Family Restaurants near Chino, CA

“My niece and I recently visited Chino Cafe for her birthday breakfast, and the experience was outstanding from the moment we walked through the door. We were immediately greeted by Araceli, whose kindness, warmth, and genuine friendliness set the tone for the entire visit. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and inviting, with the classic charm of a true family diner. It felt comfortable and welcoming in a way that is becoming increasingly rare these days. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly, the portions were generous, and the menu offered an excellent variety of traditional breakfast favorites along with lunch and dinner options. The quality of the food combined with the reasonable prices made it an exceptional value. One of the highlights of our visit was meeting Salva, the owner. The atmosphere he and his staff have created is something special. The environment was so friendly and welcoming that I found myself laughing and chatting with other guests as if we were all old friends. It reminded me of the warm, personal customer service that used to be common before COVID—a place where people genuinely enjoy serving others and making them feel at home. I later found out that Araceli, the lovely lady that greeted us, was his wife! This was more than just a meal; it was a wonderful dining experience. I was so impressed that I immediately shared my experience with family and friends and encouraged them to add Chino Cafe to their list of must-visit restaurants. If you're looking for delicious food, generous portions, fair prices, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Chino Cafe. We will definitely be back.“

“I was craving an old fashioned char broiled burger and my sweetheart used the internet search for best local burger. One of the options was Fire150. After looking online we visited it in Norco. BIG SMILE! Located in a business strip mall on Hamner Avenue, parking was easy. Just walking in smelled “char broil”. The staff was welcoming and they graciously explained the available fare. I selected a “smokehouse” burger, and my sweetheart decided on the chicken tenders. The dining area was cozy and the wait wasn’t long. The burger came with fries, and she got coleslaw. EXACTLY the char broiled burger I was craving! I’ll be back often.😃“

“We love the Mozzarella pizza with chimichurri. the milanese is delicious“

“Update May 2026 was seated right away ordered meatballs and pasta with Alfredo sauce, chips, salsa and guac and barbecue wings. Wings came out great with great blue cheese and carrots and celery. Alfredo came out great with good meatball a little too much bread though enough to stuff a turkey the chips, salsa and guac was plentiful, but the guacamole did not have really any flavor. The ribbon sandwich we ordered with onion rings. The onion rings were good we asked for a side of ranch the Reuben sandwich looked like it was on life-support not the traditional Roscoes that you remember from the past. Sent back to Rueben, but they still charge me for the ranch dressing which we did not need anymore. Got the ribs full rack. Flavor was good as for a side of barbecue, but it came out cold. The ribs were a little bit thin on the meat the potato salad was good. The baked beans were a little bit watery. Overall, the meal was a 6.5 out of 10.Food was good and filling, pazookie was huge, great service by Devon and staff“

“First time. It was a full house at 4:30 pm. Picked up my order. Had to wait in “OrderHere” line for my pick up. That was the only prob. Should have a line just for pick ups. Came home and food was quite tastey. Ordered the xl supreme pizza and garlic knots. We will be back 👍🏽“

“Costumer service is great and the food is delicious“

“I almost never leave restaurant reviews, but this place absolutely earned one.

I ordered the chaufa de carne, but swapped the beef for chicken, and WOW. The chicken had this incredible smoky flavor that tasted like it came straight off the grill. The rice was cooked perfectly, and with the chicken and egg, the whole dish was packed with protein without sacrificing flavor.

Now let’s talk about that green salsa… as a Mexican, this is where restaurants usually lose me. 😂 If you’re going to hand me salsa, I expect it to make my mouth tingle, and this one DELIVERED. It actually has a kick! It wasn’t spicy just for the sake of being spicy either—it had amazing flavor. I’ve never had homemade chaufa, but if someone told me this is exactly what authentic homemade tastes like, I’d believe them.

On top of the food, the young man at the register was incredibly polite, welcoming, and knew the menu inside and out. He answered every question confidently and made ordering easy. Great customer service like that deserves recognition.

There was a full-on party in my mouth from the first bite to the last. I’ll definitely be back!“

“My son said “The service was so fast and had the best ham I had ever eaten also the bacon was perfect!”“

“buena comida y y muy atentos gracias“

“Easily my favorite diner in the San Dimas area. It’s a traditional American diner right in the heart of downtown San Dimas on what looks like good old-fashioned Main Street America. Parking in this area is extremely easy, there is a parking lot in the rear, but we were able to find a free space right out front. Inside is also very large with many different seating areas and seating options. Our waitress was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out fast and at a fair price.

The menu is really large and filled with all sorts of great American diner classics. I had heard so much about their Chicken Fried Steak and overheard many other diners ordering it before me so that’s what I chose for my breakfast and I was extremely satisfied with it. It was a large cut of meat and it had great flavor. The eggs were also cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed them. I got a biscuit on the side, which was pretty small, but the flavor was really nice, I just wish it was larger in size.

Overall I would suggest to any diner fan in the area.“

“Mizithra cheese my favorite“

“We love this place so much, we will have to come back. It’s very clean, staff is super friendly and respectful. We felt at home and enjoyed our meal so much that we wanna write review and recommended it. We drove from Fontana to here and it’s worth the trip for sure. If you’re into seafood then def check out this place. The grilled oysters and lobster roll are our favs!“

“my favorite place for breakfast 😋 food is good and priced reasonably“

The best cooks are there in the kitchen making flavorful dishes like nowhere else at a decent price. Place is always clean, stopt by if youre in the Pomona area.“

“I ordered tacos gobernador and I was very disappointed. It's not good at all, and i couldn't even see the shrimp. I'm not sure if they were chopped very finely or what. But we also ordered a botana, and that was delicious. Also, the waiter was too busy watching a soccer game on TV then taking care of us.“
