Black Bear Diner Elk Grove

Love the bear cabin decor, super children friendly, so I appreciate.
I went to this location maybe 4-5 times and the wait staff were also quick to respond and pleasant. You can also get a Bear Choice free meal pictured below (except I ate a bacon before I took a pic lol) you can get for on your birthday if you signed up as a rewards member.

The LARGEST serving of food on a plate !!! I’ve NEVER been to a diner that serves as much food on a plate as Big Bear Diner. I am visiting the Sacramento area and decided to visit this restaurant since a diner always has something for everyone! We dined in around 2:30pm during a midweek.
Some of us ordered breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrees. To me, each plate is equivalent to 2 meals.
YES, that is exactly how much food we each received! LOTS! The assistant manger was surprised at our amazement 😂😅. I ordered a veggie omelette, very filling.
I do prefer the veggies to be more cooked, less raw.
It was too crunchy.
Same with the hash brown, bc although the potatoes were shredded, it needed longer cooking time since these are wider shreds (1/4”, as oppose to the traditional 1/8”.) My mom ordered a taco salad.
I am NOT joking, their taco bowl was like a taco bucket! HUGE! The kitchen kindly gave my mom extra salsa and dressing, which is much needed with the portion of food! Side note, even their biscuit is the size of a softball.
Normally biscuits are the size of a baseball. We had a great experience, and customer service is TOP notch! We automatically got extra napkin replenishments and water refills. Definitely check out this restaurant when you are extra hungry, or pack the leftovers to go! They do not disappoint!

My first experience at this location had high expectations.
They met them, the salad (see picture) was fresh with tasty and beautiful tomatoes & cucumber slices.
The meal was served with a corn muffin and real butter. I had the Roast turkey dinner served with regulars and nicely steamed broccoli and plenty of cranberry sauce.
Was hoping for carved whole turkey alas a brest roast. Every staff member a delight.
I will be back.
