“Love this place best food around. My parents come from la to go to Chris's and I come from Fontana. Good prices and great food“

“The food here is great as i love to get their corndogs and lemonade. Their service is even better as they treat you with respect and hospitality. Its a perfect place to get something while you are at the mall. It is located in the food court so its a very convenient spot in the mall.“

“The Hat isn't just a restaurant—it's a part of my personal history. I grew up eating here, and during my college years, it became my go-to late-night spot. There's something about walking up to The Hat, smelling that unmistakable aroma of sizzling pastrami, and knowing you're about to dig into something unforgettable.

Their pastrami is simply the best—no exaggeration. Piled high, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of fat to melt in your mouth. The sandwich is served hot, with that signature mustard and pickles that cut through the richness just right. Whether it's the classic pastrami sandwich, chili cheese fries loaded with pastrami, or even the pastrami burger, it's always satisfying.

And it wouldn’t be a visit to The Hat without an Orange Bang to wash it all down. That icy, creamy orange drink pairs perfectly with the savory flavors of the meal—it's nostalgic and refreshing all at once. If you know, you know.

The portions here are generous, easily shareable (if you're feeling kind), and always freshly made. I’ve taken friends and family here over the years, and everyone always walks away impressed—and full.

One of the things I love most is that they stay open late, which made them a lifesaver during long study nights and post-hangout food runs in college. You could always count on The Hat to deliver a consistently great experience, no matter the hour.

This place has stood the test of time for good reason. It’s not flashy or trendy—it’s just damn good food, served with consistency and heart. The Hat will always hold a special place in my memories and continues to earn my loyalty with every visit.“

“The food is really good and the sauces are good too and the drinks have a really good flavor and really refreshing. Definitely recommend!!!

Parking: The area doesn’t have many shops beside two or three and there rarely anyone there so there’s so much parking

Kid-friendliness: It’s really nice in there its colorful and there are little figurines that are lined up behind the glass and there fun to look at and can keep kids entertained while waiting“

“It was nice like always. I like looking at Bert’s mini mall across the street. Nice motorcycle there. Nice atmosphere and nice young people serving the public.“

“On new years day I came into the mall with three cups ready to get my lemonade refill. I didn't realize that they closed an hour earlier and that I was 9min late. The cashier spoke with her supervisor and they helped me get my lemonade even though they were closed. Customer service like this is so hard to find these days. Thank you very much for going out of your way to be a blessing!“
