It was another one of those days undecided what to have for lunch. I usually like something with sauce or gravy so getting into my car driving around and pondering about food. It came down to something like meatloaf of chicken fried steak. Diners commonly offer these type of dish. So Black Bear was it. It was late afternoon, 2ish pm. Not many Carson the parking lot and the dining as such. Getting a table for one was a breezy. In a booth in the middle, it was. After browsing menu, I ordered the Bear Paw Fried Beef Steak with ice tea. They came out relatively quick. The steak was slightly covered with thick white gravy along with the smashed potato. I could have used more gravy. The steak fried coated with ground beef and other ingredient covered with thick gravy was much better with black pepper and hot sauce. There were three level of spiciness self branded bottled sauces. Trying all three. I like the middle level sauce. On the plate was steamed broccoli. It was soft but I liked it anyways. Since this was Bear Paw sized meal, the price was very reasonable at $12.99. Overall, it wasn't the greatness but fulfilling and satisfying. The service was fine, not extremely attentive but friendly when approached. For a simple, no thrills, dining fare on a quiet afternoon. It fit the bill.

We came here after our hiking at Little Yosemite in Sonul, California. I came with my wife, my son and his girlfriend. We are celebrating her birthday. We ordered California Omelette, Corned Beef, Bacon Omelette and Sausage Omelette. They are all good and the servings are big so we ended up taking out some. The place is very conducive for dining and the service is very efficient. We gave a 20% tip because we were all satisfied. She always check on us and asking what we need. We are definitely very satisfied with the ambiance, service and the food. We are coming back eventhough its 50 miles from us.

It was a rainy night and not crowded. We wet before a movie. They have a touch tunes compatible jukebox so you can select songs from the comfort of your seat. I love their thick bacon and they'll make it crispy on request. Waitress was friendly and service was quick.
