Black Bear Diner Auburn

Stoped here on my way through, Jena was my server, she was incredible! She very knowledgeable and attentive to my gluten free needs. She took special care communicating with the kitchen to make sure there was no cross contamination. Highly recommend asking for Jena when visiting Black Bear in Auburn. 10 STARS for Jena!!! She was also a lot of fun to talk to! She introduced me to her coworker Samatha who I absolutely adored!! She was funny and kind! I highly recommended stoping here for lunch and a great time!!!

If you've been to one black bear diner you've been to them all. Their iconic wooden bear sculptures and cabin-like interior are always a favorite. My parents joined my husband and our one year old for lunch although my mom ordered a breakfast meal, a something volcano with three stacked pancakes topped with scrambled eggs! It looked delicious. My husband, whose gluteen intolerant, got a scramBOWL and requested no gravy and biscuits on the side. He said it was good but that the sausage included likely had some gluten as he felt funny the rest of the day. Technically the only thing labeled "gluten free" on the menu were the salads which is a shame. I got the Parm sourdough cheeseburger and it was so good I ate the whole thing. My dad got the tuna melt sandwich and opted for a side salad. For our daughter we got the kids pizza and fruit but they also gave us fries so that was kinda nice. All in all it was a nice lunch meet. Our server was friendly and attentive, the food came quickish. If there were more gluten free options/substitutions for my husband we'd likely eat there much more often!
