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[1] in 1995, founded by Bruce Dean and Bob & Laurie Manley.[2] The company is based in Redding, California. As of 2018, Black Bear Diner has 118 locations in 10 states.[3]

Black Bear decor has a rustic motif with "over-the-top bear paraphernalia."[4] Every restaurant is decorated with a 12-foot-tall (3.7 m) black bear carving by artist Ray Schulz. Additional murals and artwork are created for each restaurant by Steve and Gary Fitzgerald and Colleen Mitchell-Veyna.[2] The menu format mimics an old newspaper titled The Black Bear Gazette, with articles on the front page.[1] It offers family meals such as breakfast, burgers, salads, and shakes.[5] Baked goods prepared on site are offered, and some locations offer alcohol sales.[6]
