Black Bear Diner - Tomball

Black Bear Diner opened its Tomball restaurant on October 30, 2025, at 25517 State Highway 249, Suite 180, bringing the West Coast comfort-food chain to the Highway 249 corridor. The chain is known for hearty, made-from-scratch meals in big portions, a cozy mountain-lodge atmosphere and its signature carved bear statues, which make for a fun photo with kids. The Tomball diner is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to its location page and local news coverage, so it works for an early breakfast before a day out, a family lunch or a late dinner after an event. The location also promotes an all-you-can-eat Friday night fish fry starting at 4 p.m. Online ordering and catering are available. Its spot on Highway 249 makes it easy to reach for travelers staying at nearby hotels or passing through between Houston and points north.
