About the Business

Specialties

In 1995 founders Bruce Dean and Bob & Laurie Manley opened the first Black Bear Diner in Mt. Shasta, CA. Their mission was simple: create a fun and friendly atmosphere where the local community could enjoy huge portions of home-style cooking at a reasonable price. Today, we continue their mission at every Black Bear Diner across the country, as we passionately provide guests an outstanding experience. Our menu offers comfort food classics, and our entire menu is offered all day long. Whether you are craving pancakes at 8 pm or pot roast at 8 am - we've got something for everyone. Enjoy your meal in our family-friendly, cabin-themed diner with our welcoming staff or order to enjoy in the comfort of your home.

History

Established in 1995.

In 1861 a gold prospector named Sisson fell in love with and opened an inn in Strawberry Valley - a quaint mountain meadow at the foot of Mt. Shasta, California, frequented by black bears and people alike. The friendly atmosphere and large portions of homestyle food became their standard, so when Bob and Laurie Manley and their partner Bruce Dean opened the first Black Bear Diner on that in 1995, they were determined to rekindle the same hospitality lavished upon early Strawberry Valley guests. The menu, service, and decor were designed to remind guests of a time when life was a little simpler, and service and quality were the cornerstones of business. Although we've grown from a single location in Mt. Shasta to 150+ restaurants, all are dedicated to the same simple concepts.

Business Owner

In 1995, founders Bob & Laurie Manley, along with founding partner Bruce Dean, created the first Black Bear Diner in Mt. Shasta, California. They chose the name Black Bear Diner because the legendary black bear is native to the Mt. Shasta area. Black Bear Diner reflects our founders' upbringing in small-town America and their restaurant concept sprang from a desire to bring home-style cooking and personal service back to the dining experience. While the Black Bear Diner reflects their creativity and concern for quality, service and value, our concept is built upon many years of practical experience in a variety of business endeavors.
