“What’s not to love about the Grizzly cafe/ Golden acorn“

“one of those low-key neighborhood spots that quietly becomes your “how did I not know about this?” place. I came in for breakfast and left thinking, “Okay… so we’re coming back for lunch too.”

First off: the vibe is classic, cozy, and unpretentious—clean tables, a steady hum of regulars, and staff who greet you like you’ve been eating here for years (in the best way). Service was quick without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want when coffee is still doing its job.

Food-wise, everything felt made-to-order and generously portioned. The breakfast plate in the photo—eggs smothered in a bright, chunky salsa with beans and melted cheese—hits that perfect comfort-food zone: warm, savory, and surprisingly balanced. The salsa has real tomato-and-chile character (not that watery “red sauce” situation), and the beans are creamy enough to scoop up with every bite. Add the dollop of sour cream and it’s basically breakfast therapy.

Then there’s the breakfast sandwich + hash browns combo. The bun is soft, the egg is fluffy, the bacon brings the salt-and-smoke, and the cheese does what cheese is supposed to do: glue happiness together. The hash browns are the kind you keep “sampling” until you realize you accidentally ate half the plate.

And because it’s Molly’s Souper, you can’t not try soup—even at breakfast. The lighter broth soup (with carrot and veggies) is clean and comforting, and the creamy one in the little cup is rich without being heavy—perfect “I want something cozy but I still have a day to live” energy.

Overall: hearty breakfast, genuinely friendly service, and that rare feeling you get when a place is consistent and cares. If you’re in Upland and want a solid, satisfying meal that doesn’t try too hard, Molly’s Souper is an easy yes.“

“The food and service were both amazing!!“

“Classic 50s Americana and good“

“Tiana was an amazing server! Food was delicious and drinks were amazing.“

“My mom and brother and I went to The Heights for lunch, and we enjoyed everything about it, the vibe, my chicken marsala was delicious, mom had cranberry turkey sandwich and loved it, brother had the dill salmon, he loved it. My only complaint is, it can get a little loud when the place gets full of customers. Yes half of it is a bar, but overall, we will be going back, great place!!“

“Corky’s is awesome! Love it!“

“Was a good time on Sunday evening listing to live music !!!“

“Fantastic food. I had the black cod, it was light and fresh, I highly recommend. Great service by Kee and the coffee was excellent. This is a great place to meet clients for lunch or dinner because it is quiet and you can probably utilize the lounge areas outside. A great Claremont meeting place!“

“Try the Chicken Quesadilla from the Appetizers menu. Half will fill you up, take the other half home!“

“This is a must try place ✌🏼“

“Great service. Cool place to grab lunch and a beer.“

“les recuerdo que como dueño de las franquicias cocos bakery. y dennya restaurantes y variasmas espero nos visiten.“

“We love this place. The food is excellent. We had the fish and chips. Crispy and delicious.The service is great. Staff is friendly and attentive. I enjoy an experience where the staff talk and laugh with you. Love the fish decorations too. Also I judge a resturant by their iced tea....the iced tea is delicious!!!“

“Been here twice now and can’t wait to keep coming back. Everything we’ve had is delicious. I’m glad they have vegetarian options. The buffalo cauliflower is really tasty. It’s lively but not loud- you can still have a conversation. The beer and cold tail selection is better than most places in the village.“

“ABSOLUTELY love BARDOT! Amazing food and great atmosphere!“

“les recuerdo que tenemos un contrató original firmado Que estipula que también yo soy dueño también delas franquicias cocos bakery restaurantes y Dennys restaurantes y varias más franquicias con sus derivados Llevo 28años de dueño también y espero que secomuniquen“

“Always awesome there! Never a bad experience“

“We are huge fans of BBD, we always stop at one when going out of town. But todays brunch was the worst we’ve ever had. My wife ordered the corned beef hash and the corned beef as like shredded shoe leather, the toast wasn’t even toasted at all, her over easy eggs were over hard. She ordered a side of bacon and it was drenched in grease. My granddaughter ordered French toast which was good but the syrup was like sugar water. I ordered the chili burger which was pretty good, chili was sweet which I don’t care for but that’s a preference. Best part of my wife’s meal was her water. Service was great nor bad, just so so. Will need to really think about returning to BBD or not. Very disappointed. I’m hoping it’s just that specific location and not all.“

“10/10 would recommend, would eat here again! The food was phenomenal. You can't miss with anything on the menu. My omelet was light, fluffy and wonderfully cheesy. Also had a flaky, buttery biscuit with gravy. Scrumptious! And the option of salad as a side is a bonus for those who want to go a little lighter with the sides.“

“I have been going to this place for over 20 years and it has always been pretty good. But I went this morning for a breakfast burrito and was very surprised. They have their own homemade red salsa. I have to say it was really good. I think I will go back to buy some of their salsa. Their breakfast burritos are filled with bacon, egg, and potato at a good price“

“Food is delicious. Drinks are amazing. Atmosphere is fun!!“

“A great place to hike, ride up and down the mountain if you’re a skilled bike rider. Cathy the cafe chef is sweet and makes great food. Great place for a day drip of camping.“

“Ive been wanting the hat for over a year since i moved up to NorCal! I am so glad i got to make a stop today. Always Amazing. Never Disappoints. The Hat us affordable and great for sharing! The serving size on Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries w Pickles and Mustard is HUGE! I like the small spicy yellow peppers on the side with an ice cold Orange Bang.... to me it is a classic. Ive never had a bad visit to THE HAT. Ilysm ❤️“

“Decent food, great atmosphere, outstanding service 🤙“

“best breakfast in Riverside County, worth the short wait!“

“Great food Excellent service“

“INCREDIBLE burgers. I travel a lot and eat a lot of places. This one is special. Come try It!“

“The food is soo good. The service, not so much“

“I was honestly flabbergasted by this experience in the best way. My DoorDash order got mixed up with someone who had the same name, but I didn’t even know there was an issue before the owner of Dr. Grubb’s called me.

They explained everything, told me to keep the wrong order, and said they were already on their way to personally deliver the correct one. My order was small, just for one person, but they still went completely out of their way to fix it.

Really went above and beyond.“

“Patty was excellent and got our food to the table hot.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Punch Bowl Social on March 21st while visiting with our out-of-town soccer team! Coordinating plans for such a large group (20 adults and 20 kids) could have been stressful, but thanks to the incredible staff, everything went smoothly from start to finish.

A huge shoutout to Jizell, the hostess, who went above and beyond by staying on the phone with me until every detail of our large group reservation was perfectly arranged—including dinner, karaoke, and bowling. Her patience and dedication made the planning process so much easier and truly set the tone for a great evening.

When we arrived, Millie, our server, was nothing short of amazing. Handling a group our size is no small task, but she did it with such patience, energy, and a fun attitude that made everyone feel welcome and taken care of. She kept things running smoothly while still making it a fun and memorable experience for both the adults and the kids.

It’s honestly so hard to find a place that truly works for both teens and adults, but Punch Bowl Social absolutely NAILED it! There was something for everyone, and the whole group had an incredible time.

We’re so grateful for the outstanding service and unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back when we’re in town next season!“

“This spot is a true gem. Everything I tried was tasty and satisfying. The servings are massive and the prices are very fair, so you really feel like you are getting great value. The Hat is a reliable choice, and every item from the chili to the pastrami is packed with flavor. You really cannot go wrong here.“

“Excellent place for a special occasion!“
