“Went here for St. PATRICK'S DAY looking to have a beer and some fish ? and chips with the wife. Place was crowed and quite festive ☘️. Service was slow with the beer as demand was high and the servers and bar staff were frantically filling orders for ? folks who were chugging away the green beer and other mixed drinks as fast as they were presented to the patrons. Patience was key and the bar and wait staff are ? Champs for working so hard on a Sunday St PADDY'S day. Beer and alcohol service for that day was also available outside on the patio. Enjoyed a cold one streetside with other friendly folks waiting to get a table. Once we were seated the wait staff was fast and polite. Drink order came around fast and surprisingly the food was just as fast too. I highly recommend this place for the fish and chips. Great batter, comes out crisp and light, good tarter sauce and their coleslaw is just the way I like it. Better yet they have one of my favorite Irish Cream Ales on hand Killkenny. Great Red Ale which is always on tap here throughout the year...Definitely coming back. My wife had ordered the same food dish and big thumbs up from her too...she doesn't drink alcohol so she ordered a Shirley Temple to which they served in a large beer ? mug which made her happy too. Would absolutely recommend this place as there is a great bar and restaurant atmosphere and setting in this quaint downtown setting of La Verne. A shout out to manager Anthony who was serving beer on the pation and showing great hospitality to everyone outside.Parking: Small downtown area next to college so parking is a little competitive depending on time of year and time of day and which day of the week. There is a lot to the east that has free parking.“
“We were hesitant to try this Chili's after getting sick at another location and after reading some of the most recent reviews for this location. However, we were very happy with this location. Our server, Michele, was efficient and friendly. The lunch special was a great deal and was cooked perfectly. The chips & salsa & guacamole were all fresh and tasty. Ribs fell off the bone and were well seasoned. The fries were fresh and perfect. The posted sign near the door said Kayla McKenzie was the manager. Thanks for getting this location into shape, Kayla!“

“The golden chicken soup base is very rich and delicious, especially the Japanese A5 Wagyu beef, which is sweet, smooth and tender and melts in your mouth! The food is fresh and there is nothing wrong with it. I will definitely come back again. It was a great experience “
“Dad's birthday was made extra special by the folks at Spaggi's. Started with the tomato puff pastry which is our favorite. The cheese sauce is habit forming and would be delicious on an amazon box. Henry sent out a gnocchi appetizer that was also incredible. Very lite, delicate gnocchi with a tomato and pesto sauce. We split two entrees between three people and had some left over to take home. Veal Florentine was a special for the night. Very hard to find veal around here, Spaggi's always has an incredible Osso Bucco, but if you want veal cutlets, there are not many places. These were very good, topped with prosciutto and spinach with an elegant wine sauce. We also got the steak and lobster. Both cooked perfectly and were delicious. They brought out a dessert for dads bday and we added one as well. A fantastic experience with great service and we got to talk with the owners Anna and Henry.“
“Calamari with shiso, lobster, scallop, and beef tar tar were out of this worlddddd! Didn’t think that this little establishment in the middle of nowhere (sort of) can offer this much. ? it has def become our new fav Chinese fusion restaurant in town.Also highly recommend their mala spicy hotpot cocktail ? amazing service and unique ambience/interior design. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ?“
“The ambiance in this place is so nice. It seems small inside but they have a huge patio outside with heaters. The pizza is so tasty. You cannot go wrong with the Zio and the Nonno. The service is on point and the bartenders are really cool. You will have a great time here.“
“Very Good Service. Amazing food, friendly atmosphere. I go here for lunch occasionally dinner. As good as the food is I can never finish the bowl of PHo. When I take home leftovers, they do an excellent job of separating the noodles and broth and packaging it for me. Highly recommend. One of the only places in Claremont where you can also watch the game and have tasty appetizers.“
“Arrived at 3:45 on a Saturday during the Christmas Holidays. We were seated right away.This place is awesome. Northwoods Inn's original location opened in 1958 in North Monrovia then relocated to it's current location in Covina due to the construction of the 210 freeway.Christmas atmosphere completes your dining experience.Yes, grab a bowl and serve yourself roasted peanuts.Then enjoy the endless purple cabbage , green salad and cheesy bread.Next your main entree. Something on the menu for everyone. Steaks, Seafood, Chicken....etcOn your way out do not forget to grab a handful of root beer barrel candy or their mints.Kid-friendliness: Fun for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“I was greeted as soon as I walked up, very nice service.I ate my pho there oxtails, very good.I had to go orderSalt and pepper fish and spicy wonton ?️I got home and my order was wrong??I had gotten shrimp with rice?The spicy wonton was green?Very disappointed ?Next time I will check before I leave.“
“Our favorite family spot for birthdays and other special occasions, like being mesmerized d by the delightful scent escaping from the smoky meats. Side dishes are always excellent, try the loaded baked potato. Great selection of cocktails, beer & wine.“
“Had a girls night out here - there was 9 of us and our server did a fantastic job! The food was amazing. We ended up just sharing pretty much everything that was on the appetizers menu. Drinks were good and strong (except for the wine with egg whites lol) but that's just a personal preference. Overall, we had a great time. Only suggestion is to turn the air down lol it got sooooo stuffy and hot in there real quick and with that amount of people, air is needed.“
“If you're looking for a good time on a Friday night come here. I reserved a table for my moms birthday and the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The woman who host the karaoke was very sweet and our waiter as well. Me and my family had so much fun.“
“went to barros around 240pm got the individual antipasto salad. and to my surprise it was huge and tastes delicious. also a beer on tap. I've been coming here as a kid since the 90's. It's been threw alot of cosmetic changes threwout the years but GOT DAMN!!! the pizzas and salads are beyond incredible. whenever I need a good pizza and/or salad. my number 1 pick. is Barros pizza over all corporate pizza places. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.the pizza pics are from a previous order a week ago for takeout.another recommendation is to always get your pizza well done. if your into a good crispy pie! ? ? ? ? ?“
“I loved the simplicity and friendliness of this place. We got to throw at our own pace and the gentleman that checked us in kindly took our pictures at the end. 10/10 would come back. They also have cool merch and their prices and add on prices are super affordable. ?“
“This place is always a great spot for a good bite and convo! Wait wasn't too bad, but we did get there early. Table was nice, and atmosphere wasn't too loud so you could hear each other (which is a plus). Food was soooo good, and presentation was on point. Our server was lacing in the customer service skills slightly, but it could have just been an odd night for her. Ordering our food and paying the bill was a challenge bc the computer stopped working for us.Parking: It's always a challenge, but there are so many good restaurants so ??♀️“
“I can confirm Rosie is cute AF and super kind.As a reader fan, I sat next to a vikings fan during an LV V Minnesota game, and we chopped it up the whole time.Vibe was dope. Crowd was cool. Rosie gas recommendations and courtesy.Definitely recommend the spot“

“Must try for mariscos & more! Came in on a Thursday afternoon and I can't wait to come back again! Items ordered: - Pescado a la plancha - Cevicharron - House Tostada: El Güero - 1 dozen of oysters - Micheladas All the food was delicious, the restaurant's service was exceptional. Shoutout to our service & bartender that made sure we had everything we needed and was willing to answer any questions we had. The ambiance was lit and music was good! I couldn't get a picture of all the food we ordered but everything is a must try!“
“Besides the bfast brunch ending at 10am and I couldn’t sit and enjoy bfast at 945am I went back for lunch at 12pm. Lupe was my server he was super friendly and the staff was all very attentive and friendly. It was a great view I definitely recommend!“
“I absolutely love this Korean tofu restaurant! The exceptional service makes every visit a delight. Even on weekends, the wait time is reasonable. The dishes consistently deliver on quality and flavor, making it a reliable go-to spot for a satisfying meal.“
“Stoped by Saturday with some friends. Greeted by friendly staff and owner. 6 different cocktails were served that were beyond great. We left with three bottles to go. Awesome relaxing atmosphere. The Gins were my favorite and all ultra premium but priced fairly. Coconut rum was probably the biggest surprise for me. Who knew a coconut rum could be great. I'll be back.“
“Dropped in on St. Patrick's Day for a quick drink and tots we saw on a photo menu on Yelp.. There was a special menu of limited items with three choices: corned beef cabbage, fish and chips and chicken tenders and fries. We went with the chicken and fries for $12 which came with three nice side pieces with lots of meat and the right amount of batter. Came piping hot too. The fries were good and crisp For drinks most ordered the Irish Mule with Jameson Whiskey. They came in plastic cups but did have a nice pour for their special price $8 Our server was nice and ambiance was chill with Irish music it was still early for what I suspect will be busy later. They must too with limited food items and plastic cups“
“We were looking for a dive bar and found this great bar! The name is just how I felt...Full of cheers. Service was great and also got to meet the owners, Raul and wife Carol. The bar had a dj rocking the crowd and people were dancing enjoying the great music and good drinks!“
“Honestly the bar is great and the service is great. Everyone who works there is nice but the crowd there is not it. There was a group of guys who decided to just pick a fight with us over a game of pool. We simply wanted to play but they started to be super aggressive and talk about some "house rules" that don't even exist. They were extremely rude. I had a couple good interactions but seriously.... Some of the people that come here... not good. But the people that work here are super sweet. Just be careful of who you interact with!!“
“OHHHHMMMMGGGGEEEE this is the bar for me!!! When I first walked in the spider stomp immediately caught my eye. Being a 16 time world champion spider stomper i felt alive again for the first time in 35 years. I got really tired after about 14 hours of play and hopped into the jacuzzi in the back and lit up a dart. I started to get hungry so I ordered a charcuterie board and some oysters to the jacuzzi through the mobile app. Wednesdays are Warhammer Wednesdays where everyone brings their 40K setup, such a tight community. I'm not much of a drinker, but they have a stellar collection of exotic kratom selections (as well as some performance enhancing pills if you know who to ask, will keep you bricked up for days lmao). Well anyways, I had a pretty good time and I'm glad to see Glendora clean up a bit in recent years :)“
“I love this bar & everyone in it.. We love you Nancy , Kim , Greenie , & Melissa aka the bartenders . Helen every Wednesday & Friday for karaoke is the best around . Bobby V. & FISH every other Saturday for live acoustic sounds are a real treat and anyone else who feels like getting up there to do a song are welcome to do so. We have Tina in the kitchen cooking it up just about every Wednesday and Friday and everything she puts together is yummy! LAST but not least we have Gary the Owner , he is totally sweet as can be. The price is right . The cheapest place to drink anywhere i know and drinks are just right not watered down. They have a pool table and a juke box as well. So there's a lot going on at the "G" And to ALL our friends who come there whatever day of the week it's always fun , no matter who's here. Everyone's welcome at the Grand.“
“Great atmosphere, very friendly, welcoming staff. Quick, efficient, competent and friendly service but freedom to take your time and not feel rushed. Everything we ordered was prepared with care and forethought. The food itself was delicious. We all 4 ordered something different and no one was disappointed. The portions were just right, not too much, not too little.“
“Just had their pho again and it's delicious. The service was fast and attentive. He did a great job considering he's the only server this morning. The place is super clean and that's a plus. A little high for a pho place but, it's so worth it. If you're looking for a good clean broth and delicious pho, this is the place for it... doesn't matter the cost.“
“Took 30 minutes to get a water. Sushi was okay and I wouldn’t order the quesotaco not that great. Beer was good lol can’t screw that up and the place looks nice. Hostess was nice and it wasn’t busy at all, only two customers.Kid-friendliness: Kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Ramp and seating“
“I was in town staying at the hotel next door. And we ate at El Torito 2 nights in a row - for Happy Hour. The food was great but the service by Natalie, was beyond exceptional! She has a great personality, she was amazingly accurate, and food was delivered on time. What made the service so exceptional was that we had about 17-20 people each night. We highly recommend El Torito. To me, I will miss it, as it felt like a home away from home. Thank you Natalie.“
“Tried this new restaurant for Easter. There was quite a great variety of food. My favorite was the Chilaquiles bar. They also had an omelette bar and a taco bar. Definitely will go back I love a Sunday brunch and they’re hard to find in the inland Empire.“
“This bar is perfect for what it is. It's clean, there's plenty of tables, lots of space at the bar, big TV's, and a great selection of beers and few ciders. They don't serve food but you can bring your own. They ONLY have beer and wine. They have foosball, automated dart games, and a Bluetooth juke box. The bartenders are all chill and make great micheladas. Anytime I'm in the area and I'm not ready to go home, I pop in for a drink and a round of darts.“
“My wife has been coming to Vinces ever since before she was conceived by her parents and that would be some 70 years ago. This place is an icon in Ontario and other locations now if you like spaghetti you must try this restaurant and don’t forget to order the garlic bread, which is part of the completion of the meal, we live in Arkansas now, so when I come to California to visit I always pick up between four and 6 gallons of meat sauce. We break it down into smaller containers and we have Vinces anytime we want it but we don’t get the special garlic bread with their special recipe, so that part is sad. We love this place and I cannot recommend it enough. You have got to try it and this family is amazingly nice. Keep up the good work everybody Jim and Michelle Everett.“
“It was mine n hubbys first time! We were on our way to el Torito and noticed Temple Bar and decided to try it out. BEST DECISION EVER! The staff was friendly and the food was Delicious! Missy was our waitress and she was awesome!! What a great experience, we will definitely be back. We found our new champagne brunch spot. #TempleBar #buzzybooth“
“I absolutely love this place its such a local place. You can tell everyone that comes to this establishment is a friend and long time customer. The place has great drinks i had a Modelo michelada and it was perfect! They also carry a local beer which i love the fact they support small local businesses. The staff were great super friendly and helpful. The music was great and welcoming. Really great atmosphere. Perfect to watch sport games!“
“BEST. BURGERS. Nowhere else have I had a juicier, tastier, taller, thicker burger with so many diverse flavor options. On top of that, the sides are delicious, too: crispy, sweet, and salty fries, sweet potato fries, and tater tots! Even if burgers aren't your thing, they also have an unbelievable quesabirria melt, fantastic fish and chips, and awesome Taco Tuesdays with delectable grilled fish tacos, and so much more! Solid choices for appetizers, big salads... they've got it all. Our favorite is the main bartender Chelsey, who is not only extremely friendly every time we're in, but a creative, wonderfully talented bartender who never disappoints with an assortment of alcohol at their full bar. They even have some niche brands that we're big fans of. All in all, this place absolutely ROCKS!Parking: Parking can be a little tight next to the restaurant, but there's a massive shopping center parking lot immediately attached to the north, so you won't go without a spot.“
“A very sophisticated restaurant. All at the highest level. The waiters know the menu very well and the composition of the products in each dish. For us it was important because there are some allergies. The service was fast, everything was very tasty, I recommend to visit“
“I went there on a weekday, it's only my tablet, and I was like, is this place good? No customer??? But after I got the food, OMFGGGG! I'm glad I stopped by there after skiing. This is the real gem of si chuan hot pot right here!!!! The service was so good the stuff was so nice. Also, the soup and beef are 100% quality! Only one thing u need to be careful of is the portion of beef. They give you a lot, I can tell because some places will give you a slide of 4 pieces of beef. But here!!? Let's check on my pic! So careful when you order beef, you will not make the waste food.If you like hot pot. Here is the answer.I love this place ❤️“
“Highly Recommend!Forgot the quality of the Food and service here.The Happy Hour is stellar, owner having lunch in the booth behind me and treating his employees with respect and guidance, hummus with Naan is sharable, Lemon Drops exceptional.Will be my fav place“
“Riverside Grill & Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a picturesque view. The food is exquisite, featuring a diverse menu with something for everyone. The atmosphere is inviting, perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. The service is top-notch, ensuring a memorable visit every time. Highly recommend enjoying a meal by the riverside!“
“The fish and chips are fabulous. Now made with halibut..OMG. The service is wonderful and friendly. The food is always fabulous. My hubby is in LOVE with the Waldorf salad topped with their salmon and the raspberry vinaigrette..We love this place and “
“I hadn't tried the food but the peanut butter beer was great. They are not strong drinks so you may need a few for a buzz but the games will send you back on a nostalgic trip. They have everything: Slug, super Mario, street fighter, mortal Kombat, killer instinct, etc. We will be back again.“
“My favorite little spot for a date night in the area. We came for the goth/new wave sort of night a while ago and we had so much fun. Can't wait to come back for their next night to dance and just chill. It's low key and the people there honestly don't seem to be judgey which is huge when you are sort of an awkward dancer lol They also have regular nights and the drink are at a good price.“
“If I would have given a review 7 years ago in 2016, I would have said 1 star. Because there was no beer on tap, it was a Corona from a refrigerator & my thoughts were that I could go across the street to Target to get beer from a refrigerator for cheaper. However, when this guy invited me inside on Wed. 9-6-23,, it was a different story. It was very welcoming & friendly. The cold beers (Corona, Dos Equis, Modelo) in bottles were delicious, especially on a hot day, & at a discounted price during happy hour. The bartender (the owner's wife) kindly made me some free popcorn. There was a jukebox playing Mexican music & it was entertaining to see someone singing along to some songs. I enjoyed my time there & was thankful that my friend had invited me. I really like him & liked it even more watching him play pool & hit the ball really hard at times. And I learned some more Spanish too. So my mind changed from 1 to 5 stars. Thanks for your generosity & thanks for treating him well!“
“This is a local gem. I definitely recommend Britestar Tavern.??Great spot for a legit pint. From fresh craft beers to domestic specials they got you covered. Cool, chill vibe with great draft beer on tap. Pool table, live music on Tuesday nights, Monday night Paint night. ????Props to Bianca for the great service. This place is the real deal.Thank you Britestar Tavern. ??“
“First time coming hereLadies!!! OMG, the food was DELICIOUS compliments to the chef that Thursday morning ? and the drinks were good too. I had 3 mango vodkatinies. Dangerously good. I thought the guacamole n chips were complimentary til I saw my bill lol whatever, tho even that was fire ? get the shrimp tacos!!“
“Great booze at great prices with great wifi.I'm taking a break from the overcrowded coffee shops and taking my laptop to the bar. I got an incredible amount of work done and enjoyed some refreshment in the process.There are great specials every day and lots of food in the food court“
“The food is still really good. Took a friend with me for his first visit and he was amazed by the Back Abbey burger and the pom frites (Belgian style fries cooked in duck fat) of course the Belgian beers on tap and on the bottle list are fantastic.Dietary restrictions: I have to avoid, lactose, wheat and soy. So I enjoy the steak salad and some ftites along with my Belgian beers.“
“The Best Chili's in Cal , Love everything about this place . Especially the servers Jesus, Victoria andjulissa THEY make THIS Chili's THE Best . We just love coming here .friendly severs and Great Personality . Food is Awesome too. It's simply Best Team in Town. The Valdez FamilyKid-friendliness: A Great team all a round“
“Everything was good except for the garlic fries. They were overwhelming to the point of after having 1 we had trouble tasting our other food. I like garlic but this was way too much. Besides that we would return but without the garlic fries. After getting a response from the owner I was corrected by saying that they don't have garlic fries, they have truffle fries.Even more troubling because they tasted garlicky and way over seasoned with that truffle flavor that you added.Therefore I stand corrected.Truffle fries....“
