Black Bear Diner is a restaurant chain in the western United States, which serves homestyle and "old-fashioned" comfort foods. The first restaurant was opened in Mount Shasta, California in 1994, founded by Bob and Laurie Manley with help from Bruce Dean.[2][3] The company is based in Redding, California.
Black Bear decor is a rustic motif with "over-the-top bear paraphernalia". Every restaurant is decorated with a 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) black bear carving.[3] The menu format mimics an old newspaper, and the portions are large.[4] Food offerings include pie, bread and cobbler prepared on site.[2]
