"We had a good experience at Black Bear Diner in Santa Clarita. It 's a chain breakfast place where you can get lots of basic breakfast items in a bear-themed environment (without all the growling and mothers protecting their young which you get when real bears are around. The portions were huge so you definitely won 't go hungry here and there are a million things to choose from, as well as plenty to eat for vegetarians, and gluten-free folks will do okay too. (Though the only gluten-free bread option is a hamburger bun. I had the No Meat, Just the Eggs Please which was a good amount of egg whites and an insane amount of crispy hashbrowns. They were cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning so were a bit bland. They were nice enough to sub a single Sweet Cream Pancake as my bread option. This was a generous-sized thing on its own and tasted as good as a pancake should. The coffee was really good. Too often conventional breakfast places serve up weak coffee which just doesn 't do the job. The mug they served me was filled with a bold, strong coffee that I would drink over and over. Well done! Our kid enjoyed his breakfast burrito without meat...another giant portion which even he, with all his teenage eating prowess, could not finish. And my wife was fine with her benedict meal served without bread (no gluten-free breakfast bread option. They did forget to bring our english muffin side until the end of the meal. We ended up packing it up and taking it with us with the rest of the leftovers. It was a great surprise to have decent food, large portions, and really good coffee at a chain conventional breakfast spot. I 'm a fan and will be back."

"Marie Callender 's in Visalia is GODAWFUL. We ordered a Ham Christmas Dinner in a Box from them. SUPPOSED to be ready at 9 am Today Friday Dec 22 2023. We were delayed getting there for multiple reasons chief among them incompetence at other vendors. We arrived at 11:00 am. Order should have been ready TWO HOURS EARLIER. My wife STOOD there for a FULL half hour waiting for someone ANYONE to Put the order in a Box. We had Paid $222+ IN ADVANCE for this. And they didn 't have the COMPETENCE to assemble a simple box with maybe 10 Pre Packaged items. Meanwhile myself and our Dog were Waiting waiting waiting waiting in the car in the Parking lot. After a half hour I called their Phone Number and after 20 rings gave up. No answer. There was no Line to wait in and the parking lot was FAR from crowded. Some employees kept coming out the back door walking to a sea train behind the restaurant and I Finally Asked what the issue was and why they wouldn 't even answer the TELEPHONE. All I got was OH they 're REALLY busy in there! My wife worked hospitality for years. She KNOWS busy when she sees it. They were NOT. We will NEVER cast a shadow upon that place again. EVER. Hell we 'll cook our OWN holiday meals moving forward. It a LOT cheaper and without the FRUSTRATION. Oh yeah and $22 for a Key Lime Pie??? What 's it got? GOLD in it? Bob and Lily Powell.

"When you first walk in everything is beautifully laid out and everything looks Devine! However, once we were inside it was very hard to get service and the staffs attitude was poor. The guy helping us seemed annoyed with the couple of simple questions I had and simply ignored the compliment I gave. We ordered several different cake slices, cheesecake bars, peris brest, and a sticky bun.CAKES:The cakes all had a very very mild flavor. The oreo had 2 layers of chocolate cake and a vanilla in between. The chocolate cake was hardly chocolate tasting at all but the texture was nice. The chocolate cake in the oreo cake honestly tasted like a box cake mix but even those have more chocolate flavor...The buttercream they have is excellent.The lemon cake, same thing. It was almost like the cake was a simple vanilla and the buttcream that went along with it had a beautiful texture but you could hardly taste any lemon.The peanut butter cake was very dry and almost stale. But the buttercream was well flavored with a reeses flavor and had nice texture to it. We just ended up scraping the frosting off to use with pretzels later.CHEESECAKE:The oreo and chocolate Cheesecake were some of the best cheesecakes we have ever had! Very dense but creamy and well blended flavors throughout the Cheesecake bars. Very rich NY style with lovely crusts. We will definitely keep coming for those!PERIS BREST:The peris brest was just not good. First off, it should not be called a peris brest it is more of a giant filled cream puff. Every part of it was bad to me. The pâte à choux dough seems overworked because it was very very tough. The pastry cream inside was too thick and dense. The sliced strawberries were on their last leg and hardly ok to serve. The Whipped cream was over Whipped and had a lumpy and gross texture with no sweetness to it. We just threw it out after failing to find some type of redeeming quality about it.STICKY BUNOh my goodness! I highly recommend buying like 12 of these because they are phenomenal! They have used what I believe to be a puff pastry type dough and was beautifully glazed and sticky. The chew factor on the sticky sweet outside was just what I was craving and will be getting more in the future!Bottom line some things are done extremely well while other treats are lacking. To summarize, if you are looking for an intense flavor in your cake, this isn't the place. But if frosting is your thing then you're in the right place. Everything is beautifully decorated and delicious to the eyes but just simply lacks flavor to back it up."
