coast Highway is now Black Bear Diner.



We ended up there last week as I picked up a friend from the airport. It's a cute place typical of any coffee shop. It has a lively atmosphere with mostly young kids and families.
We ordered a Tortilla Soup with Corn Bread to start. That was quite good, reminiscent of Marie Callendar's corn bread though not as light.


For our entree, we had the Bear Paw as oppose to Big Foot, Chicken Fried Steak served with a choice of potato and vegetables. I had the baked potato and for vegetables, they had asparagus and mushrooms. The chicken fried steak was not bad; what you would expect it to taste like; the mushrooms were really good.
The other dish which sounded more exciting was a Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken. This was a skinless breast stuffed with broccoli, bacon and cheese filling then wrapped in bacon and finished with a broccoli Hollandaise sauce. This should have been superb with all the bacon and sauce, but.....it was not. They made a mistake and brought us the bigger serving with 2 chicken breasts.



We were too full to try any of the desserts. I just took a picture, so the next time we crave for pies we can always check them out.


Big Bear Diner is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it's good to know they open at 6:00 a.m. till 10:00 p.m. and on weekends, until 11:00 p.m.

  1. Black Bear Diner is a great place, huh? They don't only offer their customers delectable dishes, but sweet delicacies too. The pies really looks scrumptious and I want to have a taste. Pleeease! :D I also like the setting. It has a rustic atmosphere, but with the memorabilia displayed, children can also have fun in the place.
