The Black Bear Diner doesn’t accept EBT at its Southern California restaurants. I checked the lists of Restaurant Meals program participants in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties and didn’t see this restaurant on those lists. Most diners don’t accept EBT either, so this isn’t unusual. However, the diner Denny’s does accept this payment method at many of its restaurants in Southern California. You can also use EBT at lots of fast-food restaurants in Southern California but diners prepare their food with higher quality ingredients.

This is a relatively new, rapidly growing diner chain that’s replacing older diners that have lost popularity. For example, its Ventura location was originally a Carrows diner. While the Black Bear Diner serves lots of diner classics like waffles and omelets, it also serves entrees that are popular in California such as avocado toast and taco salad. It has a broad menu and again everything on its menu is available all day. And it’s also open for dinner, unlike a few other diners such as First Watch and Another Broken Egg Cafe. It doesn’t serve alcoholic beverages.
