29 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Chino Hills

“I'm not someone who craves American food every day, but every now and then, nothing satisfies quite like a great crafted burger.

Back in the 1990s, neighborhood burger joints were everywhere. Every town seemed to have its own local favorite, where burgers were grilled to order with unmistakable character. Those places made crafted burgers one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. Unfortunately, as national chains steadily expanded over the past two decades, many of those independent burger shops quietly disappeared. Finding a true old-school burger joint today feels almost like searching for a hidden treasure.

With that nostalgia in mind, I visited The Stand hoping to rediscover some of that magic. We ordered the restaurant's Stand Burger, the Ultimate Egg Burger, and the Chinese Chicken Chop Salad.

Let's start with the positives. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was appealing, and everything was prepared with care. The Chinese Chicken Chop Salad was particularly enjoyable, offering crisp vegetables, well-seasoned chicken, and a balanced dressing that made it more than just a side dish.

The burgers, however, left me wanting just a little more.

As someone who has very high expectations for crafted burgers, I'm looking for that unforgettable first bite—the smoky aroma from the grill, the rich beef flavor that fills your mouth, and a juicy patty with enough personality to stand on its own. While both burgers were certainly well above typical fast-food standards, they didn't quite deliver the depth of flavor or distinctive character I associate with truly exceptional crafted burgers.

To be clear, this isn't a criticism of quality. These are good burgers, and they're unquestionably a step above the mass-produced offerings of traditional fast-food chains. But for me, they still carry a level of consistency and polish that feels closer to a well-executed franchise concept than to a neighborhood burger shop with its own unique identity.

Of course, taste is deeply personal. My expectations are shaped by years of searching for those unforgettable local burger joints that seem to be disappearing from the American dining landscape. Someone looking for a fresh, satisfying, and consistently well-made burger will likely leave very happy. Those chasing the nostalgic, one-of-a-kind flavor of a classic independent burger stand, however, may come away wishing for just a bit more soul.

In the end, The Stand succeeds as a polished, reliable modern burger restaurant. It simply didn't rekindle the memories of the handcrafted burgers I grew up loving—and perhaps that's less a reflection of The Stand than of how rare those old neighborhood burger shops have become.“

“Every time we visit the Chino Hills Store #50, Lorraine has been attentive, friendly, and professional. She always greets us with a big smile, and it helps to put a positive attitude in everyone who walks in. Nick is also a great asset to your company.“

“UPDATE 9/8/26: I was contacted by the owner working to rectify the experience I posted. I have upgraded the rating from 3 to 4 just for the effort and quick response.

We love Dave's.

This one was a little disappointing.

Service: the people here were kind but there were mistakes in our order.
Also my vanilla shake was so thick, I needed a spoon. Not sure if this is operator error but I didn't enjoy it. I prefer the texture of a good milkshake.

Food: it tasted great as usual. But we got a wrong sandwich. They rectified it. My milkshake wasn't. It was like a blob of ice cream.

Venue: eating area was clean and comfortable. The restroom was not.“

“Service is fast, food is good, price is fair“

“The food is amazing, the service is on point and the atmosphere feels like family.“

“I discovered Chaos Bubble Shoppe through the Too Good to Go app.,it is incredible that I get THREE beverages for $6. I also began sampling the rice balls and have two more to go to have tried them all. Delicious!! I got a signature tea (today was roasted oolong tea, toffee is my favorite), a milk tea with boba (today was toasted oolong milk tea) and one of my favorite fruit teas with boba, cactus passion tea. I have tried at least 20 different drinks and enjoyed all of them. The staff is friendly and professional, worth a stop whether you just want a drink or some delicious food. Highly recommend!! Truly a hidden gem!!“

“Went there for breakfast on Saturday early (8:30) to beat the rush. Only waited 20 minutes. Had belly to belly, creme brulee french toast. avocado toast, and two orders of the berry cloud pancakes. For drinks we had classic coffee, Pandan latte, Spanish latte, and Cookie? latte. Both drinks and food were great. Only complaint is that we order the 2nd pancake a few minutes late and it didn't arrive till most of us were finished. Be warned .. get your orders in for the cloud pancakes early. It will take 20-30 minutes to arrive.“

“First time visiting Luchador on May 4th and had a great time. The service and the beer was great, the music by DJ Andy O was vibing and the food was good. I highly recommend the guacamole and chips.“

“The food and the service are all very good! The server was very nice to us and our dog, oh yes they are super pet friendly restaurant.

The food not only taste are good also the potion are very big. It’s better to have 3-4 ppl to dine with!“

“We recently found this gem of a place and were warmly welcomed and constantly attended to. Now, mind you, this was on a Monday morning at 9:30am when most people are working; however, people should realize that weekends are much busier times for dining and plan accordingly! The atmosphere was awesome, warm and welcoming. We were attended to by no less than 4 different people making sure we were cared for; the food was very fresh (they have vegan options too) and the coffee was yum. When I heard the name of this place, I knew it would be fantastic; check it out and see what you think.“

“ครอบครัวทำบุญร่วมกันค่ะ สาธุ สาธุ สาธุ 🙏🙏🙏“

“awesome halohalo and cozy atmosphere“

“everything was so fresh! i loved all the choices at the salad bar and the soups. This was our first time at Soup & Fresh. we were on our way home from las vegas and we were able to stop by.
I wish there was a location closer to home in Garden Grove! so we could go all the time.“

“Donuts are always freshh! 😁 the kids love how they have new colors and donut designs every occasion!“

“Food was delicious. The owner MiMi was was nice and really made you feel welcome“

“Great place to go enjoy a football game!“

“Easily best food in Chino Hills, such a good option for mediterranean and so worth the price. Very underrated and fresh meat with little wait time. The garlic sauce is to die for! My favorite is the chicken shawarma plate with two free sides: pickled beet salad and cucumbers yogurt salad.“

“Absolutely astounded with the expansion of 3CAT series to Chino Hills. This spot specifically is smaller than the other locations I've been to, limited seating, and no public restrooms at this location, although you can find restroom easily as it's in a outdoor shopping center. Can get super busy during peak hours but is accommodated by their two self ordering kiosks. Shop itself is very minimalist vibe but is very clean and modern style. 10/10. Staff is pretty quick with the orders but I always order on their mobile app Snackpass to get rewards. (Every 10 cups = 1 free drink of
choice.)

Parking here is easy, although gets busy at times all around the lot. Certain spots are paid but it's mostly free and in walking distance. I've tried most of their drinks here and it's always just super refreshing and addicting.

My go to drinks are:
Mochi Matcha (Highly recommend)
Avomango Sweet Dew
Mochi Barley Burst
Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea
Jade Matcha

They have seasonal drinks here which I haven't tried but definitely worth a look.“

“❤️🫐😋I COME HERE EVERY WEEK RELIGIOUSLY😋🫐❤️ OMG! This is my GO TO SPOT FOR AÇAÍ BOWLS! So f@cking good! I go to nekter 1x/week religiously. Lol. Like for the past 20ish weeks religiously, lol. And I ALWAYS get the same thing... wait for it... PROTEIN POWER BOWL! (With extra almond butter scoop) (worth the extra $1) Although I usually treat myself after a new weekly hike... Nekter has become a RITUAL of mine to rejuvenate and treat myself to get ready to KICKASS and conquer my week. While I could’ve left this review on any other nekter location I’ve ever been to — THIS LOCATION IS MY FAVORITE! Always top notch service and generous servings! This was also where I lost my nekter virginity, downloaded the app for the first time, and never looked back. AHHH, so so so SOOOO friking God. You guys are a friking GOD SEND. #PROTEINPOWERBOWL all the way. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself the favor and treat yourself this week! (No need to thank me) 🦄🫐 🍓🍌🥜🍯😋“

“It's not the best pizza I've ever had but it's VERY good for a local spot and intend to come back. It's not a knock against them that I gave them 4 stars, I'm just a deep dish kind of guy but the service was great, the pizza was really good. The sourdough crust was perfectly crispy and the cheese/sauce ratio was perfect. Definitely coming back.“

“Finally sat down for breakfast at a place that we frequent!!! We always drop by to get their frozen dumplings because they are great value for money but we’ve never actually had their other items. So happy to finally sit down for breakfast. The soy beancurd was pretty good value for money. The serving was huge! The sugar syrup was a little sweet but I can imagine kids loving it. The daikon cake was crisp on the outside and very soft on the inside. The sweet rice roll was really interesting. Love it! It was soooo filling though!“

“the Pub burger is 🔥 Rene our waitress was so sweet and kind❤“

“We stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday. I had the Albacore tuna sandwich with mixed greens. My companions had the Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. To drink I tried the Chai Latte. Everything was fresh and delicious. The pumpkin muffin was amazing. The staff was extremely friendly. We will be back soon.“

“We love this place. Is the most authentic without going to 626. My parents live around and each time we visit we go there for brunch. Service is great, people need to understand how is the dim sum restaurant service is, is not a regular restaurant. You order, eat and go. That is the same custom as in Hong Kong and Guandong.“

“Service and food was great“

“Gotta love this place! 💙😎💙“

“Open on Mother's Day, Cantonese Cuisine with some dim sum selections and we ordered customized hot pot from their bar area. Our kids love their traditional gourmet Chinese dishes. The staff is very helpful and food is served quickly. Their service is friendly compared to most other Chinese restaurants where the waiters seem more impatient. This is one of our local staples that we patronize often. This restaurant is clean, comfortable, and can host large parties and families.“

“Smaller than expected but I enjoyed the food! I got the: Chicken Karaaga Bowl. The chicken was jucy on the inside and extra crispy on the outside. I liked how they added ginger to it and really complements the dish. They also have Soy Sauce and Gyoza Sauce on the tables to add if needed. Really enjoyed the meal and I had the large size. Is also very wallet friendly.“
